routing radio wires and hydration system tubes. The suspenders have an integrated quick release – in order to get rid of the plate carrier, one has to unfastened the cummerbund and then firmly pull the two straps that end with plastic grips. The back panel of JPC 2.0 serves as the fixing point and adjusting the size of the cummerbund. The whole panel has been covered with MOLLE/ PALS webbing. There is also an emergency drag handle placed in the upper part. Additionally, there are two vertical zippers (in fact half-zippers, the second half is the part of the backpack module), which are used to quickly and easily attach dedicated back panels that allow an immediate change in the configuration of equipment. Now, the user may choose between three models that are compatible with AVS: Ä MOLLE Zip On Panel – a flat panel with MOLLE/PALS webbing for any configuration, depending on the needs and purpose; Ä Pouch Zip On Panel – a panel with sewn on pockets: two upper pockets closed with flaps with Velcro straps, each may hold three flashbangs (NICO, Mk13, and P1A6 – latter wil fit but only without the weight add-on, because it will be impossible to fasten the pocket), and a horizontal lower pocket fastened with a zipper, which serves as a universal pocket or a medical kit; Ä Pack Zip On Panel – a small, single-chamber top-loading pack with the capacity of 8–10l with an access flap closed with a Velcro. The rear part of all of the above panels has a vertical slot for a hydration bladder up to two liters volume Cummerbund of JPC 2.0 is a skeletal construction, almost the same as in – the left and the right side, connected and adjusted in the back of the vest with a round rubber, consist of three belts. Obviously, they are not made from a single layer of 1" webbing, since such a strap would not provide proper firmness and allow attachment of additional elements. Each belt is sandwich-structured: two layers of a nylon webbing and a stiffener layer between them. In the front part of the cummerbund that goes under the mag pouch panels, where JPC 2.0 is fastened, it changes into flat loops that allow the user to quickly take off the vest. EQUIPMENT
