The carrier was designed to fit United States Standard Issue SAPI cut plates, but it will fit other cuts as well as long as they fit within the specifications listed below. The bags were built to accommodate "thicker" plates, but they will not fit plates that do not fall within the measurements listed.

The LV-120 Plate Carrier, is a fine-tuned solution of load carriage design that answers the nearly impossible demand of weight, durability, integration, adaptability and refinement. A completely new offering from its predecessor, the LV-119, the LV-120 was developed in collaboration with the professional end-user, in an effort to address the unique and diverse requirements for next-gen warfare.

At its core, the LV-120 Plate Carrier addresses the warfighter’s need to tailor the system to a constantly shifting mission profile. The design considers current cable routing requirements, various plate sizes and types, weight (2.03lbs for size Medium), increased load carriage, durability and additional extensive end-user feedback.

The base configuration is a mission-ready, highly rigid plate carrier, constructed with X-Pac X50 Nylon and Nylon Laminate. The new materials, ensure a highly abrasion-resistant, tear-resistant, waterproof material; ensuring the carrier is near-hydrophobic and won’t retain water. Additionally, the 3D-mesh which dries near instantaneously, lines the front and back panels, creating a space for ventilation of heat and perspiration - making the LV-120 a notable solution to virtually any environment.

Equipped with removable articulating shoulder straps, with ride-height adjustment which allows the carrier to naturally settle on the body. For those who require a quick-release function, the straps can be interchanged with the LV-120 Tubes Shoulder Strap (sold separately) for easy donning and doffing.

The front panel features a loop molle field, designed to accommodate Placards, EUD’s or other mission-specific attachments. Placards can now be attached using G-Hooks, 1-inch side release buckles, or the innovative, Quick Attach Tab System. Laser cut ports for PTT securement are located on either side of the molle field, which also serve as a channel for comm-cable management. Strategically designed ingress points for future attachments can also serve as a comms passthrough into the plate bag, allowing for easy storing of excess cabling and connectors.

The rear panel is equipped with a full molle field, to accommodate a highly customizable configuration, including a 9"x 4" loop field, for identifier patches. Rigid wings located on either side of the rear plate bag function as a mounting platform for future attachments, as well as allow the Reactive Cummerbund to have an articulated radius around the edge of the plate for guaranteed retraction with movement.

The newly implemented rigidity of the Reactive Cummerbund provides a weight transfer from the shoulders and spine by ensuring the plate bags are kept compressed against the body, without compromising the same level of comfort as an elastic cummerbund. The mounting location of the cummerbund ensures that armor plates are positioned correctly on the body, while maintaining a level cummerbund. The added rigidity also allows for heavier items to be mounted on either side of the polypropylene composite (CURV) chassis. A one-size-fits most sizeable structure, combined with a tension-adjusting shock cord system in the rear accommodates natural flexion and expansion of the body and allows for a streamlined acquisition process since there is only one size. The Reactive Cummerbund is compatible with their SIDE ARMOR BAGS and SIDE ARMOR BAG CAPS for use with hard and soft side armor.

In an effort to consolidate logistical burden and create compatibility across brands for end users, the implementation of the #10 Zipper has been included into the LV-120. A strategic decision made in conjunction with Ferro Concepts, to create a "Universal Carrier Attachment Standard." This new zipper will limit the compatibility of legacy Spiritus back panel attachments but allow for future developments and cross-compatibility.
