    Elastic Cummerbund

    The spiritus systems elastic cummerbund is an excellent addition and option for the LV119 series plate carriers. It is slick, holds the carrier tight to your body, and can hold a variety of equipment so long as you can squeeze it into the elastic cells. The only con I have found is if you secure the elastic cummerbund onto your body while it is loaded with magazines, radios, or whatever else you carry on your kit, when you remove said items from the cells within the cummerbund, the elastic will get slightly looser resulting in a slightly less snug fit every time you draw a magazine or remove an item from the elastic cells. This is definitely not a con, as it is the nature of elastic, however, one way I have found to mitigate this minor issue is by securing the cummerbund and THEN loading in whatever items you desire. This is a great piece of kit and the elastic affords itself well for minimalist setups and can holds its own under heavier loadouts. Moreover, the elastic makes your carrier very comfortable to wear for long durations of time or under kit such as rucksacks and chest rigs. Although the cummerbund is not meant for the mounting of additional pouches, I have found that it is more than sturdy enough to support extra pouches if you can manage to attach them securely (get creative with elastic shock chord). Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone that is looking to streamline their carrier or just needs a comfortable option for the range or training days.

    Lv119

    I recently received my lv119 set up. This is the first time I have tried a stretch cummerbund on my carrier. I have had a few, and After wearing this for a very short time I have to say it’s beyond comfortable. The most comfortable carrier I have ever worn. The quality, everything about this carrier is awesome. Also, their customer service is absolutely incredible. I had emailed them a question. I received a thorough response before I logged out of my email. It was thorough and very helpful. I ended up emailing them a few times, and every time the response was just as fast and helpful as well. Overall the whole experience has been top notch. I will continue to buy from them and I will always recommend them. Thank you Spiritus for such a great experience from start to finish.

Description

DISCONTINUED - WILL NOT RESTOCK

 

NOTE: This LV/119 Cummerbund is designed for use with a front and rear LV/119 plate bag.  

The 5-Inch Elastic Hook/Loop Tape (HLT) Cummerbund is a simple and effective solution for professionals who need to carry and have rapid access to additional ammunition and equipment on their sides while still maintaining a low profile. Side loading is great for ground vehicle and low visibility operations. Elastic cells are 3 inches wide and are built around standard 5.56 Magazines, such as the PMAG. Elastic cummerbunds prevent user fatigue while worn for long durations, as they stretch with the body during active maneuvers. 

By using 5-Inch Elastic, we allow for the stable carriage of taller items as they are held more securely. The sewn-on pull tabs allow for the use of the Bungee Retention Kit to securely hold items for HALO, OTB, or other kinetic operations. The tabs also allow users to pull on the cell and make it easier to load and extract equipment. 

The Elastic HLT Cummerbund features premium, Berry Amendment Compliant materials sourced from industry leaders in textiles manufacturing. It offers superior construction processes, including triple stitching on the elastic cells to prolong life and prevent cell failure when stuffed with-non standard or oddly shaped items. 

 

Cummerbund Attachment

The cummerbund attachment is a proprietary system that allows for the use of all of our cummerbunds, as well as allowing for a wide range of adjustment. The cummerbund attaches inside the plate bag, which is advantageous for a few reasons.

1. There is no external mounting that can get snagged or rip off when exiting vehicles in haste.

2. The design creates a smooth profile when worn underneath clothing.

3. Hook & loop is not utilized as an attachment method on the rear plate bag. Hook & loop wears out over time and is a generally less-than-optimal attachment method when not supported in other ways. Hook & loop doesn't handle weight well and it sticks to everything, especially cloth seats.

 

SIZING

The cummerbund comes in two sizes: Size 1 and Size 2, each offering up to 14 inches of total adjustment. This allows for a proper fitment for all body types. 


To figure our appropriate sizing, take measurement of the waist at the belly button. When measuring, users should dress as they would while actually wearing the carrier. For example, if the user is operating in arctic environments, they should be wearing cold weather equipment when measuring. 

Size 1: 28" to 42" 

Size 2: 40" to 54"

 

SOLD AS A SET.

 

If your waist measurement is 42", we suggest going up to the Size 2 cummerbund.
