AAPC MOD.3

The AAPC Mod.3 is the chassis carrier you configure for your mission. Removable shoulder pads accept body armor modules like the A-23 Aylet Shoulder Protection (sold separately), adding upper-body ballistic coverage that few carriers deliver directly from the shoulder mount point.

The chassis frame and internal cushion system work together on behind-armor blunt trauma protection. The Corflex frame absorbs and distributes impact energy while the cushions provide ventilation through wide air channels, keeping you cool under load. QASM and G-Hook interface on the front means placard swaps take seconds. Three product generations have refined this platform. Mod.3 restores webbing to the back panel, deepens cummerbund overlap for better ballistic coverage, and improves the tooth-and-slot chassis engagement. Four sizes from S through XL cover chests under 100 cm to over 120 cm, so the rig fits your body instead of the other way around.

Features

• Shoulder pad armor mounts / removable pads accept body armor modules (sold separately) for upper-body ballistic protection mounted at the shoulder.
• Frame-integrated behind-armor blunt trauma protection / the Corflex chassis absorbs and distributes impact energy across the frame. Internal cushions ventilate through wide air channels.
• QASM + G-Hook placard interface / compatible with QASM and G-Hook front placards.
• Third-generation refinement / Mod.3 restores back panel webbing, deepens cummerbund ballistic overlap so soft armor panels extend further under the rear plate bag, and tightens chassis tooth-and-slot engagement for a more positive lock between frame halves.
• Industry-standard Zip-On back panel / rear panels and packs from multiple manufacturers attach via the industry-standard Zip-On interface.
• Emergency doffing system / included as standard. Allows rapid carrier removal by the wearer or an assisting operator.
• 500D Cordura with Cordura laminate / US-made Multicam and licensed A-TACS FG. Jacquard IR-remission webbing. YKK (Japan) zippers. Duraflex (USA) hardware.

System Integration

The AAPC Mod.3 chassis interfaces with Ars Arma load distribution and protection accessories. The removable shoulder pads provide a direct mount point for upper-body armor modules.

Load distribution (sold separately): Telescoping struts connect to the Corflex chassis and redirect carrier weight to the A-24 Needletail Belt or A-19 Atlas Belt.

Ballistic protection modules (sold separately): The A-23 Aylet Shoulder Protection mounts on the removable shoulder pads. The chassis also accepts the A-21 Gorzhet Neck Protection, A-22 Plantain Abdominal Protection, and A-21 Clover Groin Protection.
