In this video, we look at the Javlin Concepts A-JAC which I think is one of the most innovative plate carriers I’ve seen to date. Let’s see how it stacks up!

Looking first at the front bag of the Javlin Concepts A-JAC, we see the shoulder strap is directly integrated into the front bag. The lack of a QD shoulder system is a purposeful thought process that was weighed in order to maximize the capabilities of the warfighter.
Moving down the carrier, we see three rows of laser cut loop back molle. This area can be used to connect to your phone or any other personal communication device or just attach in hook and loop patches or identifier tabs.
On the side of the carrier, we see two horizontal slits along with one vertical slit. These two horizontal slits are cut perfectly to fit an ITW QASM clip in the top and then into the bottom slit. Allowing you to easily integrate into whatever placard system you may prefer.
Or you can also connect in a placard using G-hooks at either the high or low position. I used the trident placard by Javlin Concepts and used the top horizontal area to connect in my PTT.
Moving downward, we see the front of the bag has a large loop backed area to secure your placard system. The lack of molle shouldn’t be a deterrent for those wanting to run legacy molle setups as Javlin Concepts also sells a molle placard that would make it easy to swap legacy molle setups quickly.
Flipping the front bag over we see high quality materials on the inside that can definitely take a beating. But one of the neatest things you’ll see is that the plates actually slide into the top of the plate carrier. The top flap is then sized to the plates and allows for a large variation in plate sizes that will fit within the carrier.
Moving to the rear bag, we see the top buckles that connect the front and rear bag. The shoulder straps then connect in via hook and loop beneath the plates to secure them in position. There is also a drag handle located at the center of the carrier that is secured down low in the carrier to give ease of use of the drag handle.
The rear of the A-Jac is also full laser cut molle with two loop backed sections. The full molle section allows you to connect in molle style rear packs and panels or use the Jac Pac for a rear pack that can actually be accessed by the user.
Lifting up the straps on the rear plate bag exposes the hook and loop cummerbund section. Here, you can use any hook and loop cummerbund that is less than 3 inches wide. I used the elastic cummerbund option 1 due to being able to connect in molle items to the inside and outside of the cummerbund while also having an elastic portion for comfort and expansion when running around.
The shoulder straps have molle sections to hook in additional gear and also include sections of one wrap to aid in cable management. You can easily change the positions of the one wrap if you need them in a different position.
