Tasmanian Tiger Plattenträger LP MKII

What makes the TT Plate Carrier LP MKII suitable for undercover use?

Three design choices make the LP MKII distinctively covert: (1) T-SQUARE RIP FD 210-denier polyamide with full-dull (FD) yarn finish that eliminates the reflective sheen of standard nylon; (2) an ultra-flat construction with a neutral front face carrying no external MOLLE webbing or attachment hardware; and (3) a length-adjustable elastic side attachment that avoids the visible plastic buckles of conventional carriers. Combined, these elements create a profile that closely resembles civilian outerwear under indirect lighting and at conversational distances.

What plate size does the LP MKII accept?

The TT Plate Carrier LP MKII is designed to accommodate standard plate sizes consistent with its S/M sizing. The carrier accepts front and rear hard armor plates or soft armor panels. For specific plate dimensions compatible with the LP MKII, Tasmanian Tiger recommends consulting the sizing guide — the carrier's ultra-flat design is most effective with thinner plate profiles that preserve the low-vis silhouette.

What is T-SQUARE RIP FD material?

T-SQUARE RIP FD is Tasmanian Tiger's proprietary designation for a 210-denier 100% polyamide fabric with a very tight special weave construction. The FD (full-dull) designation indicates that FD yarn is used, which imparts a matte, non-reflective surface finish. The result is a fabric that is extremely stable and light, significantly stronger than equivalent-weight standard polyamide, and visually muted — reducing the tactical identification value of the carrier when worn under civilian clothing.

Does the TT LP MKII have MOLLE webbing for attaching pouches?

The LP MKII's neutral front construction deliberately omits external MOLLE webbing to maintain its ultra-flat, undercover profile. This is a design trade-off — the carrier prioritizes concealment over modular pouch attachment. Operators requiring MOLLE capability should consider the Tasmanian Tiger Plate Carrier – Laser Cut or the TT QR LC, both of which provide full laser-cut MOLLE webbing with greater external attachment options.

What colors are available for the Tasmanian Tiger LP MKII?

The TT Plate Carrier LP MKII is available in four colorways: Black (TT-7381-040), Olive Drab (TT-7381-331), Coyote Tan (TT-7381-040-S/M-3), and Titan Gray (TT-7381-021). All variants are S/M sizing with identical specifications. The Titan Gray option in particular provides a neutral mid-tone that reads as casual outerwear in urban environments.

Q: What does LP stand for?

A: LP stands for Low Profile — the design philosophy prioritizing minimal thickness, neutral front face, and concealable carry over maximum external gear-mounting capability.

Q: Can I attach MOLLE pouches to the LP MKII?

A: The LP MKII does not have a MOLLE front face by design. The side elastic pockets accommodate magazines, a radio, or small accessories. For full MOLLE front access, the TT Plate Carrier LC or QR LC is the correct choice.

Q: What plate sizes fit?

A: Size S/M accepts SAPI plates up to 30 × 25 cm. Size L accepts plates up to 33 × 26 cm. Plates are not included.

Q: Is T-Square Rip FD the same as CORDURA?

A: T-Square Rip FD is a different fabric — a tight 210-denier full-dull nylon weave optimized for low visual signature and lightweight carry. CORDURA 700 den is Tasmanian Tiger's primary fabric for full-featured tactical products; T-Square Rip FD is reserved for low-profile applications like the LP MKII.

Q: Does this carrier have a quick-release system?

A: No. For quick-release doffing capability, see the TT Plate Carrier QR LC which features an ROC buckle emergency release system.
