REVIEW: CONDOR CYCLONE PLATE CARRIER MULTICAM BLACK
09/06/2023By SPARTANAT crew

In the future, it will be necessary for emergency forces to wear bulletproof vests to protect themselves. These protective vests are not only needed in war and crisis areas, but now also worldwide in large cities with high crime rates. CONDOR OUTDOOR has developed the Cyclone Plate Carrier, a lightweight plate carrier, so that they can carry out their mission of protecting and saving lives safely. We at SPARTANAT took a closer look at the CONDOR Cyclone Plate Carrier in Crye-Precision™ MultiCam® Black.

The CYCLONE is made of Mil-Spec 500 Denier Cordura® fabric and weighs approximately 660 grams. Heavy MOLLE/PALS webbing on the front and back of the plate carrier, and MOLLE/PALS hook-and-loop panels provide ample space for modular attachments and patches.

A flat pocket on the front allows for the storage of maps, writing tools, or medical attachment cards.

A sturdy grab/carry handle made of webbing is securely attached to the back of the Cyclone.

The Cyclone features adjustable padded shoulder straps.

Quick-release buckles on the shoulder pads make it easier to put on and take off the plate carrier.

Velcro® Back Strips on the Cyclone allow for the storage and routing of cables or hydration tubes

The adjustable cummerbund can be completely removed. The size adjustment is done through ladder buckles on the back.

On the sides of the cummerbund are MOLLE/PALS loops.

Inside there are pockets for storing protective equipment such as ceramic plates up to a size of 15 x 25 cm.

The cummerbund is attached to the front plate and then only the front panel goes on top. The Velcro closure holds everything securely in place.

Inside, the Cyclone is kept very minimalist and simple. There is no padding and no option for it. At the bottom you can see the pull-down fabric straps.

Each plate can be quickly inserted and removed via accessible pull-down flaps. The Cyclone accommodates M or L swimmer/ESAPI plates on the front and back, up to a size of 25 cm x 34 cm.

CONCLUSION: We are very satisfied with the price-performance wonder of the Cyclone Plate Carrier from CONDOR. At an affordable price, you get a solid, full-featured plate carrier that is nothing to hide.

The CONDOR CYCLONE PLATE CARRIER is available in Black, Coyote brown, and Crye-Precision™ MultiCam® Black from all retailers carrying CONDOR. The plate carrier costs from 269 EUR.

In Germany, CONDOR is available at TACTICAL PROTECTION GEAR: the CONDOR CYCLONE is available in Black and Coyote for 239.50, in Multicam for 279.50, and in Multicam Black also for 279.50.
