An Austrian with world-class talent

How must the Austrian soldier carry his plates? Heavily. This will change soon, because it will soon be a true pleasure to swing the homegrown MEHLER SK4 and put on equipment. Because the STEINADLER has laid an egg in its aerie that holds a great surprise: a plate carrier in Austrotarn, which will lead the troops in service to delighted cries of joy. Finally, an Austrian of world-class: the “Kürass” is a plate carrier that has everything that the modern world has to offer. Placards, a sturdy cummerbund, Zip-On panels. Who would have thought there would ever be so much modularity for the Alpine republicans? And where does the trained Austrian get his gear from: of course from the ZEUGHAUS, which is the new brand of STEINADLER for soldiers with the red-white-red heart. 

We exclusively reveal the details about the “Kürass” and show the first images: 

Robust construction: 500D nylon with NIR treatment

Made from 500D nylon with NIR treatment, the carrier combines high abrasion resistance with reduced weight. At the same time, the NIR treatment minimizes the signature under night vision devices, thus supporting unobtrusive appearances in tactical scenarios.

Maximum modularity Placard compatibility (SwiftClip & G-Hook)

The front platform is compatible with common placard systems. Thanks to SwiftClip and G-Hook mounts, magazine inserts or other front modules can be quickly swapped out and adapted to different operational requirements.

Zip-On back panel interface

The back piece is compatible with common Zip-On back panels, allowing for a quick expansion with additional equipment or mission-specific modules.

Ergonomics and adaptability: infinitely adjustable cummerbund

The Velcro-based cummerbund can be infinitely adjusted both in the front and back, allowing for precise adaptation to different body sizes and clothing layers. The three-row cummerbund features a structured construction with lateral flex, ensuring freedom of movement and carrying comfort even during dynamic movements.

Quick-release system with QR tubes

Integrated quick-release tubes at the front allow for fast donning and doffing of the system.

Comfort in use: removable 3D-mesh back cushion

The breathable 3D-mesh back cushions improve air circulation and increase wearing comfort. They can be easily removed for cleaning or maintenance.

Ergonomic shoulder straps

The shoulder straps are length-adjustable and feature padded shoulder pads with 3D-mesh as well as integrated MOLLE cuts for cable management or attachment of additional equipment.

Thoughtful functional details: drag handle with safety

The sturdy rescue handle on the back is secured with a Velcro strap, keeping it flat in everyday use and preventing unintended removal.

Velcro surfaces for identification

Generous Velcro surfaces on the front and back allow for the attachment of patches, markings, or admin pockets.

Vertical laser-cut MOLLE slots on the chest

Specifically placed slots allow for the mounting of push-to-talk systems and clean cable management for communication equipment.

Multi-sided MOLLE areas

MOLLE areas on the front, sides, and bottom provide additional attachment options for pouches or accessories.

Modular front panel

The included triple-mag placard provides a flexible platform for accommodating various magazine types and additional equipment. The placard can be adjusted in height to ensure optimal positioning for different body sizes and equipment configurations. Integrated openings allow the use of elastic securing loops for magazines. The internal inserts adapt to various magazine types and accommodate a wide range of calibers and platforms.

Quick placard change with G-Hooks

The G-Hook attachment allows for quick swapping of the front panel according to mission profile.
