REVIEW: NOVRITSCH Breathable ASPC 1.0

An Airsoft Plate Carrier? Yes, can they have that ... They just want to play. - Yes, of course they do. And the airsoft scene is also an important factor for the "Real Steel" scene, because who else buys such exclusive clothing items like plate carriers and other military equipment for expensive money and also likes to rotate them. Well, the empire strikes back and this is the world's first Airsoft Plate Carrier that comes from the stable of the Austrian player channel NOVRITSCH. We'll show you what this piece can do.

First look from the front, looks like a plate carrier, is one. This model is in the "Kreuzotter" camouflage pattern, which also comes from the house of NOVRITSCH - HERE we introduced the cool uniform in the G3 cut.

This is the diagram of the system. Just as professionally planned as implemented, NOVRITSCH has its own textile department - here on Instagram - where Dag leads the way with military experience and proper textile training and creates exciting things. Very impressive work, there is more to come.

Our carrier set up. Doesn't look much different from others. Very light material. No NIR function, like many others. Infrared camouflage is not the theme when playing.

Let's start with the shoulders: They are as they should be, well padded.

For those who don't like padding, there is a simple strap inside that connects the front and back plate pockets.

Mesh on the underside ensures ventilation. The shoulder pads guarantee comfort, NOVRITSCH wants to spoil you.

Shoulder from the front. There are quick releases on the right and left. Super comfortable for getting in and out.

Upper half has Velcro, needed for patches. Otherwise MOLLE and a very unique, airy cut. Why do we keep thinking of BMW all the time?

Lower front half also has MOLLE with Velcro. You can weave in pockets there or wait for the MOLLE panel that can be attached with pockets.

Because that's what the two buckles hanging there are for.

Also two quick-release closures on the sides. Also useful for quick drop.

We hadn't known this model before. It works magnetically and it works great. A toy? Not quite, this quick-release is also used by the Hong Kong Police.

On the side, we see a full Kumberbund and admire the cool Viper pattern.

The ASPC from behind. Less Velcro, but more cord.

Here we start with the shoulders. Looking at the padding, you can see the thickness of the plate pocket. By the way, with a slot, you can also put in hydration.

What catches our eye is the bungee cord. Practical for carrying a jacket or securing other light stuff on the back.

Simply MOLLE underneath. You can also clip on a storm pack.

Under the back flap hides the mounting system of the Kumberbund. And that is extremely well done. That's attention to detail.

Let's take a look inside the plate carrier, it looks airy in there as well. Here we already have it lined.

The tag inside bears the name of the manufacturer and world-famous player.

Looking at the inside. Everything is almost the same as the outside, with the material doubled for added value.

There they are. The plates from NOVRITSCH. We'll tell you something: they don't stop bullets. So you can't play Emperor's new SAPIs with them. But that's not the purpose of dummy plates. They are supposed to be lightweight and airy, and keep the carrier stable in shape.

And on the inside, they are also nice and soft. The NOVRITSCH really wants to make you soft.

This is what it looks like when you hold it up to your face. We think this is an exceptionally great idea after many dummy plates that want to be heavy like real ones or simply sweat pads. By the way: SAPI M size. If you don't always want to or need to carry real heavy plates...

Looking through the carrier, you can see how porous it is. It's a little airhead. It's sufficient for players.

Pockets are also added, nicely done, but we'll introduce them separately.

CONCLUSION: NOVRITSCH Breathable ASPC 1.0 is a revolutionary design for a target group. Finally, they don't have to pretend to be real and run around with unnecessarily heavy plates. Cool design with well-executed, concrete ideas. And also very useful as a stable equipment carrier beyond the playing field. HERE you can find more information and a video directly from NOVRITSCH.

You can get the NOVRITSCH Breathable ASPC 1.0 for 169 euros directly from NOVRITSCH. Color options include Cross Viper, Green, Black, Coyote, and two patterns reminiscent of Multicam and Multicam Tropic.
