PIG Brigandine Plate Carrier (ESAPI/BAE IV), Pre-Production Model
"Brigandine" is the word for medieval armor consisting of armor plates attached to a cloth shirt. The PIG Brigandine is today's version of just that- a low profile way to carry just your plates directly over your shirt or soft body armor. The "Brig" is the first low-profile plate carrier we are offering for under $100.
Unlike some of other low profile plate carriers, the Brig is designed with the straps attaching at a lower point than the top of the plate (like the PIG PC), allowing for a higher plate placement than it's competitors. The integral elastic straps allow for maximum comfort and expansion during heavy activity, and allows for the use of PIG side plate carriers for the PIG PC elastic cummerbund. The front and back plate assemblies on the PIG Brig are ordered separately, allowing you to mix and match different size front and back plates.
The plates are a shoehorn fit, and each Brig model is designed around a specific plate contour. The "BAE IV" plate contour will fit our BAE NIJ IV plate or ESAPI plates with a thin soft armor backer of the same shape. Other plate shapes will be offered in the future. This pre-production model comes complete with all the accoutrements for accessories we will be introducing in the future, to include afc (air flow & comfort) pontoons, shoulder pads, and a series of integrated chest rigs.
As with all PIG tactical nylon products, the Brig is Made in the USA.
