Tactical gear maker Condor Outdoor Products (COP) recently showed DefenseReview (DR) a Condor Sentry tactical armor plate carrier prototype in Crye Precision MultiCam camouflage pattern at SHOT Show 2014. Condor executive Henry Ko was kind enough to take us through some of the features of the Condor Sentry Lightweight Plate Carrier prototype, even though it’s still undergoing development and won’t be available until later in the year, around June or July (2014). The Sentry is a lightweight minimalist/lo-pro/lo-vis (low profile/low-visibility) plate carrier that sports fast-adjustable shoulder and side straps. The shoulder pads are fairly wide to maximize comfort, and the adjustment system is an easy and quick sliding system that’s secured with velcro. There are also two velcro loops for a tactical hydration tube or antennae. Tactical hydration can be mounted on the back of the vest via MOLLE attachment, below the nice big drag handle.

According to the Condor Out Door Products Facebook page, “the Sentry features emergency drag handles, quick adjust padded shoulder straps, hook and loop webbing panels and tube guides, quick release buckles with cinch adjustments, and the ability to hold M/L ESAPI plates,” but we’d recommend you check out the video DR shot, here:
