Deadly Customs Side Armor Bags
The Deadly Customs Side Armour Plate Bags are designed to provide additional ballistic protection while maintaining the modularity and mobility expected from a modern plate carrier system. Built to integrate seamlessly with the DC1 Plate Carrier or any cummerbund featuring MOLLE / PALS compatible cells, these side plate bags offer a secure, low-profile solution for mounting side armour plates without compromising operational efficiency.
Constructed from durable 500D Cordura® laminate, the bags deliver exceptional strength, abrasion resistance, and longevity while maintaining a lightweight structure. The design ensures reliable performance in demanding environments, whether used in professional operational roles, training environments, or tactical applications where durability and functionality are critical.
Designed to accommodate 6” x 6” hard or soft armour plates, the bags provide a snug and stable fit that prevents unnecessary movement while allowing the user to maintain full freedom of movement. The streamlined design keeps bulk to a minimum while still delivering the additional side protection many operators require.
Rapid Plate Access Design
A key feature of the Deadly Customs Side Armour Bags is the large bottom-opening access system. This design allows armour plates to be inserted, removed, or replaced without the need to remove the entire plate carrier system.
An internal Velcro retention flap secures the plate in position once installed, ensuring the armour remains stable during movement while still allowing rapid access when adjustments are required.
This feature simplifies plate management in the field and reduces downtime when modifying or maintaining armour setups.
Laser-Cut MOLLE Integration
The bags attach directly to compatible cummerbunds using a field-integrated laser-cut MOLLE system, providing secure attachment and stable placement under load.
This attachment system ensures the bags remain firmly positioned during dynamic movement while allowing quick removal or repositioning if configuration changes are required.
Because the bags utilise the standard MOLLE / PALS interface, they are compatible with a wide range of modern plate carriers and tactical load-bearing systems.
Flexible Mounting Configuration
Operational requirements can vary depending on the mission profile, and the Deadly Customs Side Armour Bags are designed with this flexibility in mind.
The bags can be mounted in two orientations:
Inward-facing configuration
-
Positions the armour plate closer to the body
-
Reduces overall profile and bulk
-
Ideal for users prioritising mobility and streamlined setups
Outward-facing configuration
-
Extends armour coverage slightly outward
-
Allows greater compatibility with certain pouch setups
-
Provides adaptability for different carrier configurations
This dual mounting option allows users to tailor their equipment setup based on mission requirements, comfort preferences, or specific load-bearing configurations.
Built for Modern Plate Carrier Systems
The Side Armour Bags were designed alongside the Deadly Customs DC1 Carrier, ensuring seamless integration with the platform while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard cummerbund systems.
Their low-profile construction ensures they integrate smoothly into existing setups without interfering with other equipment such as:
-
Magazine pouches
-
Utility pouches
-
Medical kits
-
Radios and communications equipment
The result is a system that enhances ballistic coverage while preserving the modular flexibility modern operators expect.
Durable Tactical Construction
Every component of the Side Armour Plate Bags has been selected to ensure durability and reliability in demanding conditions.
The 500D Cordura laminate construction provides excellent abrasion resistance and structural strength while keeping the overall weight low. Reinforced stitching and high-quality materials ensure the bags maintain their integrity during prolonged use in harsh environments.
This combination of materials and design makes the Side Armour Bags suitable for:
-
Military and professional use
-
Tactical training environments
-
Airsoft and simulation events
-
Load-bearing equipment setups where additional side protection is required
Available Colours
To ensure full compatibility with modern camouflage systems, the Side Armour Bags are available in the same colours as the main Deadly Customs plate carrier range:
-
MultiCam®
-
MultiCam Black™
-
MultiCam Tropic™
-
Ranger Green
-
Black
-
Coyote Brown
This allows users to maintain visual uniformity across their entire carrier system while still benefiting from modular upgrades.
