Deadly Customs MFCR™ Harness only
This is for the harness only if you want the full rig click here
The Deadly Customs MFCR™ Harness Only delivers the core of the Modular Fortis Chest Rig as a standalone harness: a purpose-built platform that lets professionals configure mission-specific placards and loadouts without carrying extraneous bulk. Engineered from first principles for operators, close protection, police, and specialist teams, the MFCR™ harness blends a low-profile, covert silhouette with the structural integrity of a mission-capable placard system. Choose the Deadly Customs MFCR™ Harness only option when you want the flexibility to build your own front placard, swap MFP™ modules, or integrate the harness into an existing plate carrier without purchasing the full rig.
This Deadly Customs MFCR™ Harness only is designed to be the backbone of multiple kit configurations — covert or overt — and excels whether it is used under an overshirt, layered over soft armour, or combined with hard plates for high-threat deployments.
What’s Included (Harness Only)
-
MFCR™ Main H-harness and pre-fitted hardware
-
Rear strap and hardened webbing hardware for split-connections
-
Factory-tested fit and retention points (ready for MFP™ or third-party placards)
Note: The harness-only purchase does not include the Modular Front Placard (MFP™) or retention flaps — order those separately to complete a full rig or customise your loadout.
Design Intent — Built Around Operator Needs
The MFCR™ harness was created to answer the modern operator’s requirement for adaptability without compromise. Contemporary missions demand rapid role changes: entry, surveillance, protection, or extraction. The harness-only option recognises that operators often already own placards, specialised pouches, or vehicle mounts and therefore need a robust harness that interfaces cleanly with existing systems.
Key design goals:
-
Provide a structurally stable mounting platform without excess weight.
-
Offer multiple cable routing and concealment options to support comms and NVG solutions.
-
Maintain a sleek profile for covert applications while retaining full compatibility with overt mission placards.
-
Eliminate pressure points and hardware contact where personnel may be seated or leaning for extended periods.
Materials & Construction — Two-Layer Squadron Laminate Core
At the heart of the MFCR™ harness is a dual-layer laser-cut Squadron Laminate chassis. This laminated construct is selected for its exceptional tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability. Compared to single-layer textile rigs, the dual laminate platform resists sag under load and preserves consistent alignment for magazines, radios, and mission-critical tools.
Construction highlights:
-
Laser-cut precision: Every slot, ladder, and pass-through is cut to exact tolerances, ensuring repeatable, tight interface with single-column MOLLE accessories and placard attachments.
-
Bonded layers: Two bonded laminate layers produce a stiffer, flatter mounting surface that reduces wobble and improves load distribution.
-
Reinforced stitching & bar-tacking: Where webbing and straps meet laminate, stress points receive additional reinforcement for long-term durability.
-
Low-bulk finishing: Edges are finished to remove roughness while maintaining a minimal profile for concealment.
This materials choice allows the harness to act as an engineered placard backbone without the weight, heat retention, or bulk associated with full soft-armor front panels.
Front Strap System — MOLLE Ladder & Tie-Downs
The MFCR™ harness features a forward-facing strap architecture designed for repeatable, secure accessory mounting. The harness implements a MOLLE ladder on the front shoulder straps which accepts single-column attachments, admin pouches, and slim utility modules.
Functional benefits:
-
Single-column adaptability: Run radio pouches, tourniquet holders, CPTs or admin modules directly on the strap — no extra adaptor required.
-
Integrated tie-down points: Strategically placed tie-downs permit users to lash PTT leads, tourniquets, or small tools with paracord or shock cord, preventing hardware swing during movement.
-
Low-profile routing: The ladder geometry reduces printing and keeps attachments close to the body, improving concealability and reducing snag risk.
These subtle additions let the operator decide whether to keep a minimalist footprint or scale up to a fully missionised configuration in seconds.
Cable Management & Streamlining — Two Routing Options
One of the MFCR™ harness’s most operator-valued features is its cable management architecture. Communication equipment and hydration systems are mission-critical; poor cable routing creates snags, noise and user frustration. The harness addresses this with two complementary routing systems:
-
External horizontal pass-through channels — Two sets of channels on the harness allow for one-wrap, shock cord, or cable ties to be used externally. This is ideal for operators who require rapid access to PTT leads, coiled mic cables or external hydration tube clips. The channels hold cords in place while remaining serviceable and easily adjustable.
-
Hollow strap internal routing — The straps themselves are hollowed to allow discreet feeding of wires or tubes within the harness body. Internal routing eliminates external snag hazards and creates the cleanest possible silhouette for covert operations or vehicle use.
This dual-option system gives teams the freedom to adopt unit SOPs or personal preference — keep cables accessible for fast maintenance or totally concealed to avoid compromise.
Comfort & Ergonomics — Tapered Straps & Concealed Hardware
The MFCR™ harness prioritises long-wear comfort. Field operators often wear their harnesses for hours; comfort features are therefore designed to reduce fatigue and eliminate pressure hotspots.
Key ergonomic elements:
-
Tapered shoulder straps: The straps reduce bulk as they pass over the shoulders, improving articulation and reducing printing under jackets. This taper also allows better movement for shooting and weapon manipulation.
-
Concealed top buckles: The top two buckles are housed inside the harness body to prevent digging into the user when seated or when in contact with vehicle seats and armour interfaces.
-
Rear loop Velcro panel: A colour-matched loop field on the harness rear provides a low-profile platform for ID panels, morale patches or small accessory placement without adding extra volume.
-
Colour-matched webbing strip on the lower strap: Weight-saving and print-reduction are key for covert roles — the bottom strap uses a thinner, colour-matched webbing strip to further reduce visual signature.
These refinements combine to produce a harness that can be worn for extended periods without creating the common hotspots and discomfort found on older rigs.
Rear Padding System — Protecting Operator Comfort
The harness includes a dedicated rear padded cover designed to protect the wearer from abrasive hook Velcro and to add an additional layer of comfort. This soft-backed pad sits between the user and any exposed hook material when the rig is worn in a minimalist configuration and provides shock-attenuating benefits while seated or moving across rough terrain.
Benefits:
-
Prevents abrasions from exposed hook fields.
-
Adds a cushioning layer for vehicle operations and long-duration wear.
-
Maintains breathability while adding comfort; padding is low-profile to avoid adding bulk.
Colourways & Finish — Operationally Proven Options
MFCR™ harnesses are produced using 1500D Squadron Cordura® outer fabrics and are available in operationally vetted colours that support multi-theatre deployment and concealment.
Available finishes:
-
MultiCam®
-
MultiCam Black™
-
MultiCam Tropic™
-
Ranger Green
-
Black
-
Coyote Brown
Each colour option is selected for UV stability, abrasion resistance, and long-term colourfastness. The finishes are applied to survive laundering, exposure to inks and oils, and heavy field use — retaining a professional appearance without sacrificing function.
Integration & Compatibility — Works With Your Kit
The MFCR™ harness is intentionally built for broad interoperability. It mounts and interfaces cleanly with:
-
Modular Front Placards (MFP™) from Deadly Customs and many single-column placards.
-
Plate carriers: Can be worn over or integrated beneath soft or hard armour depending on mission configuration.
-
Chest rigs and covert carriers: Low-profile straps and concealed hardware make the harness suitable for concealment under jackets and overshirts.
-
Retention accessories: Tie-downs and pass-throughs are ideal for PTTs, tourniquets, NVG cabling and hydration routing.
This versatility reduces the need to purchase entirely new systems when changing mission sets — the harness is the common interface between existing kit and newly acquired placards.
Maintenance & Care — Keep It Operational
Maintaining the MFCR™ harness is straightforward and requires minimal downtime:
-
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent; avoid solvents that degrade adhesives.
-
Drying: Air dry away from direct heat; do not tumble dry.
-
Inspection: Periodically check laser-cut edges and bar-tacks for wear; replace stressed hardware as necessary.
-
Storage: Store hung or flat in a cool, dry place to retain shape and avoid creasing.
With responsible care, the harness will deliver years of dependable service in demanding operational cycles.
