LT025/V A1—The Workhorse REBORN
The LT025/V is a releasable plate carrier we introduced in 2014. Now considered a genuine classic, this mission-reliable plate carrier has been updated for even better performance in the field. Like the original, this new version is made of 500-denier CORDURA® fabric and continues to offer standout popular features including pull-cable full-release dismount capability, separate soft- and hard-armour pockets, releasable front flap, and an option for side-inserted soft ballistics.
We made sure to preserve those classic features in the new A1 version because users of the previous-generation LT025/V have over the course of this past decade proven that the existing set-up was a good one. Still, we felt that a few improvements were necessary to make this impressive gear work better for you on missions.
But if you are also curious to try out something new don’t worry—the new A1 version easily converts to the new A2 configuration just by getting Upgrade Kit Plate Carrier Set LT025/V-A2-ZUB (sold separately) and swapping the A1’s supplied waistbelt for the Upgrade Kit’s skeletonised waistbelt and the back part for the A2 back part with zip options.
It’s the details that matter
The Plate Carrier Releasable LT025/V A1 meets Lindnerhof’s newly enhanced processing standards covering all aspects of product design, manufacture, and processing. Those standards, by the way, were shaped to a significant extent by the continual feedback we received over the years from users—as a result, for example, we were able to identify an issue involving rapid wearing out of the waistbelt elastic band; the new standards compelled us to abandon that previous type of elastic and utilise in its place one that is longer-lasting.
All about comfort & modularity
The A1 version gives you more control over comfort by letting you choose where to put the padding—front, back, or both (previously, you could add padding to only the back)!
2 release options
A key feature of the LT025/V that we kept as part of the new A1 version is the cable-pull release.
This gives you two dismount/release options:
Option 1—pull the cable on the shoulder strap for a full drop (you pick which side you want as your drop set-up)
Option 2—pull the cable at the bottom rear for a waistbelt-only drop (use this option if you need to immediately perform casualty care or conduct a checkup but want to avoid exposing yourself to greater risk that comes with having to take off your plates and attached equipment)
