Berry Compliant. Built in the USA.
he Condor Cyclone RS Plate Carrier is an upgraded evolution of the original Cyclone platform, engineered for rapid deployment, modular adaptability, and high-mobility operations. Built in the USA from Mil-Spec 500D Cordura®, it delivers a balance of durability and weight reduction for extended wear in demanding field environments.
The defining feature of the RS (Rapid System) platform is its quick-release / rapid-open connectors, allowing operators to don or doff the carrier quickly without compromising structural integrity—critical for emergency response, EOD, and high-risk operational scenarios.
