Spiritus Systems is known for developing and crafting high-quality plate carriers, chest rigs, and accessories trusted by both military and law enforcement agencies. But even proven gear can be improved, and Spiritus has gone back to the drawing board to create the MOLLE Back Panel MK 2.
What We Need to Know
The Spiritus Systems MOLLE Back Panel MK 2 is designed as a modular load-carrying system that can be integrated into the LV-120 PC or any other UCAS-compatible plate carrier, such as the Ferro Concepts FCPC V5.
Spiritus specifically designed the back panel for sustainment, entry, and breaching loadouts, providing the user with optimal performance and adaptability for their mission.
The Details
From the Spiritus Systems website
- Customizable Depth & Extension Tail: The panel features an 8-inch drop-down tail that can be stowed internally to leave the pocket open for long objects or rolled up using the included locking hooks to set custom depth limits for shorter items, such as breaching charges.
- Selectable Pass-Through Tabs: Three independent fold-back tabs allow tools of varying lengths to be carried simultaneously. Longer gear can pass through while shorter items remain elevated at an ideal retrieval height.
- Dual-Channel Isolation: A center-slot design paired with directional snap straps allows the internal cavity to be divided into two separate vertical channels, preventing charges or breaching tools from shifting or clashing.
- Water Bladder & Large Gear Compatibility: The internal dividers can be bypassed by routing behind the thermoplastic stiffener board, transforming the panel into one large compartment capable of housing hydration bladders.
- Side Eyelet Retention: Side routing holes paired with 1/8-inch shock cord and cord locks provide adjustable tension for securing charges internally, while external tie-downs can be used for tubular nylon, signal flags, or additional pouches.
- Heavy Tool Retainer System: The panel utilizes 3/16-inch shock cord and a rigid pull-tab assembly to firmly secure large tools, such as Halligan bars and Hoolies, to the side of the panel. This helps prevent slap while keeping the tools easy to deploy under stress.

The Bottom Line
Spiritus Systems continues to critique its products, listen to end-user feedback, and refine its gear. This process ultimately creates a better product for the end user by adding more functionality and operational utility.
That philosophy is what led to the creation of the MOLLE Back Panel MK 2. Its customization allows for more efficient loadout configurations and easier deployment of key gear when efficiency matters.
