The CIRAS vest (Coyote Interceptor Reconnaissance/Assault System) is a modular plate carrier of British origin, appreciated for its comprehensive MOLLE system and removable plate bags. This guide details its features and how it compares to other formats on the market.
Our Tactical CIRAS Vest
Our Tactical Airsoft CIRAS Vest (€48.99) is a modular plate carrier made of 600D Oxford with a full MOLLE system and removable front/rear plate bags, available in Tan, Army Green, Multicam, and Black.
What distinguishes the CIRAS
Unlike a minimalist JPC, the CIRAS maintains a more enveloping structure with removable plate bags that allow the dummy armor to be removed for lighter use without changing vests. It's a good compromise between a full plate carrier (K19 type) and an ultra-light format.
