The vest is worth its price, although I haven't tested it in practice yet. It is made from high-quality materials, which is immediately noticeable. It is also relatively lightweight. I chose it because of the foam and Coolmax fabric. I also purchased ventilated ASPC plates for better ventilation and increased rigidity. The next planned upgrade is to buy the ROC Ballistic Cummerbund GEN4 ballistic belt with foam inserts – something that the CPC-ROC 4.1 model from Templars Gear doesn't have. The current price is very attractive, so it's worth buying this vest and upgrading it gradually, which is more economical than immediately buying the CPC-ROC 4.1 Templars Gear. One downside is the lack of an option to install quick-release buckles on the shoulder straps, but with the aforementioned ballistic belt, this isn’t really necessary. An additional advantage is the possibility to attach a backpack using the flatpack h1 and h2 zipper system.
Templar's Gear Crusader Plate Carrier Low Profile Gen. 4.1 Tactical Vest - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
The modular tactical vest is constructed from tough and abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura. This material is treated with IRR (Infrared Reflective Treatment) to prevent detection by night vision devices (residual light amplifiers).
This Plate Carrier comprises two panels (front and rear), a cummerbund belt, and adjustable suspenders. Laser-cut openings on the vest's front are compatible with the MOLLE/PALS system, allowing for the addition of extra pouches and accessories as per the user's needs. It can accommodate hard ballistic inserts of the SAPI type measuring 30 x 25 cm. The Velcro-adjustable suspenders and cummerbund belt enable easy customization to the user's physique. There are adjustable loops on both sides for routing radio cables or hydration system tubes.
The vest features broad Velcro panels for attaching various patches or emblems, such as national flags, unit emblems, or Morale Patches, to customize the vest. A small zipper-closed pocket on the front panel is available for storing small accessories. Composite fastex buckles allow for additional gear attachment or securing carried pouches.
Located on the shoulders, the comfort pads lined with mesh help distribute the vest's weight evenly and ensure sufficient ventilation. The vest's back is equipped with zippers for attaching dedicated MOLLE panels or a backpack.

Camouflage wz.93 "Pantera"
The wz.93 "Pantera" camouflage pattern is currently used by the Polish Armed Forces. It was the first camouflage pattern designed and introduced into widespread use in the Third Polish Repubic. The 1993 pattern combines mimetic and deforming properties through the use of irregular spots of various sizes. The color scheme, based on green, brown, and black, has been adapted to the conditions of Polish forests, making "Pantera" a good choice for operations in the native terrain. Uniforms in this camouflage pattern are also part of the basic equipment for students of Military Uniform Classes.
MILITARY is a premium dealer of Templar's Gear.
Templar’s Gear is a Polish brand that was established in 2015 on the initiative of tactical gear enthusiasts who set themselves the goal of creating accouterment that is lighter, more durable, and better adapted to the real needs of users than the solutions available up to that point. By implementing modern technologies such as precise laser cutting and the use of laminated textile materials, the company quickly established its position as one of the leading manufacturers in Europe in this category. The Templar’s Gear range includes, among others, tactical vests, belts, pouches, and backpacks — all designed for maximum functionality and reliability in demanding conditions. An important achievement for the brand was the approval of selected products by the Ministry of National Defence and the assignment of JIM numbers to them, which means full compliance with the standards in force in the Polish Armed Forces. This type of certification not only confirms the high quality of the gear, but also shows that domestic tactical solutions successfully compete with recognized global brands. The decision of the Ministry of National Defence is part of the broader modernization program "Operacja Szpej," opening the way for more Polish manufacturers to take part in the modernization of the national armed forces.
