Crye Precision AirLite® SPC™

Lightweight Doesn’t Mean Weak...
It Means You Move Smarter

The Crye Precision AIRLITE SPC (Structural Plate Carrier) brings you the best of both worlds: the ultra-mobile feel of the JPC™, combined with the load-bearing strength of the AVS™ and CPC™. At just over one pound total weight(yes, for real), this carrier is built to dominate any environment, maritime included.

Made from Crye’s patented AIRLITE™ material, this thing is tough, water-shedding, and barely there when you're on the move. Pair it with the AIRLITE Structural Cummerbund (sold separately) and now you're running pouches inside and out. Still need more support? Hook up the Extendable STKSS™ system to take the load off your shoulders and spine, so you can stay in the fight longer.

With 3D mesh panels for next-level airflow, zip-on panel compatibility, groin protection attachment points, chest rig loops, and a quick-doff system that’s ready when things go sideways- the AIRLITE SPC is the minimalist’s plate carrier with a maxed-out feature set.

Heads up: You’ll need to grab the front flap and cummerbund separately. Hit the "related items" below to complete your setup.
