Description
The Cummerbund Kit from Armored Republic integrates seamlessly with plate carriers that have a flap pocket on the backside and Velcro on the front. The kit consists of two components: the front admin flap and the cummerbund itself.
The front flap is optional and only needed for carriers that do not have a cummerbund flap. For carriers that have a cummerbund flap, the cummerbund is the only needed item.
The cummerbund kit can work with most other plate carriers on the market. (Excluding the Armored Republic Concealment and Compact carriers)
Size:
22″ X 5″ X .25″ Per half (x2)
- With the included length of shock cord lashing, the cummerbund will reach a maximum 51″ in OAL circumference, but can be sized down to Small when the lashing is moved inward towards the MOLLE columns.
- With different lengths of shock cord (purchased separately) the two halves can be made much longer or shorter depending on the users needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is a cummerbund necessary to have on a plate carrier? No, but a cummerbund can be helpful to have if you’re wanting a more comfortable or secure fit, extra side protection, and extra storage. Depending on your individual needs, using a cummerbund may be more practical or preferable to using a dedicated side buckle type carrier.
- What is a cummerbund on a plate carrier? A cummerbund gets its name from the tuxedo accessory- by the same name. However, unlike this accessory, a cummerbund is a stabilization band that helps keep your plate carriers armor concentric to your vital organs. In addition to this, they may also allow the mounting of side armor and external MOLLE-type pouches. Most cummerbunds are adjusted on the back side of the plate carrier. These adjustments ultimately determine how well your carrier fits to your body so make sure your carrier’s cummerbund is adjusted properly.
