Top quality from back to front. Amazing work. Best purchase I could have made.

Spiritus review I came across Spiritus after watching Shake Down: Counting Coup Tactical’s Recce Kit on YouTube. https://youtu.be/NUoemDTiHvs the versatility of the kit and the way it looked used and abused but still functional. The way it made sense to see a guy with real experience talk about “why”. That sparked my journey. Then I see guys like GarandThumb and MilspecMojo all guys who are in a similar line of work that are either running the Overt kit or have for a while. I purchased the kit which was easy compared to other sites, just try Safariland, and was very pleased from day one minute one. The kit was comfortable as modular. Medium was perfect. I am 5’10” 200lbs with a 32” waist. Everything had its place but also had options. If you’re Military or LE and your department allows it I highly encourage you trying this kit. Gear of course has to work for you and I found this works for me. After running a kit for the Military I decided to run it for work as a team member of the Special Reaction Team. So I ordered another and the Spiritus Customer Service is on point, polite and professional but they’re not robots. They will listen to what you have to say and genuinely take care of their customers. A rare thing these days. This is one of many reasons why I would choose Spiritus for my tactical needs over others.

You can’t beat the price, you can’t beat the quality and you can’t find the beyond and above customer service. Spiritus can count me in as a loyal customer. The company is producing conventional and versatile equipment and i can only imagine what the future holds for the company. Thank you spiritus systems
Just purchased my second complete rig and this is definitely some of the best quality gear on the market. Always well thought out designs, extremely durable and comfortable. This most order I made was somewhat of a large one, had a small hiccup with the order but customer service was extremely fast. They fixed everything, hooked it up with some extra and the time it took to get to me wasn't even delayed much at all. Honestly, Spiritus is one of my favorite companies and they will always have my business!
In order to wear this for work I needed to size up to the XL, in order to fit my issued plates. I’ve only worn this set up for a week (I’ve worn my personal LV119 for numerous courses), and I can already tell it’s far superior to my issues carrier. It’s lighter weight, not at all bulky, and strips down everything you don’t need. Even with a fully loaded micro fight, side armor, dangler pouch, and back panel I no longer get hot spots or a sore back, even when wearing it all night for a barricaded suspect or *ahem* civil unrest.
This is my third plate carrier started out with Condor then a 5.11 PC. But the LV-119 is light years ahead of the curve. The fit and quality is amazing . I’m currently running my carrier with their Molle Velcro cummerbund and their side armor bags. My second carrier that I’m waiting to order once in stock will feature their Elastic Velcro cummerbund this will be my more high speed carrier. Allowing me to run my comms on the side. I also am waiting to order their Micro Flight expander wings for my current LV-119 to allow my to run PRC -152 conm’s. As with the side plate bags there isn’t a spot or space to attach your radio pouch to. There are a lot of companies making good Plate carriers and the quick support from the folks at Spiritus Systems put them in the lead over Crye and was one of the many reason for My purchase.
This product is amazing. It fits me perfectly and feels great. It is very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and seems to have the durability to continually do so.
Amazing material, fits plates perfectly, looks great. Comfortable, yet rugged. Can’t wait to receive the remaining pieces for attaching placards!
Really nice bag. Big fan on the way the cummerbund attaches, offers a lot of variation for different sizing. Looking forward to the back panels!
I was initially torn between the Overt and the Covert, but I am happy I went with the overt. It is low profile and a perfect match with the Overt front that I also purchased. Looking forward to the back panel to come out. Carrier is very comfortable and well made.
NOTE: The LV/119 O V E R T Rear Plate Bag requires a Front Bag and Cummerbund for proper operation.
The LV/119 SYSTEM
The LV/119 SYSTEM is a family of products that work together to give end-users the ability to scale their equipment to their current needs. The fact that this is a cohesive system means that end-users are able to mix and match accessories in most cases. For example: One could take a C O V E R T Front or Rear Plate bag and use it with an O V E R T Front and Rear Plate Bag. Users may cross pollinate cummerbunds, shoulder covers, and other parts that will be available. The SYSTEM encompasses many parts, some of which are currently available and some that are in development. These include Back Panels of various types, MOLLE cummerbunds, First Spear Tubes™ integrations, and different placards.
The LV/119 O V E R T Rear Plate bag was built for those who need a scalable vest to wear in a multitude of environments ranging from Low Visibility to Direct Action. The O V E R T shares the same profile as the C O V E R T plate bags, while possessing additional features that make it more suitable for high profile operations. The rear plate bag features full integration of our Recovery Handle™. The rear bag also features minimal MOLLE webbing and Zippers for future integrations with our Zip-on panels that will be available later this year.
Recovery Handle™ Integration.
Full integration of our Recovery Handle™.
NOTE: the Recovery Handle™ is NOT included with this product.
Back Panel Support.
The rear bag also features minimal MOLLE webbing and Zippers for integrations with our Zip-on panels. Note: The back panel integration is proprietary and will not support other brands of back panels.
Communications Cable Routing.
The Modern Warfighter and Law Enforcement Officer has a radio. To date, the majority of manufacturers have not taken end-user communications needs in to their design considerations - we endeavor to break that paradigm. The O V E R T offers open shoulders to facilitate commo cable routing inside the plate bags and over the shoulders. Cables may also be routed through the cummerbund access.
Cummerbund Attachment.
The cummerbund attachment is a proprietary system that allows for the use of all of our cummerbunds as well as allowing for a wide range of adjustment. The cummerbund attaches inside the plate bag, which is advantageous for a few reasons.
1. There is no external mounting that can get snagged or rip off when exiting vehicles in haste.
2. The design creates a smooth profile when worn underneath clothing.
3. Hook & loop is not utilized as an attachment to the rear plate bag. Hook & loop wears out over time and is a generally less-than-optimal attachment method when not supported in other ways. Hook & loop doesn't handle weight well and it sticks to everything, especially cloth seats.
4. Every front plate bag comes standard with sewn loops on the sides for attaching First Spear TUBES™ for use with our tubes cummerbund.
Plate Fitment.
The carrier was designed to fit United States Standard Issue SAPI cut plates, but it will fit other cuts as well as long as they fit within the specifications listed below. The bags were built to accommodate "thicker" plates, but they will not fit plates do not fall within the measurements listed.
Medium - 9.5" x 12.5"
Large - 10" x 13.25"
Extra Large- 11" x 14.00"
Thickness - MAXIMUM of 1.20"
