CRUSADER 2.0® TACTICAL PLATE CARRIER Battle-Tested. Field-Proven. Built to Keep Evolving QUICK RELEASE • LASER-CUT MOLLE • YKK® ZIPPERS • DURAFLEX® BUCKLES • 10x12 PLATE READY • MAG PLACARD INCLUDED The Redemption Tactical® CRUSADER 2.0® V4 is the latest evolution of our original plate carrier design—developed with input from experienced veterans and continually refined through feedback from military, law-enforcement, and tactical users in the field. The Crusader platform has been put to work in demanding real-world environments, including use by personnel in Ukraine during the ongoing war, as well as by law-enforcement officers, military personnel, and other professional users throughout the US. That real-world feedback has helped us continually improve our Crusader 2.0® durability, comfort, fit, and functionality. Built for durability, mobility, and rapid access, the Crusader 2.0 combines Mil-Spec materials, YKK® zippers, Duraflex® buckles, laser-cut MOLLE, integrated storage, and a rapid-release system into a streamlined, mission-ready platform. RAPID-RELEASE SYSTEM Quick-release buckles are located at both the shoulders and waist, allowing the carrier to be removed rapidly when needed—particularly useful for emergency medical access, rapid gear removal, or quickly getting out of the carrier. PREMIUM MATERIALS & HARDWARE We don't believe critical gear is the place to cut corners. The Crusader 2.0® is constructed using rugged Mil-Spec fabric and premium components, including: YKK® zippers Duraflex® buckles Laser-cut MOLLE attachment system Reinforced plate compartments Breathable interior mesh padding The laser-cut MOLLE system provides a clean, low-profile platform for mounting additional pouches and mission-specific equipment while keeping gear tight against the carrier. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED TRIPLE DOUBLE-STACK MAG POUCH — INCLUDED The removable front placard provides storage for: 3 AR-style rifle magazines + 3 pistol magazines The placard attaches directly to the front of the carrier using the integrated buckle system, making it easy to configure or replace depending on your loadout. SIDE CUMMERBUND WITH SIDE-PLATE POCKETS The adjustable cummerbund includes integrated side-plate pockets designed to accommodate 6x6 or 6x8 side plates. A secure hook-and-loop closure helps keep the cummerbund firmly positioned while allowing adjustment for different body sizes and equipment configurations. INTEGRATED ZIPPERED ADMIN POUCH A streamlined zippered admin compartment is built directly into the carrier, providing convenient storage for smaller mission-essential items without requiring another bulky external pouch. BREATHABLE ANTI-SWEAT MESH PADDING Integrated black mesh pads create separation between the carrier and your body to improve airflow and help distribute the load more comfortably during extended wear.

BATTLE-TESTED & FIELD-PROVEN The Crusader 2.0® isn't a carrier designed only on paper.

Feedback from users operating in demanding environments has directly contributed to the evolution of the Crusader platform and helped us improve its materials, configuration, comfort, durability, and functionality.
