In its simplest form, the Shift 360 is a sleek plate rack armor carrier. By adding accessories such as panel inserts, outer cummerbund, yoke and lower abdomen/spine protection for a variety of configurations, officers can fully customize their armor for mission-specific requirements. In addition, accessories such as hard armor plates, ballistic belts, tactical pouches and vest support system can further complement the Shift 360’s platform.
