Platatac Peacekeeper Mk5
By Platatac
Description
The Peacekeeper MK5 (PK5) is the latest iteration in the Platatac family of of Chicom-compatible fixed chest rigs.
A PALS field either side of the mag pouches allows the user to attach additional magazine, grenade, radio, or first aid pouches. Below the magazine pouches is a long zippered pouch for other mission essentials, such as additional first aid items or dems gear. Sewn to the bottom of this pouch are webbing loops to attach either of two elastic inserts (included), one holds SOF or CAT TQ and the other can hold two 4" or 6" cyalume, having either one readily accessible when required.
At the extreme ends of the PK5 are two medium zippered accessory pouches with additional clip closure. These pouches will hold a water bottle such as the Platatac 1 Litre flask or a 1 Litre Nalgene, or utilising the internal open-top mesh pouch with bungee retention, a single ANPRC 152 radio can be carried when utilizing the 19mm clip to close the pouch. A small zippered pocket on the front of each pouch is perfect for smaller items like cam kits, gloves etc. 2 x Rows x 2 Columns of external PALS on either side of each pouch allow you to attach smaller MOLLE compatible pouches such as grenade pouches.
Against the body centrally is an velcro closure mesh pocket. A long zip can be inserted into this pouch to make it zippered admin pocket. Either side of this is a Tweave 4 way stretch pocket that can be used to hold additional mags, radio, a map, notebook, GRG or marker panel.
The Velcro sandwich area between the back mesh and under the pouches has been enlarged, to allow better integration of our ASAD range of velcro in sub load pouches.
Included with the PK5 are two harness options - the standard Chicom low pro adjustable X-Harness shoulder straps and the Chicom LW H-Harness, which provides a lightweight general-purpose alternative to the low pro straps. Both are flat-sewn, and designed to remain as flat as possible for use with packs and other harness systems. A range of other harness options is available to boost carrying capacity.

Many thanks to the Platatac team for a very cool chest rig
Peacekeeper MK 5 and additional
goodies for him!!! Very, very cool chest rig!!!! Glad I found your product...
Once again, Thank you very much!!!
Has become my go-to load bearing solution. Holds everything I need and can be scaled up or down depending on what I'm doing. You can plus the rig up to 10-12 magazines using the side PALS panels pretty easily (spiritus spud pouches go well here), and if you need less than six, just download the existing pouches. The small pouches on the water bottle bottle pockets are perfect for 5.56 on chargers, and the small abdominal pouch hold a strip lula, a tube of lubricant, and a multi-tool. Makes topping up magazines between stages very convenient. I am hoping to pick up the ASAD dangler pouch in the future so I can relocate my medical supplies.
The Peacekeeper Mk5 is the best rifle-based chest rig on the market today. The layout and storage space allows for the essentials and the small PALs panels allow for enough customization to cover a wide range of missions.
Best chest rig you can buy. The molle spaces beside the mag pouches are perfect for pistol mag pouches or grenade pouches. It holds 6 mags. I use The big pockets for water and my veg kit, and the lower pocket for a tourniquet. It came with 2 harnesses for the back as well
So far, fantastic. Holds up well and is fairly modular. The only thing I would have personally liked to have is a 3rd row of molle to accommodate certain pouches ive used for years during operations. Other than that its incredible.
very good product, i just wish there wasnt all of that strap length
