Templar's Gear Koursores Soft Armor Vest with ROC Attachment, M05 (KSAV)

It’s been a long time coming – the M05

Tradesoft is proud to present the fruits of co-operation with Templar’s Gear: tactical combat gear with the Finnish M05 camouflage! The aim of this co-operation is to fill a torso-sized hole in the Finnish gear market: before this, it was not possible to have a full combat gear set available with the domestic M05 pattern.

We had contemplated on acquiring M05 combat gear before, but had not found a suitable manufacturer before Templar’s Gear. The actual idea of this project was born in the fall of 2017 when the first Templar’s Gear products landed at our headquarters. After finding a suitable friend and partner in Poland, it was obvious that we had to present this gift to the airsoft/reserve forces/military/defence forces/SRA shooting communities and everyone interested in the Finnish camouflage pattern.

Materials & manufacturing

The Templar’s Gear M05 products are manufactured from the Finnish Foxa 500 denier Foxdura fabric by using laser cut technology, which enabled us to reduce the weight of the gear without compromising reliability. The material meets the Finnish Defence Forces' requirements for IRR protection and the other materials are also IRR treated. This means that the products can be safely used even in situations where you need to be hidden in the IR spectrum!

The laser cut PALS webbings are also extremely durable, because they don’t have stitches which are prone to wear and tear. Special attention has been paid to quality control in Templar’s pouches and gear, because a significant portion of the company’s customers are officials, whose safety and well-being might depend on the gear.

Conscription in Finnish military

Well, since someone’s going to ask anyway, let’s answer: we do not know if this gear can be used when you are in general conscription. If you want to be polite, you can ask your officer, if it’s okay to use your own gear. However, it’s usually easier to apologize later than to get permission. If necessary, we recommend you demonstrate the features of the gear, for example in the IR spectrum, where you can clearly prove that this gear has been made for military use and is not some Chinese knock-off.

Cooperation - Yhteistyö - Współpraca

Templar's Gear products are delivered to us straight from the factory in Poland. This means that our product selection is updated to the latest and greatest generation almost in real time as replenishments are ordered. Thanks to the close cooperation and our frequent orders, we also have a chance to forward feedback and new ideas to the respective designers. If you as a user have any ideas for product development, we are happy to share them with Templar's Gear.

Extended two-year warranty

Templar’s Gear products are granted a two-year warranty. In more concrete manner this means for example products sold on this spring will have warranty for two action packed seasons of airsoft, shooting or whatever you do with them.

Warranty covers all problems that should arise from defective materials or poor craftsmanship. Carelessness or misuse voids the warranty.

Sizing:

There is some play with the measurements because the cummerbund’s elastic part stretches. The plates used in the measurements are about 0.49 cm thick. Plates that are of different thickness will affect the fit. We recommend using plates, as the plate bags are sewn in a way that they bag a little when empty. If your waist is wider than your chest, then we recommend using the waist measure. You can make the vest bigger with a separate cummerbund, but take into account that CPC and TPC cummerbunds have no ballistic plate pockets!

Front plate bag, without shoulder straps:

Length	Width at waist	Width at top

Back plate bag, without shoulder straps:

Side plate pockets:

Chest circumference:

Note! With waist circumference 120 cm or above, side plates won't overlap with back plate.

Leikkaus, ergonomia ja suojapinta-ala

Ballistisen levyn valinta on käytännössä aina hyöty-kustannuslaskentaa muutaman tekijän välillä: paino vs. suojaustaso vs. pinta-ala ja paino eli liikkuvuus. Samaan kategoriaan voisi myös mainita levyn paksuuden, mutta käytännössä vaihteluväli on hyvin pieni, joten tässä taulukossa sitä ei ole huomioitu. Lisäksi kaikkien valmistajien levyt eivät ole aidosti reunasta reunaan suojattuja, eli eri valmistajien samankokoisissa levyissä saattaa olla eroja todellisessa suojapinta-alassa. Protection Group Danmarkin kaikki levyt ovat aidosti reunasta reunaan suojattuja.

Taulukossa ei ole myöskään huomioitu levyn kaarteiden määrää: lähtökohtaisesti multicurved on aina mukavampi kuin singlecurved, mutta tämä on enemmän ergonomiakysymys. Tässä taulukossa ei ole myöskään huomioitu kovien levyjen kokovaihtoehtoja (25x30cm; SAPI S, M, L, XL), sillä ne skaalautuvat toisiinsa nähden saumattomasti.

Suosittelemme ensin valitsemaan suojaustason (ks. ylempi taulukko), jonka vähintään tarvitset ja sitten valitsemaan tämän taulukon avulla omaan käyttötarpeeseesi sopivimman pinta-alan, joka tarjoaa sen verran liikkuvuutta kuin käyttöympäristösi vaatii. Lopuksi levyjen ergonomia, paino ja paksuus määräytyy pitkälti lompakkosi mukaan.

Leikkaus	Suojapinta-ala	Liikkuvuus
Swimmer/Shooter	SAPIa hiukan pienempi, korkeintaan NIJ IV.	Paras
SAPI	Tärkeimmät sisäelimet, korkeintaan NIJ IV.	Hyvä
Koursores/Cataphract Pehmeät suojat, vain keho	Keskivartalo, korkeintaan NIJ IIIA.	Hyvähkö
Koursores/Cataphract Pehmeät suojat	Keskivartalo, niska ja hartiat, korkeintaan NIJ IIIA.	Kohtalainen
Cataphract Koko setti	Tärkeimmät sisäelimet, korkeintaan NIJ IV + keskivartalo, niska ja hartiat, korkeintaan NIJ IIIA.	Heikoin
