Configuring the cummerbund on your plate carrier often requires choosing between structure and torso comfort. Unsupported side cummerbund pouches can collapse under the weight of attached MOLLE pouches, while rigid hard plates can dig into your ribs and hips during dynamic movement.

The PTS Dummy Side Plate 6" x 6" set provides a lightweight solution tailored for airsoft and tactical simulation setups. Constructed with a resilient nylon exterior and a flexible foam inner core, these soft side inserts offer cushioning and structure without restricted mobility. Measuring approximately 6" x 6" x 1", they fit cleanly into standard side plate cummerbund pockets. Weighing only ~54g for the complete pair, they maintain your plate carrier's low-profile aesthetic while prioritizing shooter comfort.

Key Features

• Nylon Exterior with Foam Cushioning: Combines a wear-resistant nylon outer skin with a flexible foam core for comfortable shock absorption and long-term durability.
• Standard 6" x 6" Form Factor: Sized at approximately 6" x 6" x 1" to fit standard 6x6 cummerbund side plate pouches.
• Ultra-Lightweight (~54g Pair): Adds minimal bulk and weight to your gear, avoiding torso fatigue during extended field use.
• Complete Left & Right Set: Comes as a ready-to-use pair containing both left and right side inserts.
• Maintains Vest Structure: Fills out side cummerbund pockets to prevent sagging when mounting side radio pouches or extra mag carriers.
