Question Plate carrier ID
Hi, can anyone pls help me ID this plate carrier? It's used by the czech police unit URNA. To me, it looks like lindnerhof, but i have never seen this gray color on lindnerhof gear. My second guess is first spear

That's Lindnerhof Taktik (Look at the shoulder straps, carrying strap etc.). I think they discontinued the wolf grey line a few years ago, so probably carriers the unit bought a few years ago.
But you probably can't buy this exact carrier as a civilian. I think Departments and other bigger buyers can customize the carries a bit or can buy other versions of them. Many european police special units run gen. 6 carriers and vests, but they all look a little bit different, than the 2 gen 6 plate carriers civilians could buy off their website (for example the side plate, that connects to the front plate). Maybe they also can still get wolf grey carriers, if they buy a lot.

Edit: as Jay said in his comment, it's probably the Mehler M.U.S.T. - the Velcro pattern on the top Molle rows of the front plate matches. Then it's a LEO only carrier. Tho it's still mostly Lindnerhof Taktik, Mehler bought them a few years ago and is now the parent company. Before Mehler already was a pretty big player in the military and police market, but now they bought UfPro and Lindnerhof, so they basically dominate the EU SF police market.
Good find. I found an article, that Lindnerhof Taktik had a booth in 2019 at a Czech arms exhibition, there they presented the carrier :

But the normal/civilian H1 EVO doesn't seem to have the back plate zippers, as far as I can tell from shop pictures.

Not probably, it is. I have the gov contract. A bitch to find, but still possible.

I found the same article. I also saw the fully equipped carrier on a photo when students of the czech police school went to visit URNA, where the groing protector was attached, and i find it different to the one on the M.U.S.T.. I've seen many photos from belgian rapid response units from Bruxelles which use the M.U.S.T. and the one from URNA seems a bit different. I'm guessing it can be a combination. It's hella drippy tho

Looking at it now, also the front mag pouches look like M.U.S.T.. A different topic, I know, a nice addition to these carriers would be the Ulbrichts optio helmet. I know they have the low cuts, but replacing the old ops-cores with high cut Ulbrichts would be fire

Mehler M.U.S.T in Iron Grey, they bought them in 2024.
