The MC Armor TT Belt is a ballistic cummerbund designed to provide 360-degree lateral and torso coverage for both military and civilian users. It pairs with a plate carrier's cummerbund attachment points to extend ballistic protection around the sides of the torso, adapting to the body's shape during active wear. The panel construction uses breathable materials suited for extended use in warm environments.

Who this is for

• Plate carrier users who want to extend front-and-back plate coverage to the sides and flanks without switching to a heavier vest system
• Security and law enforcement professionals requiring discreet lateral ballistic coverage during prolonged operational shifts
• Civilians seeking layered protection who already own a plate carrier and want to add wrap-around coverage as a modular upgrade

Threat coverage

The TT Belt is rated for Level IIIA threat parameters, which covers common handgun calibers including 9mm, .357 SIG, and .44 Magnum. Level IIIA soft armor does not stop rifle-caliber threats. Users requiring rifle-rated protection must pair this cummerbund with appropriate hard armor plates in their carrier's front and rear plate pockets.

Frequently asked questions

What threat level does this cummerbund stop?

It is rated to Level IIIA, which covers common handgun calibers including 9mm, .357 SIG, and .44 Magnum at standard test velocities. It does not provide protection against rifle-caliber ammunition. For rifle-threat environments, hard armor plates in the front and rear pockets of your carrier remain essential.

Will this stop rifle rounds?

No. Level IIIA soft armor is rated for handgun threats only. Rifle calibers such as 5.56x45 M193 and 7.62x39 exceed the energy threshold that IIIA-rated panels are designed to stop. Use hard armor plates alongside this cummerbund for rifle-threat environments.

What plate carriers is this compatible with?

It depends on your carrier's cummerbund slot dimensions and attachment system. The TT Belt is designed to integrate with standard cummerbund-compatible plate carriers. Contact us to confirm fitment with your specific carrier before ordering.

Is the panel removable or sewn in?

Contact us for details on panel removability and whether the ballistic insert can be separated from the cummerbund shell for laundering or replacement.

How do I size this cummerbund?

It depends on your torso measurement and the carrier you are pairing it with. Available sizes include at minimum a Large variant. Contact us with your waist and torso measurements and your carrier model so we can recommend the correct size.
