The Warrior Assault Systems DCS releasable carrier is a lightweight carrier designed to hold soft or hard ballistic plates in the front, back, and side pouches. The carrier is fully covered with a MOLLE webbing system made from durable 1-inch nylon straps. The MOLLE system allows easy attachment of various pouches and accessories to the vest according to the user’s needs. The emergency release mechanism is located in the opening on the front of the left shoulder strap. The length of the DCS vest’s shoulder straps and side sections can be easily adjusted through the flap on the back of the vest. On the back, there is a handle made from 2-inch webbing, intended for evacuation or lifting the user, for example, from water. The vest size is easy to choose as it comes in one size that fits all.

Materials used in Warrior products:
Fabric
Warrior uses 500D fabric in its products. Fabric made from 500D fibers offers excellent abrasion and tear resistance. The solution-dyed fibers are naturally stain-resistant and easy to clean.
Threads
The durability of a product built from stitching depends on the quality of the thread used. The main factors that shorten thread lifespan are mold and sunlight. To ensure the longest possible lifespan for WAS products, only nylon threads produced in the USA are used, which are protected against UV light and mold damage.
Properties of the fibers used by Warrior:
-
- Resistance to acids – good
- Resistance to alkalis – good
- Abrasion resistance – excellent
- Heat resistance – 142 °C (maximum continuous heat tolerance before product damage)
- Melting point – 265 °C

The MOLLE webbing on Warrior products is designed to withstand heavy use. The MOLLE straps are specified to handle stress as follows:
-
- 25mm (1 inch) breaking strength: 544kg (1200 lbs)
- 38mm (1.5 inch) breaking strength: 816kg (1800 lbs)
