PDS5-M1C "Pathfinder"

The PDS5-M1C (Personal Defense System, 5th version - 1st Model, C variant) "Pathfinder" is a plate carrier that uses an armored steel plate of incredible strength. It's a simple plate carrier, minimalist in design to allow for maximum maneuverability while offering maximum protection on the zones that it covers. It was developed by Gaia Defense Systems on Dragonia for use by soldiers and contractors. This offering is substantially cheaper than the PDS6-M2A "Interceptor" that Gaia also offers.
