Product Overview

The Tasmanian Tiger LP MKII is engineered from first principles for concealment. The T-SQUARE RIP FD material is the defining technical choice: 210-denier polyamide fibers woven with exceptional tightness and then finished with full-dull (FD) yarn treatment. The FD treatment eliminates the light-catching sheen present in most nylon and polyamide textiles, giving the LP MKII a matte surface that reads as civilian clothing under indirect lighting — a critical requirement for plainclothes law enforcement or executive protection details who must pass a visual scan without triggering threat awareness.

The ultra-flat construction is the second design priority. The neutral front face carries no external webbing loops, stitching rows, or attachment hardware that would create discernible ridges under a jacket. Combined with the length-adjustable elastic side attachment — which eliminates the rigid plastic buckles visible at the waist with conventional carriers — the LP MKII achieves a silhouette that is difficult to distinguish from a standard athletic undershirt or structured vest at conversational distances.

The S/M sizing targets the core of the anthropometric distribution in law enforcement and special operations communities. The elastic side attachment self-compensates for minor torso width variation without requiring individual adjustment, supporting rapid-don deployment from staged equipment in vehicles or locker rooms. For operators requiring a carrier that can transition from overt to covert wear depending on mission profile — worn openly at a security post, concealed under a jacket during plainclothes work — the LP MKII's absence of external attachment hardware makes this transition possible without changing equipment.
