Back Support
The Ergo Performance System (EPS) is a body armor suspension system, which fits between a plate carrier and the wearer’s back.
This system was developed through collaboration between Elite Sports Bio-mechanics Specialists, Chiropractors, Naval Medical Doctors, Special Operators, and Law Enforcement Personnel.
It is a lightweight system that helps increase range of motion, ventilation, optimize performance, prevent injury, and improve comfort without changing your plate carrier.


"The EPS gives a very real improvement in breathing, especially during extended physical exertion, and reduces chafing on the usual vest pressure points. This is especially remarkable and has to be tried to be believed."

Dissipates heat by increasing airflow by an average of 50%
Decreases heat under back panel of carrier by 12-16 degrees
Increases Thoracic range of motion by 25-68%
Increase lung capacity by 17% thus decreasing fatigue
Decreases back muscle fatigue by 10-25%
Incorporates Into Any Existing Plate Carrier
Developed for Elite Military/LE
Body armor is heavy, hot, restrictive, and can be uncomfortable, the EPS is the only system of its kind and was developed by focusing on improving the interface between equipment and operator.
