Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Spiritus Systems Expander Wing MK2 ambidextrous?

The Expander Wing MK2 features an internal Velcro 'tongue' system. This design allows the wing to be used on either the left or right side of a kit and also enables users to adjust the internal depth of the pouch.

How does the Expander Wing MK2 improve load-bearing?

It includes a top slit for routing buckles, which transfers the load to the webbing and buckles. This is more durable than relying solely on Velcro, which can degrade and shear over time, especially when carrying heavy items like radios.

Can the Expander Wing MK2 be used with FirstSpear Tubes?

Yes, the MK2 has dedicated tabs specifically for attaching FirstSpear Tubes. This allows users to add quick-release functionality to plate carriers that were not originally designed with Tube compatibility.

What is included with each Spiritus Systems Expander Wing MK2?

Each Expander Wing MK2 comes with the wing itself, a length of shock cord, a pull tab, and a cord lock. These components are used to create a secure retention system for carried items.
