S&S Precision Plate Frame

[brightcove video="1403139765001" /]
One of the must-sees of SHOT 2012 is this piece of thermo-molded polymer that snaps around the edges of an armor plate. The rig is held  in place with a system of polyurethane-coated and radio-frequency-welded straps that are tough and have no sewn stitches to fray. Its futuristic looks belie its backward compatibility with the MOLLE/PALS pouch system. Using S&S Precision's new pouch system will afford a more stable platform. The plate carrier will be dipped in any camo pattern available and will come in two versions — "Tactical" and "LE" — the difference being the thickness of the material and resulting weight. S&S told us the tactical version is 18 ounces, but the weight of the LE version hadn't been finalized.
Price: $381.
Available: Summer.
