Shellback Tactical Banshee Rifle Plate Carrier (A-TACS AU)
[T07A07][13090 / SBT-BANRIF-AS / 814777]
Tactical Assault Gear, known throughout the world as T.A.G, was founded in 2001 in a 1,000 square foot retail shop in Imperial Beach, CA. Today T.A.G stays true to its founding vision - to create and develop cutting edge tactical gear for today's Military and Law Enforcement who are protecting our country. Critical to that is proper equipment weight management which reduces heat stress, heat casualties, water consumption, back pain, shoulder/neck pain, knee injuries, ankle and foot injuries just to name a few. The days of making gear "bomb proof" by using 3 to 4 layers of 1000 weight nylon are over. An advance in materials and feedback from operators has lead to the development of what we believe to be the best gear T.A.G. has ever produced!
The Shellback Tactical Banshee Rifle Plate Carrier is made in USA out of 500 denier Cordura nylon. The front, back, and shoulders are padded and covered in MOLLE webbing for the attachment of pouches. The included MOLLE cummerbund is adjustable or can be removed to give the carrier a slimmer profile. The front and back have two rows of loop for patches and ID placards. The shoulders have elastic guides for wires, antenna, or hydration tubes. The Banshee accepts up to 10x12 shooter cut armor plates and/or soft armor plate backers. The cummerbund accepts 17in x 6in soft armor inserts and has MOLLE webbing on the interior side for side plate pockets.

This is an amazing plate carrier. There are no loose stitches, is manufactured by a company that supply's gear to our military forces. Not to mention this plate carrier is made in the USA!
Pros:
Licensed A-TACS AU camouflage
Heavy duty webbing
Water resistant to a degree
Made in the USA
Cons:
Based on the video I thought this included the shoulder pads but it doesn't. I bought this plate carrier before they added the shoulder pads to there products list which is why I thought it came with them.
Just got this in today and I love it. This thing looks, feels, and fits great. The only thing is that I have a very small frame so I have to pretty much tighten it up all the way to get a good fit, but that's not the plate carriers fault. Im sure once I got plastic plates in there it'll fit great. And I love that it's A-TACS, it's hard to find good A-TACS gear anywhere. Matches my BDUs and my TACO pouches perfectly.
Pros:
-Durable
-Lightweight
-Lots of MOLLE and Velcro area
-Comfortable
-Lifetime warranty
Cons:
-I didnt buy it sooner.
-Still doesn't come with shoulder pads, I didn't know they are supposed to. But it's no big deal.
Great piece of kit! We'll worth the price!
Pros:
True A-Tacs! Very high quality
Cons:
None
