Announces Next Gen PLATEminus™
Armor Carrier with Version 6
Always Better. | January 21st, 2020
Blue Force Gear’s state of the art PLATEminus™ plate carrier has received the latest in functional updates desired by its elite end-users with its PLATEminus™ V6.
Blue Force Gear is always in pursuit of balancing weight savings and feature sets, and the PLATEminus V6 strikes a sweet spot thanks to the state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques leveraged in its development, and now production,” said Stephen Hilliard, Director of Product Development of Blue Force Gear. Constructed using Blue Force Gear’s proprietary ULTRAcomp® laminate and 500D solution dyed CORDURA®, PLATEminus’s legacy continues as an ideal load carriage system that is not only more rugged and significantly lighter than traditional armor carriers, it’s exponentially more streamlined.
PLATEminus V6 is designed to securely house ESAPI/SPEAR armored plates and features fully enclosed plate pockets to encapsulate and protect each plate. The carrier accepts 6X6-inch side plates within integrated side plate pockets within the cummerbund side closures. A flat admin pocket is concealed behind the front loop field, while a rubberized, shrink-wrapped, nylon reinforced drag handle is optimally placed on the back panel.
The unique cummerbund also utilizes Ten-Speed™ technology, providing users with a streamlined method of housing spare magazines or similar sized items as close to the body as possible.
