Hi, this is Chase from OpticsPlanet, and today I've got the TAG Banshee Plate Carrier.
This is an awesome plate carrier that TAG has created here. I'm gonna
go through the features from top to bottom. First and foremost, the padded shoulder
pads. When this thing is fully loaded, it's about 17 pounds with the
plates in here. So a padded shoulder rest area is a huge benefit. There's
also adjustments that are released with this
buckle here, so you can get it to the appropriate height.
Drag handle - this thing is secured about a third of the way down the back panel, so
if you're pulling somebody, this thing is not going to rip out. As you can see,
there's MOLLE all over this thing.
You can take
all the pouches
and put them straight onto the plate carrier like I have these magazine pouches here.
There's also a cool little pouch that they call a kangaroo pouch, and it's just
kind of a velcro design that you can
insert a zippered pouch
and keep, you know, a pad of paper, a map, any essentials that you need
readily available.
There's two different tie-downs on the sides. You can either use this cumberbund.
The benefit of the cumberbund is that it also has MOLLE panels on the side, so you
can attach a 7x8
ESAPI plate for further ballistic protection. If you don't want to use a cumberbund,
you can use these straps located here, a little bit lower profile. To insert the
plates,
it's a pretty easy design. You just
pull up the velcro panel here,
and then you can pull out the plate,
put it back in.
A lot of velcro on here so it's not gonna fall out by accident.
MOLLE paneling also on the back, so if you have an E-tool or a hydration
system, something a little bit larger, you have a nice large surface here. This vest is
incredibly easy to put on. All you do is open up the front flap, pull off the side
of the cumberbund, fit it over your head,
reattach the cumberbund, and close the flap.
It's all held in place by velcro. It's a great design, it's extremely
comfortable.
Again, it's the TAG Banshee Plate Carrier.
