Blue Force Gear showcases its latest evolution in its PLATEminus Plate Carriers line with the all-new KLAUX Plate Carrier. The KLAUX sets itself apart from other armor carrier systems currently available by using a patent-pending quick attach buckle.

If you’re like me, you’ll go through a wide array of gear before you settle on something or maybe multiple things that […]

The RECCE/ Sniper Chest Rack was designed and developed on the battlefield by Special Operations Snipers.
