Bought it in 2011 and used it in Afghanistan in 2012 and loved it! Still have it after all these years and one of the best tactical purchases I ever made. Also look into the Ares Armor assault packs as well. Got that the same time and now I still it for civilian use. The quick disconnects are awesome for vehicle and air assault missions. Don’t have to worry about straps when using the quick disconnects setup and works great with the Banshee rig. You can use it with, or without straps. I know this reply is to a post that is 2+ years old, but for someone who might be researching for their next rig, I hope it’s helpful.

DesertMarine that’s on us. We totally should have gone over it. The banshee cummerbund does look to be able to accept side plates. There is a Velcro sealed opening at the rear of the cummerbund ( by the back plate) the opens into the cummerbund itself. We would for sure inquire with Shellback directly, to be safe.
@tyronejackson65934 жыл бұрын
It will accept soft armor plates. This is from the Shellback website; “Interior pockets fit soft armor panels that are sized at 13.75 inches long by 5.5 inches tall”. If you want to add Level 4 hard armor plates Shellback offers a carrier that attaches with MOLLE to the inside of the cumberbund and you can buy it as a combo package with 6x6 plates for $250. Of course everything is out of stock right now! I’m personally trying to decide between ordering a Rampage active shooter kit or waiting for the Banshee 2.0 to be available again..

@grimnirtactical73064 жыл бұрын
In this video, the setup is - Baofeng UV-82 HP - Peltor Comtac III's - Peltor amplified PTT (Essential for proper input and output with the mil-spec comms) - Whip antenna Since the video, the whip antenna has been replaced by a CAATail antenna, which threads directly into the molle and is much more comfortable/low profile. Just make sure you get the proper connector for the radio you use. Also - don't skimp on the PTT. At the very least you need an amplified PTT, our knowledge base and further research identified that the wiring used in the peltors doesn't mesh nicely with the cheap PTT... with the real steel PTT, it is now crystal clear. Hope the above helps!

It is in the shoulders to a small degree. But you can remove the padding and it's not really that much different than the original. I personally run the original as a slimline home defense rig and the 2.0 in the lockbox in my vehicle. Mainly if it's a scenario I may need to wear it to get home it's more padding for trekking distance.
