PLATEminus, the fourth product of the MOLLEminus series,will be makings its debut today in San Diego at Warrior West. MOLLEminus is so named because of its decreased weight and increased simplicity or, as Blue Force Gear puts it, “MOLLEminus™ technology: MOLLE minus the weight, MOLLE minus the bulk, MOLLE minus the complexity.” PLATEminus will use MOLLEminus construction – voids and slots laser cut from a single piece of ULTRAcomp™ laminate instead of layers of sewn nylon and webbing – and will feature an inner plate pocket constructed of color matched CORDURA® and Tweave to provide camouflage and signature reduction. The end result is an extremely lightweight modular load carriage system. “We designed PLATEminus with simplicity in mind,” said John Felushko, Blue Force Gear’s Product Line Manager. “PLATEminus is simple to put on with single pull forward side straps, simple to customize due to full MOLLE compatibility and simple to size – just buy your SAPI/ESAPI plate size.” Available in sizes medium and large. MSRP $175.00. More on Blue Force Gear's PLATEminus. Why you can trust RECOIL Since our founding in 2012, RECOIL remains the premier firearms lifestyle publication for the modern shooting enthusiast.
