Archangel Armor in conjunction with Mystery Ranch has made a set of body armor that uses the load bearing design of a backpack to carry the weight of ballistic panels and plates that will have you tossing your old IBA like a bad mag on qualification day.
Imagine putting on the rear portion of your body armor like a backpack with a waistbelt, then snapping the front panel to it with four beefy Cobra QR buckles.
Want to ditch the panels and go slick? Pull the plate carriers from the panels and snap them in using those QR buckles. If you dump the whole kit using the QRs, just snap them back together. You won't be sitting on the deck for 20 minutes weaving cables to get your gear back in fighting form.
The designer, Paul Carter, says the kit is comparable in weight and cost to the current US Army IOTV setup. If you've got 2 minutes, press play and watch a show floor demo video.
