Actually, an introduction makes it sound like Shellback is a new company but I actually met Mike Wratten, the owner at SHOT Show 08 in Las Vegas and the company’s roots go all the way back to 2003. Shellback started out as a producer of tactical nylon products to support weapon systems but has refined that position over the last six years to concentrate on the Law Enforcement community. Specializing in gear for the “Active Shooter” scenario, their new Active Shooter Assault Platform line is designed for the worst case scenario that a cop can face. Shellback Tactical has an exclusive arrangement with Tactical Assault Gear who manufacture their products in the USA. TAG also handles distribution of all Shellback products.
The GO TIME Active Shooter Chest Rig has been featured in SWAT Magazine and they now produce a PALS compatible version version so that the wearer has more configuration control for his rig. This video from Police One tells a little about the rig.
