Blue Force Gear Introduces SPLITminus Chest Rig

Lots of folks were very interested in Blue Force Gear’s RACKminus minimalist chest rig but wanted the convenience of a split front setup. BFG listened and has just announced the SPLITminus entry to their MOLLEminus line which is the perfect complement for their highly popular Helium Whisper pouch technology. The panels are cut from a single sheet of ULTRAcomp material rather than layers of separately cut nylon. This makes for a lighter overall construction.

SPLITminus integrates two side-release buckles into the design to facilitate donning and doffing yet still weighs in at 250 grams which is 5 grams lighter than the RACKminus. This is due to the strip of load carrying real estate removed up front to accommodate the buckles meaning each side has MOLLE fields of 6 columns by 3 rows. Currently in MultiCam only.

For anyone who has used the other version of this have you used malice clips with it? I’m curious if it will shred your shirt.

  I have not, but I think it would suck to be honest. I think MALICE clips suck in the first place, but that’s just my opinion. There’s just better systems out there.

    I’ve used the other version for about 3 months almost daily with malice clips. No issues with “shredding” anything.

    I’ve worn the other version almost daily for 3 months with multiple pouches having the plastic malice clips. No issues with any “shredding”.

    What do you use instead of Malice clips on pouches that have no other means of attachment?

      Drop Zone Tactical Snake Straps are lightweight, easy to install, and field repairable.

Was figuring it was only a matter of time before BFG came out with a split front version of their MOLLE minus.

    Flipping it around is the way to go if you want CB. Then only the straps and padding are multicam)

The colour on the back is hardly Coyote though, it’s way too light.
