The Sniper Panel uses the standard zippers on Direct Action’s Hurricane and Tempest chest rigs to move the sides of the rigs further out leaving a flat surface at the center of the chest in order to get a comfortable prone shooting profile. Additionally, the shoulder straps mount directly to the panel for comfortable wear. The panel includes a zipperd compartment for the storage of flat items.

I’ve been waiting for them to release that for a long time. Its great to see the way it turned out, looks like a very handy little pocket / admin pouch and I reckon it adds a nice bit of additional capability for scouts, snipers, team/squad leaders, and even just ordinary grunts too.
Can’t wait to get that set up.
Great for stalking and long term OP work. Pretty innovative.
Good to see it keeps the shoulder straps centred, stop them slipping off those of us on the no-I-don’t-lift end of the scale.
I imagine it might’ve been done at some point, but I’m surprised I’ve not seen this as a sort of ‘field’ mod on other types of split front chest rigs. Then again everyone’s been using armour carriers for the most part for a long time now I suppose.
