This photo from Mayflower Research & Consulting illustrates the evolution of their Low-Profile Armor Carrier (LPAC). Since it’s inception in 2006 it has undergone about 10 different minor changes and at least one major redesign. Mayflower constantly evaluates their designs and materials available to ensure they offer the most advanced gear possible.
Here is a peek at some new products from TYR Tactical-
Shellback Tactical has informed us that they have collaborated with Victory Tactical Gear and put together a great armor plate package to complement the Banshee carrier.
It’s called the Banshee Defender System and includes a Banshee Plate Carrier and (2) Level 4 Rifle Plates with a discounted price for the package of $480. This is the permanent price and not some introductory special offer. As you know, the Banshee is now approved for LAPD use so getting this carrier and plates at that price is a fantastic deal and puts this in reach of many LEOs who have to provide their own equipment.
