Updated Team USA RWB Plate Carrier Now Available From Gellman Gear Tactical

Tuesday, July 5th, 2016

Since we last mentioned the Team USA Red, White, Blue Plate Carrier, Gellman Gear Tactical has located and made some design changes from the original carrier. Below, you can see the original, with photos at the bottom of the latest version.

The Team USA RWB (Red, White, and Blue) Plate Carrier was made by Gellman Gear Tactical as a small run for a specific group. Recently, Gellman contacted us and told us to spread the word that he’s making more. It’s made from 1000D nylon with MilSpec elastic/webbing, buckles, and thread, removable shoulder pads, and a three (3) cell pouch “sized for 12-24 oz canned beverages”, built around the SAPI plate.

Keep an eye out on the Gellman Gear Tactical Facebook page and gellmangear.wordpress.com for more information.
