The BFG Micro RACK is designed as a flexible, MOLLE compatible chest rig stripped of every unnecessary gram of weight and potential failure point, creating what BFG claims is the world’s lightest MOLLE compatible chest rig. Constructed of ULTRAcomp, a proprietary material that meets or exceeds 1000D Cordura and is flame resistant and stays dry, the Micro RACK utilizes the MOLLE Minus system of laser cut slots and voids in leu of a traditional webbing system.
Trimmed down to 6 columns to allow for maximum mobility, concealment, and minimalist setup, the Micro RACK is ideal for Low Vis, SAR, or a trimmed down range rig. It comes in two sizes: Small and Large, the difference largely being the waist strap and H-harness. The Large features front male side-release buckles place at 7.5″ on center allowing compatibility with certain Velocity Systems, Mayflower, and Crye Precision armor carriers. The H-harness is 1″ Cordura webbing sewn and arranged into an H-harness style setup.
The Micro RACK is available in Black, Coyote Brown, MultiCam, OD Green, and Wolf Grey. Made in the USA.
