The harness system of the Plate Frame is made up of straps and cummerbund that are polyurethane coated and radio frequency (RF) welded, the latter providing that there is no stitching that might compromise strength.\u00a0 The material in the harness felt like the same tough rubberized skin of a RIB.\u00a0 S&S reports the harness system is also “non-hydroscopic,” by which they mean is does not absorb water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>At their SOFIC booth, S&S Precision’s Johnny Swan told me the LE version was envisioned in a dual role as a throw-over plate carrier for the on-duty patrol officer and as a concealed plate carrier to be worn under a jacket or other bulky clothing during undercover assignments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’ve been liking the idea of an excruciatingly stripped down plate carrier for use over my duty gear.\u00a0 Much like their Holster Extender<\/a>, S&S Precision is bringing cutting edge technology and futuristic designs to the marketplace.\u00a0 This is only good for everyone.<\/p>\n
