BFG’s RACKminus loaded with Helium Whisper pouches
At SHOT Show, our friends at Blue Force Gear released the RACKminus, a super lightweight chest rig made of a high tech laminate they call ULTRAcomp that is extremely strong, durable and lightweight. A while back, Blue Force Brittney sent out a sample of the RACKminus along with some of their Ten Speed pouches, which use Helium Whisper technology. I had a chance to run it on the range for a bit and thought I’d share my thoughts.
I recently participated in an EAG Tactical low light Carbine 2 course in Texas. I was running my LaRue Texas RangAR .308 rifle that is the subject of a future print media article. I needed to get a 7.62 x51 specific chest rig. I contacted the folks at First Spear to see what they had that would meet my needs for a lightweight chest rig. Ronnie Fowlkes recommended the SHOCK 6/12 rig. I ordered it along with a pistol magazine pouch for my HK P30. The Multicam rig was delivered quickly and I immediately noticed that it was very lightweight. This may be in part because of the 6/12 panels, which get rid of a lot of the heavy PALS webbing. While I was a little skeptical about the 6/12 attachments, there were zero issues in class and no movement.
