As more BALCS LVR (Low Vis Rig) body armor carriers go out more pictures of the LVR carrier are coming in. The BALCS LVR (Low Vis Rig) is a state-of-art , low profile, modular tactical vest designed for the BALCS cut armor that allows the user modular capabilities while maintaining flexibility for mission specific needs.

The LVR was designed for low vis operations. From the very beginning we have been designing low vis rigs for NIJ, OTV, IOTV and BALCS cut body armor. On the back of the BALCS LVR we incorporated a low profile, reinforced drag handle and a few rows of molle webbing for the attachment of pouches. 4” of loop velcro go around the entire carrier for maximum elastic side adjustment for user comfort and fit.

The carrier was built around the BALCS cut body armor industry dimensions standards. The carrier will support BALCS cut armor from Velocity Systems, BAE, KDH, Point-Blank, and many others.

The carrier supports front and back hard plates – SAPI, ESAPI, SWIMMER CUT. The plate pockets supports the plate with 2-2” mil spec webbing and has plenty of adjustment. Many body armor carrier only use one webbing strap. We feel securing and supporting the hard plate in place correctly requires two webbing straps.

The Kryptek carrier goes good with a set of Kryptek camouflage clothing.

The BALCS LVR (Low Vis Rig) is a scalable low vis rig built for the low vis industry and user.

The LVR is available in: Multicam, A-TACS AU, A-TACS FG, Kryptek Highlander, Kryptek Mandrake, Coyote, Khaki, Ranger Green, Woodland, ABU, ACU, and Black.

We have been building custom body armor carriers for years and have built carriers for armor made by Velocity, American Body Armor (ABA), SAVVY- Armor For Women, PROTECH, Second Chance, Point Blank, US Armor , KDH and many others. We are excited to introduce this new form to make it easier to make a custom body armor carrier for our clients.

The new form includes two images that depict the end user with his or her body armor on and the needed measurements.

The A to B measurement is from the center of the body(around the belly button area) to the edge of the back panel. Some armor cuts do have overlap over the front panel but the measurement is to the back panel edge.

The C to D measurement is from the top edge of the front panel over the shoulder the top edge of the back panel.

Both of the measurements help us build a better and more comfortable custom body armor carrier.

A custom body armor carrier for Law Enforcement will cost effectively convert that custom cut body armor into an OTV(Outer Tactical Vest). Female officers that are on tactical teams this is an ideal solution. Hard plate pockets, velcro and drag handle can all be added to the OTV.

Low vis vest with hard plate pockets are increasing in popularity. If you need to up armor and stay low profile, one of our low vis vest will do the job.

Tactical groups that have changed to a new camouflage pattern and need to update your Tactical Vest. We offer 12 different colors and camouflage patterns.

Range Masters, Firearms Instructors, Public Safety, Fire Fighters, and EMS – Red has been added to our color options. A high visibility custom carrier can be made to support your body armor panels.

Our custom body armor carriers can be made with vertical webbing attachment points to support the ITW QASM buckles. The attachment points will allow the Beez Combat Systems chest rig bib, Mayflower and Haley Strategic rigs to be attached to the carrier. Velcro loop can be requested to support the rigs as well.

We look forward to helping you with your custom cut body armor carrier needs.

The BALCS LVR (Low Vis Rig) was released just a few weeks ago and we are already seeing the LVR put to use. The BALCS LVR body armor carrier was designed around the popular BALCS cut body armor. This new body armor carrier system provides a scalable way for BALCS cut armor users to go from low profile to a fully loaded outer tactical vest.

The chest rig bib supports a 4 mag configuration and available for AR or AK mags. The bib is connect to the BALCS LVR with two buckles on the chest and one on each side. The hook velcro on the inside of the bib allows the user to quickly attach it to the carrier. Which allow the sides to be connected when the situation permits. The hook velcro adds mag stability and prevents the bib from moving. The bib has three connection points on each side and an internal pocket for additional item storage.

The 4” fully adjustable heavy duty elastic sides provide the right amount of expansion and contraction. A carrier that is worn too tight or rigid can prevent air supply to your lungs and not allow a proper shooting position. 4” loop velcro extends around the entire carrier for maximum waist elastic adjustment.

The back of the LVR has a reinforced drag handle and molle webbing for the attachment of a hydration carrier or pouches.

The BALCS LVR (Low Vis Rig) is a state-of-art , low profile, modular tactical vest designed for the BALCS cut armor that allows the user modular capabilities while maintaining flexibility for mission specific needs.

The AK47 3 mag shingle in now available for all of you AK fan!!!!!!!!

The AK47 triple magazine shingle is designed to support three 30 round AK47 magazines. The open top 3 mag AK47 shingle is designed to be mounted to any molle compatible outer tactical vest or plate carrier. The shingle has some unique features not found on other AK shingles.

The back of the triple mag shingle has four rows of molle webbing for quick attachment. The shingle can be attached with Malice clips, Speed clips and other clips systems on the market.

We wanted to reduce weight, keep it low profile and provide a distinctly different shingle to the market. We angled the corners of both the top and bottom to give it a unique look. The AK mags fit in the shingle perfect in both direction because of the curve of the mag.

The shingle is very low profile even with an internal pouch.

The internal pouch provided additional storage of small items and increases the carrying capacity. The pouch is secured with 2” velcro across the entire length of the pouch.

We designed the over sized pull tab for our popular AK47 chest rig and have incorporated them into the AK47 Shingle. The over sized pull tab works in conjunction with the curved AK47 mag and holds the mag securely in place.

AK fans,  the AK47 3 mag shingle is available in many different camo and color options:  Multicam, A-TACS AU, A-TACS FG, Kryptek Highlander, Kryptek Mandrake, Coyote, Khaki, Ranger Green, Woodland, ABU, ACU, and Black.
