[TFB GUNFEST] New Belts and Plate Carrier from Blue Force Gear
Blue Force Gear (BFG) arrived in style and unveiled its newest batch of kit at TFB’s GunFest 2021. Among the slew of new offerings were their newest PLATE-6 carrier, as well as new CHLK and GRID belts.

BFG - PLATE-6 Carrier Side
BFG is a design company, and the PLATE-6 carrier is no exception. It’s built to meet end-user mission-specific requirements. The PLATE-6 is BFG’s first dedicated entry plate carrier.

BFG - PLATE-6 Front Admin Pocket
The admin pouch up front has been streamlined for use with an ATAKs phone (or other mission accessories).

BFG - PLATE-6 Side Cummerbund
No gap between where the side plates and the front plate meet creates a seamless cummerbund.

BFG - PLATE-6 Side Cummerbund Removal
Everything on the new PLATE-6 carrier is build to the lowest form factor possible.

Blue Force Gear - PLATE-6 Rear
On the back of the carrier are additional MOLLEminus mounting options for whatever tools the operator may require. The only part of this kit that isn’t BFG is the Core performance pads that came highly recommended.
I look forward to seeing the PLATE-6 coming to market this spring.

BFG - CHLK Belt
Development on the new CHLK or Combat Helo Load Rated Kit was created after BFG was approached by Rangers who needed a new load rated belt for helicopter assaulters.

BFG - CHLK Belt Clip Points
Utilizing three clipping points on the outer belt, the CHLK is both rugged and versatile.

BFG - CHLK Belt Clasp
At the front, the CHLK uses a load rated COBRA belt buckle that’s rugged and easy to use.

BFG - CHLK Belt Attachment System
The CHLK is actually two belts (the inner that’s removable) and the outer load rated. All the materials are laser-cut with natural curvature, so no needed break-in period. All of this added comfort has been added while maintaining the load rating while making it as light and thin as possible. Features

Wow more Blue Force Gear......said no one.
I think this goes perfectly with you at your training course with your hands behind your back like a school boy.
Lol always at the ready.
BFG is pretty good stuff, but I don’t know that I would pay more for their PC than a crye. I mean it is less than first spear, but still, 300$ is rough before you even add anything to it.
