Shellback Tactical Banshee Rifle Plate Carrier

Special Introductory Offer- Add a FREE Velcro US Flag Patch (Full Color, Forward
ONLY- $4.00 Value) to any BANSHEE order!*

SKD is proud to offer the HOTTEST sub-$150 plate carrier on the market- the Shellback
BANSHEE! After meeting with Shellback and reviewing the Banshee’s features, we
concluded that when it comes to function for dollar, the Banshee IS the market leader. It
may not fit the bill for everyone, but if you are new to the PC market and are looking for
a great entry-level option, the Banshee is a serious contender.

The BANSHEE Rifle Plate Carrier was designed to meet and exceed the needs of
the operator. If you are an Operator, Military and Law Enforcement alike who needs a
high quality carrier that has great load carrying capacity in a compact lightweight design
the BANSHEE is for you. The Shoulders on the BANSHEE rifle plate carrier are fully
adjustable and padded with a new advanced design feature not seen in other rigs. The
shoulder areas once adjusted slides into itself and locks in securely with a hidden quick
release buckle. On the shoulders are 2 rows of PALS webbing with elastic nylon sewn in
between the PALS webbing allowing for comms or hydration tubing to be ran through.

The front and back of the BANSHEE feature 5 rows of PALS webbing and two 2 inch
rows of Loop sewn on for flags and other identifiers. The front and back of the panels
of the carrier on the body side are also padded. Rifle plates are loaded from the bottom
front/back and secured with a hook/loop closure.

The BANSHEE rifle plate carrier includes a removable cummerbund. The Cummerbund
runs through the rig, is fully adjustable (one size fits most) and has PALS webbing. If the
Cummerbund if not needed it can also be removed, and the rig can continue to be secured
by a secondary nylon strap system with quick release buckles (also removable). The front
pocket of the Carrier has a hook and loop kangaroo type pocket to allow for accessories.

NEWS- The Banshee Rifle Plate Carrier is now L.A.P.D. Approved
for use by officers. It is on the Approved Gear list for the Los Angeles
Police Department (L.A.P.D.)

BADASS!!! May 7, 2013
Reviewer: Jhon Jaranilla aka "CapInYoAss" from Fontana, CA United States  
$130 is a steal for a really nice plate carrier! Compact, and light. I like how it stays on your chest even if you have a heavy load on the back.

Lightning Fast Service May 7, 2013
Reviewer: David Sanders from East Palatka, FL United States  
I love SKD. You guys are the best ever. Only high quality gear for the folks who really need it. And as for your Warehouse Ninjas...words cannot describe their speed. Ordered the Banshee plate carrier in Multicam (SKD was the only place who had that color in stock by the way) and within 4 days, it was on my doorstep. You will always have my business first.

Nice little set-up May 3, 2013
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from San Jose, CA United States  
First impressions: Well-made, stitching is pretty good, velcro pretty sturdy, MOLLE everywhere, lots of play with shoulder straps that can be snapped on and off, easy to get in and out of in more ways than one. It sits high and narrow and for those of you like me who are looking for slimmer profiles in a PC to maximize mobility and movement around the waist and arms/shoulders while still having the ability to protect vitals, can't really think of a better PC out there that does this, especially at this price point. I keep it simple, two three-stacks up front (you could even go with one to keep it even slimmer, as it has a nifty little kangaroo pouch in the front that'll hold 3 standard mags), anything else I need in my assault pack. But for those of you who want to carry other things, plenty of room IMO elsewhere, including cummerbund, which by the way can be removed, a plus for me. All in all, personally I'm satisfied 'cause it was in so many ways what I was looking for.

Nice piece of gear May 3, 2013
Reviewer: Vanilla face actual from Christiansburg, VA United States  
This is a nice peice of gear with good materials and stitching. I haven't used it yet so I can't speak to the ruggedness, but I think it will hold up well. At 6'1 and 225lbs the coverage area is a bit small, but it leaves a nice gap for a battle belt.

Everything I Expected! May 3, 2013
Reviewer: Seth Kimbrough from AL United States  
I had been doing research for 2 months now on which plater carrier to buy and after debating between a Crye Precision and the Banshee, hands down the Banshee is the best. Not only because of the money but materials, options and sizing. I do not regret this plate carrier purchas at all. Highly reccomended!!!!
