Tacprogear Black's Releasable Body Armor Vest (RBAV) is designed for tactical operators demanding superior upper torso ballistic coverage, full range of motion, and quick release capability. RBAV vest design is based on the SPEAR/BALCS shaped platform with a full-coverage tactical cut protecting the upper torso from multiple ballistic threats (depending upon level of ballistic inserts utilized). The vest is compatible with an array of optional components, such as bicep, groin, and throat and collar protection. The ambidextrous, quick-release mechanism stays tucked under the throat access flap and is easily reached and deployed.
