SDS rack + body armor

Brakoo · August 15th, 2005, 23:29

I recently got myself an SDS rack and while looking at pictures I noticed that most soldiers that use it on the field have a body armor underneath it. I was wondering what kind of body armor that is and what would be the best airsoft version to get ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have a link to those pictures? Most likely it is either an Interceptor OTV or a SPEAR BALCS armour, Ranger version.

If it is older pictures, it is likely to be Ranger Body Armor, RBA. Like hammer said, a pic would help.

Something like this one with FSBE.

Probably because I am tired, but not quite sure what you mean. :grin:

poncho has RACK and black armor vest

Brakoo · August 16th, 2005, 01:45

yeah exactly something like the setup poncho has but in woodland color to match with the rest. Maybe what I saw on pictures is the FSBE. I can't find any pictures at the moment but I saw a few while browsing militaryphotos.net.

FSBE is usualy for Marine related units.

Did you mean your RACK setup was just like Ponchos? because in that picture you can hardly see his armor at all, just some black edges.

Brakoo · August 16th, 2005, 01:55

Sorry for the confusion but what I meant is that my rack setup is like Poncho's. Now what I'm looking for is to get my hand on a similar body armor in woodland. I looked on ebay but all the ones I found had some MOLLE attachment on them which would be useless to me.

I'll see what my other options are but I'll keep it in mind anyway.

Bigmatty · August 16th, 2005, 02:04

gah..that was supposed to be a PM...

If you saw it in a real military photo you are probably looking for the following

The Ranger Body Armor, RBA

Another version of the RBA, this one with a small pouch in the front

Interceptor OTV

Or finally, the SPEAR Ranger version

Brakoo · August 16th, 2005, 08:18

The ranger body armor it would be then, thanks Yuxi. Now I just need to see if there's any airsoft version of it. The real deal is a little out of my budget. Don't want to end up paying 300$ US and more for it.

EDIT :

I checked WGC and found this that they do have in stock at the moment :

Anyone have some experience with it ?

I have a similar one but has black elastics instead of OD. Can bring it to QuickPass to show you.
