Raine Tactical Gear, a company founded in 1986, when the world of tactical equipment was ruled by tarpaulin, was one of the first to make revolutions in the individual equipment of soldiers. It is worth mentioning that Raine's equipment was used during all military operations of the American Armed Forces since the invasion of Grenada. The company offers both classic equipment, such as belts for uniformed services, as well as innovative laser cut equipment in the guise of chest rigs, backpacks or pouches.
Meanwhile, Raine has announced that it applied to the patent office concerning its Bridger panel, which introduces significant improvements in the "Tubes" quick release system used by First Spear in their plate carriers.
The Bridger panel "restores" the mounting surface that the user loses using the Tubes system, while protecting the system connectors against dirt and damage. The panel can be used both on the right and on the left side of the vest. It is worth mentioning that using the Bridger panel does not deprive the user of the quick release function of the vest offered by the Tubes system.
The Bridger panel is available in Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, Multicam and Black. Manufacturer's price is 79.99 USD.
