HSS Gear new product at Airsoft GI... "Plate Carriers have become the standard for ballistic protection and are used worldwide by military contractors, soldiers, and law enforcement. They come in a range of different shapes and sizes with varying degrees of ballistic protection. However, the constant for all plate carriers is the ability to hold ballistic armor plates.

The plate carriers of similar design to the OE TECH Plate Carrier have become a favorite among special forces and military contractors for the ability to provide adequate protection and carry plenty of equipment without compromising maneuverability.

The HSS Plate Carrier features an external adjustable cummerbund as well as adjustable shoulder straps for a comfortable fit. The shoulder straps have quick release buckles. There is molle weaving throughout the front and back that allows the user to completely customize the arrangement of their pouches. It includes shoulder pads to help distribute the weight of the vest. Each shoulder pad has a guide for a hydration tube preventing them from getting caught on other gear. The emergency drag handle is constructed from a 2" thick piece of nylon. The HSS is a fine example of high end tactical gear designed for law enforcement and operators by operators.

M.O.L.L.E. stands for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. This system incorporates PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) webbing; rows of heavy-duty nylon stitched onto a vest or other load bearing equipment. This webbing allows for the attachment of various MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories by threading straps attached to the modular pouches through the webbing. MOLLE gives the user the advantage of customizing his equipment for the mission at hand in a configuration that is comfortable and/or functional. Instead of having numerous load bearing vests you can have a single vest that can be customized by adding and removing pouches.
