    Banshee Carrier

    Posted by Chris on May 11th 2023

    I was issued the Shellback Banshee when I joined my departments Special Response Team. The carrier was probably 10 years old or better and it had been through the ringer, who knows how many others had it before it came to me. Even with the hard use I could not find any major wear. The stitching was all still intact and the velcro fields still had plenty of life left in them. The downside to the original Banshee is that there is very little padding and gets very uncomfortable after a while of wearing it. With that said, the addition of the shoulder pads sold here make it a new vest and very comfortable for multiple hours of use. It really is a great carrier and can withstand a lot of abuse.

    As advertised, maybe even better

    Posted by Ross E Anderson on Sep 7th 2021

    I'm almost an old man - 100% out of shape and not in exactly the best environment but let me say this about this piece of gear - it doesn't make me super human but it does make me prepared. Prepared in the sense that when I add on the MOLLE ammo pouches to the front and a hydration system on the rear, that I now have a load bearing system that I can adjust the plates that I'm carrying and vary the load out configuration. I'm very impressed with the ability to remove the cummerbund and the ability to use the quick disconnect clips in the shoulders "as needed". For an old man that wants a level of comfort, consistency and reliability in gear and equipment, I would recommend this. You élite types out there, this might not be for you - but for the average citizen bumping up the "being ready" meter - this is 100% a great foundational piece of gear.

    great vest

    Posted by Cody on Jan 16th 2021

    I bought the banshee and the vest is well made and meets all expectations however it has almost no padding on The shoulder Straps but outside of that it is worth the money.
