The Sidewinder Chest Skid Plate in A-TACS Camo

The one piece skid plate is constructed from 1000 denier Cordura nylon. Adjustable straps transverse the wearers waist and back allow for adjustment for different size operators. Quick employment and exit of the garment are performed behalf 1-inch ITW Nexus buckles. An inner liner hosts a side entry pocket for document and map storage and allows the operator to adjust the level of chest padding. A 1-inch webbing egress crotch strap keeps the SideWinder from riding-up during reverse crawls. Combine the SideWinder Chest Skid plate with Tactical Concealment’s Viper or Cobra upper garments along with the Armadillo leg chaps and you will have a completely modular sniper garment suited for a wide variety of tactical applications.

Sniper Boonie Hat in A-TACS Camo
The Snipers Boonie is designed to address the critical factor of head and shoulder concealment, One size fits most. Features include:
- Entire crown of hat is ventilated with nylon mesh. Mesh is tucked in-between fabric to ensure no pinching against the
skull occurs

Law Enforcement or Military Personnel, for additional information on these products, visit them online at www.tacticalconcealment.com or, contact them by e-mail at: dinora@tacticalconcealment.com."

Now before you get super excited, some of the products described retail at over $700, but there are cheaper alternatives as well. Most would possibly be out of the casual paintball/airsoft price range, but aside from their marketed LE/Military customers I'm sure that there would be some hunters willing to pay that price for a quality suit.

13 days till the A-TACS FG release! Who's excited?
