T.Rex Arms has recently released its latest piece of tactical gear, the T.Rex TRAAP chest rig. This new chest rig takes inspiration from the well-known Tactical Assault Panel (TAP). T.Rex modernized the TAP’s design, scaled it down, and added several quality-of-life improvements for end users.
Below is the product description from T.Rex Arms on their new TRAAP chest rig.
Product Description
The T.REX TRAAP takes inspiration from the well-known Tactical Assault Panel, commonly called the TAP. We took this well-vetted design, scaled it down a little, modernized it, and made a few quality-of-life improvements to bring the TAP up to par with modern equipment.
Instead of the seven mag pouches on the TAP, the TRAAP features a smaller 6-mag footprint to reduce weight and overall size to something more manageable. We also reworked the admin pouch, adding a removable zipper insert and an internal mesh divider for more organization. Another key improvement is in the harness itself, replacing the original TAP Y harness with our H harness, which has more modern features, extra comfort, and greater load-bearing capability. Like our Quad Flap, the TRAAP comes with our Back Strap and features multiple backstrap attachment points, offering more tunability.
The inside of the TRAAP magazine pouches are loop-lined, making them compatible with Esstac KYWI inserts and our Individual Item Flap, offering the end-user three different retention methods depending on personal preferences. The TRAAP also features standard buckle spacing and a rear loop field to be attached to most plate carriers or to run a dangler-style pouch like our MED-H or Wallaby. When not in use on a plate carrier, a simple Cordura panel covers the hook field.
The TRAAP chest rig is available now on the T.Rex Arms website and retails between $225 and $240, depending on the color. Available colors are Coyote Brown, M81 Woodland, Multicam, and Ranger Green. To see all that T.Rex Arms has to offer, from gear to information to resources, click here.
