T.REX TRAAP Chest Rig
Video | What’s Included | Specs | Magazine Fitment | Pictures
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 central point of improvement is in the harness itself, replacing the original TAP Y harness with our H harness, which has some more modern features while offering extra comfort and more 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 run a dangler-style pouch, like our MED-H or Wallaby; when not in use on a plate carrier, a simple Cordura panel is used to cover the hook field.
