Gear Clinic: Plate Carrier / Chest Rig / Belt Setup - August 19, 2024

How does a Plate Carrier work? What on earth is a Chest Rig? Are your tactical gear issues all tangled up, or are you just extremely curious about combat equipment? Where should you place your mag pouch and IFAK? There is a solution to your problems – the Gear Clinic!

• At the event, we will thoroughly go through different gear setups suitable for various purposes, from sports shooting to reservist activities.
• It's a good idea to bring your own gear to the clinic, which can be customized to better suit your needs with the help of our friendly and knowledgeable staff.
• If your Brutality plate carrier setup is still incomplete or you have other gear-related questions, now is your chance to hear from professionals on how to get your combat gear in order.
• If you are wondering about the NIR capabilities of your gear, you can also get these checked during the event with the help of a night vision device.

The Gear Clinic will be held at the Varusteleka store on August 19, 2024, 1600-2000hrs. Varusteleka can be found at Hankasuontie 11 A, 00390 Helsinki.
