I have a small autism for Ranger Body Armor. It's both aesthetically pleasing and an interesting intermediate technological step from "soft" Kevlar and flak vests to IBAs and the modern plate carriers of today.

Post RBAs, be they sets you own or just have pictures of.

Starting with some pics of RBAs used by the 101st Airborne Division when it deployed to Kosovo from 2000 to 2001

File deleted.

Is it just me or do RBA vests remind anyone else of the “chicken plate” vests from Vietnam?

It's all nostalgia but goddamn do I love the aesthetics of this era. BDUs, A2 rifles, and ALICE gear is my jam.

Can't be 100% certain with this one because of the shitty camera quality but I think the one in the foreground is wearing an RBA.

idk if these are RBAs since they're in black, but they seem to at least based on the same concept.
