placement of the holster on the pa- nel, the cant, and the belt on which the whole thing is mounted. The CHAS™ Base is a long solid panel made of thick carbon fiber la- minate with pre-drilled adjustment holes and loops. Attached to it is a smaller double-sided trapezoid- -shaped Leg Panel (thin carbon fiber laminate) for thigh stabilizing strap with adjustment buckle. Strap is either elastic nylon with silicone anti-slip strips (solid colors) or witho- ut anti-slip (Multicam and Ranger Green). The CHAS™ Base attached to the main belt with four screws through the carbon mounting grommet that allow adjusting the Base to different belts (in terms of width and thick- ness). The last part is a thermopla- stic spacer made of thermoplastic which attaches the holster to the Base. Kit comes with all the necessa- ry screws (also in different sizes) and a tiny bottle of thread locker. There are two more optional modu- les that can be added to the CHAS™. The first is the CHAS™ TQ Holder, a holder for a tourniquet. It has a design similar to a Leg Panel and is made of a thin carbon fiber lamina- te. Its shape is also similar, but it is elongated at the bottom and has an elastic webbing "tunel" that holds the tourniquet. The TQ holder is attached to the bottom part of the Base with the screws. Next item is the CHAS™ Pad Set, which is a trapezoid comfort pad at- tached to the inside of the Leg Panel to improve the comfort of wearing the whole thing. It allows you to attach a comfort pad made of 1 cm thick foam from the inside (adjacent to the thigh) of the Leg Panel. It comes in pairs. www.fragoutmag.com
