Deadly Customs Ride Along System ( R.A.S)
Deadly Customs Ride Along System (R.A.S.) – Modular Tactical Gear Expansion
The Deadly Customs Ride Along System ( R.A.S)., is a fully modular platform designed to expand the carrying capacity of your chest rig, plate carrier, or tactical vest. Built from high-quality materials and engineered for versatility, the Deadly Customs Ride Along System ( R.A.S) allows users to easily attach additional gear to platforms that are typically restricted in storage options. Whether you are a professional operator, tactical enthusiast, or airsoft player, this system provides the flexibility to adapt your loadout to the demands of your mission or activity.
Designed for Modular Adaptability
One of the standout features of the Ride Along System is its modular design. Unlike traditional accessory panels that are fixed in configuration, the R.A.S. was created from the ground up with adaptability in mind. The system can be installed on either the left or right side of a rig, or on both sides simultaneously, providing maximum flexibility in organizing and carrying essential gear.
By sliding the R.A.S. between the Velcro layers of your rig, you gain a secure platform for carrying items such as smoke grenades, medical supplies, or magazine carriers. Pre-installed retention bungees hold soft or flexible items firmly in place, preventing unwanted movement during high-intensity activities. For more rigid equipment, the system comes with precision-mounted screws to securely attach compatible pistol or 40mm magazine carriers from Deadly Customs, or other similar gear that features standard mounting holes.
Premium Materials and Construction
The Ride Along System is constructed entirely from genuine 2mm P1 Kydex, a material renowned for its strength, durability, and resilience under demanding conditions. Each panel is hand-formed from custom-designed molds in the UK, ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish for every unit produced. The rigidity of the Kydex provides a stable attachment point, so items remain secure even during rapid movement or heavy activity.
Additionally, the mirrored design of the system allows a single unit to function on either side of your platform, simplifying inventory and making it easier to standardize your setup across multiple rigs. This feature is particularly valuable for professionals and enthusiasts who operate multiple loadouts or need to quickly adapt their equipment configuration in the field.
Installation and Setup
Installing the Ride Along System is quick and straightforward, requiring no specialized tools. Simply slide the R.A.S. behind the Velcro layer of your chest rig or plate carrier. Soft items can be held securely using the integrated retention bungees, while more rigid attachments are secured using the included screws.
The system is designed to integrate seamlessly with most Velcro-equipped rigs. Its low-profile construction ensures that additional gear does not interfere with mobility, while the secure attachment points prevent unwanted movement or slippage during use.

What is Kydex? Understanding the Material Behind Modern Tactical Gear
Kydex is a high-performance thermoplastic material widely used in the production of holsters, knife sheaths, tactical gear, and protective equipment. First developed in the 1960s, Kydex combines durability, rigidity, and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for applications where strength and form retention are critical. It belongs to the acrylic-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) family of plastics and is valued for its unique combination of physical properties that allow it to be both strong and easily molded.
One of the defining characteristics of Kydex is its thermoformability. When heated, the material becomes pliable and can be shaped to fit a wide variety of objects, from firearms and knives to modular gear panels. Once cooled, it retains the exact shape it was molded to, providing a perfect custom fit for the item it is designed to hold. This feature makes Kydex particularly popular in the production of holsters and magazine carriers, where precise retention and consistent performance are essential.
In addition to its thermoformable qualities, Kydex is extremely durable. It is resistant to impact, cracking, and deformation, even under demanding conditions. Unlike softer plastics or fabrics, Kydex does not easily warp when exposed to heat or pressure, ensuring long-term reliability. The material is also resistant to moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure, which makes it suitable for use in outdoor or tactical environments where gear is frequently exposed to harsh conditions.
Kydex also offers excellent retention properties, which is why it is a top choice for holster and sheath manufacturing. By precisely molding the material to the contours of a firearm, knife, or other tool, Kydex ensures that the item is held securely while still allowing smooth, quick deployment when needed. Adjustable retention screws can further fine-tune how tightly the item fits, giving users control over draw speed and security.
Another benefit of Kydex is its low-maintenance nature. Unlike leather, which can require regular conditioning to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking, Kydex is virtually maintenance-free. It is easy to clean, lightweight, and durable enough to withstand years of rigorous use without losing its structural integrity or performance.
Overall, Kydex has become the material of choice for tactical gear manufacturers, knife makers, and firearm enthusiasts due to its unmatched combination of durability, precision molding, moisture resistance, and ease of maintenance. Its unique properties make it a versatile and reliable solution for anyone seeking long-lasting, high-performance gear.
Summary:
The Deadly Customs Ride Along System (R.A.S.) is the ultimate modular expansion for chest rigs and plate carriers.
