We are beginning to see a lot more products on the market tailored specifically for working canines. Tactical Assault Gear has just released a new canine vest which is already in use by DOD canine teams, and various SRT as well as Border Patrol canine units.

The vest is constructed from 1000D Cordura and mesh panels. It also features rigger belt style adjustment straps with metal buckles for durability, a drag/carry handle, PALS webbing, as well as an adjustable camera mount. Due to the construction details, the vest can be used to secure the canine while rappelling and fast roping.

Gerber Artifact

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Gerber considers the Artifactâ„¢ a key chain tool due to its compact size. It features an removable #11 hobby blade, cross driver, small and medium flat drivers, wire stripper, pry bar/paint can opener and a key chain attachment hole. It also includes 3 replacement blades and blade holder. As it utilizes hobby blades one user has suggested that you could dispose of the blade and replace it later in case you run into issues at the airport but the other features may give reason for pause.
