It’s not really a new forum, but it is a new look and feel for the popular EOTAC forum as it goes through a rebranding (not EOTAC, just the forum). All of the topics are still there but you will begin to see the breadth of info increase. Not being content with “just” on designing tactical clothing, the founder of EOTAC has a project in the works that Soldier Systems readers will like. More on that to follow soon. But in the mean time, he has re-launched the forum he previously started in preparation for the new project.

Have you seen this thing? If not, you need to stop by Paladin’s booth #31017E at this week’s Outdoor Retailer Summer market in Salt Lake City, Utah. Based on S.O. Tech designs, Paladin products are manufactured off-shore in order to mitigate costs for those who don’t require Berry compliance such as the recreational and LE markets. With the Panel Pack they have hit a home run. This pack is awesome. Designed as a modular hanging panel, it can be zipped closed and carried over-the-shoulder, pack-style. In the brochure Paladin gives a couple of ideas on how to configure the Panel Pack but those are just really the tip of the iceberg. In fact, it’s use is only limited by your imagination due to the interchangeable pockets.
Feature laden, the Panal Pack has a large external mesh pocket for items like jackets, helmets, fins, etc. as well as an external flat zippered pocket for booklets, medical records, or emergency documents. Additionally, it will accommodate a hydration bladder in the flex mesh external back pocket. There are also external loops for poles and tools as well as a clear vinyl “window pocket†for packing lists or ID.
Wilson Combat has just unveiled their latest undertaking; custom ammunition! Bill Wilson has been handloading and sending rounds down range for decades and decided to put everything he’s learned to good use. His philosophy can be summed up below:
“I’ve been reloading ammunition since 1966 and over the years feel like I have become a knowledgeable and experienced handloader. Over the years I have handloaded over a million rounds for my own use plinking, hunting, self-protection and competition shooting. By producing and shooting this volume of ammunition I’ve learned how to develop maximum performance loads for a variety of uses. I’m using this knowledge and experience now to develop high performance loads for the new Wilson Combat line of self-defense and competition ammunition. I think you will find this ammunition to be very accurate, reliable and to deliver Peerless Performance.â€
President / CEO – Wilson Combat

Ammo is available in a variety of calibers. Look for additional details at ammo.wilsoncombat.com.

Pro Med Kits developed this CSAR ruck specifically for the Air Force PJs. For those of you who don’t know, CSAR stands for Combat Search and Rescue and that what the PJ’s life is all about, rescuing isolated personnel from certain capture at the hands of our adversaries. Since their mission is so demanding, they use very specialized equipment. Based on the popular Medium ALICE pack, the CSAR ruck is intended for down the hoist operations. It accepts MOLLE pouches and can be fitted to an ALICE frame which, as you can see leaves ample room for Hurst tools or litters. Additionally, it comes with a removable jump harness.
Berry compliant, the CSAR Ruck is available in Coyote and MultiCam. To order, visit www.promedkits.com.

Right after SHOT Show, Galls, a company traditionally considered a Law Enforcement supplier, set in motion a plan to provide equipment and clothing solutions to military and federal agencies. It isn’t that they weren’t already serving these communities, it’s just that they stood up a division dedicated specifically to these clients and to providing the products they need. The result of this effort is Galls Government Ops which offers a variety of procurement options to support organizational purchases. Additionally, you will notice several new brands to Galls including SSD favorites Vertx, Mayflower, and Velocity Systems.
