LBT has introduced the 9525 Riflemen’s Kit in OCP (MultiCam). It is manufactured from 500D Cordura which has cut the weight of the system and features the load carrying pouches and equipment needed for outside the wire use by Airmen.
The LBT 9525 Rifleman’s Kit is available from LBtinc.com or for unit purchase from ADSinc.com/LBT.
I was under the impression that GCS was the only AF-authorized manufacturer of this stuff now, and Eagle & LBT were out of it.
That is an incorrect impression.
Correct on being incorrect. The ABU version (Gen3) that has 5 sized harnesses and a couple of extra pouches are authorized for Security Forces through GCS via a central contract. GCS does also offer the Gen3 in Multicam both 500 and 1000D.
