I use both the hybrid helmet cover for my Ops-Core FAST Ballistic Helmet as well as the Helmet Hut to store it and its accessories. I recommend them both.

ITW Military Products Picatinny QASM Ramp
Monday, May 21st, 2012During SHOT Show ITW Military Products showed us a prototype of a new Quick Attach Surface Mount buckle that features a section of Mil Std 1913 rail. Intended to facilitate the attachment of incident cameras to armor vests and other MOLLE platforms, the Rail QASM can also be used to store weapon accessories inside storage bags or to mount them to other platforms.
The base is a little wider than other QASM buckles but this is to stabilize items such as cameras and lights, which will be heavier than nylon gear.
Manufacturers and suppliers interested in integrating the Picatinny QASM Ramp into their line please contact ITW Military Products.
Crye Precision Expanding Operations at Brooklyn Navy Yard
Monday, May 21st, 2012Crye Precision is expanding their operations at their home in the Brooklyn Navy Yard as one of the new tenants in the recently announced $46 Million Green Manufacturing Center. This will reportedly more than double their current space and number of employees.
A press release from the New York Governor’s office contained this information:
Crye Precision – a premier designer and manufacturer of body armor and apparel for the U.S. military as well as federal and state law enforcement agencies – which was awarded $1 million through the New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process, has agreed to become one of two lead tenants at the new Green Manufacturing Center. Crye currently operates in four separate spaces at the Navy Yard, with 110 employees, and will now lease 80,000 square feet, consolidating multiple sites into one central location. Crye decided to expand in the Navy Yard after considering numerous options for consolidation and expansion, including New Jersey.
The company’s expansion into the Green Manufacturing Center will create 100 new jobs over the next five years. Crye also has several commercial product lines under development; one uses locally recycled materials that are converted into fabrics.
Crye Precision Executive Director Caleb Crye, said, “The Navy Yard has been exactly what our business needed to grow and we are thrilled that our future will remain here. We started here a decade ago with 4,500 square feet, today we’re up to 45,000 square feet with more than 100 employees and when the new facility is complete we’ll have a more efficient operation with room to grow and add at least 100 new jobs.”

Monday, May 21st, 2012Blast from the Past – Mystery Cinch
Sunday, May 20th, 2012We constantly attract new readers at SSD so every once in awhile we go back into the archives and resurrect an old post. When the Mystery Cinch was first released it was shockingly simplistic. Now, it is more poignant than ever since being adopted as part of the USMC FILBE pack. Once you look at this video you will hit yourself in the forehead with your palm and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” In fact, simplicity might be its elegance, but it has garnered Mystery Ranch a patent.
Designed to work with any pack, the Mystery Cinch routes the straps close to the center of of the chest and prevents the straps from creeping up under the arm. Additionally, pack straps don’t adjust tight like they would during normal wear so when released from the Mystery Cinch they fall right off the arm. Its single motion, quick-release design sheds the pack smoothly. Because the Mystery Cinch uses the armor’s PALS grid it offers the flexibility to accommodate a variety of armor vests, pouch configurations, and pack straps.
