The Tactical Hand-Warmer can be attached directly to your armor, hanging below your pouches or using its own simple waist belt. It has pockets for chemical handwarmers and can be cinched tight so that it takes up less space.

The M4 3 Mag Ranger Shingle sits closer to the vest than any other shingle I’ve seen. Additionally, it’s lined with high friction materials in order to ensure magazine retention.

The Petzl Nao was just released this month. It features reactive lighting. It incorporates a sensor that measures ambient light and instantly (7 lumens up to 355 lumens within a millisecond) adjusts to your surroundings. This means much lower battery usage.

In an emergency you can even power the light via two AA batteries.
