TYR Tactical is cranking out new products and here are two of their latest.
The Light Weight Assaulters Pack – ARC (TYR-LAP-ARC) is a mid-size pack that can be utilized for everyday carry and/or adapted to the back of the existing armor systems. The pack also features 2” padded lumbar support and modular belt loop. The inside compartment features a small cargo pouch to accommodate various operator items with room for additional kit. TYR has incorporated their proprietary PV material in abrasion point to reduce weight yet offer the strength and durability of Aramids.
Main Pack: 20”H x 11”W x 6”D
Front Pocket: 17”H x 9”W x 3”D
Weight: 2.6lbs
They’ve also introduced a new Ballistic Helmet Cover (TYR-OCHC-V1) designed to fit, you guessed it, the FAST Maritime Ops-Core Helmet which is becoming more and more popular. The design is a combination of 500D Codura and mesh and leaves complete access to the night vision mount and rail accessories. Loop and wire routing points are positioned to allow the wearer flexibility for management of cables and IFF.
Sized Small/Medium, Medium/Large and Large/Extra Large.

It seems as if all current manufacturers of helmet covers forget that we, the soldiers, still need the ability to attach natural concealment to our helmets, in order to break the outline up.
The idea of 550 cord bartacked to the top of the cover is great, but we need it to cover more of the helmet. Same thing with the mesh sides on other covers.
Additionally, seeing that MC loop is readily available, why not use it on a helmet cover in this price range?
I wonder if it would be too much to ask for a helmet cover that’ll fit the ACHs being used by everyone else.
First Spear has some covers for the ACH, similar to the FAST offerings.
