The Tactical Reloader Dump Pouch from High Ground features a slightly tapered design so that its easier to retrieve partially spent magazines. The roll up design can be worn on MOLLE or standard belts and the easy-pull cinch cord is designed so you only need one hand to close or open the pouch, letting you keep one hand on your weapon at all times. Finally, there’s elastic inside and out.
Berry compliant and made from 500D Cordura, the Tactical Reloader Dump Pouch is available in MultiCam, Ranger Green, Coyote Brown, UCP and Coyote Tan.
SORD USA has stripped away some of the extras from their of their popular standard field uniform to introduce a lightweight version. The MultiCam Jacket and Field Pant are manufactured from 50/50 NYCO Ripstop and the A-TACS AU version is 52/48 NYCO Ripstop. There is also a solid Tan version featuring a lightweight 100% cotton.
To save weight, SORD has cut the number of pockets on the jacket from 9 to 3. It features a 2 chest pocket design with no bicep pockets. Additionally, there is a 3rd pen pocket on the left side of the chest.
In the light variant, the pants have gone from from 10 to 6 which include 2 cargo pockets, plus integrated front hip and rear pockets on each side of the pant. Additionally, the seat is not reinforced. Sizing for the pants range from Small to Extra Large and the jackets fit large for their size.
I think one thing needs to be made crystal clear. The main stream media is beginning to pick up on the story that the Army is evaluating camouflage as part of the PEO Soldier sponsored Army Camouflage Improvement Effort. It must be made brutally clear that this effort may not result in a new family of camouflage patterns at all for the Army and the sponsor has not made any claims to the contrary.
What is supposed to happen is that the effort should result in a set of recommendations for Army leaders. It’s up them to decide the Army’s course of action. In fact, earlier this year I had the opportunity to ask a single question of MG Tony Cucolo, the Director of Force Development at the G8. Naturally, my question involved the replacement for UCP and whether the Army was ready to program $5 Billion over the FYDP to recapitalize camouflage. The answer didn’t do much to instill confidence. “They’re working on something down there at PEO Soldier,” came the reply.

Available in Small – XXLarge, this graphic T captures the essence of the graphic novel ‘Black Powder Red Earth’ with a full frontal panel with additional printing on the sleeve and back. BPRE has attained a cult-like following through a combination of a distinctive visual style and an excruciatingly researched storyline that creates a world so real you can feel yourself living it. Combat Veterans too appreciate the realism depicted in the vignettes that are based on real world events. Show your support.
The new Aegis ECHO and ECHO Compact from Smith Optics Elite Division were designed specifically to be compatible with hearing protection/ communications systems. The Aegis ECHO features a distortion free, anti-fog optical lens that meets US Mil Spec MIL-PRF-31013 and ANSI Z87.1 standards and provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.
As you can see from this photo, the earpieces are the secret to the design at a scant .6mm thick. This is the lowest profile temple in the industry and crafted from stainless steel making them rigid yet adjustable. These earpieces allow you to get as close to the head as possible without breaking the seal on the headset or causing a hotspot or worse yet, a headache.
The first time I saw the Marker Panel, Individual, LW (as in lightweight) from Battle Systems, LLC I said to myself, “Self, why hasn’t anyone done this before?” I already knew that Battle Systems offers some bad ass tape in the form of Vinyl Tape, Coyote Brown so their dedication to quality is for me, without question. The MPIL is a great alternative to carrying a full-size VS-17 panel. Most folks just don’t need the whole thing and cut them down to size for individual use. Even then, the material doesn’t pack down well. The Marker Panel, Individual, LW on the other hand does.
It is so compact, it literally fits the palm of your hand and folds out to 16″ x 16″ with orange and pink sides just like a full-size VS-17. There are 550 loops in each corner to facilitate mounting the MPIL to gear or for use in conjunction with others for DZ and LZ marking. It can also be used to mark vehicles. Battle Systems uses the National Molding Large Poli Bina Clips to attach the MPIL to equipment. Finally, each side of the MPIL has a color matched Velcro loop patch to accept a removable 2″ x 2″ IR reflective square patch.
As you can see from this photo, the MPIL REALLY reflects light and we had to tone down the photo a little so you could look at it.
The currently available MPIL Mk I’s are assembled in the USA from a combination of US and foreign materials but that was just s stopgap to get these rolling. They don’t have enough on hand to even remotely approach the Berry threshold. The Mk II will be available very soon, manufactured entirely of US materials.
