The Merline Roll Up Packable Backpack from Tactical & Survival Specialties Inc is unlike anything I’ve seen in the tactical arena. Boasting a 1680 cu in load capacity it is very lightweight and rolls up into a small package when not in use and can be stowed in your other gear until needed.

Not only does it integrate a vertical daisy chain along the back to attach gear but it also incorporates an internal hydration bladder sleeve as well as a fully functional lid with zippered pocket and dual mesh water bottle pockets on either side at the hem.

The Parachutist High Altitude Thermal Suit from Airborne Systems does exactly what its name implies. It’s cold at high altitude and parachutists can find themselves in free fall or under canopy for long periods of time in those conditions. This suit is designed to allow a parachutists to safely free fall and then survive the cold.

Gentex Mission Configurable Helmet Cover Follow Up

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

Since some folks didn’t believe that the Mission Configurable Helmet Cover is real, I wanted to follow up with this video shot yesterday at AUSA.

This thing is ingenious. It allows you to take a standard, slick ACH (of which there are well over 1 million out there) and, once you have mounted the Mission Configurable Helmet Cover, you have an Ops-Core VAS Shroud and ARC Rail mounted on the helmet. Need to go back to a slick helmet for an admin jump or to turn it in? Take the cover off.

Gentex tells me you will be able to order the cover by size and pattern and then specify which accessories you want mounted including color of accessories and whether or not you want pile tape on the cover.
