Mayflower Low-Vis E&R Bag

Thursday, January 31st, 2013

Mayflower knows how to build an E&R bag and now they’ve upped their game with the official release of their Low-Vis model. This grab and go bag looks like pretty much any mild mannered computer bag. But it’s designed specifically to carry the tools to get you safely out of Dodge and back home.

The main compartment will carry a 15″ screen lap top computer or smaller but it does so much more. In addition to a removable shoulder strap there is a fixed carrying handle as well as two external open top stash pouches and two external flat pouches that combined, are designed to discretely carry seven M4 or similar sized magazines. The top flap is designed to carry maps or other 8 1/2″ x 11″ documents in a zippered enclosure and also features a flip out velcro IFF panel for attaching flags, IR devices etc. Internally the Low-Vis E&R Bag is divided into one large pile velcro lined pocket and two small compartments with d-rings for securing essential equipment.

Made in the USA, the Low-Vis E&R Bag is available in these nondescript colors: Grey, Black, Dark Blue, Dark Green.

ATS Legion Cobra Belt

Thursday, January 31st, 2013

The ATS Legion Cobra Belt uses the industry standard AustriAlpin Cobra buckle for both ease of use and incredible strength. The Cobra buckle is rated to 11kN, which is over 2470 pounds of force. In order to make use of that strength, they built the belt from Type 13 Mil Spec parachute-grade webbing, stitching it together with 69 pound nylon thread.

The belt is reinforced with a 4 inch long “W” stitch and has a forged parachute hardware-grade, 316 Stainless Steel Triangle Link for personal retention lanyard tie-ins. To increase the strength even more, they’ve added 5 lengthwise stitches, which also enhance the stiffness somewhat. The end of the belt has been rounded and sealed so the running end won’t snag.

The Legion Cobra Belt is offered in Coyote Brown with matching buckle, or in Ranger Green and Black, both with Black buckles. They’re Made in the USA! and covered by the ATS Gear lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

Sized Small: 33″-36.5″ Med. 37.5″-42″ Large: 43″-44.5″ XL: 45.5″-49″
