Honor Point makes some cool stuff and they make it right here in he USA. Here is a photo of their upcoming range bag in Kryptek Highlander. Looks great doesn’t it?
As you can see, the range bag accommodates a pistol case. Inside are dividers that can be reconfigured.
In addition to a cleaning mat, there is a surprise hidden in one of the exterior pockets.

It’s interesting to me that it seems like more and more companies are offering products in the kryptek patterns and less and less is being seen of the other finalists.
And I am not sure what that means if anything, but I am becoming more and more impatient to find out what camo if any will replace the ACUs.
Not sure if the appearance of the Kryptek stuff in the marketplace is meaningful. In fact, it could be a signal that Kryptek already knows it’s out of the game. The largest contract outfit to go Kryptek is LBT, a company with a sterling reputation for niche gear–that doesn’t do much work for the Army, save for niche workups for “special” and “specialized” organizations. If any of the other major players were spinning up with Kryptek, I’d see more meaning.
Reading between the lines of the solicitation, it seems like commercial presence/availability/proliferation of a candidate pattern is actually detrimental to its potential selection. Given the arc that Multicam traveled, Crye’s ABSOLUTE REFUSAL to even show their submissions in public makes sense. My sense is that Brookwood is playing the same game.
The other entity running a ground game is ADS/Kramer with the US4CES stuff (to include promotional pieces like those Camelbak packs) that’s appeared at meetings, events and conventions where heavy hitters and decision makers congregate. But again, zero commercial availability.
.02 from a spectator on the sidelines. Time will tell.
Nobody knows anything. I commend the Army for keeping this secret for so long.
The solicitation does not hamper a company’s ability to market their patterns. Essentially, Crye’s is already on the backs of Soldiers downrange so there is currently no reason to step up marketing as both domestic and international demand remains high. Kryptek is a straight up commercial entity with zero connections to the military market and they are doing what a commercial entity does, market their product. In fact, they’ve held way back considering the amount of interest in the Kryptek patterns. ADS is not in the business of selling products on the open market and their behavior reflects this. Lastly, Brookwood has been very close hold about their patterns, waiting to see what happens. I have photos of all three patterns but Brookwood will not give me permission to publish them. They gave me excellent access but they want to see what the Army decides.
Cav, we are all waiting.
