At SOFIC, Rogue Gunfighter showed a completely new product, unlike anything they’ve done before. The Low Vis Chest Rig accommodates up to 8 magazines or smoke/flashbang grenades in the elastic pockets which include retention pull tabs that are height adjustable via Velcro.

Berry compliant, it’s manufactured from 500D Cordura, nylon mesh and elastic and incorporates a fully adjustable Velcro front closure that is very easy to use and is adaptable for use with a variety of clothing and equipment. You don’t have to adjust a bunch of buckles if it’s winter or you are throwing it on over soft armor. You just put it on and close the Velcro front opening. A 1/8″ shock cord adjustment system in the back will flex to give you a great fit.

The LVCR features a wide, Y-style yoke that evenly distributes weight. It also features plenty of loop for IFF and other patches. The fully adjustable yoke also includes D-rings and webbing on either side to secure or attach additional items.

You may find that the elastic waist section is similar to a cummerbund and meets in the back inside a Cordura sleeve which has a PALS field to attach pockets. This sleeve also serves to protect the elastic drawstring.

Coming July 1st from Rogue Gunfighter in Coyote, Ranger Green and Black.

Panacis Energy SharePack

The Energy SharePack is a revolutionary new portable lithium ion device capable of flexible energy storage, power management, and energy harvesting.

Panacis Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of a revolutionary new product called the Energy SharePack™, which provides a complete power solution for the dismounted warfighter in a single, smart lithium ion device using universal, bi-directional power ports.

For all militaries, reducing the burden on the dismounted warfighter and providing sufficient energy to power all the warfighter’s devices are top priorities for fighting effectiveness, ergonomics, and logistics reasons. SharePack is Panacis’ solution to addressing all these elements.

SharePack provides flexible energy storage, power management, and energy harvesting in a multi-port, 2 lb package that can easily be adapted to a wide range of mission scenarios:

– Store – it stores energy internally as a rechargeable battery.

– Deliver – it powers one or more devices at the same time.

– Harvest – it charges directly from many sources without the need for an intermediary device.

– Share – it combines energy automatically with other SharePacks to increase capacity and power output.

SharePack can take energy from anywhere; not a joule need be wasted.

SharePack’s multi-function capability improves “efficiency of energy use”, which means that the individual warfighter and the squad can carry less spares and use less cabling. Recharging can be performed directly from energy sources in the immediate environment, e.g. solar blankets, military vehicle power, DC generators, and even partially used batteries that would normally be discarded.

The flexibility of the SharePack means that users can manage their
own power needs and wear the device(s) where most comfortable.

SharePack comes in two form factors, which fit standard issue military pouch sizes to allow use of existing load carriage equipment. An LCD provides detailed information about the system such as state of charge, time to empty, and mode of operation (charging, discharging, scavenging).
