With the FCSR (Fighting Clearing Standing Reconaissance) webbing system, Pivotal Defence Solutions looked to design a belt order kit which would allow the operator to carry out the four types of patrolling: Fighting, Clearing, Standing, and Reconnaissance.
To this end, they developed a series of individual pouches which are designed to fit any standard 45mm/50mm belt. The pouches are secured using an envelope system, which creates a double-padded hip pad, and also allows for ballistic protection to be integrated into the pad to form a blast belt. This customizable design means that if at any point any of the component pouches are damaged or mission requirements change, they can easily be replaced without disrupting the rest of the pouches; the pouches join side-by-side using a MOLLE strip, which keeps the shape of the belt kit around the operator’s body and stops unwanted movement during dynamic action.
The FCSR line is constructed from quality military specification materials which are treated for being rot proof, UV resistant, infrared and fire resistant. Additionally, each pouch is lined and comes with storm hoods and drainage holes. Currently, Pivotal Defence is offering the FCSR pouches in the following configurations:
– LMG/A2 commanders pouches
– Standard utility pouches
– Butt pouch
– Dump bag
– MBITR pouch
– Bayonet frog
– Rip away medic’s pouches
– Side arm holsters
– Various magazine pouches, as well as 7.62mm and 5.56mm link pouches
Additionally, Pivotal Defence has also built two yolks for the FCSR line. The first is an H-yolk which features an integral bladder pouch on the back. The second is an adjustable mesh and webbing vest which can take a rear plate and has the ability to don a front plate bag using G-hooks and M/F clips.
Thought about something along these lines a few weeks ago…damn 😉
great minds think alike felix…….we patent the idea a couple of years ago when we had the same eureka moment as you did. we’ve got another great idea coming out soon which I hope you’ll like.
I wish you good luck on this Ben, if you are looking for support in Germany feel free to contact me via our Website (www.lupus-tmr.com).
Cheers Felix I’ll give you a shout. Speak soon mate
Coyote Molle webbing/tape?
Stefan, a complete multi cam system is something we are looking at for future production runs.
I’m seeing some great features here, I like the padding integrated with the pouch and the lateral support straps. Could offer some advantages over the standard bulky battle belts.
Luke, this system was designed for comfort, breathability and administration for long periods of patrolling in the jungle. when the kit is set up, it sits neatly on the hips with very little lateral movement.
Blackhawk BTS rides again
I think that separated padded panels wouldnt work so well as a one-piece wide stiff belt because there is no weight distribution on hips and pouches with panels can move around each other (speaking about long patrols). It will be comfortable in terms of ventilation and softness.
Stepan:
It works because all the pouches are mollied side by side, which gives its strength. along with the snug fit of the belt. Molleing the pouches side by side encourages the belt system to curve, so it hugs to your hips all the way round. Its a great set of kit for contact drills in the jungle, again thats what it was designed for.
is it me or does the website not work right
Blue:
Its not you mate, we have our new website under construction, unfortunately we have to keep the old one up to keep an online presence. Hopefully should be ready soon.
