FirstSpear Friday Focus – Overlap Cummerbund

For this week’s FirstSpear Friday, we take a look at a brand new product: the Overlap Cummerbund.

FS_Overlap_RagnarPockets

Developed at the request of a FS Professional User, the Overlap Cummerbund is designed to provide additional overlapping soft armor at the front side of the plate carrier where the Tubes closure system meets. The additional soft armor tucks in behind the Tubes allowing full opening and closing of the vest.

The Overlap Cummerbund has been modified so that the body side allows for the attachment of Ragnar Pockets. This means that magazines and other items can be held in close to the body, providing a more streamlined silhouette, a benefit to users who are working in or from a vehicle, conducting tubular assaults, or who simply wish to carry more magazines than a traditional front loading carrier would allow.

Main Features:

  • Soft armor inserts extend behind the tube and overlap the body of the plate carrier, while still allowing full functionality of the Tube system.
  • Body side of cummerbund now has loop allowing you to attach pockets from the Ragnar Pocket Suite (our full Velcro backed pockets)
  • The back bungee cord has been replaced with Velcro and stretch material.
  • FS_OverlapCummerbundOpen

    The Overlap Cummerbund is going to be offered immediately as an upgrade to existing FirstSpear carriers, such as the Strandhögg, and will offered in limited colors and quantities.

      Very smart on the pouches, looking forward to stocking this!

      Looks pretty nice – I’m curious to see a video showing the durability of the holes where 6-12 or molle gear is attached to the main panel. Is it made out of a rip-stop type of material?

      Molle is heavier but the stitching is what makes it strong and durable.

      A video showing the durability of this would be nice.
