Wednesday, February 12th, 2014

modgatorload

The modGATOR is Extreme Gear Lab’s dedicated AK magazine chest rig. A variant of the GATOR 5 mag chest rig, the modGATOR differs from the GATOR in that the TQ attachment webbing from below the magazine pockets, zippered accessory pockets, and tearaway medical pouch is removed.

What’s left is a functional, lightened chest rig that can hold 5 AK-47/74 magazines, a general purpose pocket, STUFFIT pocket, and 6 pistol/multitool pockets. The general purpose pocket can hold an MS2000 strobe, 4″ dressing, and pocket signal banner. The STUFFIT pocket can lie flat or expand outward, accomodating up to M18 smoke cans, PRC148/152 radios, or X26 tasers. The pistol mag pockets are sized to accomodate up to Glock 21 mags. On either side of the magazine assemblies are skeletonized PALS to reduce weight while maintaining full capacity.

It Was Bound To Happen

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014

You may remember in “Batman: The Dark Knight” that the Joker arises as an evil to counter the good of Batman. And so it goes. Good must have bad, dark have light, winter its summer, and on and on. Now, it’s come to Facebook which spawned Operator as F***, a page that amassed a whopping 150k ‘likes’ in the span of months with its jovial attempt to take the piss out of being serious. But it was only a matter of time before someone created its opposite.

AAF

It’s real all right.

Arc’teryx LEAF – Alpha Gen 2 Program

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014

Unveiled at SHOT Show, the newly redesigned Alpha Gen 2 line from Arc’teryx LEAF is a bit of all right.

Consisting of three items, the Alpha Gen 2 line includes the Jacket, Pant and Pant Bib. All offer new features and new fabrics. Arc’teryx talks about No Compromises when they discuss these new products and I agree. They are more elegant than their predecessors and you can see the innovation and craftsmanship that went into the redesign.

Alpha Jacket Gen 2

Take for example the Alpha Jacket Gen 2. For one thing, they’ve shed weight and done with through an entirely new design approach which includes fewer seams and narrower seam tape, glued-in zippers and lighter fabric in the hood of the Alpha Jacket. You may notice that the Alpha Parka is no longer in the line but some of that longer length has been incorporated into the design of the Gen 2 model. Additionally, the new streamlined neck combines with a StowHood™ that uses the more compact MN40p-X GORE-TEX®3L fabric to fit neatly inside the collar and sit against the neck without bulk. Internally, vertically routed hem drawcords minimize interference with the duty belt and media ports allow for internal routing of communications cables. Offered in Black, Crocodile, Wolf and MultiCam.

Alpha Pant Gen 2Alpha Bib Pant Gen 2

The Pant and Bib both feature glued pockets and waterproof side zips that route aft of the knee allowing movement with the zips open.
