The ARC System is now available for pre-order direct from Orion Design Group. We checked it out at SHOT Show and it’s a pretty interesting rig. You can wear it for recce tasks, while hunting or fishing, as well as for a hike.
The ARC is a five-piece modular chest rig developed by Orion Design Group in collaboration with S&S Precision, and manufactured by Grey Ghost Gear. The ARC is centered around an optics pouch, capable of holding upwards of a large framed 10x binoculars, along with some small Thermal Imaging Devices. This pouch is accompanied by the yoke, side panels, and a small roll top minimalist pack. Offered in OGD Lupus or Crye Precision MultiCam.
For more details on the ARC System, check out the previous posts written about the system on SSD.
Aug, 31st 2015: Armour Wear, the leader in tactical products innovation has officially announced its newest entry into the industry; The Special Purpose/ Application Releasable Carrier (SPARC) Lite. The SPARC Lite plate carrier is a non-quick release version, of its most recently released hard use carrier (the SPARC). The SPARC Lite will still accommodate standard 10in X 12in hard plates, along with soft armor liners. The only difference is the SPARC Lite will be offered without the Quick Release Buckle (QRB) system (The SPARC Lite will still retain a two-step method of doffing). This will allow customers a deeper cost savings, while still enjoying all of the quality and features of the SPARC. The QRB system can then still be purchased later on by the user directly from Armour Wear.
Always having the consumer in mind, Armour Wear has the SPARC Lite rated at a $204.95 MSRP, and the QRB system at $99.95 MSRP.

3M Company, the manufacturer of PELTOR Branded Products, has the following product update for the 3M COMBAT HELMET PRODUCT.
As part of 3M’s continuous product improvements, 3M has approved D3O as a certified vendor for the supply of their TRUST 10ft/sec Helmet Pad System for immediate implementation into the 3M Combat Helmet Product Line for Law Enforcement (which was part of the MaxPro Armor line, acquired during the 3M acquisition of Ceradyne).
The 3M Combat Helmet, in combination with the D3O TRUST pads/configuration, has been tested and evaluated for blunt impact protection: in accordance w/ ECH Helmet Standard: GL-PD-09-04. The results show that less than 150 Gs Force are transmitted to the head at the specified locations and under the specified environmental conditions. This result meets the performance criteria set forth in the standard.
With this new performance, the 3M Combat Helmet sets itself apart from competition by providing an affordable helmet with 3 Levels of Protection: Blunt Impact (as stated above), Ballistic in accordance with NIJ Level IIIA (NIJ 0101.06) and Ballistic Fragmentation, tested in accordance w/ MIL-STD-662 and STANAG 2920. This make the 3M Combat Helmet a great choice a great choice for Law Enforcement Agencies looking for a Helmet to fulfill a multi-purpose role from active shooter to riot/crowd control.
In support of our “system approach” to our Helmet/Hearing protection solution, 3M has completed Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) testing for the 3M COMBAT Helmet w/ the 3M PELTOR COMTAC ARC Configuration headset. In accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974, the system has an NRR of 22db. This testing (in correlation with product testing to ANSI S12.42-2010) demonstrates that the headset and helmet – as a system – is a rated hearing protector that protects an operator from hazardous sounds associated with weapons fire.
