Warrior Assault Systems Launching New A-TACS iX Pattern

Monday, July 18th, 2016

Warrior Assault Systems has been working closely with A-TACS Camo to launch their new A-TACS iX pattern for the Warrior Assault Systems product line.


Clint Hoover, Business Development at A-TACS Camo had the following statement to make while displays are now in place at Ranger Joe’s and Commandos retail stores in Columbus GA. We are really excited to get a read on the general public coming though and seeing the new A-TACS iX pattern. I can tell you that the initial comments from the store employees and management was very positive. Not only the floor managers; the leadership was impressed with the look and products. It is a big weekend here at Ft Benning with Family days, Infantry & Armor Graduations, Ranger School Graduation and other events. Staff at both stores said they will have thousands if not ten thousand people come thought their doors in a 5 day period. Tru Spec is really out front with a solid introduction of the TRU uniforms in A-TACS iX; and thanks to many of you, we have some awesome gear finishing the displays out.

You can also see some of the Warrior Assault Systems product line in recent movies, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi along with the History Channels new Series SIX. Companies Interested in carrying the Warrior Assault Systems product line can contact Chase Tactical at Suport@ChaseTactical.com.

New ACU Construction Available in MultiCam

Monday, July 18th, 2016

I have been waiting for this. Finally, someone has introduced the new ACU cut in the MultiCam camouflage pattern. As you know, the Army’s Operational Camouflage Pattern, popularly referred to as Scorpion is restricted to military sales only, while MultiCam is commercially available. But even more important, by the Army’s own patent, we know that MultiCam outperforms OCP.

Available exclusively at TacticalGear.com, the new ACU features all the updates made during the 2015 reinvention, including replacing hook-and-loop pockets with more discreet closures and a roomier upper-sleeve pocket.

    MATBOCK Monday – Jungle LIFT (J-LIFT)

    Monday, July 18th, 2016

    Over the next few weeks, we will be featuring the team from MATBOCK during our MATBOCK Monday series. The two founders Zach Steinbock and Sean Matson, have been in the industry for years and continue to find ways to innovate. MATBOCK is a Virginia Beach small business and we are excited to see where this featured series is going to lead us.

    A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit the MATBOCK team and they shared with me a new product that was sitting on their work table (fun fact: the tables in their shop are over 40 years old. They were in Sean’s grandmother’s custom drapery shop), the Jungle LIFT (J-LIFT). The J-LIFT is the latest product to join the family of products in the LIFT System. Developed to enhance the capability of the LIFT System, but also support a South American military unit.


    The Jungle is a tough environment and this litter is equally as tough. Made from neoprene coated nylon, it will not absorb water and strong enough to carry over 400lbs. Additionally, the litter can double as a hammock; however, we would recommend a bug net on the bottom and top. Lastly, the J-LIFT is compatible with the Combat Carbon Poles.


    3.5” Wide x 14 “ Long while stowed
    26” Wide x 78” Long when deployed

    Weight: 1.6lbs (with carrier)
    Weight with poles: 4.1lbs
