Brokos Belt

A1A7A371-93BF-4870-AC16-80BA0B4F1BF5

Dan originated the Brokos Belt and they’ve been made by a few companies over the years. But in this case, he has modernized the design for this new version from Armageddon Gear.

It’s only 3” wide and incorporates laser cut PALS compatible slots. Designed to work as either a standalone piece using the Tweave-covered padded liner belt (included) or in conjunction with the Velcro loop-faced inner belt, the Armageddon Gear Brokos Belt is lined with hook Velcro for stability. The polymer-reinforced outer belt is covered in a laser-cut Cordura laminate material that is segmented for use with belt-mounted holsters and other gear.

Widget Wednesday:  PTX Vest Power Manager, VPM-402

Wednesday, April 25th, 2018

The PTX VPM-402 is the intelligent, rugged, “man-worn”, combined data and power management solution.

The VPM’s smart USB hub interconnects user-worn data-enabled devices, as well as enabling their constant operability from a single battery. The VPM manages data pass through, prioritizes battery usage, reports power levels, and automatically alerts the operator to any issues. And because it integrates data and power in a single device, it eliminates the need for separate power and data cables –reducing The Battery Burden and streamlining the user’s gear load.

The VPM-402 uses standard USB protocols to pass data between connected devices – regardless of manufacturer – providing backward and forward technology integration. Like its “big brother, the Squad Power Manager, the Vest Power Manager also scavenges from any available power source – vehicle, aircraft, solar, etc. – to power devices and charge batteries.

Originally developed as a central component for the US Marine Corps’ “Marine Austere Patrolling System” program, the compact-sized VPM-402’s full-sized power and data management capability is now in use among JTAC and other extended fires teams with US and Partner Nation forces.
