Introducing the S.O.Tech ARVN Pack Redux

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022

ARVN REDUX – a combination of the old tried and true with modern technology – a reflection of SOTECH.

Respecting the calls for us to reintroduce our h-harnesses and belts, we recognized a trend to go back to the battle tested designs of the past. In doing so, we wanted to honor our beginnings by doing a reboot of an ALICE Pack predecessor – the ARVN Ranger Pack, a favorite of MACV-SOG and other SOF units.

At a base level, this is a hat tip to our early days modifying ALICE packs, but it’s much more significant than that. SOTECH started in a time when we were issued the same tired designs that barely evolved from World War Two through Korea and Vietnam and into the Cold War of the 80’s.
There was a creativity born from lessons from the field, and a handful of innovators started companies to modify and then create alternatives. In this vein, we took the day pack version of what would become the ALICE and modernized and modified the design with Tegris and improved cuts (the pack was designed for small-framed Vietnamese soldiers). The result is an EDC pack that takes you back to your days in BDUs every time you cinch that ribbed web through those metal tabler buckles.

Updates from the original:
-Updated 420D Nylon vs canvas. Same nylon as the Medium and Large ALICE packs
-Snap closure front 2 pockets for easier and faster access
-Hidden HDPE insert with foam backer for extra comfort
-Updated frame, from steel to modern laser cut Tegris
-Repositioned bottom shoulder strap ring to the side for extra comfort

Drops Friday 3/4 12pm PST. While supplies last, no backorders. $150. Use the following code at checkout for free shipping: asseenonssd

Safariland Introduces HyperX Tactical Vest HyperX Combines Maneuverability and Uncompromising Protection

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022

Jacksonville, Florida – Safariland® Armor, a brand of The Safariland Group®, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets and one of Cadre Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre”) key brands, announced today that it has released HyperX, a new tactical armor platform featuring in-conjunction armor design resulting in one of Safariland Armor’s lowest profile and lowest weight tactical offerings.

“Safariland prides itself on the life-saving capabilities provided by its armor platforms,” James Duncan, VP/GM of Armor for Safariland said. “HyperX is the latest innovation in tactical armor platforms, underscoring Safariland’s commitment to working with those who depend on protection from our products. In developing HyperX, Safariland worked with Fort Worth SWAT to design a tactical vest that combines protection with more reflexive freedom of movement.”

HyperX’s design is focused on high performing armor designs, combining the SX® and Hardwire® armor panel inserts with the IMPAC® P1 or C1 hard plates. HyperX provides the ultimate in lightweight, compact, and low-profile tactical armor design without compromising ballistic protection. The HyperX’s carrier platform accommodates SAPI plates (from small to extra-large), offering customizable ballistic rifle protection and mobility to meet the specific needs of individual operators.

The HyperX platform is also designed to integrate with communication systems via interior wire openings to prevent wires from tangling. Left and right detachable radio/rifle mag pockets can be positioned behind the cummerbund. Articulated and adjustable shoulders allow for enhanced mobility. Removable closure flaps allow for other closure system placards to be utilized for customized load outs. HyperX’s rear-zip-on MOLLE platforms can be removed while seated in vehicles, and the shock cord adjustable cummerbund allows for an extended range of adjustment that can be precisely placed to the operators’ preference. Combined with a range of available accessories such as ballistic groin, spine, throat, and bicep protection, the HyperX platform offers the ultimate in scalablility.

The HyperX platform comes in Black, Coyote Brown, Multicam, Navy, Ranger Green, Tactical Green, Gray and Tan. For more information, visit www.safariland.com/pages/hyperx-tactical-armor-system.

Enforce Tac 22 – Heckler & Koch HK433 Updates

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022

The polymer HK433 was initially envisioned as a replacement for the G36 rifle and incorporated some of the features of the HK416. Consequently, the controls on the lower receiver were a hybrid, in order to facilitate transition for customers using either rifle.

They’ve recently changed that direction and now offer dedicated G36 or HK416-style lowers. Here, you can see the G36-style lower.

You may see the 416-style referred to as the HK416E.

An upgrade to the HK433 is intended to assist with chamber checks.

They have introduced a thumb index so that you can get some purchase when conducting chamber check.

In the ejection port side are markings to let the shooter know how far to pull the boot carrier to the ear. Remember, these are intended for military issue.

Finally, the German Bundeswehr is anticipated to make its final procurement decision today regarding a replacement for the G36. You may recall that the Bundeswehr had initially planned to by the Haenel MK556 but a protest by H&K alleging patent infringement stopped the contract. Now, it appears that the German Army will join the KSK in issuing a variant of the HK416.
