Grey Ghost Gear will soon be introducing Karrimor SF to the US with products of both UK- and US-origin. Tactical Tailor will manufacture the Berry compliant packs and LBE, which Grey Ghost will distribute.
Grey Ghost is a ‘boutique’ manufacturer of tactical gear based in Idaho. Karrimor SF is a serious European brand dating back to just after World War II with the large move towards post-war outdoor rec. The SF line has been around since 1995 and is well known in Commonwealth military circles.
It’s really exciting for me to be able to share this with you as it has literally been in the works for the past year. During last Summer Outdoor Retailer the two companies met and saw an instant fit. Call it kismet or just plain old hard work, but the two struck a deal that benefits all. Finally, we will be able to purchase Karrimor SF’s designs here in he US and if we’re lucky, maybe even see a few new ones.
The Grey Ghost/Karrimor packs will be available in the industry standard camouflage patterns you would expect and possibly a few you don’t.
You’ll be able to buy the Karrimor SF it at www.greyghostgear.com; watch for news on when it will be released on their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/greyghostgear. Karrimor SF is on line at karrimorsf.com.

Good stuff. Karrimor makes excellent products (gear & apparel).
Now if only US made gear would be more available in Europe. (And I’m not talking Condor here). The stuff that is available is often priced ridiculously high.
For example, take a look here..

It’s all about the EU tariffs and actual cost of shipping from CONUS. Need to find European manufacturers who can make licensed US equipment.
About time Karrimor came over to the US!!! Great packs.
AMEN!
This is really good news. The Karrimor products are really well thought out and are offered at a very competitive price point. It still amazes me when a G.I. purchases an Asian made pack because it’s $5 cheaper and has “more pockets on it”.
Oh well, “a fool and his money are soon parted . . .”
