As military operatives, we know that the battleground doesn’t always adhere to the convenience of dry conditions.

Its three size options cater to the diverse needs of military units, ensuring that no mission is compromised by inadequate gear storage.

Gear integrity is non-negotiable for SEALs, Marines, and maritime teams navigating unforgiving terrains. The genesis of the MR Dry 2.0 emerges from the necessity of safeguarding mission-critical equipment against the elements on the frontline. Its innovative design shields gear from moisture and debris and streamlines accessibility and organization—a game-changer for those operating in wet and demanding
conditions.

In the crucible of combat, where success hinges on preparedness and adaptability, the MR Dry 2.0 is an indispensable ally. It’s not just a bag; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of innovation forged through experience—the kind of innovation that ensures mission success and brings our troops home safely.

Crye Precision Announces R-SERIES Officially Available

Friday, February 16th, 2024

Brooklyn, NY – February 16, 2024– Crye Precision®, one of the leading suppliers of uniforms and personal equipment to the military, law enforcement and public safety markets, has announced the new R-SERIES™, a highly configurable, modular, and scalable system is now available for purchase through the company’s website. 

The R-SERIES™, the next evolution of the JPC 2.0™, is a highly tuned suite of load carriage innovations that strikes the nearly impossible balance between weight, durability, integration, modularity, versatility, and refinement. It was developed in collaboration with Special Operations Forces to address their unique and diverse requirements.

With the JPC R-SERIES™ at its core, the R-SERIES™ addresses the warfighter’s need to tailor the system to a constantly shifting mission profile. The design considers current cable routing requirements, various plate sizes and types, increase load carriage and additional extensive collaborations with end-user feedback.

A full suite of 18 components allow you to build four different configurations (ASSAULT, JUMP, RECCE, and PACK).  ASSAULT configuration is a mission-ready plate carrier with the JPC R-SERIES™ as the foundation.  The R-SERIES™ M4 JUMP FLAP can be removed, connected to the R-SERIES™ HARNESS ADAPTER and HARNESS to make a jumpable chest rig that can carry up to six, 30-round M4 mags.  Add the R-SERIES™ ZIP-ON PACK and ADAPTER and you now have a lightweight plate carrier.  Remove the front flap to align the PACK configuration.

These versatile arrangements can all be outfitted with an array of R-SERIES™ accessories that increase comfort and can accommodate new comms units, like the PRC-163 radio. These accessories can be mounted beside or below the front and back panels, furthering adding to the modularity of the series, and ensuring the load is more streamlined.

In addition to the accommodation of heavier loads and plate sizes, the new integrated cable management is designed to channel throughout the system to help keep everything streamlined.

“The R-SERIES™ started with asking our end users what they wanted changed from the JPC 2.0 and what they told us needed very little alteration,” stated Crye Precision Director of Marketing, Ernesto Rodriguez. “They had new load carriage and cable management requirements that needed to be addressed, along with the modularity created for the AVS™ system.  The R-SERIES™ truly defines mission specific scalability.”

Available now through www.cryeprecision.com, the new R-Series comes in MULTICAM®, Ranger Green, Coyote, and Black.

Blue Force Gear Limited Edition – VCAS Tiger Stripe Sling

Wednesday, February 14th, 2024

Introducing the Limited Edition VCAS GTS Sling – a fusion of a historical camo pattern with an iconic weapon sling design. This exclusive two-point, quick-adjustment sling in GTS (Green Tiger Stripe) pattern is brought to you by TFBTV host, James Reeves, and Blue Force Gear. “Tiger Stripe is a functional and interesting pattern, which also happens to be timeless.”, stated Reeves, while attending SHOT Show 2024. “…aesthetically pleasing camo in spite of the fact that it was never formally adopted by the US military.”

Reeves also adds a dose of history here, “…It was so effective that military advisors and special operations units in Vietnam, sourced the pattern locally and unofficially adopted it themselves.” Talk about resourcefulness.

“In that way, the pattern is itself an homage to ingenuity and improvisation. When I approached BFG about making the Vickers sling in the pattern, it was because the origins of Tiger Stripe are in alignment with BFG’s philosophy- Always Better. Plus, I selfishly wanted the best sling in the world, in one of the best camo patterns ever devised.” -James Reeves, TFBTV.

Only available at blueforcegear.com and by subscribing to the email notice of their release, there are limited quantities, so get them while you can. 500 are being produced in VCAS and VCAS push button slings.  Take advantage and own a tribute piece of military history, blending the legacy of the Green Tiger Stripe pattern, with the renowned Vickers Sling.
