Tuesday, May 20th, 2025

SWANSBORO, NC, May 20, 2025 – High Speed Gear® (HSG), a trusted leader in tactical gear solutions, is proud to celebrate 25 years of delivering innovative, American-made tactical solutions to the world’s most demanding professionals. Since the company’s founding in 1999, HSG has remained steadfast in their mission: to provide gear that performs when it matters most – because those who serve and protect deserve nothing less. For 25 years, HSG has stood as a pillar of quality, performance, and innovation.

From the iconic TACO® pouches to a full line of battle-proven gear, every product in the High Speed Gear Products Group is built with precision, pride, and purpose – right here in the USA. With manufacturing operations based in North Carolina and Georgia, our commitment to quality craftsmanship, rapid innovation, and American jobs remains stronger than ever.

“For a quarter of a century, our gear has earned the trust of U.S. Marines, Soldiers, SWAT teams, patrol officers, and competitive shooters alike,” said Allison Mitchum, VP of Sales and Marketing. “That trust is rooted in the fact that our products are built to last for professionals who rely on performance, not promises.”

At a time when many companies are building gear overseas and struggling with supply chain volatility and tariffs, High Speed Gear continues to double down on domestic manufacturing. Our customers benefit from consistent product availability, unmatched quality, locked-in pricing, and a company that reinvests in American workers and communities. Customerscan rely on HSG’s standard pricing structure, which doesn’t change due to tariffs or overseas sourcing issues. In addition, HSG is willing to support cut-and-sew OEM partnerships, offering reliable, American-made solutions for companies seeking dependable manufacturing support during these uncertain times.

The High Speed Gear Products Group includes four respected brands – High Speed Gear®, Comp-Tac®, BlackPoint Tactical®, and Crucial Concealment® – each united under the shared commitment to serve those who serve others. Whether it’s military, law enforcement, or everyday citizens exercising their rights, our gear is engineered with real-world input and battle-tested under real-world conditions.

As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we are humbled by the loyalty of our customers and partners and energized for what comes next. The mission continues – and we’re ready for the next 25 years.

X-Pac Tactical Fabrics Take LOF Defense Systems Gear to the Next Level

Thursday, May 15th, 2025

Since 2008, LOF (Line of Fire) Defense Systems headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, has been redefining tactical gear with innovative, lightweight body armor systems engineered for real-world performance. Focused on durability and wearer survivability, LOF Defense System’s product lineup includes plate carrier platforms, duty belt systems, and K9 protection gear—all designed and manufactured in-house using lean production methods.

The Discovery of X-Pac® Fabrics

During an R&D initiative to develop a laser-cut MOLLE system, LOF Defense Systemsnarrowly avoided investing in a soon-to-be-discontinued material. After failed experiments bonding layers of nylon and ripstop fabrics, which resulted in broken and stretched materials, the founders took a deeper dive into material science. Theirattention to sailcloth technology where the fabric does not stretch – lead them to X-Pac fabrics, developed the Dimension-Polyant, the world’s leading sailcloth manufacturer.

“We were instantly impressed that X-Pac fabric was available in all the MultiCam® colors and IR (Infrared) compliant,” said Darren Schulte, CEO, LOF Defense Systems. “Upon receiving sample yardage, we developed a few products to give to a couple of K9 units and it performed perfectly. They loved it and we have been using X-Pac® fabrics ever since. It’s damn near indestructible.”

Since then, X-Pac Fabrics have become the foundational ingredient in LOF Defense System’s product line.

Solving Critical Design Challenges

One of LOF Defense System’s significant challenges was sourcing a camouflaged fabric on both sides. Traditional options lacked this dual-pattern feature. Taking on a new R&D project, LOF Defense System’s figured out a way of bonding two layers of X-Pac X50 fabric using a 100% waterproof adhesive resistant to saltwater and freshwater environments. This innovation led to a virtually indestructible material ideal for their laser-cut MOLLE gear.

“Our primary goal is to provide our brand partners with the best textile solution possible,” said James Lang, Sales Manager, X-Pac® Tactical. “We’ve had an amazing long-term and productive brand collaboration with the LOF Defense Systems team, and we look forward to many more.”

Discover LOF Defense System’s Products

While most LOF Defense System’s sales come from law enforcement and military clients, its products are also available to civilians through their website.

Just in time for warm weather and a trip to the beach, these shirts offer the colorful vibe of 1980s Miami, as in Miami Vice.
