FirstSpear Friday Focus – ACM MID 400 – Squadron Smock

Friday, January 10th, 2020

Today is another edition of the FirstSpear American Wool Series where we take a look at an item that FS builds with their USA Merino packages.

Check out the Squadron Smock, an exceptionally popular garment from FS which has maintained its classic design matched with modern high performance materials. The dual layer MID 400 merino package is used throughout the hood, back and shoulders as well as two zippered hand pockets. With over 18 total pockets this smock serves a load bearing vest style capability many outer garments could not support. An oversized hood works great over the top of a bump lid or helmet.

FirstSpear has also used a low profile padding through the elbow and forearm finished with extra large adjustable cuffs. Webbing attachment points on the back and hood can be used to secure a pack like the ECP or even add foliage for concealment. Like most FirstSpear products the Squadron Smock is 100% American made and Berry Compliant.

In Stock and shipping now in Black, Ranger Green, Coyote, Multicam, and Manatee Grey.

Limited Edition Atom SL Hoody in Wolf Grey from Arc’teryx LEAF

Thursday, January 9th, 2020

Arc’teryx LEAF took the Atom SL Hoody from the Outdoor line and made a limited run in Wolf Grey. It’s a great option for three-season wear. It just depends on which three seasons you’re looking at, based on where you’re at. I’ve had one since they were launched years ago and worn it in the summer in the mountains and in the winter in the Everglades.

It features Coreloft insulation with air permeable side panels. It is lightweight, compresses well, and dries quickly. It is DWR treated and features two zippered side pockets and an uninsulated hood.

This limited run is available exclusively from the following dealers. Once they are gone, they are gone.

High Speed Gear Releases New ReFlex IFAK System and Duty Mini Multi-Access Comm TACO

Wednesday, January 8th, 2020

SWANSBORO, N.C. – Jan. 7, 2020 – High Speed Gear® kicked off the new year with two new products, the ReFlex™ IFAK System medical kit and Duty Mini Multi-Access Comm TACO®.

These products were designed to meet popular demand and will be on display at SHOT Show 2020 in Booth 11162. While the Mini MAC is currently available for retail, HSGI® will fully launch the ReFlex™ immediately following SHOT Show.

The ReFlex™ is a two-piece system that was developed with direct input from active-duty medical personnel. This system is designed to organize and hold the contents of the U.S. Army-issued IFAK ambidextrous accessibility. The system comprises the ReFlex™ Carrier and Med Roll. The carrier can mount horizontally and vertically on belts, as well as on MOLLE platforms as small as our Operator Belt, while the roll can hang from a car head rest or IV rack without spilling its contents. These can be purchased together or separately.

The Duty Mini MAC TACO® was designed for the APX 6000/7000/8000 and will hold most other small, handheld radios and issued personal communications devices. The open-top and open-side design allows access to primary radio controls when holstered, while the hidden shock cord offers the versatility of the TACO® design in the sleek finish of traditional law enforcement duty gear.

“A new year means new gear,” Bill Babboni, HSGI® vice president of sales and operations. “The whole team at High Speed Gear® has worked diligently on these two products.  Part of the key to our success is that we continually reach out to multiple industry partners in both law enforcement and the medical community for testing and feedback while designing these products. We are excited to see these out in the field and know that the ReFlex™ IFAK will be a true enhancement for those who are looking to be prepared for all medical situations.”

ReFlex™ IFAK System MSRP: $100 – complete kit; $65 – ReFlex™ Med Roll; $40 – ReFlex™ Carrier
