TNVC – Mohawk Mk3

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018

The TNVC Mohawk Mk3 is a full spectrum counterweight / storage system for the modern combat helmet. Incorporating operator feedback as well as our staff’s own battlefield experience, we designed the Mohawk Mk3 to be a highly functional, modular accessory for all modern warriors. It provides useful storage and retention of mission-essential gear and will attach to any currently-fielded ballistic or bump helmet with Velcro. Building on the feature-rich Mk1 and Mk2, the Mk3 variant is designed for operators running the L-3 Insight AN/PVS-31(A) Battery Pack. This would include goggles such as the AN/PVS-31(A), GPNVG-18, AN/PSQ-36, etc.

The Mohawk Mk3 is packed full of useful features for Armed Professionals. No other helmet accessory system offers this level of versatility. Shipping now and already in the hands of US SOF operators.

RE Factor Tactical – Trauma Tape

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018

Trauma Tape is like traditional medical tape but with the addition of vital signs and a MIST Report (for the military version) printed on it.

The idea behind the tape is it allows the user to write the patient’s vital signs on the tape, then place that tape on the patient for patient hand-off. Because it’s traditional medical tape it can also be used for all the normal applications of medical tape. This helps reduce bulk and stream-lines medical kits.
