Rudy has faced adversity and has had to find was to overcome and survive in extreme situations his entire life. In Rudy’s case, his survival is a result of perseverance, determination, and focus.

Just in time for fall and winter weather, Tactical Tailor has launched their Pack Rain Covers. These are water resistant covers that envelope the pack in order to help keep water from soaking through to your gear. If you own a pack, you need to also own a cover.
In addition to keeping your gear dry, they also keep the load streamlined and camouflauged (when needed). With PALS fields on packs comes lots of attached gear. These items can be snagged while you’re wearing the pack which can not only be frustrating but also dangerous.
Manufactured from a DWR coated 330D fabric, a bungee opening allows for a tight seal on the pack while the strap attachment ensures the cover will not come off when drug through branches or other snags. These covers come in 4 sizes, Small to XL and in colors Coyote Brown, Multicam, and A-TACS Snow Camo. Each cover fits into its own small, hook and loop enclosed, pouch when not in use; allowing for easy storage and quick access for ever changing, and unpredictable, weather conditions. Stop dealing with water-logged packs and get yours today.

Phokus Research Group developed this Dual Zipper Under Armor Deployment version of the Sons Traima Kit for those units who need to be able to access the components of their medical items. In addition to the ability to maintain the kits when items expire, the dual zipper also allows units to update their components with new items. It still fits in the late pocket of the Armor Vest so they’ve also introduced a split seam so the items stay in place.
It’s a great product, but the name is a mouthful and more of a nomenclature than a cool name. I suggested Phokus allow the SSD readers to name it. So here’s your shot to be a marketing genius. Phokus will reward the best name, judged by them, two fully loaded versions of this kit as well as two Shield kits.

This is the upcoming BUMPR Android S6/7 case from Juggernaut.Case. You’ll also see it for the iPhone 6/7. It is a low cost / low frills alternative for those who do not require full environmental protection and external radio connectivity.
This is the rear of the BUMPR.
They’ve also created a QD USB-A Juggernaut cable which allows recharge from within the case for those who don’t need a Glenaire cable.
These are the dust caps which facilitate use of the charging cable.
This shows you the difference between the BUMPR and a fully ruggedized Juggernaut.Case.
