Friday, June 1st, 2012
TYR Tactical has added 6 new Zip On Back Panels to their website. These are designed to work with the PICO plate carrier but due to the design, you can adapt them to most armor carriers. The adapters just MOLLE into place on the rear of the carrier.
Options include a beaver tail model, PALS models with hydration pockets and admin variants with hydration pockets.
Manufactured from PV, they are available in MultiCam, Coyote, Ranger Green and Black.

IA Blast Belt
Friday, May 25th, 2012
UK’s Intelligent Armour offers this Multicam Blast Belt made from 500D Crye Multicam Cordura consisting of an inner, sized riggers belt and an external armored, load carrying belt. It uses Dyneema to offer a ballistic rating equivalent to NIJ IIIA. The size and shape of belted armor systems cannot be tested to NIJ standards so firms utilize packages that are certified but in the belt shape.

SOFIC – ArmorWorks
Thursday, May 24th, 2012
We first showed you the ArmorWorks Modular Plate Carrier during SHOT Show. They had this cool, laser engraved one-off there but we didn’t get a photo. Fortunately, they also had this special version featuring a Tribal design at SOFIC. The Modular Plate Carrier is coming soon.
Super Light Armor Applique Plate – Rifle Protection for Your Helmet
Thursday, May 24th, 2012
For those of you that took a look at Ops-Core’s new 2012 catalog yesterday, you may have noticed an item called the SLAAP Plate. It is, in my opinion, one of the most amazing things I have seen in quite some time. Developed by Velocity Systems for use in conjunction with the Ops-Core FAST Ballistic Helmet, the Super Light Armor Applique Plate defeats 7.62 x 39mm FMJ with mild steel core penetrator. There’s no ether here about it stopping an unspecified .30 threat like some helmet programs out there. This piece of kit stops the most common threat you are going to face on the current battlefield. And, it is used in conjunction with a helmet that is seeing more and more widespread use; the Ops-Core FAST Ballistic Helmet.

Mounting is a snap as it is as easy as adjusting the position and slapping into place via Velcro. The SLAAP Plate is also NVG compatible and includes a cutout and edge recess to accommodate the VAS shroud.
SLAAP Plates come in two sizes: Large (1.0 lbs) and Small (.85 lbs). Look for SLAAP Plates for additional helmet geometries soon. Available sized and in Tan, Green, Black, MultiCam and Desert MARPAT, the SLAAP Plate can be ordered from both Ops-Core and Velocity Systems.
