Agilite K19 – “The Plate Carrier Re-Defined” Now Shipping

Thursday, March 5th, 2020

The K19 Plate Carrier, which Agilite are calling “The Plate-Carrier Re-Defined” is officially shipping to the general public from today, March 5th.

They describe it has having numerous subtle but revolutionary features that no other plate carrier has as explained in the official video on the product page.

Designed, tested and battle-proven in Israel with some of the IDF’s most elite units, The K19 has been through 20 rounds with ISF SOF before officially being cleared for release today.

Unique features include a new Egress™ Quick-release system and proprietary Fast-Adjust™ Cummerbund that can be adjusted and fine-tuned in real time, by the wearer. Many modern plate carriers employ Quick-release mechanisms but they always come at the expense of not being able to adjust the fit easily, quickly and by yourself.

Other notable features include a one-size-fits-all cummerbund that actually fits well on all body sizes and types and a multi-size plate bag absolving the need to make complicated and risky sizing choices when buying.

You know the K19 will always fit you or members of your team regardless of your loadout or mission set. This is also important for procurement professionals who can be sure it will fit all their guys (or girls) well.

It is available in Multicam, Ranger Green and Black on the Agilite Website here or on GSA here.

SHOT Show 20 – Grey Ghost Gear Introduces New Back Panels

Friday, January 24th, 2020

Grey Ghost Gear showed a full line of zip on back panels for armor vests.

They’ve even got an adapter for those vests without incorporated zippers.

The panels use the same zippers as the Crye systems so there’s some compatibility here in both directions.

SIG Range Day – TYR Tactical Armors Hendrick Motor Sports STEED

Monday, January 20th, 2020

Hendrick Motor Sports Silent Tactical Energy Enhanced Dismount, in my opinion the most impressive improvement to small unit mobility since the mule, is now even better.

The STEED remains capable of improving mobility and load carriage for the squad. This electric cart has zero emissions and can carry up to 500 lbs over complex terrain at speeds from 0-6.5 mph. STEED will even climb stairs and can be used in water.

But now it is armored thanks to TYR Tactical. They’ve armored the motor underneath and developed a kit to mount a level IV Ballistic Shield. The shield adds 43 lbs to the front of the STEED which they’ve offset with a soft container for ammo crates at the other end.
