FirstSpear Friday Focus: Split Bar Tubes

Friday, October 11th, 2024

FirstSpear released their Split Bar Tubes® Fasteners for purchase on the web a few years ago and they remain the top fastener on the market.

Male and female Split Bar Tubes® Fasteners are offered in 4 inch and 2 inch sizes as well as four different colors: black, coyote, foliage green and tan.

Tubes® Quick Release technology allows end users to don and doff in seconds. Single handed operation with a two-motion quick release allows you to engage the lift gate with 3 to 4 pounds of force and slide in either direction to release the buckle. Ditch your cable, faster re-assembly and repeatable fit every time. Tubes® Fasteners eliminate the need for additional layers of fabric and Velcro and effectively reduce weight. Tubes® Fasteners meet all U.S. military specifications for infrared signature reduction between 600 to 800 nanometers.

FirstSpear is in the business of providing innovative solutions to long unanswered challenges. Our Tubes® technology reaffirms that position. Quick to close and even quicker to doff, Tubes® fasteners are manufactured from lightweight high-performance polymers that exceed the strength of other molded fasteners currently used on operational equipment. Molded in signature suppressive colors and with a variety of choices for activation, this closure system can be rapidly deployed and completely reassembled in SECONDS. Tubes® technology will improve performance, enhance mission functionality, and reduce weight.
