FirstSpear Friday Focus: NSNS Carrier Systems

Friday, November 25th, 2022

This week, we’re showcasing our best selling Non-Stocking Non-Standard (NSNS) carrier systems.

Taking its name from an old Norse Viking term for a lightning raid, Strandhögg was one of the first formalized battle tactics to use covert infiltrators in advance of an actual raiding operation. Strandhögg was a tactical game changer in its time, just like the technological advances FirstSpear brings forward in this line of plate carriers.

Cut edge-to-edge to specifically fit SAPI / ESAPI / SPEAR plate sizes, the Strandhögg can be worn with or without soft armor panels, depending on ballistic requirements, threat conditions and type of plates used. Maximizing lightweight 6/12 technology and rapid Tubes® Closure Systems, this carrier can be rapidly donned and doffed. The Strandhögg is a streamlined fit and is easily tailored for comfort and ventilation.

Named for the intrepid explorer and cunning warrior Ragnar Lodbrok, the Ragnar Vest and its accessories are suited for a wide variety of roles and circumstances. The Ragnar Vest is covered in loop fabric and can be altered with different cummerbunds. Four special built-in pockets with retention tabs allow for storage of accessories based on situational requirements. This is a multi-mission vest with the flexibility to cover a variety of profiles.

The Sloucher combines many of the most desirable features of both the Siege-R and the Sleeper. Stretch panels on the cummerbund and Tubes closures keep the fit tight and allow for quick donning and doffing. The 6/12 Pocket Attachment System provides a low profile. This carrier accepts front, back and side plates SPEAR / BALCS cut soft armor (not included), MASS accessories and pockets using 6/12, 6/9 and MOLLE / PALS. The sloucher provides state of the art capability to support a full spectrum of operations.

The Sleeper is a stay behind asset and a less visible alternative to more overt style tactical vests. This carrier is designed to be worn over or under garments, as a stand alone vest or in conjunction with other FirstSpear carrier systems. The Sleeper fits US SOCOM SPEAR / BALCS soft armor and SAPI / ESAPI / SPEAR plates, including swimmer cut.

The ACM-WARM 600 is FirstSpear’s heaviest weight Merino Wool and provides the greatest standalone warmth. Pair with ACM-BASE 100 and ACM-MID 400 to create an extremely warm and comfortable system to beat the elements.

The Everyday Vest (EDV) is a great addition to the FirstSpear wool line. It utilizes an extremely lightweight 50/50 blend of our American Merino Wool and Polyester and is fully Berry Compliant. This is a heavyweight Merino Wool vest with a soft, brushed fleece interior, designed for the coldest temperatures.

The sleeveless design of the Stalker Vest is a unique feature in the FirstSpear American Wool line with an important benefit. The Stalker Vest has been designed for wear under plate carriers and can be removed without taking the carrier off. Simply open the sides of the Stalker Vest and slide it over your head. With the exclusive design of the Stalker Vest, you can easily adjust body heat retention. Too hot, one the sides for ventilation. Too cold, close the sides. Way too hot, remove the whole vest. All without removing your carrier.

Each have their own unique style while remaining the absolute warmest American Merino Wool that FirstSpear offers.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: OEM Spotlight – F9 Gear

Friday, October 21st, 2022

This week’s Friday Focus features another OEM Spotlight, F9 Gear (aka The Full 9). Working with FirstSpear, F9 Gear has developed a versatile and modular placard system known as, the Ammo Hub A1.

The Ammo Hub A1 is the ideal foundation to build out a kit that will suit exactly what you need, with absolutely nothing you don’t.

It is compatible with a huge variety of industry standard inserts, attachments, harnesses, pouches and accessories that can be customized into almost any imaginable PC placard or chest rig configuration. The Ammo Hub A1 naturally curves around the body as a chest rig and around plates as a PC placard.

Made in the US by FirstSpear using all American raw materials that meet or exceed military specifications.

Through smart use of laser cutting the body of the Hub is sewn from one single, continuous piece of FirstSpear 6/12 cordura laminate, with the Hub base and the side attachment loops being integral to that single piece of fabric.

Native to its design, the Ammo Hub A1 has the ability to be double stacked on top of itself using the integrated top buckle attachment straps.

Check out F9 Gear to learn more about the Ammo Hub A1.
