FirstSpear Friday Focus – Split Bar Tubes Fasteners

Friday, August 19th, 2022

The Most Anticipated Release of The Year

FirstSpear is pleased to announce the official release of Split Bar Tubes® Fasteners for purchase on the web.

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.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – OEM Spotlight – Catamount Outdoor Gear

Friday, July 29th, 2022

Gear For Life. No matter where it takes you.

In this weeks Friday Focus, we’re presenting another OEM Spotlight, Catamount Outdoor Gear. Owner, Mark Johnson, reimagines the average bino harness to create an extraordinary, American made product for the outdoor industry and beyond.

The Catamount Outdoor Gear (COG) Bino Harness is purpose built to provide the ultimate level of user comfort and optics protection. Before Mark created Catamount Outdoor Gear, his expectations of bino harness’ were never fully met. Dealing with issues such as loose hanging straps and improper pouch positioning was concerning for him. This sparked his creativity and bred the necessity to design his own system.

Unique COG features include the ability to MOLLE weave onto a pack or mount additional pouches through the laser cut cordura to create a larger kit suited to the individuals needs while hunting, scouting and traveling.

The 4-way stretch bino compartment flap provides notable protection against dirt, dust and debris. This flap can also be manipulated by one hand and is designed to be quiet while spot and stalking, bow hunter etiquette at its finest.

The COG Bino Harness is specifically designed to be as minimalistic as possible out of the box. Whether you’re loaded with pack and gear or drawing your bow on big game, your bino’s will be comfortably secured and out of the way.
