FirstSpear Friday Focus: 1st Phorm OEM Spotlight

Friday, May 17th, 2024

This Friday we’re featuring a new OEM Spotlight with 1stPhorm. Based in Fenton, MO as well, FirstSpear has built their latest fitness/tactical plate carrier. The operator plate carrier is available in Woodland & Coyote!

Why did you choose to collaborate with FirstSpear?

1st Phorm has an uncompromising demand to produce the best quality product. There was no other choice than FirstSpear when we looked for partners to help design and build the carrier. FirstSpear supplies the best equipment to elite Tier 1 Units around the world and that’s the quality we were looking for.

Where did the need for the new 1st Phorm plate carrier come from?

Everything on the market was bulky, poor quality, limited the wearers mobility and very hot to train in. We had a need to make a high quality and comfortable vest that our customers could use as a tool to advance their training.

Explain the new vest and why you chose FirstSpear Tubes™ technology.

Whether you’re in the gym, knocking out an outdoor walk, or training on the tactical range … Introducing more weight resistance is your ticket to taking your health & fitness to the next level. Designed to combine comfort, functionality, and modularity to fit your needs, this cutting-edge training accessory will be the perfect tool to help you increase your workload to ultimately earn better results!

Run the Operator Plate Carrier slick (as shipped), or scale it up with your favorite MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories.

(Weight plates not included)

FirstSpear Friday Focus: The Line One Belt

Friday, March 29th, 2024

This week, we’re highlighting a foundational piece of gear: the Line One Belt.

• Urethane covered nylon
• Superior strength and weather resistance
• Tempered non-slip coating
• Impervious to sweat and water
• Available in Black, Coyote, Manatee Grey & Rich Mahogany

In the realm of tactical gear, every element plays a crucial role. The Line One Belt is pivotal, offering functionality, durability, and adaptability. It’s the last belt you’ll ever need.

Functionality Redefined

The line one belt is our most popular everyday belt! Borrowing its name from an old NSW term for the first level of clothing or gear, the Line One Belt has amazing tactical performance that maintains the high level of comfort and mobility usually associated with leather. Urethane covered nylon provides superior strength and weather-resistance.

This belt won’t crack, peel, or become stiff in frigid temperatures. Specially tempered, non-slip coating eliminates “break-in” time and allows for leather like flex, yet it is impervious to sweat and water and will not stretch or lose its original shape. The Line One Belt is an excellent platform for concealed carry or for just keeping your pants up with style!

Durability Where It Counts

In demanding environments, reliability is non-negotiable. Constructed from high-quality polyurethane, the Line One Belt withstands the rigors of heavy every-day use. It ensures performance even in rugged terrain or harsh weather conditions.
