Today we have another edition of the FirstSpear OEM Partner Series where we take a look at an all new product or company FirstSpear manufactures equipment for. This series highlights LionHeart Alliance and the Hot Pursuit Series of vests featuring FirstSpear Rapid-Release Tubes and Laser Fused 6/12 platform.
Why/How did LionHeart begin?
LionHeart began with a need for a company to focus on the needs of the Law Enforcement community. There are many companies that sell equipment to the government and some do it really well. However, those companies all chase the larger DOD business and do not give the LE community the customer service or time that they deserve. With our focus being on Federal, State, and Local LE Communities we have a greater understanding and knowledge base on what equipment works, and how best to procure this equipment that many of the other companies lack.
Why was the Hot Pursuit Vest created?
The Hot Pursuit series of vests was created to fill a void we saw in products tailored towards the Law Enforcement market. There are many features that make the Hot Pursuit series stand out, but the main feature that everyone sees from the start is the ability to accept both MOLLE compatible pockets as well as QASM placards. While there are other carriers on the market that accept just MOLLE pockets as well as those that accept just QASM placards there was no off the shelf carrier that could accommodate both. This feature is huge for issuing departments as it allows the end users to run their loadout the way they want to vice having to run it a certain way based on the carrier that was issued. Likewise, we have added ample Velcro loop on the front and rear of the carrier to accommodate identifier patches so that the end users are clearly marked during highly dynamic environments. One of the best but often overlooked feature is the rear pull up panel that exposes the ends of the cummerbund and allows the user to make micro adjustments to the fit of the cummerbund quickly and easily. During those early morning raids in which jackets must be worn, the user can doff the garment and adjust the cummerbund fit tighter and get back to the fight much sooner than with other carriers, all the while not giving up MOLLE real estate. The Hot Pursuit series in SAPI Cut, MBAV Cut, or Crime Suppression Cut are perfect options for issuing to Agencies, Departments, or Teams.
Why did you choose to use Tubes and 6/12?
These products have been industry leaders for years now. While other companies have tried to come up with comparable options, you just can’t beat the originals.
Why did you ultimately choose FirstSpear OEM manufacturing?
Was there any other option? We have had a long-standing relationship with the team at FirstSpear for many years and the visions at both companies are co-aligned in that at the end of the day all the matters is the end users and making sure they have the Gear To Give Them The Edge. With a shared vision and FirstSpear’s industry leading technology and manufacturing capabilities it was a no brainer that we wanted to develop the Hot Pursuit series with them.
Why was Made in the USA important to the brand?
Made in the USA was very important to us. While many companies are going overseas to keep the prices down on their products we decided that it was more important for us to keep it made in the USA to ensure that quality was were where we needed it to be for our customers on the streets. Will we lose out on some business due to price? Yes. But those who understand the Hot Pursuit series will see past the price and be happy with their purchase for years to come.
Any new products on the horizon between LionHeart and FirstSpear?
I know we at LionHeart and FirstSpear are always listening to our customers and adapt products to continue to fill voids in their operational equipment needs. So, all we can say is the gears are always turning, so stay tuned.

Today we are getting the first look at FirstSpear’s all new color way on the Asset Technial Field Shirt. Originally available in Black and Sand, FS has rolled out an all new Commando green now in-stock. Aside from the new color the Asset has garnered serious attention within US Special Operations thanks to a long list of performance features, materials, and overall comfort.
The torso is constructed from FirstSpear’s proprietary ACM 100 Merino wool and is not only extremely light and comfortable but also does an exceptional job at wicking moisture and offers the naturally inherent antimicrobial and flame resistance of wool.
The sleeves and shoulder yoke are built with a highly breathable Para-Arimid that is double reinforced at the elbows offering impressive heat and flame resistance. FirstSpear used an anti-friction NanoGlide mesh in the arm pits to help keep you cool in the hottest environments.
Adjustable cuffs and generous sleeves can easily be rolled up. The torso is longer than usual to help keep it tucked in during long days and exaggerated movement. Bicep pockets and loop fields for IFF attachment come standard. The high collar helps to save your neck from sling rub. Like most FirstSpear products the Asset is 100% Berry compliant, made in the USA with USA Materials. In-stock and now shipping in Commando, Sand, Black/ Graphite.

FirstSpear has announced their Berry compliant shooters glove is now available for commercial purchase.
The Operator Glove was designed for and currently fielded by United States Special Operations teams who required a shooters glove that provides the balance between strength and protection vs weight and dexterity. The FirstSpear OG provides the end user a reliable solution to this common glove dilemma now available for the first time on the FS web store in Sand and Commando colorways.
Built with the most technologically advanced materials and modern construction techniques it is inherently flame retardant with patterning and fit that makes it feel like you are not wearing a glove at all. This design allows for maximum manipulation and feel for fire control and other key weapon functions. The entire glove including the trigger finger itself has an advanced patent pending design to increase transmission of feedback to the user. Core spun merino wool, Pitards goat leather, touch screen compatibility, are just a few of the features found on the OG.
In order to achieve these levels of peak performance FirstSpear used materials and construction techniques that provide for the best in tactile responsiveness but by their very nature will not stand up to extremely long periods of hard abuse and should be expected to wear out. FS states that the these gloves were designed to perform exceptionally well through a standard train up and deployment and therefore do not come with the standard lifetime warranty commonly found on plate carriers, bags, packs, and other equipment.
Features:
Touch screen compatible thumb and index fingers
Core spun Merino wool with nylon core
FS-HDL Leather palm
No melt, no drip materials
Inherently anti-bacterial odor suppression
Enhanced breathability
Low water uptake / soft drying
NSNs are assigned to both Commando and Sand Colorways in sizes Small – 2X.
