A search for panels, placards and chest rigs these days will reveal linear products that function well in one or two of these realms. What if a chest rig could go beyond the shoulder straps? What if a placard could go beyond the hook and loop? What if all of these could be wrapped into a modular and functional kit… with Tubes?

FirstSpear didn’t have to ask what if, those at the Tip of The Spear asked this of us… we answered the call. Coming December 2023.

Friday, November 3rd, 2023

If you’re not already in the know, then we’ll introduce you to the Hoodlum Hoodie. When it comes to hoodies, one might think that they are all pretty much the same, but perhaps you’re looking for a hoodie that is the ultimate in both comfort and utility. Designed with the wearer in mind, this hoodie is made from a unique blend of materials that will quickly wick away sweat and keep you dry and comfortable. The Hoodlum Hoodie is constructed from ACM-MID 400, a blend of polyester and merino wool that is designed to be both lightweight and quick-drying.

The exterior is 100% merino wool, while the interior is 100% polyester, which helps to wick sweat away from your skin and keep you comfortable.

The form-fitting hood and thumbholes in the cuffs give it a stylish look, while also providing extra warmth and protection from the elements. This hoodie is designed to be comfortable and stretchy, while still providing a close and snug fit. The full-length front zipper makes it easy to get on and off. The sleeves are long enough to provide extra coverage, while the thumbhole cuffs keep your hands warm without sacrificing mobility. The merino wool exterior is naturally resistant to wear and tear, while the polyester interior is designed to withstand repeated washing and drying. And with its form-fitting design, you won’t have to worry about it losing its shape or stretching out over time. Why settle for an ordinary hoodie?

FS Friday Focus – Vertical Envelopment Pack

Friday, October 13th, 2023

The VEP (Vertical Envelopment Pack) is a top-opening, roll-closure pack that is secured by tubes, making it an ideal pack for insertion and extraction operations. It can be mounted on FirstSpear Plate Carriers and flipped over the head for quick access to the contents inside. The front hanging feature also provides additional safety and comfort during infiltration when seated in armored vehicles and helicopters. This means that you can be assured of having quick and easy access to your gear, even in high-pressure scenarios.

Developed to “go forward from the objective rally point (ORP),” the VEP provides the assaulter with a unique capability which augments the full spectrum of modern combat operations. It provides the shooter with a clean shoulder pocket when shoulder firing a weapon, minimizing underarm “clutter”. This is especially important in tight and confined spaces where you need to be agile and have the ability to move quickly without any hindrance.

One of the most notable features of the VEP is its versatility. The pack and carrier can be removed and reassembled as one, making quick work for casualty inspection and treatment. Rapid jettison of FirstSpear Plate Carriers does not change with or without the VEP on. This means that you don’t have to worry about leaving gear behind or fumbling around trying to remove the pack in an emergency situation.

In terms of design, the VEP is a well-thought-out pack that is not only functional but also comfortable. It’s made from durable materials that are built to withstand the toughest conditions. The pack also features a range of compartments and pockets that are designed to provide ample storage space for all of your gear. Whether you’re a military professional or a prepared citizen, the VEP has everything you need to stay organized and prepared for anything.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Socks

Friday, September 29th, 2023

We understand that having high-quality gear is essential to your performance and safety. From helmets to tactical boots, every component plays an important role. In today’s Friday Focus, we’re tapping into a sometimes overlooked topic, socks… specifically, two FirstSpear fan favorites, the Everyday Sock and the Boot Super Sock, which have been no stranger to the most elite warriors on the face of the planet.

The Everyday Sock is engineered to provide you with the ultimate comfort and ventilation. It’s made of a unique blend of materials that allow your feet to breathe naturally, so you don’t have to worry about sweat getting trapped inside. The extra-light design on the top of the sock helps dissipate heat, allowing you to wear it comfortably, for longer periods.

The Boot Super Sock combines the best aspects of durability, comfort, and breathability in one design. The sock’s naturally antimicrobial and highly breathable qualities make it perfect for wearing under your tactical boots. Its thicker and offers additional protection against blisters and hot spots. Like the Everyday Sock, this sock is proudly made in America with U.S. materials.

Deets

They are made of a blend of merino wool, nylon, lycra, and spandex. Merino wool is known for its warmth, whereas nylon gives the socks excellent abrasion resistance. Lycra and spandex help retain the sock’s shape, even after extended use. As a result, the materials can withstand the wear and tear of daily use, providing you with long-lasting comfort and performance.

Both socks thrive in tactical and field environments as well as everyday wear at home. Whether you’re MIL/LEO, first responder, or an outdoor enthusiast, these socks will provide you with the comfort and performance you need during long hours on your feet.
