Occasionally there are overruns and today we are in for real treat with the announcement of a Woodland Camo version. Supplies are limited grab one while you can.

Features include hydration compartment, padded shoulder straps, 5 external pockets and compression straps. The exterior dimensions are 18.5″ x 9″ x 8″.

ACM Mid 400 is the next layer of performance merino from FirstSpear amd the focus of this week’s installment.

ACM Mid 400 is a dual layer material using super fine polyester on the interior and their 100% USA Merino Wool exterior.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Frog AAC Kit

Friday, March 3rd, 2017

This week, we’re going to check out the Frog AAC Kit, which I had the chance to check out during this week’s Enforce Tac at the Messe, in Nürnburg, Germany. The Frog kit adapts the Assaulter Armor Carrier for use in a maritime environment.

Standard in the kit are FS Bouyancy Compensators, Adaptive Cummerbund Flotation Elements and a 2″ belly band to secure the front and back panels to the user without having to wear a full cummerbund.

The adaptive cummerbund uses the AAC instant adjust back panel. 6/12 modular sections on the left and right of the front carrier panel allow the user to install the modular pockets of their choice and at the height they need for increased comfort and mobility.

There is also a rebreather harness kit which allows the rebreather to be attached directly to the AAC and easily ditched once free of the surf zone.

The AAC Frog kit is for Governmemt use only and is already being fielded by a customer. Contact www.first-spear.com for additional information.
