FirstSpear Friday Focus – ACM Mid 400 Shirts

Friday, March 17th, 2017

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.

The poly wicks away moisture from the body and transfers it to the absorbent wool exterior providing an exceptionally high performance garment that can be worn all on its own or as another base layer which works great under the Wind Cheater or your Squadron Smock.

The Mid Shirt is super tough and ultra soft with a comfortable fit that still has quite a bit of stretch to it. The 2/3rd length front zipper allows extra ventilation and a high comfortable collar to keep your neck covered. The dual layer material is light weight and wicks away moisture when its hot and traps warmth when its cold. Made in the USA with USA materials.

Available right now in 3 new colors, Commando, Manatee Grey, and Sand. Charcoal coming soon!

Order any Mid Shirt this weekend and get a FREE 32oz FS Water Bottle included, no code neccesary.

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.

This week, we take a peek into a line of designs seldom seen outside of the organizations who commissioned them. Non-Standard Non-Stocking items have been designed by FirstSpear at the request of Professional Users to meet a unique mission set. Occasionally, FirstSpear will make a few extra. Due to the specialized nature and limited production of these items, colors are limited.

Originally developed as a medical pack for a US Special Operations unit, this pack can easily be adapted for use as a range bag, E&E pack, or 1 day pack. Features include hydration compartment, padded shoulder straps, 5 external pockets and compression straps.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Tactical Hand Warmer

Friday, January 27th, 2017

The cold weather doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon so we thought we’d revisit the Tactical Hand Warmer for this week’s FirstSpear Friday Focus.

Not only does it keep your hands warm and fingers nimble in cold weather, it stuffs into a compact storage bag when not needed. It also can attach directly to an armor vest and hang below, right where your hands lie while seated.

The fleece lining is super comfy and the Tactical Hamd Warmer can be tightened with the shock cord.
