ARO Products Announces New ARO Wrap for Alien Gear RAPID FORCE Holsters

Tuesday, May 12th, 2026

Houston, TX — May 11, 2026 — ARO Products is expanding its line of holster-mounted gear solutions with the release of a new ARO Wrap™ designed for Alien Gear’s RAPID FORCE® Level 3 WML Holsters.

The new ARO Wrap™ gives users the ability to add PALS-compatible mounting space directly to their RAPID FORCE® holster setup, creating more options for carrying essential gear without changing their primary holster platform. Built for duty, training, and range use, the ARO Wrap allows users to mount MOLLE-compatible accessories, pouches, and other supported gear where they need it most.

“Many professionals and serious users already trust the Alien Gear RAPID FORCE platform,” said Jace Foulk, owner of ARO Products. “This new ARO Wrap gives them more flexibility by adding mounting capability directly to the holster, while keeping their existing draw stroke, retention system, and overall setup intact.”

Unlike traditional accessory mounting solutions that limit placement options, the ARO Wrap™ is designed to provide mounting capability around the holster body, allowing users to configure their setup based on mission, training, or personal preference.

The ARO Wrap™ is especially well-suited for users who want to carry items such as tourniquets, chem lights, small tools, or other compact duty and range essentials. By adding PALS webbing to the holster, the ARO Wrap gives end users a practical way to expand their loadout without adding bulk to their beltline or replacing existing equipment.

The ARO Wrap™ for Alien Gear RAPID FORCE® Level 3 WML holsters is available now at aroproducts.com.

We are incredibly honored and humbled by this recognition, “said Bobby McGee Exec. Vice President Product Development & Innovation, Mission First Tactical. “We push the limits of retention by utilizing our instinctive locking system’s full containment technology. It maximizes strength and durability using magnetic and aerospace carbon fiber rod technology. “McGee goes on to say, “We designed and created a system that is safer, faster, and lighter for the frontliners that demand that out of their safety equipment. We proudly stand behind and support all officers, first responders, US Military and those who choose to run to, instead of from, critical situations.”

The NTOA Member Tested and Recommended Program has tested more than 3,000 products in real-world situations, since 2003, and is regarded by many law enforcement agencies as paramount to their product purchasing decisions.

Too many duty holsters sacrifice either speed or security, putting lives at risk. The MFT Guardian Duty Holster eliminates the need for that compromise, without impeding a master grip. This revolutionary design reduces the risks of gun grabs, foreign object and finger ingress, and optic bobble when drawing. The instinctive locking system and automatic optic hood reset offer consistent reholstering, giving officers the confidence they need while on duty. Backed by over 25 years of tactical experience and real-world feedback, it’s built for professionals who demand rapid access and reliable retention for every shift and every draw.
