British Tactical

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

British Tactical aka Brittac is a small UK-based gear manufacturer. They manufacture all of their kit in-house using UK and US milspec materials including Crye MultiCam, Murdock Jacquard Multicam webbing and Velcro brand MC loop.

Hippo Belt

They recently produced a simple, cost effective range of Hippo-style Padded MOLLE Webbing Belts but I like their take on several British webbing staples. The belt has a choice of 2, 3, 4 rows of PALS webbing as well as 5 size options. Additionally, you get your choice of ITW Nexus Ghilltex 50mm Quick Release buckle or a Roll Pin Buckle. and all belts are compatible with the current British issue yoke. Due to the number of options available on these belts they are produced to order and turn around time is currently about 1 week.

There’s no massive innovation here. You’re looking at value backed up with a lifetime warranty. Like them on Facebook.

Tactical Distributors is now carrying Agilite Gear here in the US. Agilite Gear offers a variety of products including the Injured Personnel Carrier. I stopped by TD this morning to see if they were celebrating by carrying each other around the office but alas, it was all business. Maybe they’ll produce a video?

Blue Force Gear has licensed the Helium Whisper pouch attachment system to STRATAGEM which becomes the first international brand to integrate the technology into their product line.

“We at STRATAGEM are proud to be working with Blue Force Gear and use Helium Whisper as a component of our products,” said Markus Jahn, STRATAGEM’s CEO. “Helium Whisper allows us to grant our customers access to an outstanding technology, giving them the benefit of lighter and more efficient equipment by reducing the weight of our pouches dramatically. It enables us to raise the level of our pouches and to fulfill our aspiration of providing cutting edge products to today’s warfighter.”

“STRATAGEM is a top quality German company who services the elite with quality gear. We’re proud they’ve chosen Helium Whisper to help lighten the load of their customers,” said Doug Duggan, Blue Force Gear’s International Business Development Manager.

Helium Whisper allows modular pouch backs to be constructed from a single piece of high-performance laminate versus the multiple straps and snaps of outdated designs. This amazing breakthrough increases strength and durability of pouches while eliminating failure points and reducing weight by up to 60 percent. Helium Whisper licensing allows OEM customers to reduce sewing costs, minimize alignment errors, maintain or increase durability, and stay relevant to today’s weight-conscious military customers.
