The FirstSpear TUBES™ GAS MASK POUCH is built for professionals who require immediate access to critical respiratory protection in high-threat environments. Compatible with the Tubes™ Attachment Accessory and Tubes™ Belt Mount Accessory, it mounts securely to plate carriers or belt rigs to match mission requirements.
The wide-opening design enables rapid deployment and efficient re-stowage when seconds matter. A protective hooded top shields the mask from debris, dirt, and adverse weather conditions. Retention is handled by a dual closure system combining hook-and-loop with a side-release (SR) buckle, ensuring the mask stays secure during movement while remaining instantly accessible.
This balance of speed and security supports operations where reliability is non-negotiable. Constructed for durability in austere conditions, the pouch withstands the rigors of hard use.
The Tubes™ Gas Mask Pouch keeps essential respiratory gear protected, locked in, and ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.

This is really more of a sneak peek but it’s got such a great backstory that I’ve got to share it. Tucked in a corner on a shelf in the Blue Force Gear booth at SHOT Show was a pouch with a belt running through its attachment system. Behind it was a brochure with the name ÖTZI Belt Pouch System.
From the brochure:
The naming of Blue Force Gear’s new belt pouch innovation was inspired by Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old Copper Age traveler discovered in the Alps and proclaimed the oldest and best-pre-served, naturally mummified human ever documented. Preserved in glacial ice, Otzi was found wearing a modular belt outfitted with equipment like a knife sheath, food/medicine pouch, and fire-start-ing kit. It stands as the earliest known example of a tactical belt, a testament to how long warriors have trusted a well-built waist rig to keep mission-critical gear exactly where it needs to be.
With attachments designed to accommodate their Law Enforcement Duty Belts and BFG CHLK /GRID / ISH Belts, there two mounting options. Molded belt loops for more traditional belts and direct attachment plate for belts with mounting holes. Both use nuts and bolts to secure the pouch and attachment together. In the case of the mounting plate option, it’s going to be a very low profile system.

Ferro Concept’s booth was packed with visitors as well as new products. One that it is ready to go and can be put into service quickly with MFF jumpers is the Expandable Jump Bag – Medium.
For many years, military freefall jumpers have placed their armor, load carriage, and packs within a jump bag to help streamline their bodies and avoid hazards from equipment being hung up while inside or exiting the aircraft. This can also help protect equipment on landing. One item that generally remains handy is the individual weapon. Ferro Concept took on the challenge to create a new bag which can be expanded, via a spiral zipper, as needed to contain the jumper’a individual equipment.
As you can see, the interior is quite large and has ample space for the individual’s vest and pack. The foam is not used operationally but rather to maintain the form of the bag while empty for exhibition. Straps on the exterior allow the jumper to cinch the bag tight around the load.
Here you can see how the jumper’s weapon attaches to the Jump Bag. It can quickly be removed and placed into action.
It attaches to the Equipment D Ring via snap shackles (Pelican Clips).
Once on terra firma, the Jump Bag will contain the parachute and harness as well as any other air items for either turn-in or caching prior to transitioning to overland movement. It incorporates shoulder straps.
I’ll wrap this up by pointing out that the product’s name indicates there are other sizes in the works and we’ll cover those once they are available.
During my meeting with Apex Defense USA they showed me a new waistbag system designed by Tsuga. Originally developed for mountain biking, they showed it to some SF medics who were immediately drawn to the concept. Since then, Apex Defense and Tsuga have been working with the SOF medical community to refine the bags which are now called the RailRunr Military Hip Pack.
What makes RailRunr standout from other waist bags is that you don’t have to twist the entire waist bag around to the front to access the contents. Instead, the bag moves along a track on the padded belt so you can keep the belt snug the entire time. This also reduces chaffing from twisting the entire rig round and round.
This video shows how it works.
Inside is a removable bandolier divider, two internal pockets, and upper elastic loops to keep your kit organized and secure.
Offered in 3l and 5l configurations, the RailRunr is made from Squadron laminate and integrates N52 Neodynium Magnets to keep the bag in place on the belt while in its stored position.
I’d like to point out that although the medics are interested in this bag, it could be used for a wide variety of applications, just like other waist bags.
Colors include Black, Red, Coyote, and MultiCam.
For those interested in ordering, pre-orders are being taken now with the first articles shipping in April. All Bulk orders and Dealer opportunities are available through Apex Defense USA. Contact sales@apexdefenseusa.com.
MSRP pricing is: 3L – $451.43ea | 5L – $481.43ea (Includes Pouch and Belt).
Shaw Concepts is always a fountain of innovation and thy displayed quite a few upcoming products but the one I want to concentrate on is an as-yet-unnamed harness which can be configured as chest rig or plate carrier.
Both modular and scalable in nature, it will accept a bib, panels and dangler at the front. You can also add armor plates by using Shaw Speed Bags. The front plate is attached to the front of the rig via Velcro, is an easy and quick way to scale the protection level.
At the rear, the plate attaches via custom Metal Hardware and T-Stoppers.
The rear is stiffened using Tegris to assist with load carriage and stability.
The Shaw harness also incorporates an S-Lok sleeve cummerbund which is available in 3”, 5”, and a narrow plate carrier height. The patent pending S-Lock uses the same technology as the Usurper belt to set the length of the cummerbund.
The rear of the harness is height adjustable and the shoulder straps are length adjustable. Additionally, the shock cord allows some flex for breathing yet the stiffened spine nears the weight of the load.
There is a metal toggle buckle to attach the shoulder straps to the front panel but these can be replaced with FS Tubes and you can easily add shoulder pads to the shoulder straps.
Assault zip-on panel (no final name) uses UCAS standard zippers for compatibility with other brands.
Likely to launch July 4th along with several other new items.
