SWANSBORO, NC, March 12, 2025 – High Speed Gear, an industry leader in tactical gear, is proud to announce that its innovative NVG (Night Vision Goggle) Pouch has officially received a National Stock Number (NSN). This recognition further cements the NVG Pouch’s critical role in military operations and reinforces High Speed Gear’s commitment to providing high-quality, mission-essential equipment to the armed forces.

The NSN, a unique identifier used by military and defense agencies to catalog and track supplies, signifies that the NVG Pouch has met rigorous standards for operational use. Designed for durability, accessibility, and versatility, the NVG Pouch is engineered to securely hold night vision goggles, providing protection while ensuring ease of access when needed.

“Our team here at High Speed Gear takes immense pride in designing gear that our military, law enforcement, and first responders can depend on,” said Allison Mitchum, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at High Speed Gear. “These men and women put their lives on the line every day, and we are honored to provide them with the highest-quality equipment to ensure they are ready for anything. Our commitment to excellence is rooted in our respect for those who deserve it most — our Warriors in uniform.”

Daniel Chaney, Director of Research and Development at High Speed Gear shared, “After learning about the Marine Corps’ need for a carriage solution for the PVS-31s through our direct connections with warfighters, we were able to quickly create several rounds of prototypes and landed on a solution within weeks after gathering their feedback.”

The NVG Pouch offers a rugged design made from high-strength materials, ensuring it withstands the demanding conditions of military environments. It features a secure closure system to keep night vision equipment safe while allowing for quick deployment in high-pressure situations. Its compact, lightweight design ensures soldiers can carry their night vision gear without added bulk, keeping them agile and ready for any mission.

Blue Force Gear Releases the Battle Belt Hanger

Wednesday, March 12th, 2025

POOLER, GA. – Blue Force Gear, Inc., the world leader in load carriage equipment, announces the Battle Belt Hanger for sale on their website. This simple product solves a universal problem: what to do with your battle belt when it’s not in use. The innovative BattleBelt Hanger provides proper storage and extends the life of duty belts and attached gear.

The patent pending Battle Belt Hanger was released during SHOT Show and displayed in the Blue Force Gear booth. Specifically designed for the Blue Force Gear CHLK and GRID Belt systems, it seamlessly holds a range of duty belts so essential gear can be organized in a thoughtful way rather than on the floor or tangled with other equipment.

The Battle Belt Hanger attaches to Cobra Buckles or the buckle of the BFG GRID Belt providing a secure storage hook that can be hung in lockers, closets, or on hooks. Professionals, firearms instructors, or shooting enthusiasts can now properly store their loaded belts with ease. The Battle Belt Hanger is a purpose-built solution designed to address the long-standing challenges of belt storage.

“The Battle Belt Hanger is a simple solution to a problem that’s aggravated many of us for years,” said Stephen Hilliard, Vice President of Business Development at Blue Force Gear. “By creating a dedicated hanging system that attaches directly to the buckle on the belt, we’ve eliminated wear points that can occur when gear is just piled up in the corner instead of stored properly. This gets the belt up off the ground and is still rapidly accessible when needed.”

Until now, range and duty belts had no proper storage solution. Users typically resorted to tossing them in corners, draping them over chairs, or cramming them into bags, resulting in damaged equipment, misshapen belts, and compromised functionality. The Battle Belt Hanger minimizes stress on stitching and belt materials while eliminating compression and friction between pouches and accessories.

Blue Force Gear consistently raises the bar in lightweight load-carriage equipment and innovates solutions like the Battle Belt Hanger. The Battle Belt Hanger is currently available in Black, Tan, and Blue on their website.
