It’s Friday and we have another edition of the FirstSpear OEM Partner Series where we take a look at a new company FS has partnered with and the equipment they build for them. Today we are checking out a great up-and-coming American equipment company, Shaw Concepts and the RAID Pouch.
Why was the RAID developed and why did you choose the Tubes system?
The RAID was developed from the lack of a good IFAK that could be easily removed and reattached. Most IFAKs on the market come off easily but once used don’t offer the user an easy way to pack up the contents and reattach the pouch. Some just dump out their contents, leaving the user to pick up their trash and just stuff it in their pockets or dump pouch. The RAID started out as a solution to this but proved itself to also make a great general utility plate carrier hanger pouch as well. The idea to use the FirstSpear Tubes came from my experience with the Tubes on the AAC I owned. They’re easy to connect and disconnect and they are short in distance from end to end making them fit well in the slim space between the plate carrier and RAID Pouch, something not many buckles can do well, which made it a simple choice. The ease of connecting with one hand without seeing it made it idea for lowlight and night time operations as well and that’s the sort of work our target customer base does.
Why did you choose FS manufacturing?
Once some of my designs caught a bit of traction and I found myself unable to fulfill the demand on my own sewing equipment I started looking into OEM options. FirstSpear turned out to be one and I was already familiar with their products and quality since I used their AAC Plate Carrier. I contacted them and to my surprise they answered and were willing to help and easy to work with.
Why is American manufacturing important to Shaw Concepts?
I fundamentally believe in American Exceptionalism and that as Americans it’s our responsibility to pioneer continuously. I also believe in taking care of fellow Americans and American Industries first. Most of us hate how much of what we use is made overseas and now that I’m in a position to choose to make things here or abroad I prioritize American manufacturing. Plus I get a sense of pride in seeing the ‘Made in the US’ tag on some of my products. I hope this shows in the quality of my products and the values of my business.
Why was Shaw Concepts started?
Shaw Concepts was started due to a lack of satisfaction in the gear offerings of the industry. Time and time again I found myself wishing for a particular piece of gear tailored to a certain purpose or just made well with the user’s comfort and use in mind. I found myself designing gear I wish I had and even making some early creations out of sea bag canvas with the help of my unit’s riggers. From there I started making things for fellow recondos around the barracks and coming up with new products like the RAID Pouch. I started an instagram (@ShawConcepts) for my creations; not planning for too much to come of it but people online and around the barracks were really impressed with what I came up with so from there it just kind of grew.
Coming this week from LMS Gear, in conjunction with Black Lion Gear, the Ankle, featuring six elastic pockets for carrying EDC or medical gear. Made in Germany with US materials.
Based on a mispronunciation of ‘Pineland’ the Peenland Camo was developed by On Station Apparel to honor their SF brothers. Fittingly, it is fashioned into a nut sack.
McLean, VA: In August 2019, Qore Performance released IcePlate Curve, the most innovative water bottle to date. Shaped and curved like a medium ESAPI plate, this wearable hydration reservoir integrates seamlessly into a user’s kit and provides unprecedented cooling and warming capabilities, protecting users from extreme environmental conditions. Its slim profile and multi-curve geometry make it the lightest and most versatile 1.5 L hydration reservoir on the market.
Now, with the IMS Flex and IcePlate MOLLE Combo, IcePlate Curve can be used as an amazingly flat, super strong replacement for traditional bladders with no compromises.
While IcePlate Curve easily attaches to a plate carrier using quick-release straps, some IcePlate Curve customers saw additional ways to integrate IcePlate into their kit. “We started to get daily requests from end-users who wanted to use IcePlate as a replacement for their external hydration reservoir, and preserving the MOLLE field on the Plate Carrier for all applications was a huge priority. Creating IcePlate MOLLE Sleeve (IMS) Flex was a quick step after that,” says Qore Performance Co-Founder & CEO Justin Li.
IMS Flex features include:
-No-Fail External Mounting: mount heavy tools (AT4s, Base Plates, etc.) on your hydration source without rupture concern
-Lightest-in-Class Hard Cell Hydration: combine IMS Flex with IcePlate Curve for optimized water carry and the thinnest hydration solution on the market
-Durable and Practical: rugged 500D Nylon construction features six full rows of MOLLE. Full three row MOLLE Loop field for identification measures 8.5″ w x 3″ h. Compatible with all MOLLE Plate Carriers
-Easy Access: bottom-loading design features YKK Zipper, allowing for quick IcePlate change-out and a tight, secure fit.
Great news for original IcePlate customers: IMS Flex is backwards compatible with all prior generations of IcePlate.
IMS Flex is currently available exclusively on www.qoreperformance.com in licensed MultiCam® and Coyote Brown; additional colors are expected over the next few months. The IcePlate MOLLE Combo can also be purchased on the website and includes an IMS Flex and IcePlate Curve. “Wearing IcePlate in the IMS Flex means the elimination of ruptured bladders, no wasted MOLLE fields, and finally sitting up comfortably while securely wearing your hydration reservoir in a vehicle. It’s the lightest, toughest, flattest solution available.”
Italian gear producer FROG.PRO worked on a different concept than other companies who make Foretrex covers. In fact, they divided the cover into several pieces in order to fulfill the different needs in different environments or mission profiles. The shell is separated from the rest so it can be easily mounted on any nav board, admin panel, buttstock or their Modular Reconnaissance Task Bag.
The cover flap, made of FROG.PRO’s proprietary laminated fabric LAHYCO which is laser cut, protects the PVC window from mud, debris and bad weather, as well as avoiding light reflections
The kit consists of 5 pieces:
• Protective shell
• Wrist strap
• Cover flap
• 40 cm of One-Wrap tape in Coyote 498 color
• 40 cm of One-Wrap tape in Black color
Made from HANK, the protective shell was designed to fit like a glove on the body of the GPS and comes in two sizes.
Available in Black, Tan 499, Coyote 498, Ranger Green, Vegetato EI, MultiCam, and MultiCam Black.

Denmark’s Tardigrade Tactical released their new Quantum Duty & Gunfighter Belt during Milipol.
The problem with so many belts for law enforcement officers is that in order to remain rigid, they end up being thick. Tardigarde’s solution is to incorporate three compartments in the belt which accept rigid polymer inserts to stiffen the belt. In this way, the user can stiffen the left and right front area for load carriage but leave the rear flexible for comfort, or stiffen the areas as needed.
When the inserts are removed, the belt can be folded for transportation or storage which has attracted shooting sports enthusiasts.
Additionally, the belt is cut on a curve to make it more comfortable.
Velcro lined, the Quantum Duty & Gunfighter Belt interfaces with many inner pant belts like Tardigrade’s own Low Profile Laminate Belt.
Finally, the belt is compatible with 50mm pouches and is PALS compatible.
Tardigrade Tactical exhibited in the Unit-Z booth.
