JUNE 11, 2019, Pinehurst, NC—The world of tactical belts can be confusing and overwhelming, especially when trying to find a belt that works best for you and your application.
In our mind, getting the right belt boils down to three basic needs:
1. I need a good belt to hold my pants up. If you just need a belt to hold your pants up then we have you covered. We suggest one of our single layered universal belts. For Example: The 1.75” Tactical Garrison Belt offers great strength and support. This belt’s single-layered 7,000-pound mil-spec webbing will not only hold your pants up, but it will also provide a strong platform for lighter-weight gear.
2. I need a belt for my EDC Pistol and extra magazine. So you’re looking for a belt that is comfortable and can hold your Everyday Carry Pistol. Whether you carry IWB or OWB, the Tactical Gun Belt is just what you need. Available in both 1.50” and 1.75” widths, the heavy-duty 2,000 lb. Cobra Buckles provide security, accessibility, and comfort. A special poly stiffener system also provides extra support for heavier firearms or additional gear.
3. I need a survival belt that will carry all my gear. If you’re looking for a belt to keep your pants up, carry lots of equipment, and be used in emergency situations, check out our Riggers Belt Line. All belts feature double-walled, 7,000 lb. mil-spec webbing providing the strength you need while offering a comfortable soft edge design that doesn’t dig into your sides. The forged Steel V-Ring buckles are load tested at 2,500 lbs. giving the user peace of mind during emergency situations.

For this Friday Focus we are taking a look at a FirstSpear Non-Stocking Non-Standard item, the Roo Panel. Originally developed for a FS professional user to meet a unique mission set this pocket can be used as storage for maps, info cards, electronics, medical, or anything else you may need with you out in the field. The interior of the pocket is loop-backed thanks to FirstSpear Laser Cut 6/12 so you can attach FirstSpear Ragnar pockets on interior as well as mount any standard 6/12, 6/9, or MOLLE style pocket to the exterior.
Non-Stocking Non-Standard items are available in limited colors and sizes while supplies last, no back orders will be filled.
Based on Tactical Walls’ ModWall Home System, the VMod tailgate organizer uses the same slot style attachment system for hangers. It is attached to the interior of the tailgate and you can swap out different panel configurations, based on your needs. It’s just another way to organize your equipment and overlanders love organization.
They offer version to fit Jeep JL, JK and/or Rubicon models as well as Toyota FJs.
Launched at SHOT Show, the Operator COBRA IDR 1.75” Rigger Belt is now available. In fact, I saw this low-profile shooter’s belt at both Rampart Range Day and CANSEC so it’s picking up a lot of interest in Canada.
It’s a PALS compatible two-belt system. The outer belt is made from two layers of military-grade Type 13 nylon webbing, sewn together with five rows of lock-stitched, bonded 138 nylon thread. It also features an additional layer of 1.5” webbing, triple backtacked every 1.5” to create industry-standard columns of PALS for use with MOLLE pouches and holsters. Aside from being reinforced with double needle binding, the belt is topped off with a COBRA integrated D-ring buckle in matte black finish.
You also get your choice of HSGI Inner Belt or Micro Grip Belt Panel to mate with the Operator’s interior hook Velcro. That Micro Grip Panel offers some serious padding that won’t move around on you.
See the website for sizing and current color selections.
Awhile back we teased the Team Wendy SAR Radio Rig. Now, it’s about a month out.
This is the final version of the chest rig which will only be offered in Black. It features laser cut PALS and comes with two PALS equipped pouches. One for the radio and a second for admin items. The front panel will still drop forward in order to view items such as maps which can be stored in a clear acetate compartment.
The harness is fully adjustable and the rear yoke has PALS channels in order to accept additional pouches, or a hydration system.
Team Wendy is also introducing the communication headset system for SAR applications. It’s an in-ear product made by Silynx and is available now.
Qore Performance unveiled two exciting new products at SOF Select, the brand new ICE (IcePlate Carrier Exoskeleton) and the new and improved IcePlate 3, available this summer.
ICE is a new type of ultra-minimalist, scalable, plate carrier. ICE integrates multiple capabilities never before found in a single platform that weighs so little yet withstands so much. IcePlate 3 brings the same 50 oz capacity and 70 Watt cooling power as did IcePlate 2, now in a new multi curve shape to perfectly match a medium ESAPI plate.
Both additions to the Qore Performance line are dedicated to its mission of providing American troops the means of consistently achieving Individual Operator Overmatch.
Specifically:
ICE (IcePlate Carrier Exoskeleton)
The IcePlate Carrier Exoskeleton is a new type of ultra-minimalist, but scalable, plate carrier. ICE integrates multiple capabilities never before found in a single platform that weighs so little yet withstands so much, taking you toward and to Individual Operator Overmatch.
Using a unique and incredibly strong laser-cut, ultra-high molecular weight laminate that is 14 times stronger than steel, ICE weighs approximately one pound. This makes it one of the lightest plate carriers available today. It is also hydrophobic. With MAPs and loop on both the inside and the outside of each sleeve as well as an open-bottom architecture, ICE is configured for maximum ventilation, modularity and drainage.
ICE combines medium ESAPI plates with the all-new ESAPI-contoured IcePlate 3 (see below) for fully integrated hydration, conductive cooling and, in cold climates, conductive heating. Evaporative cooling can be added easily with IceVents Ventilated Padding. The Exoskeleton is built from individual ICE sleeves which can be stacked (via MOLLE and/or hook and loop) for streamlined carry of ESAPI armor plates and IcePlate 3. Don/doff is easy with a flat and durable quick-release system. ICE also features an elastic cummerbund with four pouches for 30-round magazines, SOARescue MedMags, radios, etc. ICE is also equipped with MOLLE, hook/loop and Swift Clips to accept almost every pouch/placard system available today.
ICE anchors all of Qore Performance’s human enhancement and environmental inoculation technologies. This puts them into a single, ultra-light, durable and breathable platform with unrivaled capabilities. It’s a breakthrough.
ICE will be available this summer in Multicam, Coyote Brown and Black.
ICE Maximizes Individual Operator Overmatch with the following features:
• Weight: Ultralight, ~1 pound
• Integrated Cooling/Heating/Hydration: ICE natively integrates IcePlate 3 and IceVents to provide two
forms of cooling (Conductive and Evaporative), and up to 3L of Hydration. No other plate carrier on the market can offer this level of capability in such a light package.
• Versatile: MOLLE, Swift Clips and Loop to take any pouch, placard or chest rig on the market
• Advanced Fit: Fits a Medium ESAPI, elastic cummerbund works for up to 40” waist
• Stackable: Multiple ICE sleeves can be seamlessly stacked when wearing, enabling integration of IcePlate either inside or outside armor plates.
• Incredibly Strong: our unique laminate is 14 times stronger than steel for the same weight
• Hydrophobic: will not absorb or retain water
• Load Bearing: tensile strength of 600+ pounds
• High Tech: laser cut laminate platform results in maximum weight savings, precision, and ventilation
• Stretch: Elastic cummerbund flexes and adapts to your mission clothing automatically and features secure, built-in pouches for up to four (4) 5.56 magazines
• Lightning Fast On and Off: super fast Quick Release side buckles are flat, low profile and strong.
IcePlate 3
IcePlate is the world’s most powerful and efficient cooling and hydration system. The size of a medium SAPI plate, it ergonomically holds 50 oz (1.5 L) of water and gives you control over your environment – keeping you safer, lighter, cooler, and hydrated.
All-new for Summer 2019, IcePlate 3 brings the same 50 oz capacity and 70 Watt cooling power of IcePlate 2 andut in a new multicurve shape to perfectly match a medium ESAPI plate. This provides a compact and seamless inter- face, and the thinnest profile ever.
With an enlarged fill port and center Q-Hex Baffle, IcePlate 3 builds on the success of the original IcePlate design to drive Individual Operator Overmatch to the next level.
IcePlate 3 will be available in Coyote Brown, Gun Metal Grey, Ranger Green and Clear Frost.
