High Speed Gear – Duty-Grip Padded Belt

Tuesday, July 25th, 2017

SWANSBORO, North Carolina – July 25, 2017 – High Speed Gear® has a history of producing some of the most versatile tactical pouches and platforms in the industry. A proven performer, HSGI® continues to show tremendous popularity in law enforcement, military and shooting sports markets worldwide. Our extensive list of top tier operators includes U.S. and allied special forces, state and local tactical units, and federal agencies.

HSGI® is proud to announce the Duty-Grip Padded Belt, a new, slimmer padded belt designed for any duty rig configuration. These belts have been field tested by numerous law enforcement officers and agencies to ensure we created a system to meet their needs.

The Duty-Grip is constructed with durable 1000D Cordura® and our popular neoprene padding to add a gel-like comfort and unsurpassed grip. This belt is available in two versions: the standard Duty-Grip features a complete series of vertical laser-cut slots that allow a rigger or duty belt to weave securely to expose any or nearly all of the belt for attaching belt-mounted pouches and holsters, while the Duty-Grip M features a four-column, laser-cut MOLLE panel on the back for attachment of MOLLE pouches or accessories. Because of its unique design, paired inner belts don’t require interior Velcro®. At 2.75” tall, the Duty-Grip is our slimmest padded belt yet and is still compatible with belts up to 2”.

The Duty-Grip and Duty-Grip M are available now!

Made 100% in the USA, Battle-Proven Tactical Gear.

Warrior East 2017 – Kelty Small Rolling Trunk

Tuesday, July 18th, 2017

Making its debut at Warrior East is the Small Rolling Trunk from Kelty. It’s about half the size of its big brother at ~5,000 cu in. Made from 1000D Cordura, it features haul handles and four external pockets.

Additionally, it is Berry Compliant. But the big story here is the metal frame.

I’ll categorize it as virtually indestructible. I say virtually because if you challenge Joe with a claim of indestructible, he’ll do anything to prove it wrong, even to the point of wrecking his own equipment.

Unfortunately, that beefy frame is going to have some heft to it, but I don’t have a weight for it yet. Coming very soon, from www.kelty.com/military.

Warrior East 2017 – Petzl Caritool & Caritool Evo

Monday, July 17th, 2017

Petzl’s Caritool (left) was originally designed as an Ice Screw Holder. The carabiner design attaches to a climbing harness (or other belt) and has an integrated clip to held it in place. It can be used to attach a variety of gear, including ear pro on a gun belt.

The newer Caritool Evo (right) has an even deeper basket and a different, rear mounted, tension attachment system so it can be used with wider belts.

Warrior East 2017 – Eagle Industries ULV Tactical

Friday, July 14th, 2017

This is the Ultra Lightweight Vest – Tactical which is an evolutionary development of the US Army’s ULV.

Eagle added an adjustable cummerbund which is reinforced with laminate, laser cut with the same design as the shoulder straps. There’s also an optional elastic strap for times when you don’t need a full cummerbund. Additionally, the interior of the vest is made from 4-way stretch Tweave material and the shoulder straps are padded with Tweave. There are four sizes for the ULV Tactical but thanks to the Tweave, the panels will accommodate a variety of plates thicknesses. At the rear are #5 zips which will accept Eagle back panels. You’ll also notice a drag handle.

Another change from the baseline model is that the ULV Tactical will accept the removable front flaps from the Aero.

As a complimentary piece, Eagle introduced a Ultra Lightweight Chest Rig which is made from laminate and weighs 11 oz. Without the shoulder straps it’s just 7 oz. It also accepts the Aero’s front flaps.
