I know we posted this during SHOT Show but I just had someone ask me about pouches for the Magpul D60. I haven’t seen any aftermarket pouches come out yet, but Magpul has one on the way that uses Tactical Tailor’s MALICE clips for PALS compatibility.
For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at three new additions to FirstSpear’s line of belt systems: the Base Belt, Tac Belt, and Lanyard V-Ring. These three systems are made with the same high quality materials and finish as all FirstSpear products, and integrate well with each other as well as existing FirstSpear belt systems.
Base Belt
The FS Base Belt is a low volume belt intended for everyday use. Constructed with a high nap Velcro pile exterior and a pliable webbing base, the Base Belt can be used in conjunction with the FS Tac Belt and/or the FS Slimline 6/12 AGB Sleeve. The Base Belt also features a pass-through-back-onto-istelf-buckle.
Available in Black, Coyote, and MultiCam.

Tac Belt
The FS Tac Belt is designed so that it can be worn with the Base Belt and/or the Slimline AGB 6/12 sleeve. It is less stiff than the AGB and features additional security loops. Additional points on the Tac Belt accommodate the integration of the V-Ring Lanyard.
Available in Black, Coyote, and MutiCam.

Tac Belt Lanyard V-Ring
The Lanyard V-Ring is designed to be integrated to the Tac Belt, or the AGB, for a security attachment point. Overall performance standard and weight bearing maximum is, according to FirstSpear, up to the user to define.
Available in Black and Coyote.

Attention all TAD Addicts, they are releasing the SERE Pouch 1 during tomorrow’s drop at 0900 PST.
The SERE Pouch 1 (SP1) is a micro tool roll engineered to provide secure and rapid access to survival, evasion, resistance and escape tools. Using vertical and horizontal compression, small tools can be secured into 5 flexible compartments or a removable micro sheath. They will offer a stand alone pouch or a loaded out version with essential E&E tools.
Deployment Scenarios

-To access the contents, unhook the G-Hook, pull down on the horizontal compression strap and unfold the SP1. The pouch will remain attached to the PALS platform in this open position, providing a mobile workspace to contain and organize small tools during use.
-The SP1 may be rapidly detached by unhooking the G-Hook and firmly pulling the pouch away from the PALS webbing.

We previewed the Pursuit Vest during last year’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market. It will be hitting the streets this year.
Although it only comes in one size, it has quite a bit of adjustment. The Pursuit is designed for use while hunting or fishing but would make a great utility best thanks to its four chest pockets and 70 oz hydration bladder capable rear pocket. There are also PALS fields for additional gear.
The Wild-Her is Slumberjack’s first pack designed specifically for the ladies.
You may notice the offset waist belt adjustment that keeps the buckle off of the belly button for comfort. This is just one component of their new, contoured hip belt built with the shape of women’s waists in mind. This 33L internal frame pack accommodates trophies as well as weapons and features six external pockets.
Both items are offered in Kryptek Highlander.
Tactical Assault Gear had quite a few new items for 2016. Here are some highlights.
Above is their new Padded Belt Sleeve. This belt sleeve features custom molded foam passing and will accommodate belts up to 2″ wide. The exterior is PALS compatible with slots every 1.75″ to allow the belt to be woven in order to expose the belt where needed. Available in sizes XS – XL in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam.
This is the Mini Combat Sustainment Pack. Available in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam, it offers a hydration sleeve for up to a 70 oz bladder, zippered main compartment and external zippered pouch. Additionally, there’s an external pouch for three 30 round M4 magazines which are secured with bungee. It incorporates PALS webbing for extra carriage. The Mini Combat Sustainment Pack can be attached to a vest via PALS or ITW GrimLoc.
The Quick Detach Vertical Medical Pouch incorprates the G-Code RTI wheel. This gives a great deal of versatility as there are G-Code platforms for use with belts as well as PALS. What’s more, it can easily be attached and detached. Available in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam, there’s plenty of room for your medical supplies.
The NavBoard Rotary allows users to attach a wide range of consumer electronic navigation devices, with or without a protective case, to the S&S Precision GRT system. It can be stowed close to the user’s body, and deployed in an open position and viewed in either a vertical or horizontal configuration. (Patents Pending)
Perroz Designs’ Minimalist Slick Plate Carrier (MSPC) is designed as a bare minimum plate carrier, which still features a degree of modularity for those who want a bit more. It is constructed of 500D Cordura, with 15 oz. DuPont Hypalon shoulder straps, 3D spacer mesh 3mm padding inner material, and a 4″ polyester webbing elastic cummerbund. For customization, users can take advantage of the included ITW QASM buckles and a large Velcro loop panel on front for mounting load-carrying pouches, a chest rig, etc.

I had a chance to catch up with Orion Design Group. They gave me a peek at a couple of new items in their Lupus camouflage pattern.
In addition to this Lupus helmet cover for the Crye Precision AirFrame helmet, they’ve got a MOLLE Chassis for the S&S Precision PlateFrame.
