Sunnyvale, CA — Thyrm expands its CellVault™ line of storage products with the new CellVault™ XL. It features twice the capacity of the original CellVault while staying small enough for easy mounting and instant accessibility.
Users can store up to 6 CR123’s, 8 AAA’s, 4 AA’s, and even two 18650 rechargeable batteries. A removable, internal divider keeps batteries safe and organized. With the divider removed, the CellVault XL can hold a no-compromises survival kit or make sure data and valuables stay protected and handy.
“Customers love the original CellVault’s slim profile for adding critical battery storage to their gear, but many have a bit more dedicated space. So we designed the CellVault XL to maximize storage on a full MOLLE/PALS column. The extra space lets users carry more survival items, more batteries, and adds the ability to store 18650 rechargeables,” stated Thyrm CEO Andrew Frazier. “We were blown away by how many uses customers found for the original CellVault, so we can’t wait to see how the XL’s larger capacity allows for even more possibilities.”
Like the original CellVault, the XL is built to withstand the elements. Mounting also remains unchanged. The CellVault XL easily attaches to one available M.O.L.L.E. webbing column, straps or belts, and features lanyard loops at both ends for more attachment options. It’s available in black, urban gray, olive drab, flat dark earth, and rescue orange to match the user’s gear or intended environment.
Thyrm is proud to design and manufacture the entire CellVault product-line in the USA. Available at your favorite local dealer, online retailer, and thyrm.com.
During our SHOT Show coverage we told you about SOTECH’s Recce Vest based on the item issued to the British SAS for decades and officially known as the Pack, Lightweight Combat. Now, their modernized version is available for order.
SOTECH presents a high ride vest that rides above gun belts / LBE Harnesses and over plate carriers.
The Recce Vest was designed as a lightweight vest with large pocket capacity to be folded up in your pocket or pack. While this is ideal for recce applications, it is also well suited for SERE, narcotics eradication, motor bike use, and numerous other uses.
This vest has some improvements over the UK models with flap or shock cord retention on the two smaller front pouches – you can engage the flap, or fold it away to use just the shock cord. We also added a cinchable storm hood to the back pack for retention. The vest is made of 500D Cordura for lightweight durability. Removable foam insert providing padding for optics and electronics sold separately.
Features:
• 5 Compartments (4 front pockets, 1 Rear pack)
• Lightweight design, small buckles, ¾ in webbing
• Dimensions:
-Rear Pack- 10″ x 12″ x 4.5″
-Large Front Pockets- 9.5″ x 6″ x 2.5″
-Smaller Front Pockets- 5″ x 4″ x 1.5″
• Material: 500D Cordura Nylon®, Elastic, Small Polymer Buckles, Heavy webbing
• Made in the USA
SKD Tactical has partnered with FirstSpear to create the STT.1 Plate Carrier, an inexpensive carrier featuring both 6/12 and Tubes technology, optimized for use with SDK’s 10×12 armor plates. SKD’s rather spirited release/product description can be read below:
Combine the technological advances of First Spear and the marketing gonads of SKD in a dirty, backseat tryst, and the only thing that could gestate is a ground-breakingly evil product like the First Spear STT (Six-Twelve-Tubes) Plate Carrier.
Add to that the ultra high performance-to-cost-ratio of the SKD Armor Level IV Plates and a re-design of the STT to fit these plates like a custom Italian suit, and voila… TACTICAL ORGASM, otherwise known as the “STT.1”.
The First Spear STT.1 PC features the following:
First and only sub $200 plate carrier featuring BOTH 6/12™ and Tubes™ technology.
ONLY FITS SKD Armor 10×12 Plates, but fits them PERFECTLY.
All-Molle compatible front, back and cummerbund.
Weights 1.5 lbs.
Bottom flap pushes the plate to the top of the pocket for proper placement over your upper thoracic region.
Exclusive SKD-spec loop fastener strips to add PIG AFC Pontoons for increased air flow and padded goodness.
3 different cummerbund sizes to maximize fit*.
Available in Ranger Green, Black, Coyote, Multicam, and MultiCam Black
Made in USA.
SKD Exclusive!
We’ve also packaged the STT.1 with 2 SKD Armor 10×12 Level IV plates for an incredible deal at $499! Click HERE for the complete package!
If you’re looking for a turnkey belt system, you might want to check out the Assaulter’s System from G-Code. It offers 2 Scorpion Softshell Pistol and 2 Scorpion Softshell Rifle magazine carriers arranged side by side, attached to the included Operator’s Belt via their new R2 & P2 clips. It also includes 1 RTI Rotating Belt mount and 1 RTI Optimal Drop pistol platform as well as a GSG015 med pouch.
While the graphic shows a Holster, it’s sold separately. However, this kit also features their new Operator’s Belt which is a dual belt system incorporating a lightweight inner belt with outward facing loop pile. This inner belt is intended to be worn by weaving through the trouser loops and secures with a low profile buckle. The outer belt is lined with a mating hook material and secures, outside the trouser loops to the inner belt. Together they form a solid, comfortable, low profile, load bearing system. These belts are all Cordura wrapped and the RTI Med Pouch comes standard with a black anodized RTI hanger.
Black Lion Gear is a German nylon goods manufacturer, and has created a tactical smoking pipe bag, which would make an excellent compliment to a camo smoking jacket, like this one. SPARTANAT’s translated and edited article on the bag can be read below:
BLACK LION GEARs smoking pipe bag is made of 500D Cordura. To insure a high-level comfort for the content they use a lightweight nylon ripstop fabric. For the perfect fit of the required smoking utensils a 50mm wide rubber strap is implemented. The smoking pipe bag gets closed by Velcro. For your personal identification they attached an extra velcro surface to bring on your name tape.
Size: 40cm x 20cm
Colors: Coyote Brown, Black, RAL 7013, Pencott Greenzone, Multicam (Further colors are available on request.)

I realize it sounds like sushi, but the Kraken Roll was created by Jim Erwin and Freedom Hill Gear to organize items while traveling.
The interior construction of this 500D Cordura roll is similar to PALS but utilizes elastic rather than standard webbing in order to hold items in place. Once rolled shut, the Kraken is secured via elastic so it will accommodate a wide variety of items.
Today, Kryptek is formally launching a line of load carriage pouches.
There’s a wide variety of pouches available, with the photo depicting just a few examples. They are PALS compatible and offered in Highlander, Mandrake and Typhon.
