TYR Tactical Tuesday – Combat Adjustable Double Rifle Mag Pouch

Tuesday, July 18th, 2017

The Patented TYR Tactical® Combat Adjustable Double Rifle Mag Pouch holds two mags and is designed to conform to both the 5.56 and 7.62 magazines. Engineered with an extremely clean and simple tension adjustment at the bottom, you can change its capabilities in seconds without having to remove the pouch itself. An internal divider incorporates contact-grip material to secure the mags when retention strap is not being used. This allows for a nice smooth draw and quick access for fast mag exchange without impeding the adjustability of the pouch.

Features:
• Wt: 4.8oz.
• Starting Dim: 4.5” H x 3.25” W x 2” D
• 500-denier Cordura®
• US Patent No. 9,394,080, Australia patent No. 2014200881, Europe Patent No. 2777428, Patent Pending in Canada

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.

Neither are designed as personal protective equipment.

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.

The Chest Rig has dual AN/PRC-152 radio pouches on the interior and the rig can be attached via side release buckles directly to the ULV Tactical.

Offered in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green, Grey and MultiCam.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Meet The Multimag And See More At Warrior East

Friday, July 7th, 2017

FirstSpear is in the business of building advanced lightweight armor platforms and load bearing equipment designed for the professional user. Next week FirstSpear will be displaying their wares in Virginia Beach at ADS Warrior Expo East and will be debuting an all new pocket designed to secure a variety of different magazines. You get the first look at the Multimag pocket today.

I have been sworn to secrecy on the Multimag since last summer. The adjustable dial allows the user to customize tension. It’s great to see it finally coming to market. But please note, the Multimag is not available for order yet. See it, and other FirstSpear products, in person at booth #1408 at Warrior East, July 13 – 14th in Va Beach.
