SWANSBORO, North Carolina – Aug. 17, 2015 – 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 the law enforcement and military markets worldwide. Our lengthy list of top tier operators includes U.S. and allied special forces, state and local tactical units, and hundreds of federal agencies.

In keeping with that standard, High Speed Gear is proud to release three new belt-mounted pouches! Complete your tactical belt setup today by adding our Soft TACO, Mag-Net Dump Pouch or general-purpose Pogey Pouch. As with the rest of our belt-mounted line, each of these pouches is compatible with belts from 1”-2” wide. The Velcro One-Wrap minimizes the need for belt keepers by covering loop Velcro with more loop Velcro.

Guest Review – Whiskey Two-Four Ultralight 8×3 Split Panel

Wednesday, August 12th, 2015

Recently released from Whiskey Two-Four is their Ultralight 8×3 Split Panel chest rig. Like previous rigs the Split Panel is laser-cut from a sheet of Hypalon and loops are stitched along the edges. These loops are the perfect place to attach the buckles of their improved Universal Chest Rig Harness or to simply tie it down to the outside of a pack. Like many chest rigs on the market it will buckle perfectly into plate carriers and other vests with buckles on the chest and the addition of a Velocity Systems Swift Clip kit makes for a perfect way to retain the sides. The rig itself weighs nearly nothing, is ultra-strong, and will not hold water; all properties drawn from the use of Hypalon.

Mixing and matching your favorite pouches makes for endless rig combinations, as well as breathing new life into old disused pouches. Each side of the panel gives you 4 vertical columns and 3 horizontal rows to work with and is joined by two 1″ buckles. The ability to run a slick carrier and quickly switch load carriage by mission profile or personal preference makes WTF’s platforms a strong, light and compact solution. I’ve found the Split-front to be an especially awesome addition to the straps of a Grey Ghost Gear Lightweight Assault Pack or Haley Strategic D3 Flat Pack as a way to add additional storage up front where it counts.

The Whiskey Two-Four Ultralight 8×3 Split Panel retails for $38.43 and the Universal Harness will set you back $45.

These items, additional chest rigs, and the many custom items you have in your mind are available via www.wtfidea.com.

OR – White River Fly Shop HEAT Tactical MOLLE-Style Fishing Vest

Monday, August 10th, 2015

While we were at OR, we spotted this vest over at the GoPro booth. After a bit of digging, we found out it’s mostly likely White River Fly Shop’s HEAT Tactical MOLLE-Style Fishing Vest. It’s pretty interesting to see how PALS and MOLLE has been adopted by the outdoor industry. Here’s some info on the vest:

The HEAT Tactical MOLLE-Style Fishing Vest utilizes PALS-style webbing for modularity. A zippered rear pocket allows for storage and also features webbing for additional modularity. Additional features include hook and loop attachment points for fly patches and adjustable padded shoulder straps. Mesh throughout helps with temperature regulation when worn.

Although you can use any PALS-compatible pouches with the vest, White River has produced their own line of load carrying pouches and accessories, including a water bottle/staff pouch, medium fly box pocket, and universal pistol holster.
