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.
What started as a custom design built for his Force Recon platoon during a deployment became a lifelong mission for Travis Haley to build a rifle sling that works around the end user, and no the other way around.
The D3 Rifle Sling can be run in single point or two point configuration and has been designed to transition between the two moments. The sling includes two, positive locking QD swivels and features Haley’s proven, SDI single hand quick adjustment system.
The sling also debuts a low profile pad, inspired by climbing harnesses created by the world’s leading mountaineering companies. A 5-layer laminated construction sealed with stretch woven materials, the pad provides stability and comfort without adding weight or bulk.
The D3 Rifle Sling is the result of over 15 years of continuous use, revision and improvement, delivering a versatile platform intuitive to the point where the becomes a natural extension of the body.
I asked the folks at LBT Inc about this vest and they wouldn’t tell me much except that it was designed at the request of a customer and it was intended for maritime use. They also said that it would accept foam inserts.
There was a hidden gem in the Magpul booth. The Happy Claymore Bag is the result of the CORE team attempting to make a better bag for the M18A1 Claymore Mine. I don’t know what I like more, the smiley face at the front of the bag, the instructions and illustrations, or the actual functionality itself.
The bag opens up to expose a large sheet, similar to a rope bag which includes the instructions. This also makes it a good choice for an SSE bag. Open it up, place it on a flat surface, throw items of interest on the sheet, grab the four corners and all the loot slides into the bag. Of course, as you can see, the Happy Claymore Bag has lots of other uses as well.
