Tactical Assault Gear – Vanguard Plate Carrier
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2014Tactical Assault Gear’s New Vanguard Plate Carrier utilizes licensed technology from Crye Precision. The result is a modular plate carrier with an interchangeable cummerbund system. Users can either choose a standard MOLLE cummerbund or the Skeletal cummerbund. The front panel is sewn in place and is adjustable to carry M4, AK-47, or SCAR-H magazines, eliminating the need for alternate magazine panels and pouches. Built-in padding on the shoulder straps in addition to Aero Mesh covering the front and back panels offer better breathability and comfort.
Interestingly, when we discussed the licensed skeletal cummerbund, TAG told us how easy it was to work with Crye Precision to license the design. Communication was open and prompt. Once TAG developed the prototype, they said Crye was quick to sign off on it and execute an agreement.
The Vanguard will be debuting today at Modern Day Marine. Stop by Tent C, Booth 3305 to check out the Vanguard as well as other quality TAG products. It will be available for purchase starting in October.

Pivotal Defence Solutions – FCSR
Monday, September 22nd, 2014
With the FCSR (Fighting Clearing Standing Reconaissance) webbing system, Pivotal Defence Solutions looked to design a belt order kit which would allow the operator to carry out the four types of patrolling: Fighting, Clearing, Standing, and Reconnaissance.
To this end, they developed a series of individual pouches which are designed to fit any standard 45mm/50mm belt. The pouches are secured using an envelope system, which creates a double-padded hip pad, and also allows for ballistic protection to be integrated into the pad to form a blast belt. This customizable design means that if at any point any of the component pouches are damaged or mission requirements change, they can easily be replaced without disrupting the rest of the pouches; the pouches join side-by-side using a MOLLE strip, which keeps the shape of the belt kit around the operator’s body and stops unwanted movement during dynamic action.
The FCSR line is constructed from quality military specification materials which are treated for being rot proof, UV resistant, infrared and fire resistant. Additionally, each pouch is lined and comes with storm hoods and drainage holes. Currently, Pivotal Defence is offering the FCSR pouches in the following configurations:
– LMG/A2 commanders pouches
– Standard utility pouches
– Butt pouch
– Dump bag
– MBITR pouch
– Bayonet frog
– Rip away medic’s pouches
– Side arm holsters
– Various magazine pouches, as well as 7.62mm and 5.56mm link pouches
Additionally, Pivotal Defence has also built two yolks for the FCSR line. The first is an H-yolk which features an integral bladder pouch on the back. The second is an adjustable mesh and webbing vest which can take a rear plate and has the ability to don a front plate bag using G-hooks and M/F clips.
