Hardpoint Technologies – Hardpoint Jungle Operations Vest (SELVA System)

Monday, May 5th, 2014

Hardpoint Technologies’ Jungle Operations Vest (SELVA System) is a lightweight vest that incorporates an integrated extraction (HOIST) harness along with an integrated hydration system.

The Jungle Operations Vest is made from Cordura nylon with heavy double and triple stitch patterns designed to stand up to short or prolonged operations in hot, humid, rainy climates. PALS webbing allows for desired equipment placement as the user requires. Snap fasteners at the lower portion of the vest allow for attachment of standard US Military pistol belt assembly.

The integrated HOIST harness assembly operates independently of the vest’s buckle assemblies so that no weight bearing load is placed on the vest itself during insertion/extraction. Extraction TYPE 7 webbing, reinforced with ballistic Kevlar mesh, is built within the interior of the vest, and the leg straps/saddle are secured in a drop pouch located in the rear of the vest for easy accessibility. Multi-Airframe tethers are attached to the TYPE 7 webbing loops and routed and secured on the left or right side with rigger parachute snap fasteners to ensure secured side locations and stability during applied stress.

The integrated hydration system is protected with ballistic Kevlar mesh that is virtually puncture resistant, and the hydration feedhose is accessible from the left or right side.

All webbing and metal hardware meets and/or exceeds US MilSpec standards.

Available in these colors and patterns: Olive Drab, Black, Coyote, MultiCam, and Foliage.

HSGI Launches 2 New TACOs – Extended Pistol Mag and High Capacity Mag

Thursday, May 1st, 2014

Yesterday, I spent the day with Swansboro, NC-based HSGI. Not only did I get to tour their new factory but they put me to work stringing some of their new TACOs. Why would they need me to help out? Because they are launching two new variants today and they wanted to make sure they wouldn’t go on back order. Below, you can see that my hand’s are moving so fast that they are just a blur.

But seriously, I put one of each together to get an appreciation of how they are manufactured and assembled.

The first is the Extended Pistol Taco® Universal Mag Pouch. Designed to accommodate most extended or high capacity pistol and sub gun magazines as well as large flashlights, collapsible batons and other survival equipment.

Dimensions: 1.75”H x 1.2”W x 6.25”L

The next is the High Capacity Magazine TACO. It’s designed to lock large capacity rifle and kalashnikov style shotgun magazines in place. Fits many radios as well.

Dimensions: 3”H x 1.2”W x 5”L

Both are offered in Black, Coyote, OD, MultiCam and more.
