Mini Kit MK-7 In A-TACS AU

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014

This is an announcement from PredatorBDU regarding the availability of 20DollarBandit’s Mini Kit MK-7 in A-TACS AU.

A-TACS AU Mini Cactus Patch

We are excited to announce that PredatorBDU will be offering the Mini Kit MK-7 EXCLUSIVE in A-TACS AU!

We have been big fans of 20DollarBandit Mini Kit MK-7 since we first saw it on Kickstarter. In case this is your first time seeing the MK-7 it is a Custom 5.5″ x 5.5″ pouch designed to hold small pieces of gear and fit into your cargo pocket, EDC backpack, automobile glove box or bug out bag. The inside of the pouch provides tons of organizational space giving you endless options for stowing gear such as knives, cash or cards, chem lights, smart phones, flashlights or headlamps, compass, paracord, maps, multi-tools, fire starters, first aid kits, pens, notepads, and just about anything else that you would normally find loose in your cargo pocket.

A-TACS AU Mini Cactus

The Mini Kit MK-7 is small, modular and works great as an EDC cargo pocket organizer for everyday carry. The Mini Kit MK-7 does not require fine motor skills to open under stress as there are no zippers and the clamshell design allows you to add as much gear as you want to the pouch without having to worry about it closing. If you have a few MK-7’s then you could modularize your EDC and simply grab the MK-7 appropriate for the day’s activities and go.

The Mini Kit MK-7 is manufactured 100% in the USA by Ares Armor using 1000D Nylon. Eric (20$Bandit) spent a good deal of time working with Ares Armor over the last two years on the design of the pouch. The MK-7 indicates it is the 7th prototype created with a plethora of field testing along the way to perfect the final production model. If you are interested in the history of the pouch you can check out Eric’s YouTube video below for his Kickstarter Campaign.

The interior the Mini Kit MK-7 features two large pockets with one pocket having a clear plastic window for visibility. There are three double-layered reinforced bungee loops with 2″ bungee at the base and 1″ bungee on top creating multiple retention options for your tools and kit. A retention pouch at the base holds any extended length tools from sliding out of the pouch. There is also an ITW Plastic D-Ring for retention that lays flat within the pouch when closed, this stops the D-ring from hanging-up as you remove it from your cargo pocket. On the exterior there is a strip of Velcro loop for nametape, ID, or other morale patches. The 1” bungee retention strap pulls over the pouch once closed to retain all of your gear.

Mini Kit Interior Packed Desert

In addition to the Mini Kit MK-7, we are offering the optional Mini Medic pouch, designed by 20$Bandit to fit in the clear plastic pocket of the Mini Kit MK-7. It comes in watertight re-sealable bag from Loksak and contains a comprehensive “bobo” style first aid kit. This is a great add-on for those that want to outfit their Mini Kit with a robust first aid kit right out of the box. The Mini Medic kit comes complete with Personal Anti-Microbial wipes x 4, one roll of .5″ adhesive tape, Burn Jel 3.5 g x 2, Moleskin x 2, Oval Eye Pad, Wound Closure Strips .25″ by 4″, Sheer Strips 1″ by 3″ x 10, Sterile Gauze Pad 3″ by 3″ x 4, Knuckle Bandages x 5, Hydrocortizone 1% Creme 1.5 g x 2, Mylar Space Blanket, and Triple Antibiotic Ointment, .9 g x 2.

Thursday, March 27th, 2014

paris_01

The CTOMS’ PARIS is a retrofit to the CTOMS 2ndLine Pack featuring the MQRB shoulder straps. It is compatible with most MOLLE armor/plate carriers and integrates with limited effect on mounted pouches and equipment. This eliminates the traditional shoulder strap configuration that can cause problems such as:

– Restriction of circulation to the arms
– Restriction of shoulder and arm range of motion
– Negative impact on shooting stance
– Negative impact on mobility, flexibility, and agility
– Negative impact on long term comfort

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

pig-bomber-mag-pouch-ss

Manufactured from Nylon webbing, the PIG Bomber Mag Pouch’s construction offers 45.3 million times the abrasion resistance as standard nylon (ok, it’s not THAT much, but it’s more). The PIG Bomber Mag Pouch is also lightweight at 2.4 ounces (2.8 oz for the double).

PIG Bomber Mag Pouch - Side

This also makes for a super slim pouch but it relies on additional devices like MALICE clips or zip ties to be PALS compliant.

PIG Bomber Mag Pouch - rear

You might notice that the pull tab is made of Hypalon which makes it great for use in wet conditions. There is also a small grommet at the floor of the pouch to facilitate drainage. Additionally, the flaps on both the Single and Double versions can be tucked into the body for an easy-access open top pouch.

PIG Bomber Mag Pouch - Double

The Double version of the PIG Bomber Mag Pouch incorporates an internal elastic strap to held your rear magazine fast while you draw the front mag.
