More On The CROPS CTR Belt

Tuesday, February 25th, 2014

CTR 1

There have been inquiries regarding color options for the CROPS CTR Belt aside from Black. Unfortunately, the CTR Belt will be available only in Black through the first production run. We were, however, sent images of a CTR set up for a sniper role and sprayed to match the operational environment.

CTR 2

As a reminder, the CROPS CTR Belt was designed as a lightweight rig, enabling the operator to carry their kit in a ‘low-profile’ manner. It has seen action in a covert role within Northern Ireland and Libya, worn underneath civilian clothing, in addition to Afghanistan on multiple compound raids.

CTR 3

No word on what color options will be available for the second run.

Those interested in purchasing a CTR Belt can contact Ben Wall of CROPS directly at info@crops.uk.com. The cost of the belt is £116, including postage. Be sure to mention the email associated with your PayPal account in the message, as that’s how the payment will be processed.

CTOMS – Turtle’s Harness

Friday, February 21st, 2014

turtle_harness_01

The Turtle’s Harness from CTOMS is a MOLLE plate carrier integrated chest harness system that creates a mid-chest attachment point for hoisting and high angle work. Fully compatible with the CTOMS M-Harness, the Turtle’s Harness raises the attachment point, significantly mitigating the potential of inverting, especially when wearing a heavy pack. It’s designed so that it integrates behind any pouches on the plate carrier, so as to not impede access or disrupt and/or crush contents such as radios and ammunition.

Available in Black and Coyote Brown.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Belt Systems

Friday, February 14th, 2014

This week, we are looking at Belt Systems. Specifically, FirstSpear offers a line of Belt Systems with components that can be used in conjunction with one another. In some cases they canb also be used as stand alones or to augment gear already in your kit bag. The items include the Assaulters Gun Belt (AGB), Padded AGB Sleeve, Tactical Suspenders, as well as the Line One Belt and 6/9 BeltLink.

Assaulters Gun Belt

FS Patterned AGB
The AGB utilizes a two-piece metallic buckle, it’s a strong belt that will stand up to daily use as well as combat equipped buddy drags. It can be integrated to the OAGRE for additional equipment space and also accommodate many different FirstSpear components that will help optimize it for the full spectrum of tactical and discretionary operations. Sizes Small – XLarge, in MultiCam, Khaki and Black

Padded AGB Sleeve

AGB Sleeve
The Padded AGB Sleeve fits over the AGB or similar gun belt to provide support, comfortable padding and additional load-bearing capability; compatible with standard MOLLE-style pouches as well as FirstSpear’s 6/9 and 6/12 pouch line. D-Rings included to attach to multiple suspension system harnesses.

Low Profile Tactical Suspenders

Low Profile Tactical Suspenders
These Tactical Suspenders are designed to support the additional weight of a loaded up Padded AGB Sleeve 6/12, particularly when ballistic inserts or multiple pockets are attached. Fully adjustable and low profile, they won’t get in the way of your armor.

Line One Belt


You wear pants everyday right? So how about a belt that you can wear with a pair of blue jeans just as easily as with your combat pants? That’s where the Line One Belt comes in. Made from BioThane, a Urethane covered Nylon offering superior strength and weather-resistance; it won’t crack, peel, or become stiff in frigid temperatures. Specially tempered, non-slip coating eliminates “break-in” time and allows for flex like leather, yet it is impervious to sweat and water and will not stretch or lose its original shape. Offered in Black or Coyote, sizes Small – XLarge, it isn’t fancy but it does feature the FirstSpear logo embossed fittingly, at the tip.

FS 6/9 BeltLink

BeltLink
The FS 6/9 BeltLink makes it simple to attach any of the popular 6/9 attachment-style FirstSpear pouches to an AGB or similar duty-style belt. Sold in sets of two. Simple, but effective.

This video gives you a great overview and shows you how to configure your gear.

While we can’t always expect a deal, FirstSpear has been generous enough to offer something special this week. Buy one AGB and get a set of free 6/9 belt links. When you add the AGB to the cart a set of TWO 6/9 belt links will add automatically to cart.
