I’m pretty excited about this. Austere Provisions Company has been working on bringing the CORE Panel to market for some time now and just last month they announced that Blue Force Gear would be making the PALS-compatible panel insert from their proprietary ULTRAcomp™ material. The CORE Panel can be configured with various loadouts and interned into a bag.
Now, Austere Provisions has announced that they are in production and should be in stock in 30 days.
Honor Point USA expands their ZOT Line with this Wet Mesh Duffle. The MultiCam mesh bag allows your gear to breath and dry out.
As you can see, the Zip Off Technology makes this bag modular. Like the man says, “Dive , Gym , Beach…DGB .. Whatever floats your boat Jack.”
US Palm is putting the finishing touches on their eTravel Kit this week. The courier bag features a modern styling to better blend with the urban environment, but stays true to their product vision of being armor capable and build to withstand daily use World-wide. The matching iPad case will also be available separately. Both of these items, along with a few other sundry products will be available by early Fall.
Multi-purpose Molle Panel from British Tactical meansures 6 PALS wide x 4 PALS high (smaller Panels will be available soon). It can be used in a wide variety of configurations including dropleg, chest rig, bug out platform, belt pad and as many other ways as you can come up with.

The Vector Chest Rig is part of Raine’s Black Line. They’ve put together a release to tell you a little more about it. I checked the large version out at SOFIC and came away impressed.
“Lighter .. Faster .. Stronger” could not be more appropriate for the new Raine Black Vector LCP. Vector LCP (Load Carry Platform) is our new “no webbing MOLLE solution”. The platforms are made using a nylon coated material and is made here in the USA. They are laser but and not laminated with Cordura nylon fabric. The biggest advancement in this material, unlike other fabrics in its category, is the pull strength we were able to achieve on a single MOLLE channel. We originally unveiled this at SHOT Show post pull testing and spent some time with some large human beings trying to rip it apart (standing on it and pulling, two arm pull, then tug of war), which they failed to do.
In the current configuration, we are running these in a large and a mini, which is what’s currently in our warehouse. They are fitted with a standard cut and sew harness with laser cut harnesses in the works. They are in the process of getting harnesses assembled and attached as we speak. That said, split front systems have been prototyped and are ready to go to the laser cutter now. Quickly following will be our armor carrying systems. We have some really great things in the works on that front and will be ready to show them very soon.
There are currently 800 being put together, 400 of each the small and large. Both the Small and Large Rigs are offered in Coyote, MultiCam, and Foliage Green.
Available July 21, 2013. To pre-order, call Regena at 1-800-826-5354 or email her at rainemail@raineinc.com.
The guys from Ares Armor showed me this cool belt at “The Shot Heard ‘Round The World” in New Hampshire this past April. Now, it’s finally available.
It’s a two-piece design that incorporates a lot of thought. Consisting of a Micro Belt and Keeper Belt, they work together as a System. Ares Armor released some info on it which I have offered here along with the photos I took in New Hampshire.
Ares Armor Micro Belt
The Ares Armor Micro Belt has a tubular nylon core with a tensile strength of 6,000 lbs., an Austrialpin 1” Cobra Buckle of 18kn or approximately 4,500 tensile strength and an Austrialpin D Ring with a tensile strength of 5,000 lbs. making a rugged belt that would rip the end user in half before failing; but not to worry it has .25” closed cell foam for the end users comfort. It also has a .030” strip of plastic to aid in rigidity and securing your holster. On the outside are three stripes of .75” webbing. YKK loop lines the inside of the Micro Belt.
Although we do not intend for you to use the Micro Belt in a load bearing manner, and we assume not responsibility if you do; here is a picture of our heavily sleep deprived Product Engineer after a 90 hour work week prior to SHOT 2013 repelling off the pellet racks in the sew shop.
Ares Armor Keeper Belt (Hook Belt Liner)
Proprietary hook buckle, tailless design and hook covers provide a Keeper Belt unlike any other on the market. The Ares Armor Keeper Belt is made of YKK hook and loop, 6061 Aluminum buckle and Type 13 (1.75”) rigger belt webbing.
Micro Belt and Keeper Belt as a System
The Ares Armor Micro and Keeper Belts are built to work together as a system. Unlike the conventional bulky MOLLE War Belts that slide around, the Micro Belt has a slimmer profile. This reduces unnecessary bulk and weight around the end users waist, increasing agility and stamina while locking into the keeper belt installed on the pants. The profile of this belt is so slim in fact it fits in the belt loops of most pants to include the 1” cobra buckle and D ring while maintaining the ability to attach most standard Molle accessories and Kydex belt loops. Unlike standard Keeper Belts that have a hook exposed all the time, the Ares Armor Keeper Belts have flaps to cover the hooks while not in use; so whether you are a civilian headed to the range or Military personnel on the FOB on standby for mission, the Micro Keeper Belt System is good for running slick or securing your sub-load.
Micro Belt Tactical System Availability
Ares Armor Micro Belt Tactical System is driven by customer feedback and built quality integrity. The New Micro Belt is available for immediate purchase at:
