The CFF Claymore Bag is now available in a limited run of 100 99 in Ranger Green (I just bought one).

When I was in the Army, if you were anybody, you had a Claymore Bag. It might be used for a shaving kit or for use as a range bag but it was a highly prized item. The one that comes with the actual mine is made from cotton duck and while it’s durable, it was designed to be disposable, so it is far from indestructible.

Enter Combat Flip Flops. They’ve sourced a USA Made version of the iconic Claymore Bag that incorporates multiple new features. First and foremost is construction. They’ve switched to modern, durable materials. Second, and the gussetted exterior pockets that are large enough to accept an iPad Mini. Additionally, the bag’s two exterior pockets each accept Velcro inserts and the main pocket’s interior is daisy chained with 1″ nylon webbing to accept shock cord. CFF has also introduced redundant closures including button, hook and loop, and Figher Design covert magnetic closures. Finally, a 5.56 mag/cell phone holder and sunglass case come standard with each Claymore Bag.

-IPad mini holder (optional)
-iPad holder (optional)
-Surface holder (optional)
-Kindle Holder (optional)

The current limited run is made from Ranger Green LiteLok with Black, Dark Earth, Ranger Green, and You Can’t Miss Me Silver in Cordura coming in July.

This is Tactical Tailor’s Improved 152 Pouch which was designed at the request of a SOF customer.

It features elastic long the sides so that you can run the radio with side plates attached.

Additionally, as you can see, nothing covers or goes over the knobs. There is also an elastic cinch with SR buckle that helps eliminate the “152 wiggle”.

CORE Panel Tease from Austere Provisions Company – Updated

Thursday, June 6th, 2013

We first mentioned the CORE panel from Austere Provisions Company last fall.

20130605-150822.jpg

Basically, it’s a PALS-compatible panel insert that allows you to configure a load and place it directly into a messenger-style bag. Pretty ingenious. The photo above features a CORE Panel festooned with Blue Force Gear pouches.

UPDATE – Here’s a photo of the CORE Panel without pouches. The BFG MOLLEminus construction is quite obvious.
