HonorPoint USA displayed several products in the Darley Defense booth. Above you can see a suite of pouches designed for use by Medics assigned to Army SOF and below is the AN/PVS-14 pouch. Next week, we’ll show you the Evolution Bag featuring Zip Off Technology.
FirstSpear developed the 6/9 BeltLink to adapt 6/9 pouches and accessories to the Assaulters Gun Belt.
Offered in packs of two, its a webbing tab with a stay and Velcro to keep in place. Elegant in its simplicity. It’s so new, it isn’t on the website so call and harass them to order.
High Speed Gear’s Costa Padded Leg Panel utilizes 6 columns of MOLLE/PALS webbing, constructed of 1000 Denier Cordura nylon. The Padded Drop Leg Panel combines features of the original Costa Leg Rig and the Mini Modular Leg Panel. It’s designed to accept a variety of magazines, medical, administrative, and sub-load attachments when paired with TACO pouches.
The HSGI Drop Leg Panel features an open-air mesh padded backing to provide breathability, limited-slip single leg strap, and dual waist attachment points. These attachment points are also adjustable on their position upon the panel.
The HSGI Costa Padded Leg Panel is covered by a lifetime warranty. Made in the USA.
Raine Inc has introduced a combination Single Mag Pouch and Dump Pouch which places the dump pouch right below your initial reload magazine. They didn’t skimp on the construction either. The mag pouch is manufactured from printed webbing with elastic sides for retention and the Dump Pouch portion is 500D Cordura. Naturally, it’s Berry compliant.
When Polaris needed a modular load carrying solution for the MRZR they turned to ATS Tactical who created this rig. As you can see, these PALS-based panels allow the crew to configure their gear how they need it on the vehicle without fear of it going flying as they tool around the battlefield.
Tactical Tailor just informed us that they have been awarded a contract by the United States Marine Corps to provide four pouches for Marine use.
Today Tactical Tailor was advised they were selected to provide modular load-bearing pouches for the AN/PVS-14, AN/PRC-153 IISR and PRC 152. They will also be providing 40mm grenade bandoliers. Additionally, Tactical Tailor collaborated closely with partner Grey Ghost Gear to obtain the contract.
The NVG pouch, technically the AN/PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular and Rhino Mount pouch, was designed by Grey Ghost Gear in conjunction with USSOCOM personnel who were actually on the ground in Afghanistan at the time.
The 40mm bandoliers are one of the most widely-recognized pieces of gear Tactical Tailor manufactures and has been provided to numerous units at the local level. Now, it will be “standard issue” to all Marine grenadiers.
Tactical Tailor CEO Casey Ingels was preparing to fly to the Middle East to consult with representatives of USSOCOM at the time of this release. However, Lindsey Lea, Grey Ghost Gear Director of Business Development and High Despotrix, was happy to discuss the contract.
“This was the first really big collaboration between Tactical Tailor and Grey Ghost Gear,” Ms. Lea advised. “We’re especially excited because this was a specific request. They didn’t come to us and ask us to build something they’d already developed specs for. They contracted us to provide those pieces of gear because it has all been tested hard in the field. This is obviously great news. From a business perspective it’s obviously a great contract to win. From a personal perspective it’s very rewarding to know we’ve had a hand in putting the most rugged, purpose-built gear available into those Marines’ hands.”

Ares Gear has announced the Aegis Enhanced, the first offering in the Aegis family of belts.
With a 4oz stainless steel buckle, and the same proprietary scuba webbing that you’ve all grown to know and love, the Aegis Enhanced is easier to thread (only one tail!), lower-profile both visually and physically, and has only one moving part in the buckle. The buckle is a very beefy version of the roll pin buckle used on military dress belts and unlike anything else out there.
Now, here’s the catch; the Aegis belts on their website are a VERY limited run (the last of the machined buckles). Production buckles will be MIM (Metal Injection Molded), so the ones available for purchase now are the same type used by weartesters.
Once these are gone, Ares doesn’t anticipate having more Aegis belts for sale until 2014 (unless they make that MIM mold REALLY fast), so get one early.
