Rudder RAC from Tactical Tailor
Monday, April 22nd, 2013Tactical Tailor in partnership with one of their SOF clients has developed the Rudder RAC (Ranger Assault Carrier). The Rudder RAC is named in honor of James Earl Rudder took who part in the D-Day landings as commanding officer of the 2nd Ranger Battalion 2nd Ranger Battalion stormed the beach at Pointe Du Hoc scaling a 100 ft cliff under enemy fire to reach and destroy German gun batteries. The Battalion’s casualty rate for this mission was greater than 50%. Rudder was wounded twice during the fight. Despite this, James Earl Rudder and the 2nd Ranger Battalion fought off German counter-attacks for two days until relieved. James Earl Rudder was inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame during it’s inaugural year in 1992.
The Rudder RAC is designed to work around the TT Low Vis Plate Carrier and was designed to allow a precision marksman to have the lowest profile possible when laying prone or working in tight quarters. The client specifically requested something that would allow them to drop equipment to climb through windows or other tight fits and still maintain ballistic protection.
The Rudder RAC is an H-Harness type design with a split front opening that can be secured via removable buckles, a hook and loop flap or the hook and loop flap can be secured directly to the Tactical Tailor Low Vis plate carrier. There are two internal pockets behind the front flaps sized for maps, 9-line or grid reference guides. The interior of the Tactical Tailor Rudder RAC is lined with air mesh for operator comfort under load.
The Low Vis plate carrier can be made to accommodate a variety of plates and has removable side plate pockets.

Introducing The HSP Disruptive Environments Chest Rig
Friday, April 19th, 2013Haley Strategic Partners has been working to perfect their chest rig for some time now and over time I’ve seen a couple of variants as they’ve dialed in the design. It’s intended for low profile work, yet adapts to many applications. In addition to working well for wear under clothing it can also be directly attached to armor systems that incorporate Velocity Systems’ SwiftClips.
The Chest Rig features:
– 4 bungie retained magazine pouches for M4, M16, and AK
– 2 Multi-Mission Pouches which fit standard double and single stack pistol magazines as well as other equipment including flashlights and multi-tools
– 2 flapped GP pouches for strobes, tools and other equipment
– 1 STUFFIT™ pouch, an expandable design meant to hold smoke grenades and electronics or compress down to near flat
Offered in Black, Coyote and MultiCam as well as Kryptek Highlander, Mandrake and Typhon.
FirstSpear – Tactical Patrolling Harness
Thursday, April 18th, 2013The FirstSpear Tactical Patrolling Harness features FirstSpear technology as well as a Tubes front opening.
The design is reminiscent of other MOLLE-style patrolling harnesses with integrated belts, a design that is an extraction of Israeli Ephod-style harnesses that were later adapted to a maritime role in the late 80s here in the US. Overtime they have transitioned from fixed pouches, to ALICE compatibility and finally to PALS. This harness is the next step. It’s made from entirely new materials and not only accepts FirstSpear’s 6/12 family of pouches but also their 6/9 as well as any MOLLE compatible pouch meaning it is a great way to upgrade your harness without having to purchase an entirely new suite of pouches. Additionally, the front opening relies on the Tubes buckle which is easily manipulated with one hand.
The Tactical Patrolling Harness incorporates padded shoulder straps, a drag handle and metal adjustment buckles at the rear. Available in Small/Medium and Large/Extra Large in Black, Coyote, MultiCam and Ranger Green.
