Tactical Tailor MALICE Clip Belt Adapter

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

Created at the end of the 90s as an alternative to the patented PALS attachment system, Tactical Tailor’s MALICE Clip became a readily available cottage industry standard. Companies large and small have been using MALICE Clips on their pouches which can be used with both MOLLE as well as old ALICE standard platforms. Unfortunately, results vary when you want to place that MALICE Clip equipped pouch to you belt.

Tactical Tailor developed the MALICE Clip Belt Adapter to correct this issue as so many are now mounting load bearing pouches to gun or first-line belts.

It’s a simple design that incorporates no-skid material in order to keep the pouch in place. If you are using MALICE Clip mounted pouches on your belt definitely take a look at this. It won’t break the bank.

The Tactical Tailor MALICE Clip Belt Adapter is available from a variety of retailers including SKD Tactical.

Tactical Tailor Licenses Blue Force Gear’s Helium Whisper

Monday, December 17th, 2012

Blue Force Gear has just announced they have licensed their Helium Whisper technology to Tactical Tailor. Helium Whisper technology is a single piece modular backer made of a high performance laminate called ULTRAcomp that can be integrated into virtually any load carrying pouch during manufacturing.

“Providing exactly what the customer requires is our goal, incorporating this technology into our product allows us to do it very easily, that’s exciting,” said GW Ayers, Tactical Tailor’s Director of Sales. “Helium Whisper will support our efforts to fulfill an immediate SOF LCS Contract requirement.”

Tactical Tailor is the second company to license this lightweight technology after Velocity Systems announced in July it had licensed Helium Whisper which resulted in significant weight and manufacturing savings.

“We are excited to have engineered a system that other respected load carriage companies are choosing to utilize,” said Ashley Burnsed, Blue Force Gear’s CEO. “At the end of the day, we are all working towards the same goal – to improve the soldier’s safety and survivability.”

Blue Force Gear provides the backers directly to the licensee and they develop the best way to integrate them into their pouch designs. They can reduce weight up to 60% over traditional MOLLE attachment systems.

UPDATE – Tactical Tailor MALICE clip fans fear not. They aren’t going to stop using them or manufacturing them.
