Bawidamann PALS Universal Platform Back in Stock

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

It’s been almost two years since we first wrote about Bawidamann’s revolutionary PALS Universal Platform (PUP) which is an add-on for knife sheaths and other items that you want to attach to PALS webbing. At first these were all hand cut from Kydex which meant they were often out of stock due to the popularity of the design. But, they realized that they could do it faster, better and ultimately cheaper through injection molding.

Available in both standard and mini sizes, PUP is a versatile design that allows you to assemble your sheaths and pouches to the PUP at virtually any angle and consequently to your gear, the way you want. Additionally, they’ve introduced blank models that allow you to cut your own mounting holes. These are a TacHacker’s dream!

All models of the PUP are manufactured in Ohio, USA.

FirstSpear Six-Pack

Friday, May 4th, 2012

First-Spear has a new modular LBE pouch they call the First Spear ‘Six-Pack’. It’s designed to carry six (6) forty mike-mike rounds in two tiers of three (3) rounds each, one above the other. The Six-Pack, designed to occupy a minimal amount of real estate on your load out, buckles closed and drops open to access all six 40mm. Watch for it on the First-Spear website.

DR wrote this article but I have to tell you that I handled a prototype about two months ago and when I saw it I was like, “genius.” As you can see, it pops open and there they are, two trays of rounds. It was originally designed for users of the Mk14 Milkor USA grenade launcher, because they have to get at so many rounds at one time, but it looks great for any grenadier.

Helium WhisperADS Tactical

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

In case you’ve been living under a rock (or reading some other, less informative website) for the last year, I’ll tell you about Blue Force Gear’s Helium Whisper. It’s a combination of a single piece back panel and an ultra-light, extremely durable high performance laminate. Not only is the actual material lighter (and stronger) than current issue kit, but combined with the single piece construction there is less fabric, drastically reducing the weight of your gear. In fact, Helium Whisper weighs in at almost half that of traditional MOLLE. Additionally, Helium Whisper attachment straps are built into the pouch rather than sewn on, eliminating the possibility of stitching failure. Not only that, but they’ve also eliminated those pesky snaps that seem to pull through at the worst possible moment.

The entire line of Blue Force Gear products, including the revolutionary Helium Whisper are available for unit and agency order through www.ADSinc.com.
