Hill People Gear – Winter 2011 Product Focus Video

Friday, December 30th, 2011

Not a word is spoken in this video showcasing Hill People Gear’s growing product range but words aren’t needed to send the message that they have developed a living system. I have many of their products and I’ll tell you, I’m a believer. Their range is great for the outdoorsman or adventurer who wants to keep it light and simple. There’s something refreshing about spending time that way in the wild and Hill People Gear has certainly captured that spirit.

Off the Grid Concepts – Custom Kydex

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

Off the Grid Concepts, another fine purveyor of custom kydex mag pouches and holsters, has a new “dual mounting option” mag pouch that carries one rifle magazine and one pistol magazine. Check them out on Facebook or at their website to see some of their kit or see what they come up with when they come up with it. One of their mottos is, “If you own it we can holster it.” Their website says they make apparel and outdoor gear, but apparently it’s not up yet.

ATS Tactical Suspenders in Jacquard Webbing

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

This is the first sample from ATS Tactical of their suspenders manufactured with Murdock Webbing‘s excellent Jacquard weave webbing in MultiCam. Unlike traditional printed webbing, the pattern is woven into the webbing so it won’t fade. Additionally, buckles give a little more bite into the pattern’s weave. The webbing blends in almost seamlessly with MutiCam fabric as you can see in this photo.

The suspenders themselves are a low profile affair, adjustable for length, designed to fit comfortably under armor and work in conjunction with the ATS War Belt.

Although this is the first product ATS has done in this material they tell us that more is on the way.

Sunday, December 18th, 2011

More traditional belt and suspender load carrying options are once again becoming popular. High Speed Gear’s new Modular Padded Shoulder Harness utilizes 6.5mm Neoprene foam which features a gel like feel for comfort that does not slip on the shoulders.

The designs allows you to use either 1″ or 1.5″ webbing to attach to belts or chest rigs. The Drag Handle uses a Vinyl Tube cover to reduce the strap from cutting into the hand. The rear features 5 continuous rows of MOLLE/PALS with the top 3 rows integrate Velcro loop.
