One of the things we really like about Off The Grid Concepts is that they don’t shy away from a challenge. Last week we saw that they built a holster for a Smith & Wesson Model 327 TRR8 with integrated sight and frame rails.

We’ve been drooling over the JAVRAN website for a few weeks now and after talking it over, we couldn’t pick out just one thing to mention. They are a nylon company that was founded on the owner’s quest for the perfect camera bag. But now, they’re about more than just camera bags. They offer a wide variety of products and custom color options.
So just head on over and poke around a little. We think you’ll like what you see.
‘Every Other Chest Rig On The Planet Is Now Too Heavy’ – That’s a pretty bold statement made recently by gear manufacturer High Ground as they introduced The Chest Rig. Even the name implies that there can be no other.
The rig is reversible – MultiCam to Coyote and features integrated ITW buckles to allow instant transition from H-Harness Shoulder Straps to Plate Carrier integration. As you can see it’s PALS compatible and relies as much on the pouches for structural support as they do upon The Chest Rig. It’s as bare bones as it gets.
Yes, some of us have seen a similar product in the past from Crye Precision where users obtained extra AirLite cummerbund panels for the Jumpable Plate Carrier and attached them to the front in order to rapidly reconfigure loads. It wasn’t by design as much by user adaption and its difficult to obtain a JPC let alone an AirLite cummerbund. The major difference here is that this was designed to work this way from the outset and includes a chest rig H harness with articulated shoulder straps seen here. I’m sure it’s going to be popular but I’m just as sure that there will be detractors based on its similarity to the Crye design.

215 Gear just launched their new Concealed Carry Belt. It’s similar to their Ultimate Riggers Belt, but without the safety features for “down range” use. The 1.5” wide belt is made with resin impregnated webbing, for increased stiffness. They top it off with a custom version of the 1.5” Cobra buckle, to assist in size adjustment. The entire inside is covered in Velcro pile to lock your holsters and pouches in place.
Medium fits 30”-35” waist.
Large fits 35″-40” waist.
X-Large fits 40″-45” waist.
Made in USA!

Grey Ghost Gear has updated the look of their website. I like the new look and it seems easier to navigate. They’ve also included an online digital catalog.
PECI Flotation LLC has introduced new armor compatible form factors of their highly popular Tactical Floatation Support System. Available with Overt (yellow) or Covert (black) bladders, TFSS provides 45 pounds of positive floatation in seawater at 33 feet, 57 pounds at 15 feet and 80 pounds on the surface. Additionally, TFSS has a safety confirmation for both staticline and MFF parachute operations from the US Army Developmental Test Command.
TFSS has been integrated into several armor designs including those by FirstSpear. In fact, FirstSpear is an early adopter. They immediately saw the lifesaving potential and went right to work on adapting their systems to accommodate TFSS. TFSS is not only a great way to provide emergency buoyancy it’s also low weight and volume compared to alternatives. FirstSpear’s integration is seamless and you won’t even know it’s there.
As you can see, Renegade Armor is offering TFSS as a stand alone system or integrated into any one of a variety of armor carriers.
