Gear Pockets
Monday, January 9th, 2012If you’re the average SSD reader then you own quite a bot of kit and/or you deploy to various locations regularly where you live out of your bags.
Gear Pockets are great organizers. They’re kind of like an oversized shaving kit that provides numerous mesh pockets to organize your gear. It can be hung up like a shaving kit along a wall or the side of a vehicle or even between two trees if need be and then rolled up or folded in half for movement. All-in-all it’s a pretty cool idea, whether at home storing your gear or while deployed and using it every day.
Gear Pockets are available in three different styles; The Original, The Sportsman and The Organizer with different pocket configurations.
BDS Tactical Squad Leader Admin Pouch
Sunday, January 8th, 2012
Realizing that the basic admin pouch concept seemed a little tired industry-wide, BDS Tactical sought input from their Marine customers at nearby Camp Pendleton. The result is their Squad Leader Admin Pouch (SLAP) which integrates additional GP capability/space. The rear inside panel includes 6 ink stick slots, and a 6†x 6†pocket with a “D†ring for dummy cording. The front inside panel offers two pockets which are a great fit for GPS and compass storage. BDS Tactical products are available in a wide variety of colors including Tactical Coyote, UCP, ABU, Olive Drab, Black, Ranger Green, Foliage Green, & Multicam. Additionally, they are offering 15% off MSRP site-wide.
Make sure you see their entire line at SHOT Show in booth #20427.
