Bulldog Launches New Line of Comms Pouches

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

While Bulldog Equipment’s latest lineup of pouches is well suited for both communicators as well anyone who carries radios, it was designed specifically for use by Joint Terminal Attack Controllers. Designed to protect many communications devices and keep them close at hand on packs and fighting kit, there are also pouches for specialized equipment such as the izlid as well as options for both the AN/PRC-117F and 117G. Additionally, their AN/PRC-152 pouch allows the user to access the control panel without removing the radio from the pouch. Developed with feedback from the JTAC community, this unique pouch suite is a welcome addition to the tactical toolkit.

The entire Bulldog line is Berry Compliant and available in a variety of colors and patterns including their popular Mirage camo. For more info or to order, visit www.bulldogequipment.us.

Spanish Airborne Brigade Adopts Eberlestock Pack

Monday, October 25th, 2010

The Spanish Army adopted the Eberlestock Phantom for their Airborne Brigade and so can you. For a slight upcharge you can purchase the Phantom in the new Spanish Desert pattern.

This mid-sized pack features removable shoulder straps and bag from the patented Backscabbardâ„¢, which can then be combined with the top-cover to make a drag bag. The Phantom is a front-loader, with two rings of various-sized tuck-pockets lining its interior, MOLLE racks inside and out, and a fold-down shelf that can be used to divide the main compartment into upper and lower chambers. It will carry two 3-liter hydration kits, mounted in side pockets, and/or two 2-liter bladders in sleeves between the side pockets and the main pack. Includes the pack and scabbard combination, removable butt-cover, and pull-out G1RC rain cover.

Maxpedition Hits the Big Box

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

One of our readers gave us a heads up on this one. Maxpedition products are available on the Walmart website. This is the first time we have seen a brand founded in the tactical arena make it over into mainstream sales but it probably couldn’t have happened with most of the nylon gear in our industry as the cost of Berry compliance is too high for the major discount chains. Walmart.com lists 65 Maxpedition products but we haven’t run across any of them in stores yet.

MICO Machine Gunner’s Assault Pack Now for Sale

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

TYR Tactical (pronounced tear) released the MICO ‘Quiver of Death’ Machine Gunner Assault Pack. When we initially wrote about it, we told you it was a very specialized piece of kit. Now that it is actually available the price tag reflects that. Don’t get me wrong, it is very well built and uses the best components.

This isn’t something that you are going to see out on the MilSim skirmish field, but rather it is designed for a narrow task set. That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t be surprised to see knockoffs of the MICO before Christmas. However, if you are in the business of using an M240 or M249 in the Direct Action role, then you should take a look at the MICO.

ATS Small Medical Pouch Issued NSN

Friday, October 8th, 2010

The MultiCam version of the Small Medical Pouch from ATS Tactical has been issued National Stock Number 6545-01-587-2073. This is very significant because a military organization had to adopt the pouch and to order it in enough quantities to justify issuing an NSN.

It is a classic zipper closed “clam-shell” design with a large Red tear-away handle. The interior features elastic to keep medical supplies organized when the pouch is opened. The pouch also has an interior slot pocket for smaller items. The back of the pouch is covered in hook so it can be attached and quickly removed from the platform which features a large swath of pile. Additionally, ATS has developed a straight forward solution to the PALS interoperability with their patented L-Straps which are simple and hold the pouch fast.

In addition to the platform that comes with the pouch, ATS has just released a Special Forces Back Panel, that accommodates the pouch. Look for more info here shortly.

ATS reports that NSNs are forthcoming for both the UCP and Coyote variants. It is also available commercially in Black and Ranger Green. The Small Medical Pouch is available for sale from Grey Group Training and Supply Captain. ATS products are berry compliant and come with a lifetime guarantee.
