Apparently, ’tis the season to upgrade websites. Fortunately, all of the ones we have seen are very well done and the new site from Excalibur Products is no exception. We have mentioned their packs in the past and they also offer a couple of sleep system options but according to the main graphic on the new site, they have quite a bit on their plate and we are looking forward to seeing some more of their products.

Awhile back one of our readers sent us a cryptic message telling us to keep an eye on a website. They had put up a simple splash page but there were no details. Last weekend, we were told the page had changed.
We emailed the reader who had given us the heads up and asked him what the deal was. He said he didn’t know so we razzed him for sending us a snipe hunt. Then, this morning we refreshed our browser and lo and behold, something very new appeared.
According to the website, the man at helm of Tyr Tactical is Jason Beck who previously ran Diamondback Tactical. We can’t wait to find out more about this. For example, what is this PV material?
One of our eagle eyed readers spotted the Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger on the back of the character “Arthur” played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the zero-gravity hotel scene of “INCEPTION” the #1 movie in America.
If you spot a piece of kit in a movie, send us an email.

We constantly attract new readers at SSD so every once in awhile we go back into the archives and resurrect an old post. The Mystery Cinch is more poignant than ever and once you look at this video you will hit yourself in the forehead with your palm and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” In fact, simplicity might be its elegance but it has garnered Mystery Ranch with a patent.
Designed to work with any pack, the Mystery Cinch routes the straps close to the center of of the chest and prevents the straps from creeping up under the arm. Additionally, pack straps don’t adjust tight like they would during normal wear so when released from the Mystery Cinch they fall right off the arm. Its single motion, quick-release design sheds the pack smoothly. Because the Mystery Cinch uses the armor’s PALS grid it offers the flexibility to accommodate a variety of armor vests, pouch configurations, and pack straps.

Military Morons did an excellent review of the belt last year so if you are interested check it out. In fact, the entire Jones Tactical line is worth your investigation.
