SHOT Show 23 – Crye Precision
Tuesday, January 17th, 2023The items showcased in the Crye Precision booth are “coming soon” which means we should see then during this calendar year.
ATO High Loft Parka & Pants
The ATO ALPINE TERRAIN OPERATIONS High Loft Parka is a static insulation layer for cold weather environments. The Climashield Apex insulation is thermally mapped with three different weights that deliver optimized warmth while minimizing overheating. The unique reversible design provides both alpine and woodland concealment as needed. It is constructed with a durable nylon outer fabric that is wind resistant and packable. The ATO High Loft Parka features an expandable front zipper that allows the flexibility to layer up or down and even provides coverage for fully loaded plate carriers and vests. Hand pockets are lined in fleece for warmth and interior mesh pockets accommodate cold weather gear like goggles.
ATO HD Overwhites
The ATO Overwhites provide alpine concealment in a robust combat feature design. Built from a durable ripstop nylon shell, it utilizes water resistant reinforcement in areas of high wear like the shoulders, seat, and lower arms. You’ll see some M1951 Fishtail Parka DNA in there. Shoulder and cargo pockets stow essential cold weather items and pit zipper pass-throughs.
G4 Aviation Uniform
Developed in conjunction with a SOF aviation element, the G4 Aviation Uniform is offered in both male and female fit. It utilizes the same fabric as G4, the FR Commando Twill. There are also both Field and Combat models.
You’ll find some aviation unique features like dual entry shoulder pockets, center front zipper and loop placement to accommodate ID. The pants also have double seats, oversized patch pocket on calf, vertical zippered entry on thigh pockets, and a multi-tool pocket.
Offered in MultiCam m, Black, and Ranger Green.
LVS Female Fit
Crye’s proprietary 3 dimensional forming technology allows them to shape the vest to directly match the contours of the human body. Now they’ve applied it to the female form. Because it is molded, the armor will not crumple and fold up in the bottom of the carrier. Infact, the LVS Base Vest requires no external carrier at all.
FB/40mm Pouch
The FB/40MM POUCH is designed to accommodate flashbang and 40mm grenades. It is constructed from laser-cut AIRLITE and features a welded attachment strap with a unique tab geometry. Heavy-duty elastic provides a secure fit while the flap is tucked into the pouch. The dual security closure allows for extra security of your flashbang. Available in single, double and triple pouch.
SMOC
Coming this year! Purpose built for multi-day recce missions, the SMOC (Special Missions Operations Coat) is designed to provide combat-specific weather protection and allow storage of critical gear. Constructed from a durable water repellent ripstop nylon shell and fully lined to provide warmth and wind protection, while the mesh venting at the chest pockets and underarm help to avoid overheating during movement. Designed with thumb loop cuffs, an elastic crotch strap and a shock cord cinchable waist to ensure proper fit and security.

Now Shipping: Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig and Low-Pro GP Pouch
Tuesday, January 17th, 2023
POOLER, GA—Blue Force Gear announced today at SHOT Show in Las Vegas that its much-anticipated split-front chest rig will start shipping immediately.
The Ten-Speed® SF Chest Rig from Blue Force Gear was developed with recce operations in mind, where the need to lay prone for extended periods can be complicated by gear mounted to the front of body armor. Designed to be worn over armor or by itself, the SF Chest Rig zips top-to-bottom and can be spread open to move any chest-rig-mounted kit to the sides for a more comfortable prone position.
The front of the chest rig features four stackable mag pouches and comes in M4 and SR25 versions. The military-grade elastic allows metal or polymer mags to fit securely and lay flat when not in use, and the pouches are overlayed with ULTRAcomp® high-performance coated fabric for extra strength. Each of the SF Chest Rig’s four Ten-Speed mag pouches has single-column, 6-row MOLLEminus™ fields and two additional columns of 5-row MOLLEminus fields on each side. This makes it easy to add the BFG Low Pro GP Pouch (designed specifically for this chest rig) or other MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories.
The SF Chest Rig has padded shoulder straps with integrated management for comms cables and hydration tubes. MOLLEminus fields make it possible to attach additional accessories, and side-release buckles make it easy to completely detach the front of the chest rig for integration with some third-party plate carriers and hydration harnesses.
The Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig is available now in limited quantities at BlueForceGear.com.
Low Pro GP Pouch
The Low Pro GP Pouch was designed to fit the new Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig. This general-purpose pouch features a slight outward taper from top to bottom, making it easier to access its contents when mounted on the chest. The pouch has two-way zippered pockets, and the larger pocket contains Ten-Speed elastic to help organize the pouch’s contents. When empty, the pouches have a low, flat profile.
The Low Pro GP Pouch is available now at BlueForceGear.com.
