LENGGRIES, GERMANY (15 NOV 2022)—Lindnerhof-Taktik GmbH will tomorrow round out a remarkable year of product introductions with the launch of several innovative adapters and harnesses designed to make the brand’s earlier gear additions more versatile and combinable.
The new products are:
• Waist Belt MX129
• Waist Belt Adapter 3-Rows MX345
• Waist Belt Adapter Quick Release 3-Rows MX346
• Hook Buckle Adapter MX498
• Plate Rig Harness Set MX731
• Chest Rig Harness MX732
• Chest Rig Adapter Kit LT266
“We believe that users of our 2022 product lineup will love these additional accessories because of the way they permit fast and easy transformation of bedrock Lindnerhof setups into entirely new load-outs offering increased utility and functionality,” said Chief Executive Officer Jakob Kolbeck.
Kolbeck offered as an example the brand’s beloved classic Plate Carrier LT025/5. “With these new adapters and harnesses, we’ve opened the door to turning the LT205/5 into a plate carrier suitable for more types of missions, for more of the increasingly challenging kinds of missions operators are today being sent out on,” he said. “Now, with ease, the good old LT205/5 gains a super-lightweight skeletonised waist belt that’s closable using our patented, cutting-edge hook- buckle system. All you need for this is our new Waist Belt Adapter 3-Rows MX345, Waist Belt MX129, and Hook Buckle Adapter MX498.”
Kolbeck described how those items are utilised. “Loop the MX345 in a crisscross manner on each end of the waist belt, then affix the waist belt to the back part of the LT025/5 carrier, just as you are accustomed to doing,” he said. “To close your new waist belt, fix the MX498 Adapters via the supplied Velcro® fasteners on the front part and close the hook buckle. That’s all there is to it.”
Each adapter is sold separately; however, there is also a special adapter available—Waist Belt Adapter Quick Release 3-Rows MX346—for use with the “Schutzweste Infantrie” protective vest from Mehler Vario System GmbH. Like the MX345, the MX346 skeletonises the waist belt.
“What we’ve attempted to do here is offer our users as much modularity as possible,” said Kolbeck. “Because we here at Lindnerhof are former end-users of tactical gear, our thinking about the development of products is guided by what we understand to be the needs of current end-users. However, that understanding does not come solely from our own past experiences but much more from feedback we solicit and receive from current end-users. We do not forget where we came from, but neither do we lose sight of where the current users are going—and that is on increasingly demanding missions.”
Beyond the new options for updating waist-belt systems into modern quick-release versions, Lindnerhof also is including in its product range several new harnesses.
Said Kolbeck: “If you already are using our Split Front Chest Rig MX266, you’ll know already the new Chest Rig Harness MX732, which is a classically designed, softly padded chest rig harness with extra MOLLE/PALS slots and loops to let you carry additional equipment, such as cable guides, hydration tube guides, and more.
“In combination with our newly released Chest Rig Adapter Kit LT266, you’ll be able to create and set up an individualised Lindnerhof Micro Rig. Also, this past April, we announced the availability of our new MX Panels—they have special loops that serve as attachment points for the Adapter Kit LT266 which, in turn, attaches to the new MX732 harness.”
Of the MX732-related Plate Rig Harness MX731, Kolbeck said: “It completes our new product launch and is an essential accessory if you’re a sniper or just need to carry a heavyweight backpack, sit in a vehicle while attired in body armour, or plan to tote our Backpack HL334. The MX731 is intended for use specifically with our Ultralight Plate Carrier MX244, when you don’t need a ballistic plate in the back, the MX731 can take the place of the back part and transform the carrier into a sort of plate rig that gives you an ultra-low profile with no loss of comfort and release options.”
Kolbeck indicated that the MX731 also includes a skeletonised waist belt that precisely fits into the patented hook-buckle system at the front of Ultralight Plate Carrier MX244.
“We are very confident that these final additions to our 2022 product range are not an end- point but are in fact just the beginning of a strong, uninterrupted stream of creative ideas and options to give users of Lindnerhof gear still greater freedom to set up and load out exactly the way they need in order to meet the unique demands of each mission, so please stay tuned.”

I met SLNT at SOFIC where they were exhibiting in the new products pavilion.
SLNT manufactures bags with a particular emphasis on Faraday bags of various sizes. A Faraday bag works as a portable Faraday cage, blocking electronic emissions both into and out of your device including Cellular, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, EMR, EMP, and EMF.
Of both personal and professional interest are the Faraday Sleeves which are sized to accommodate key fobs, phones/End User Devices, tablets, and laptops. There are even versions that not only block emissions, but also integrate PacSafe anti-theft technology to prevent a would-be thief from cutting open the bag.
In addition to their website, SLNT products are available via GSA Advantage.
Tracer Tactical has introduced the Appendix Holster Mounting Panel based on a concept from idea came to them from Eric Foss of Howitzer Clothing.
It consists of a Tegris panel with Squadron material that is hook Velcro backed for mounting inside a pack or concealed carry bag.
It accommodates an appendix holster which provides protection and keeps the firearm stored in a safe, easy to draw manner. Holes on the edges allow for shock-cording to backpack organization panels, etc.
Ideal for those who carry concealed and want an option to remove the entire appendix holster and store in a bag when desired.
These will be made to order until they can build up some inventory.
POOLER, GA—Blue Force Gear is proud to announce the release of two new duty belts: the all-new GRID™ Belt and the updated CHLK™ Belt.
Both the GRID and CHLK belts use MOLLEminus™ technology to create one of the slimmest and lightest MOLLE belts available. Blue Force Gear belts are optimal for OWB holsters, mag and utility pouches, trauma kits, and other MOLLE gear.
Blue Force Gear belts use a two-belt system featuring separate inner and outer belts. The inner belts are worn threaded through pant belt loops and can be used as standalone EDC belts. The durable outer belt, made from ULTRAcomp® and a rigid composite, attaches securely to the inner belt using a hook-and-loop interface.
Engineered for Comfort
Blue Force Gear duty belts are engineered for maximum comfort—and that’s not empty marketing hype. Inspired by the changes leather belts undergo after they have been broken in from everyday use, Blue Force Gear belts feature a 32-degree curve designed to mimic the contour of the human waist. The belts also feature a subtle outward cant from top to bottom, resulting in a more comfortable fit at both the waist and the hips. This makes them far better suited for long-term wear than typical flat-profile battle belts.
All-New GRID™ Belt
The GRID Belt is an excellent duty belt for most military, police, and law enforcement personnel. It is also an ideal choice for sports shooters, prepared citizens, or anyone looking for a battle belt who doesn’t need a belt with load-rated capabilities.
The GRID Belt incorporates all the load-carriage and design features from the popular Blue Force Gear CHLK Belt minus the specific load-rated capabilities required by helicopter assaulters. The GRID Belt comes with a patent-pending one-piece glass-filled nylon buckle that is significantly more durable than plastic SR buckles. Optional COBRA® Buckle Upgrade Kits are available and can be purchased separately.
The Updated CHLK™ Belt
Short for “Combat Helo Load-rated Kit,” the CHLK Belt revolutionizes modern battle belt design. Crafted around the needs of helicopter assaulters, it features the hardened points required to tether to the anchor points on a helicopter.
The CHLK Belt has an ANSI spec load-rated buckle, and the updated version uses a reinforced proprietary Dyneema®-nylon hybrid webbing. The new version also sports a removable molded glove hanger, and the closure of the inner belt now uses a G-hook for improved fit and a more secure connection.
The GRID and CHLK belts are available in MultiCam®, Black, Ranger Green, and Coyote Brown. The GRID Belt is available for purchase now on the Blue Force Gear website. The updated CHLK Belt is available for pre-order and will begin shipping on December 12th. Learn more at BlueForceGear.com/battle-belts
