The Recce Skin Kit from Onward Research is pretty ingenious.
This kit offers the ability to apply non-permanent alpine camouflage to your existing Recce Rig pouches. Additionally, it makes the rig more reliable in cold weather conditions.
The kit comes with:
In 2023 Lindnerhof Taktik introduced the Beast, a packboard system for extremely heavy and unwieldy loads like breaching tools. In German, they refer to the capability as the “Ausrüstungsträger” or equipment carrier.
The frame and attachment system has proven to be quite adaptive and has been adopted by multiple units around the works due to its versatility.
At Milipol, Lindnerhof introduced a series of packs for the Beast.
These modular packs are 30L and 50L respectively but can be fitted out up to 110L when adding side pockets. Naturally, more bags and accessory pockets are in the works.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON, D.C. — October 31, 2025 — Assault Plate LLC has officially launched with a first-of-its-kind innovation for military and law-enforcement operators: the Assault Plate™, a carbon-fiber load-bearing system that eliminates shoulder straps and integrates seamlessly with any plate carrier.
Engineered and manufactured entirely in the United States, the Assault Plate™ allows operators to carry up to 30 pounds of mission-essential gear without shoulder straps, freeing the shoulders for weapon control and reducing fatigue during long operations. The carbon-fiber frame slides between the body armor and pack, clearing the shoulders while maintaining easy access to the mission essential gear on the back.
‘This isn’t an accessory – it’s an evolution,’ said an operator who wished to remain anonymous. ‘It solves a real problem users face every day; how to carry the load without sacrificing access.’
The Assault Plate™ system is Berry-compliant, constructed from US made carbon fiber, and compatible with almost every backpack and plate carrier on the market. It can integrate with existing straps on the pack or attach using included universal straps.
Designed for special operations, SWAT, and tactical professionals, Assault Plate™ represents the next generation of American-made tactical equipment.
Patent pending.
If you’re looking for a low-profile ammo best for wear under a suit, the Heat Rig is for you. Styled after the load carriage vest worn in the hit movie “Heat” the KommandoStore holds eight 5.56 magazines in elastic loops for quick access.
L/XL has been out of stock for white awhile but now it’s available for pre-order, with S/M size available for immediate shipping.
Plus, it’s on sale for the next few days.

Light, tough, and brutally simple — the LaserFrame Pistol Double Magazine Pocket carries two double-stack pistol mags (most 9mm through .45 ACP) without getting in your way.
The low-profile flap with Hook/Loop locks magazines in place but rips open fast when you need a reload. Built with FirstSpear’s patented LaserFrame hemless construction, it shaves ounces while keeping the strength where it counts — no extra bulk, no weak spots.
Mount it on old-school PALS/MOLLE or snap it into the modern 6/12 Laser Fusion rigs with the rock-solid 6/9 attachment system that won’t sag or shift under stress. The pocket’s internal shape stabilizes rounds for consistent presentation so your hand finds them every time.
It sheds dirt and debris, keeps the loadout tight, and maintains a slick silhouette under armor or on a belt. Made in the USA and built for repeated hard use, it’s the kind of pocket you don’t think about until it fails — and it doesn’t.
Use it as a standalone pistol mag solution for discreet carry or lock it into a full LaserFrame kit for a surgical-grade setup. Minimal weight, maximum reliability — exactly what a frontline operator asks for.

Add this to the list of cool stuff I saw at DSEI.
LODEout is Zulu Origin’s magnet based attachment system and I got a chance to check it out in the Edgar Brothers stand during the recent DSEI in London.
Zulu Origin is itself an interesting story. Several Veterans of various British military units got together after some time in university and industry to start a company solving problems facing the individual Soldier. Those same solutions, like LODEout, can be applied to a variety of applications.
The LODEOut system uses two components:
Receivers (above) and Modules (below)
The Receivers are designed to be used in conjunction with existing legacy systems like MOLLE or a Velcro grid and facilitate the rapid donning and doffing of the Modules.
Modules are purpose built pouches or panels, backed with rare earth magnets which plug into sockets on the Receiver. The magenta are backed up by the Rabbit Teeth Retention which “bite” into the top of the Receiver so the Module won’t come loose during operations.
I think of the Rabbit Teeth Retention like the teeth on the killer rabbit from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” that won’t let go once they get ahold of you. Except, these will let go as long as you pull the magnets free of their sockets and then pull the panel up. RTR are optional use in case the Module is one you want to be able to quickly detach. Use RTR for long movements or airborne and maritime operations.
As you can see in the top photo, Zulu Origin has already created a wide variety of Modules including Strip Charge Platforms, Rapid Deployment Stretchers (RD Stretcher), Individual First Aid Kits (IFAK), and Utility Pouches which have seen operational use with UK Forces. My favorite Module keeps a quadcopter mounted at the ready on the thigh, for rapid employment.
Zulu Origin is also in negotiation with numerous other manufacturers to licensing the LODEout system. Look for more info on them soon.
Agilite has just released the patent-pending Rear Hanger Pouch that unlocks the rear of a plate carrier for accessible storage.
The space below a plate carrier has never really been utilized because it was both hard to access and impossible to return gear to without assistance. The Rear Hanger solves this issue making it a great solution for medical gear, warm clothing, extra ammunition or other gear.
See how it works at agilitegear.com/products/rear-hanger
It is also available in a Berry Compliant version, for Government sales contact govsales@agilitegear.com.
The MultiMag Rapid-Adjust Pocket is a highly adaptable, ultralight magazine pouch designed for mission-ready performance straight out of the box. Engineered with patented adjustment and retention hardware, it allows users to quickly fine-tune the fit for a wide variety of firearm magazines and similarly sized items.
At just over 2 ounces, its 6/9 construction keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing durability or functionality. The integration of the Boa Fit System gives the operator precise, micro-level control over retention, ensuring a secure fit for any loadout configuration.
This pocket eliminates the need for inserts, though optional speed reload kits—compatible with two pistol magazines or a single M4—are available for those seeking even faster access. This pocket is compatible with FirstSpears Molded Speed Tab Kit (sold separately) for further customization based on mission-specific needs to enhance quick reload capabilities, making it ideal for high-stress environments where every second counts.
Fully backward compatible with MOLLE/PALS platforms, the MultiMag Rapid-Adjust Pocket integrates seamlessly into your existing kit. It’s purpose-built for the operator who demands adaptability, speed, and reliability in one low-profile solution. Whether mounted on a plate carrier, chest rig, or belt system, this pouch stays secure and responsive. Its intuitive design reduces snag points while maintaining quick-access functionality.
Ideal for use in both training and operational environments, it supports a streamlined, modular approach to gear management. The MultiMag Rapid-Adjust Pocket reflects a modern evolution in tactical magazine carriage—precise, efficient, and ready for anything.
