Monday, September 19th, 2022

SWANSBORO, N.C. – September 20, 2022 – High Speed Gear® has added the Mini Missions Pouch to their line of tactical gear products and accessories.

The Mini Missions Pouch is a versatile, general-purpose pouch that adapts to changing missions and roles. Much like the High Speed Gear Special Missions Pouch, the Mini Missions Pouch caters to HSGI users across many professions. Both the Special Missions Pouch and the Mini Missions Pouch come with three mounting options.

“The versatility of the Mini Missions Pouch makes it a great option for individuals that have ever-changing mission requirements,” said Jim Skelton (USMC, Fmr.), Senior communications Strategist at High Speed Gear. “The ability to mount and wear the pouch three different ways allows for the Mini Missions Pouch to adapt to new kit setups and accessibility for the end-user.”

The Mini Missions Pouch can be worn as a hanger style product attached below a plate carrier or placard, worn with an included waist strap, mounted to a belt. The Mini Missions Pouch can be used as an admin pouch with an internal loop panel organizer, or a first aid pouch with an exterior elastic loop to secure a tourniquet.

Shaw Concepts RAID Pouch

Saturday, September 17th, 2022

Is the RAID pouch’s full name a Retronym?

Which came first? The acronym or the words? The answer has been lost to time but the meaning remains. The Releasable Abdominally Integrated Drop Pouch V2 is the first of its kind to use a First Spear Tube to rapidly attach and more importantly detach the pouch from the load bearing system it is attached to. It also is a convertible pouch which can be ran as a Fanny Pack apart from load bearing systems.

PS, the patch is for an upcoming fundraiser.

Prometheus Design Werx – All Terrain Pouches

Wednesday, September 14th, 2022

Zipper Opening Accessory Pouches, Waterproof Rated to IPX7

Prometheus Design Werx introduces their new, All Terrain, zippered, waterproof accessory pouches in three sizes. Instead of the simpler, flat, 2-dimensional construction method, a more complex and time intensive, 3D box type construction was used in the making of these, dramatically improving usable space. With high frequency seam welding and waterproof zippers, the All Terrain Pouches were able to achieve an IPX7 waterproof rating. The 600D RPET fabric is rugged yet light weight and 2 styles also feature translucent windows to easily ID interior contents. These pouches are ideally suited for rainy weather, travel in all conditions, to any activities in and around water.

The PDW ATP-1, ATP-2, and ATP-3 are available in Universal Field Gray.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“These took us a while to do. We worked on these for over 2 years until we arrived at the final iterations which we were happy with. We saw an opportunity to create a waterproof accessory pouch that went beyond the typical flat style. By adding walls to create a box type construction, we were able to push these into the Z-axis realm and have a 3-dimensonal shape with LxWxH volume. Using high frequency seam welding and waterproof zippers were able to attain an IPX7 waterproof rating. These All Terrain Pouches will be ideal for storing small personal effects, first aid, fire making supplies, EDC tools, and much more, in a truly waterproof environment. Each style features our M.OLLE C.ompatible A.rray (MCA™) on the back to mount to any PALs friendly system.”

The PDW ATP-1 and ATP-2 will be available for $19 and $23 respectively, at noon Pacific, today, Wednesday September 14, 2022 via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com. The ATP-3 will follow later in late September.

Matador Speed Stash Adds Convenient Storage To Most Backpacks

Monday, September 12th, 2022

Matador Travel Equipment, the producer of performance travel equipment, introduced its Speed Stash, a “universal” backpack strap that attaches to any backpack with a sternum strap, even if unbuckled. 

“The Speed Stash is one of the most universally useful products we’ve launched yet,” said Chris Clearman, founder and CEO. “It provides quick access to your phone, snacks, camera, or anything else you like to keep on hand. While we recommend pairing it with a Matador backpack, it works well with any backpack with a sternum strap, adding quick access for the most critical items.” 

The Matador Speed Stash incorporates locking bars to trap a pack’s sternum strap for a secure attachment, providing convenient front access for frequently used items. Made from Bluesign-approved fabric, the Speed Stash features a Powermesh elastic front pocket for easy access and a zippered main compartment designed to fit most cell phones, passports and GPS devices.  

Finn-Savotta to Supply New M23 Equipment Sets to the Finnish Defence Forces

Thursday, September 8th, 2022

We have received a purchase order from the Finnish Defence Forces worth approx. 13 million eur for new M23 belt and pouch sets. We will also be manufacturing the textile parts for a 7 million eur procurement of M17 body armour. The body armour systems will be supplied to the FDF by Finnish body armour specialists C.P.E. Production Oy, for whom we have worked as subcontractors in the earlier procurements of the M17 system.

These projects will keep a considerable portion of our resources busy for a few years and may temporarily affect the availability of our commercial products. We are already working on expanding our production capacity to keep up with the growing demand.

The M23 belt and pouch set is designed for soldiers using M17 body armour and other PALS compatible load carrying equipment. The set includes a PALS compatible belt, two double magazine pouches, one single magazine pouch, four utility pouches, an empty magazine dump pouch and two hand grenade pouches. All pouches are made in Finnish M05 woodland camouflage and feature both PALS and belt attachment systems.

This project will have a domestic employment impact of ca. 50 person-years, with manufacturing being done at our facilities in Finland and Estonia. The main materials used, 500D and 1000D Cordura fabrics, webbing and buckles are made in the EU, with the majority of the webbing and a few other materials used being Finnish made. These are the same high-quality materials we use in the production of our commercial products.

This project is another natural step in our decades long commitment to the Finnish Defence Forces, for whom we have since the 1960’s designed and made, tents, backpacks, the M85 and M05 series of load carrying equipment and various other equipment. It should be noted that for us the Finnish Defence Forces have always been more than just a customer. In the end we design and manufacture gear for use by our friends, family and ourselves.

Arbor Arms – Stowable Nalgene Pouch – 16 oz

Tuesday, September 6th, 2022

The Stowable Nalgene Pouch – 16oz is a simple, lightweight pouch that carries a 16oz Nalgene (or similar water bottle) on your belt kit or any other MOLLE/PALS platform.

The pouch has a bottom gromet to allow drainage and a shock cord retention strap that you can fold away when not in use.

It will also accept other items like magazines and radios.

Additionally, they’ve got a branded 16oz Nalgene Bottle to go with it. Yep, 16 oz. They went with the smaller size so that it’s small enough that it’s not as much weight on your belt kit or on the waist strap of one of their Nut Rucks.

Loads of color options.
