Lindnerhof-Taktik Sets Wednesday, 29 June, for Launch of Its New MX Multi-Purpose Pouch Series

Tuesday, June 28th, 2022

LENGGRIES, GERMANY (27 June 2022)—Fresh off the successful rollout of its second- generation plate carrier LT042/2, tactical gear-maker Lindnerhof-Taktik will later this week launch its newest must-have accessory—the MX Multi-Purpose Pouches, a trio of highly versatile yet lightweight add-on pockets designed to help users of the brand’s plate carriers more easily and effectively complete their missions.

The series consists of the MX174 Multi Hanger Pouch, the MX053 Multi-Pouch Horizontal, and the MX054 Multi-Pouch Vertical. All three will be available for purchase beginning Wednesday, 29 June, at the Lindnerhof online store.

Lindnerhof is known for its value-added products, and this newest lineup is no exception: the three MX Multi-Purpose Pouches come with an array of classic features but also some that are distinctly on the cutting edge, Lindnerhof CEO Jakob Kolbeck assured.

A key feature shared by the three new pouches is their interior multi-modular design. Inside each pouch is a Velcro® lining that permits easy attachment of Lindnerhof specialised organising panels. Kolbeck said he recommends users add the LT128 Panel Kit which, he explained, “includes everything you need to transform your plain pouch into a well-organised, secure holder of extra ammunition, medical supplies, radio equipment, writing implements— whatever you need your pouch to be, this kit gives you the ability to get it mission-ready.”

The MX Multi-Purpose Pouches—made from Lindnerhof’s innovative MX multiaxial laminate material—are exceptionally light in weight. They also are distinctively slim and feature a reversed integrated two-way zipper. “The reversed zipper mechanism is designed to keep dust and dirt out of the pouches without sacrificing the user’s ability to easily and swiftly access their contents,” Kolbeck said. “The idea for this sensible mechanism came from our customers—it was through our practice of continuously eliciting user feedback that we learned of their need for a solution to the problem of dust and dirt affecting the sensitive optics and technologies they so often carry around with them on missions.”

Kolbeck noted that the two-way reversed zipper system’s fast-access attribute is facilitated by a drawstring positioned at the top-middle of each pouch. “As they say: if it’s multipurpose, it’s also got to be multi-opening,” Kolbeck mused. “To open these pouches in a hurry, all that a user needs to do is pull the drawstring. Or, if not in a rush, then the user has the option to use the zipper.”

For loadout, the MX174 Multi Hanger Pouch attaches to any Lindnerhof Plate Carrier underneath the front or back plate compartment. “Normally, the space beneath the front plate is never used for anything, but the MX174 perfectly fills out this empty space while also keeping the loadout slim and free for additional gear,” said Kolbeck. “The MX174 Multi Hanger Pouch also comes with integrated elastic cords at the bottom to permit the stowing of tourniquets for quick access. And there is Velcro® at the front of the hanger pouch so that users can affix their unit patches.”

Both the MX053 Multi-Pouch Horizontal and the MX054 Multi-Pouch Vertical can be attached by classical MOLLE fixation. Additionally, the MX053 and MX054 include conventional hunting/outdoors industry-type slots for looping them directly onto a belt.

“The MX053 and MX054 have identical features; the only difference is their orientation—the former aligns horizontally, and the latter aligns vertically,” said Kolbeck. “As with the MX174, these two pouches have exterior attachment points for carrying tourniquets and lights or for compressing the pouch if necessary. They also let users attach unit patches at the front.”

The MX Multi-Purpose Pouches go on sale 29 June 2022 and will be available in four colours: Coyote, Stone Grey, German 5fb Flecktarn camouflage, and MultiCam® (with Black expected to be added by year’s end).

Spiritus Systems Releases the 34 Alpha Split Chest Rig Chassis

Friday, June 24th, 2022

Available today at 1600 EDT!

Spiritus Systems has added a new chest rig chassis to its line of modular chest rig components. The 34 Alpha Chest Rig is a split chassis that will interface directly with the existing Spiritus Systems straps and pouches.

This is a true blank-slate platform that enables load-carriage configuration options for weapon ammo of nearly any caliber, and when combined with the Spiritus Systems current Pouch Suite, the end user’s options are near-limitless. The system is constructed to be as low-profile as possible to add minimal bulk to the finished split rig, letting the end-user configure a chest rig that does exactly what they need it to do on any given mission without added bulk or unused space.

The system can be paired with a set of Micro Fight Fat Straps and Back Strap to create a complete platform for a wide range of load bearing configurations. The panels are built with Squadron MOLLE front faces and elastic cells on the back for extra storage. The bottom of each 34 Alpha Panel also has a Velcro slot to mount hanger pouches. The chest rig panels are connected via two sliding Fastex buckles that provide a secure connection point, as well as quick, one-handed, opening and closing when engaging in activities that may require an open front configuration (i.e. going into the prone). They also allow for micro adjustments at the front without having to modify the width of the back strap.

Each panel features six columns of MOLLE on the front and is compatible with all of Spiritus’ GP Pouches, our SPUD Pouch, the Liberty Dynamic Flash Bang Pouch, the JSTA Pouch, and Nalgene Water Bottle Pouch. Top of the panel is built with integrated anchor point holes that give the wearer a secure solution for internal magazine retention when combined with our bungee retention kit, or to tie down secure items stored on the chest rig pouches.

The internal elastic cells in the back are sewn in at three different widths to accommodate a wide range of items ranging from pistol magazines and multi-tools, all the way to 7.62 rifle mags and more. When assembled, the 34 Alpha Split Rig gives end-users access to a load bearing solution that will support a wide range of weapon platforms, mission profiles, and loadouts.
