Kommmandostore Launches Niemoller Webbing Pre-Order

Wednesday, December 11th, 2024

Whether you’re a fan of the history of load carriage systems or a student of the wars in Africa, Niemoller Webbing has legendary status.

Niemoller webbing gets its name from its designer, Johann Niemoller. He served as a member of the South African Defence Force’s Recces, a special forces unit that conducted deep reconnaissance and raids into enemy strongholds.

Niemoller wasn’t satisfied with the 70s-era kit he had been issued, so like many of us, he modified what he could but eventually crafted a unique load carriage harness. Other operators saw what he had done and asked for their own. Before he knew it, everyone was wearing one of his rigs.

Unfortunately, his original design was dumbed down a bit once the SADF adopted it for general issue. Eventually, Niemoller founded the company Adro during the 1980s which served as a military outfitter.

Original Niemoller webbing can go for high prices on the collector’s market so few want to use them for training or operations.

Kommandostore made it a goal to reintroduce the design and tracked Johann Niemoller down to make it happen. They’ve re-introduced this design under their North Equipment Collection.

I don’t want to call these reproductions because these are the genuine article, just of new construction, Made in South Africa, using South African materials from the company that originated the design.

Now available for pre-order. To order, and for a much more in-depth discussion of this project, visit kommandostore.com/products/sadf-niemoller-recce-webbing.

Spectre Military Equipment – Protected Compass Pouch

Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

While most of us in the US rely on the issue Lensatic Compass, many use various versions of the Silva line.

Manufactured from laser cut Cordura, the pouch is reinforced with Curv’s PauaSkin to offer rigidity and protect the compass.

Additionally, the compass can be accessed from top or bottom and there’s a tether eyelet inside so you can tie it down.

Now this is interesting, it’s available with two different attachment variants.

The MOLLE variant features PALS and the tear away variant is backed with Velcro hook which fits directly onto the loop MOLLE backer so you can remove the whole thing quickly.

Available in any color as long as it’s MultiCam.
