High Speed Gear Launches Innovative SF Wrap Pads Redefining Comfort and Versatility in Tactical Gear

Tuesday, February 13th, 2024

SWANSBORO, N.C. – February 13th, 2024 – High Speed Gear®, manufacturer of the official magazine pouch of the Marine Corps, the TACO®- proudly unveils its latest innovation, the SF Wrap Pads. HSG® is setting a new standard in user comfort and adaptability within the tactical gear industry. Featuring G-Form’s patented SmartFlex™ Non-Newtonian impact additive technology, these revolutionary pads are meticulously designed to mitigate shock, effectively reducing fatigue by dampening the transfer of energy to the end user.

The HSG SF Wrap Pads showcase a versatile design, allowing for a wide range of configurations to meet various support needs. One of the distinctive advantages of the SF Wrap Pads is their compatibility with most plate carrier shoulder straps, belts, and weapon slings, significantly improving user comfort across multiple tactical gear components. The material’s adaptable nature allows customization by trimming with scissors to achieve a personalized fit. Pair the SF Wrap Pads with products from High Speed Gear like the Apex™ Sling, Apex™ ER Sling, Core Plate Carrier, Operator Belt, etc.  

Key Features of the HSG SF Wrap Pads:

SmartFlex™ Non-Newtonian Impact Additive: Reduces fatigue by attenuating shock and energy transfer.

Versatile Design: Accommodates various configurations to meet diverse support requirements.

Compatible with Various Gear Components: Fits most plate carrier shoulder straps, belts, and weapon slings.

Customizable Fit: Material can be trimmed for personalized adjustments.

Accommodates Straps up to 2.5 Inches Wide: Ensures versatility across different gear sizes.

Water-Resistant Closed-Cell Material: Does not absorb water, maintaining durability and reliability in various environments.

Proudly Made in the USA; Berry Amendment Compliant: Ensures high-quality and compliance standards.

“Using SmartFlex™, we were able to reduce the amount of transmitted force to the wearer by 76% compared to standard EVA foam and HSGI’s legacy pads,” shared Shawn Connor, VP of Strategic Partnerships for G-Form. Together, G-Form and HSG designed a solution compatible with Shoulders, Crew Served Weapons slings, backpacks, plate carriers, belts, Cable management and more.”

“Conventional load carriage padding options have been limiting comfort for users for decades. They’ve been dealing with impact, fatigue, and discomfort and we knew this had to change,” said Dave Jackson, Director of Government Sales at High Speed Gear Products Group. “High Speed Gear has developed the game-changing, SF Wrap Pads with the use of technology from G-Form that brings users a thin, lightweight, comfortable, impact absorbing system.”  

The launch of the SF Wrap Pads demonstrates High Speed Gear’s and G-Form’s dedication to providing revolutionary, high-quality products that redefine user experience in the field.

Sneak Peek – MedSled by Spiritus Systems

Monday, February 5th, 2024

Diring SHOT Show, Spiritus Systems showed us something they had developed. Instead of introducing a whole IFAK pouch, they decided to make a new insert for existing pouches like their Medium GP pouch. But they tell us, it can be stored other places like in vehicles.

The construction has a little bit of stretch to keep everything secure inside the pouch and the ripcord can be configured for vertical or horizontal pull.

It was designed to fit most items except for a tourniquet and EMT shears but they’ve found most people keep those handy, outside their IFAKs.

At any rate, it makes a nice tray that holds equipment. It comes with a grid and dot system along with shock cords and tabs to set it up however you want.

SHOT Show 24 – MATBOCK Update

Monday, January 29th, 2024

MATBOCK showcased updated panels for their Graverobber series. Since its inception, operators have loved the ability to adjust these panels, but as one operator said, “I know when I need to make another adjustment to the panel, I would grab a beer, turn on a movie, and get ready to do surgery.” He continued, “This is a game changer, and we will be looking forward to buying the panels.” 

The pictures are from their Graverobber Assault Medic (GRAM), but all the panels will be getting this upgrade. MATBOCK also said that they will be offering just the panels for sale so you can upgrade your existing packs. The first production run of these is scheduled for February / March 2024.

SOTECH Debuts Their Springnose Taser 10/7 Holster, Airborne Cobra and Light Infantry Suspension System

Friday, January 26th, 2024

SOTech will be unveiling an array of new product designs at SHOT Show this year.  We’ve spent the better part of 2023 conducting field tests and interviewing soldiers from the 82nd ABN, Ranger Regt, Special Forces and 25th ID developing our Light Infantry Suspension System, Airborne Cobra Pack, and medical systems.  These tests are culminating in review by the Army over upcoming months.  The LISS supports ensembles including rifleman, medic, leader, SAW gunner, grenadier and breacher which will be on display.  The jumpable arrangement of the Cobra pack and our new series of scrim and ruck covers will also be shown.  Come by booth 20059 to check them out, and if you can’t make it to SHOT, check them out in our catalogs at: sotechtactical.com/pages/catalogs   US Patents and Patents Pending

After dominating the soft-shell market for Axon Tasers for 25 years, SOTECH launches its first plastic holster.  Rather than adopting a pistol holster to a taser, SOTECH designed the Springnose TM around the features and requirements of both a Taser 7 and Taser 10.  We worked closely with LAPD Training Division to absorb their requirements and lessons learned.  We came up with a holster design that encompassed these features:

• Accessed with either strong hand or weekhand draw.

• Slim body design takes minimal space on the belt.

• Downward and rearward draw eliminates accidental weapon misidentification.

• Compressing taser against spring plate and rotating rearward provides quick draw.

• Extra retention strap with thumb snap is removable, and sewn semi rigid.

• Secondary weapon release provided by thumb depression of top hook.

• Officer can screw adjust to forward, vertical, or rearward cant.

• Officer can rearrange holster to right or left-hand wear.

• Field repairable as bottom cap is removable for access to spring compartment.

• Belt clip secures with unique inverted buttons.

• Belt clip fits 2 ¼ patrol belt and inner clip fits dress belts.

• Made in USA and US Patented and Patents Pending.
