S.O.Tech Road Warrior Bag in MultiCam Arid

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022

A travel bag designed by guys who hit the road hard, fast and often – SOF operators. These are guys who are always waiting for the balloon to go up and the call to move out. The guys who live in hotel rooms and stay prepped and organized to lift and shift to the next location on a moments notice.

The Road Warrior Bag has pockets for your power cords, first aid and survival kits, international licenses, passports and travel documents, and a main compartment organizing your hygiene items and meds. This bag stays stocked and loaded in your locker. When the call comes, you throw this in a 3 day pack with a weeks worth of clothes and you are out the door. When you are laid out in your hotel and the team needs to shift to the next town, a quick visual inspection of this pack will remind you what is missing before you blow out. Power cords, batteries, can openers, flashlights, SCUBA license, bug juice, pill packs – everything has its place. And when you get back to home base, restock before you replace because you never know when that phone is going to ring.

The Road Warrior Bag also makes a great tool, electronics or medical bag.

Drops Friday 2/25 12pm PST. While supplies last, no backorders. $99. Use the following code at checkout for free shipping: asseenonssd

Evolution of Shaw Concepts ARC Placard

Saturday, February 19th, 2022

Shaw Concepts shared the evolution of their ARC Placard.

The ARC Placard is nearing the drop of its third iteration and with that we wanted to look back at the previous versions and show you all how it’s progressed. We’ll also try to give more insight to why changes happened and our train of thought. We hope you like this and let us know what you think!

V1: Our first production offering of the ARC Placard was our goal to bridge the gap between traditional MOLLE pouches and placards. The most popular placards on the market all seemed to be double stacks so we chose to avoid that and cater to those who wanted a flat front with the option to build it out further. We also introduced a number of features which have caught on since including the built in bottom Tourniquet sleeve and side elastic bands for pouches and pen style items.

V2: The V2 was our first update where we not only improved the design but add more features that have again become more common place in the industry. Specifically adding Tubes to the sides of the placard so it could directly attach to Tubed cummerbunds as well as using Velcro One Wrap to make the placard buckles adjustable for height and hardware. It also started using advanced materials and was introduced with more magazine options.

V3: This is the latest improvement to the ARC Placard and the most dramatic change in the series. The key new feature is its ability to easily expand to hold more magazines than most others on the market. The V3 uses Shockcord along the sides to make the pouch adjustable to whatever insert is used inside. A number of smaller revisions have been made and more details on the V3 will be coming in the coming days…

Chest Rig Power Up: Qore Performance IcePlate EXO-CRH (Chest Rig Hydration) Brings the Unmatched Power of IcePlate Curve to Chest Rigs

Friday, February 18th, 2022

Sterling, VA: The incredible power of the IcePlate® Curve plate carrier Cooling/Heating/Hydration system is now available for chest rigs thanks to Qore Performance®, Inc. releasing the newest member of their IceAge Ecosystem: IcePlate EXO-CRH (Chest Rig Hydration).

IcePlate EXO-CRH brings the duty-grade thermoregulation and hydration for which IcePlate is known, with its slim and ergonomic profile, to chest rigs like those from Haley Strategic Partners (shown). Showcasing the incredible versatility and modularity of their IcePlate EXO® plate carrier, IcePlate EXO-CRH uses an IcePlate EXO rear plate bag as the primary holster for IcePlate Curve. The all-new SizzleStick cummerbund attachment mechanism, which provides adjustable fit and adjustable stretch for maximum breathability in the field, then connects to any chest rig or placard with one inch side release buckles. The IcePlate EXO plate bags (front and rear) have open bottom corners so they can be used with Left Exit or Right Exit IcePlate Curves – a feature that was designed into IcePlate EXO from the beginning to facilitate multi-platform functionality: plate carrier, chest rig hydration harness, or cooling/heating/hydration vest (CBRNE, MOPP, HAZMAT, EOD).

“IcePlate EXO-CRH is one our most anticipated releases since our IceVents Insoles,” says Justin Li, Qore Performance Co-Founder and CEO, “not only because it brings the incredible performance-enhancement and environmental inoculation capabilities of IcePlate Curve to chest rigs for the first time, but also because we designed this capability into IcePlate EXO from day one and have been anxious to share it with our customers. As we have said from the beginning, thermoregulation is the next frontier in human performance and IcePlate EXO-CRH now makes this capability available to even more user applications.”

Available in MultiCam, Wolf Grey, Black, Ranger Green and Coyote Brown, IcePlate EXO-CRH is in-stock and shipping now. IcePlate EXO-CRH® is 100% Made in the USA from US materials in-house at Qore Performance in Virginia.

As the inventors of specialized and consumable thermoregulation for PPE users, Qore Performance bridges the gap between human and machine. Their IceAge Ecosystem protects over 31,000 daily active enterprise safety users. In addition to their military, law enforcement, and civilian customers, dozens of America’s Fortune 1000 companies including Dutch Bros Coffee, Boeing, Charlotte Area Transit System, Marathon Petroleum, Black Rock Coffee (Arizona), Valvoline Instant Oil Change, Costco, and FedEx, depend on Qore Performance to safeguard their teams in the field. Qore Performance enterprise customers have worked over 4,000,000 hours since launch in 2017 without a single heat injury.

TNVC Presents the M81 Woodland Collection – Custom and Exclusive Products in a Cold War Classic

Wednesday, February 9th, 2022

February 9th, 2022

TNVC is excited to celebrate the kick-off of our Annual virtual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoors, & Tactical Tele-event (vSHOTT) with the official launch of the TNVC M81 Woodland Collection, a collection of custom and exclusive / specifically selected products and accessories in the classic M81 Woodland Camouflage Pattern.

tnvc.com/shop/category/woodland-collection

M81 Woodland is one of the most prolific and iconic camouflage patterns of the modern era, it was the standard camouflage pattern for all four services before the Global War on Terror. It holds a special place in many people’s hearts, especially veterans, from those who wore starched and creased BDUs with spit shined boots, to those who invented the modern combat uniform with RAID Mods and other mission specific adaptations.

TNVC has partnered with some of the leading companies in the industry, including Ops-Core, OTTE Gear, Tactical Tailor, and others to bring a range of products and support for this Cold War Classic that so many of us were brought up on, and can still be quite effective in many environments.

To launch the M81 Woodland Collection, TNVC has partnered with Ops-Core as the Exclusive Commercial Distributor of Woodland Pattern FAST Helmets, starting with the FAST SF Helmet, based on the USSOCOM SPEAR FTHS (Family of Tactical Head-borne Systems) Ground Ballistic Helmet.

tnvc.com/shop/ops-core-helmet-fast-sf-super-high-cut-ballistic-tnvc-exclusive-m81-woodland

These special TNVC Exclusive FAST SFs have the same durable, hydrodipped finish used on the standard Multicam FAST SF helmet, and have all of the same features of the standard FAST SF/FTHS, including the industry leading Vented Lux Liner and OCC Dial suspension, Skeleton ARC Rails and shims, as well as the 3-Hole Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS) to mount mission critical equipment such as Night Vision Goggles.

M81 Woodland Helmets are currently inbound, and initial orders should ship within 1-2 weeks, with many more on the way in all sizes!

To accompany the M81 FAST SF, we are also re-releasing the TNVC Mohawk Gen. 2 Helmet Counterweight and Accessory System in M81 Woodland, with all three variants (MK 1 Counterweight & Battery Tray, MK 2 ANVIS LPBP and similar, MK 3 L3Harris CWBP and similar) currently available in stock:

tnvc.com/shop/exclusive-tnvc-mohawk-m81-woodland-special-edition

Along with the popular Night Vision Goggle Pouch, Padded, Expandable (NVG-PPE), and a special Custom Exclusive OTTE Gear OG Helmet Bag with a “TNVC Green” High-VIS internal lining and PALS webbing on the inside to secure the NVG-PPE.

tnvc.com/shop/category/woodland-collection

Of course, not to be forgotten, included in the M81 Woodland Collection are Nocorium Low-NIR reflectivity NVG vinyl wraps, available not only for a wide variety of goggle systems, including the L3Harris BNVD (AN/PVS-31), as well as for the L3Harris GPNVG Panoramic Night Vision Goggle and TNV/BNVG-M Artemis Binocular Night Vision Goggle, but also for Ops-Core AMPs, and other accessories!
