Purple Orange Media Event

Wednesday, August 18th, 2021

The evening before Outdoor Retailer Summer Market kicked off, PR company Purple Orange held a private media event at a local venue for the various brands the represent*.

It was very well attended and I didn’t get to speak with every company there because the lines were too long. So instead, I’m going to mention just a few brands and products.

Sea to Summit

Sea to Summit makes some great lightweight camping gear with welcome news that we’ll start to see more subdued colors as they begin to push into the hunting market. Their Stretch-Loc TPU straps are 12mm wide come in multiple lengths from 300mm to 750mm. The straps function like a belt with a bit of inherent stretch so you can crank down a bit for a snug fit. They are offered in Grey, Black and Yellow.

BioLite

The big new from BioLite is that they are introducing the Basecharge 600 and 1500. They incorporate ISB ports and DC sockets. The Basecharge can be recharged via shore power or solar panel.?

SomeWear Labs

SomeWear Pabs was the most interesting conversation I had at this event and it’s not just because they had heard of SSD. The company which specializes in satellite data services via this puck which connects your end user device to the web. It weighs just 4 oz and has been approved for DoD use with ATAK.

Gnarly Sports Nutrition

Fuel2O is like a powdered version of the gummies so many endurance athletes use so that the nutrients can be drunk while rehydrating. You’ll also get dextrose and sucrose (100 cal per 12 oz) as well as HMB (280 mg).

Raven Concealment Systems Releases Lictor G9 Magazine Carrier

Tuesday, August 17th, 2021

Raven Concealment Systems announced today the commercial market release of the Lictor G9 magazine carrier – a product which was been issued to .mil/.gov clients for the last three years.

The origin of the name of this magazine carrier is from Roman history, and is a subtle nod to the client for which this product was initially developed:

“A lictor (possibly from Latin: ligare, “to bind”) was a Roman civil servant who was an attendant and bodyguard to a magistrate who held imperium. Lictors are documented since the Roman Kingdom, and may have originated with the Etruscans.” (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lictor)

The Lictor G9 is the smallest-footprint double magazine carrier RCS has ever produced. It is also the first pistol magazine carrier they have produced that doesn’t need to be threaded on and off a belt.

These new magazine carriers are ambi, and have relief cuts on the outboard face in order to facilitate rapid magazine access whether worn on the waistline or high up on a vest or plate carrier.

The Lictor G9 magazine carriers were designed to accept mil-spec magazines from all of the “Big 3” modern service pistols (Glock 17/19/45, Sig M17/M18, and Beretta M9), and they also happen to fit a variety of other popular commercial-market 9mm/.40 caliber pistols with similar magazine dimensions (such as the CZ P07, CZ-75, Beretta APX, Beretta PX4, Walther PPQ, and Springfield XD and XDM).

The design securely holds two fully loaded magazines, and offers adjustable retention that can be dialed down for daily CCW or dialed up for overt use on armor carriers — without the need for flaps or bungies.

The belt clip on the Lictor G9 is also a brand-new RCS product, and allows the shooter to quickly don and doff the magazine carrier one-handed.  The belt clip can be removed from the carrier, exposing mounting holes which are compatible with a variety of after-market belt attachments and MOLLE/PALS mounting adaptors.  This provides end-users with an easy way adapt the carrier to a variety of applications on their body, inside a bag, a vehicle, etc.

This magazine carrier is equally suited for low-vis/CCW roles (like under a sport coat or untucked shirt) and overt roles, like being mounted on a war belt or plate carrier.

The Lictor G9 Magazine Carrier has a retail price of $39.99 and is available here:

ORSM 21 – Juggernaut.Case

Tuesday, August 10th, 2021

This is Juggernaut’s first commercial tradeshow, but I’ve got to show you two awesome products that are assembled together and as much military as civilian.

The Inductive Charge PALS Armor Plate Carrier Phone Mount features charging embedded into the mount arm with the cable terminating to a USB-A connector for use with standard external battery packs. It’s PALS compatible for direct mounting.

It’s paired with the PALS Pack Platform which is built by Mystery Ranch specifically for Juggernaut to offer a mounting option for those who don’t have a standard PALS platform like an armor vest. The PALS Pack Platform mounts at the chest area of a pack and takes the place of the sternum strap.
