Vertx Announces Partnership with Kyle Lamb

Wednesday, January 19th, 2022

Vertx has announced the beginning of a partnership with Kyle Lamb of Viking Tactics® (VTAC®). The collaboration begins with the launch of the VTAC® Stackable Storage Cube Collection in early 2022 and will be followed by regular product collaborations later in 2022 and beyond. The Stackable Storage Cube Collection is now on display at SHOT Show 2022 inside the Vertx® booth, #14253. Kyle will be making appearances in the Vertx® booth throughout the show.

“When I decided to partner with Vertx® I did it because we had the same ‘Stay in the Fight’ mindset,” said Kyle Lamb, of Viking Tactics. “We’ve been able to partner, design some great products, and this is just the beginning.”

Sergeant Major (retired) Kyle Lamb spent over 21 years in the United States Army, with over 15 of that in 1st SFOD-D Delta Force. He has participated in many conflicts, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Iraq, as well as in the battle made famous by the movie Black Hawk Down in Mogadishu, Somalia. SGM Lamb has received numerous valorous awards and decorations and is the Founder and President of Viking Tactics.

“Kyle’s experience as an end-user, both professionally and personally, and as a product designer gives him a unique perspective on the needs of the industry,” said Denny Bogard, VP/GM of Vertx®. “Working in tandem with Kyle and VTAC gives us an opportunity to continue to provide end-users with product that is high-quality, mission-oriented, and ultra-versatile in ways we never have before.”

PRODUCTS

The first set of products that will be available, are an innovative set of storage cubes. The Cubes are constructed using an innovative tab system that can interlock with each other to prevent spills during travel and allow the user to create a custom-organized setup..

The full set consists of 6 storage cubes and 1 tool pouch. The Storage Cubes range from 1L to 60L for full customization depending on your mission set.

Each cube has unique features, but all include:
• Low-profile interlocking tab system is designed to hold Cubes together
• Zippered top opening with lockable YKK® zippers
• Can be pressed flat for easy storage when not in use
• Write bar and loop-side patch on side for easy identification of contents

Construction:
• Durable ripstop nylon that resists wear and tear
• Poly-carbonate exterior coating is wipe clean, water and stain resistant
• Inner PU coating is lightweight and water resistant
• Pockets constructed using tear-resistant honeycomb mesh

The VTAC® Stackable Storage Cube Collection will be available in-store and online at vertx.com/VTAC in early 2022, with a secondary launch later this year.

Velocity Systems Launches New Products

Friday, January 14th, 2022

Velocity Systems New Mission Configurable Chest Rig (MCCR), Mission Configurable Placard (MCP), Double 5.56 Insert, Triple 5.56 Kydex Insert, Double 7.62 Kydex Insert, Quad MPX Insert, Double Pistol Insert, Side Flap Radio Pouch Motorola APEX, Side Flap Radio Pouch 148-152s.

The Mission Configurable Chest Rig (MCCR) was designed with modularity in mind. This lightweight, versatile system can be run as a stand-alone chest rig (MCCR), or as a placard (MCP). The MCCR/MCP can be built to meet a wide range of operational requirements through the utilization of a host of accessory options including: 7 different magazine inserts, 2 radio inserts, MOLLE Side Flaps, a Kangaroo Zipper Top, and a Lower Abdomen Pouch.

The body is 10.5” long, 7” tall, 6.8oz and features: 5 rows of 6 column MOLLE, a kangaroo pouch for magazine inserts or the Kangaroo Zipper Top, a built-in map pocket, side envelope pockets to add radio inserts or MOLLE side flaps, and a bottom envelope pocket to add a Lower Abdomen Pouch. All pockets are secured with hook and loop VELCRO® brand closures.

The kangaroo pouch can hold the Double Pistol Insert and Double 5.56 Insert simultaneously or the Triple 5.56 Kydex Insert, Triple 5.56 Insert, Double 5.56 Insert, Double 7.62 Kydex Insert, Double 7.62 Insert, Quad MPX Insert, Double Pistol Insert, or the Kangaroo Zipper Top (in size small) solo.

Two MOLLE side flaps come standard with the MCCR to add two extra rows of storage capability. The MOLLE side flaps VELCRO® directly into the side envelop pockets. To increase versatility, you can also utilize one of the two radio insert accessories in place of the MOLLE side flaps: Side Flap Radio Pouch Motorola APEX and Side Flap Radio Pouch 148-152s.

Comfort is key, the MCCR harness comes with padded shoulder sleeves made of a stretch woven material. The material allows enough elasticity to permit room for cable/hydration tube routing and adds comfort while still maintaining a low-profile design. The harness features a 4 row x 4 column MOLLE panel for antenna relocation routing, hanging a hydration bladder pouch or additional accessories. The harness can be adjusted for 6” of height by moving the front ITW QASM Buckles vertically in the provided sewn slots.

To increase versatility the Mission Configurable Chest Rig (MCCR) can be easily converted into the Mission Configurable Placard using the Velocity Systems SwiftClip® System. Simply remove the four 1″ split bar side release buckles and attach the placard to the front of your plate carrier by clipping in the two upward facing male buckles and attaching the hook VELCRO® on the back of the placard to the loop VELCRO® on the front of the carrier.

Note: The MCCR and MCP do not come with magazine inserts, radio inserts, the Kangaroo Zipper Top, the Lower Abdomen Pouch, or any other accessories. Some of these additional accessories are needed for operational requirements. Some images display optional accessories that are sold separately. The Mission Configurable Chest Rig (MCCR) comes with a harness, a waist strap, and MOLLE side flaps only. The Mission Configurable Placard (MCP) comes with side flaps only.

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.
