Velocity Systems Quad MPX SwiftClip Placard and Triple AK47 SwiftClip Placard, GP

Thursday, December 16th, 2021

The Triple AK47 SwiftClip® Placard, GP is a smaller, lighter alternative to a full chest rig, and is a quick attach/detach option allowing the end user to quickly change weapon systems without removing the rest of their equipment (radio, med etc). The placard has upward facing male buckles to clip into the SwiftClip® System on the chest of plate carriers and vests. The placard holds three AK47 magazines with an adjustable shock cord retention system. The front of the placard has three general purpose pouches, and a loop panel on the center pouch flap for ID Patches. www.velsyst.com/collections/featured-products/products/triple-ak47-swiftclip%C2%AE-placard-gp

The Quad MPX SwiftClip® Placard works in conjunction with our SwiftClip® attachment system to attach to an armor carrier or vest. The placard allows the user to carry four MPX (or similar sized) magazines and provides additional rows of MOLLE to increase modularity. The design includes internal dividers that creates four separate magazine pockets, each with an adjustable shock cord retainer and webbing pull tabs. The back of the placard has hook Velcro® to mate with the loop Velcro® on the front of an armor carrier or vest. The height of the buckles from the top of the placard can be adjusted by hook and loop straps on the back of the placard to get the placard to the needed placement on chest. The front of the placard includes 2 rows of 6 column MOLLE webbing. www.velsyst.com/collections/featured-products/products/quad-mpx-swiftclip%C2%AE-placard

Want to Add Tubes to Your Issued IOTV?

Thursday, December 16th, 2021

Now you can!  Arbor Arms has released 2 new Cummerbund upgrade kits to cover all US Army standard issue armor carriers. 

The IOTV Tubes®/Taktic FLEX Cummerbund Kit (US Army) covers the currently-issued Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) Gen2, Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV) Gen4, Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) Gen1, MSV Gen2 and other carriers that utilize the National Molding Quad Release system.  It gives you your choice of the ubiquitous First Spear Tubes® or the more budget-friendly Taktic Buckle.  The buckle adaptor pushes the Tubes® to the edge of the MOLLE front flap for daily doff-and-don while maintaining the emergency release of the Quad release system already used on these carriers.  You also get to choose between Arbor Arms 2- or 3-strand FLEX Elastic Cummerbund, which gives the streamlined comfort and breathability of elastic while maintaining the MOLLE real-estate and combat load carrying support of a static cummerbund.  Because it fits so many different armor carriers there are several rear cummerbund anchor options that are included with the kit.  This also allows you to maintain your cummerbund kit as you change units and armor systems.

As with above kit the SPCS Gen1 FLEX Cummerbund Kit (US Army) has the same great features, but tying in to the cable emergency release on the legacy SPCS Gen1 carrier as there are MANY still in circulation.  

The 2- or 3-strand options allow you to tailor your cummerbund to your needs.  For example, the 2-strand FLEX Cummerbunds are great if you want to minimize bulk and run slick sides.  The 3-strand FLEX Cummerbunds are ideal for maximum load support with side SAPIs and radios mounted internally, as well as mags, frags, and GP pouches mounted externally.  Arbor Arms Side SAPI Pouches and Minimalist Radio Pouches (MRP) make a great addition for internal mounting on our FLEX or other MOLLE cummerbunds.

S.O.Tech Convertible Go Pack in M81 Woodland!

Wednesday, December 15th, 2021

Over 16 years of the iconic S.O.Tech Go Bag line. The SGP (S.O.Tech Go Pack) for the first time now offered in M81 Woodland. The Go Pack having convertible shoulder straps that go from backpack to sling carry.

The S.O.Tech Go Bag series came from a friend in one of JSOC’s Tier units. They were operating in Afghanistan and Iraq crammed in Hi Luxes and Little Birds. They needed a survival kit bag that could slide in and stack in those compact spaces and extract when the troop came into contact.

The original tubular bag with single sling shoulder strap had three small zippered pockets for batteries, food, NODS, and other items.

When the same troops needed to transport their weapons quietly, we extended the length to accommodate the M4 broken down and extended the side pouches to take mags. Breaking the carbine down and stacking its components presented a a tubular shape that confused any surveillance team looking for weapons bags.

The design was quickly adapted by teams across the Interagency. And the third iteration was the S.O.Tech Go Pack where we created a double shoulder strap version for those guys carrying such a heavy load that the sling shoulder strap just wasn’t enough. However, we configured it in a unique arrangement so the double shoulder strap could connect for form a single sling strap for lighted load. All of these designs allowed for the quick donning motion of throwing it over the head and shoulder, and the easy access by spinning it around.

Tenicor Launches The Zero Belt

Tuesday, December 7th, 2021

Tenicor has added the Zero Belt to their lineup. Like their holster, their belt is something different than most of us are used to. The idea was to give you a smooth front of the belt with no buckle to interfere with other gear.

With the Zero Belt, the tail end of the belt tucks behind the rest, instead of outside and across the buckle or through the buckle and back where it came like on a rigger-style belt. This allows for a very low profile loop buckle.

When I got the belt I didn’t think it was going to be very secure, but the tension system works just fine. It’s also plenty rigid.

Make sure you watch this video.

These belts are sewn by Wilderness Tactical Products and are very high quality. The tail end of the Zero Belt is treated with Wilderness Tactical Products’ proprietary polymer, which soaks into the core of the nylon, permanently protecting it from fraying.

Offered in sizes 28-44. Just buy your pant size.
