Now Shipping: Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig and Low-Pro GP Pouch

Tuesday, January 17th, 2023

POOLER, GA—Blue Force Gear announced today at SHOT Show in Las Vegas that its much-anticipated split-front chest rig will start shipping immediately.

The Ten-Speed® SF Chest Rig from Blue Force Gear was developed with recce operations in mind, where the need to lay prone for extended periods can be complicated by gear mounted to the front of body armor. Designed to be worn over armor or by itself, the SF Chest Rig zips top-to-bottom and can be spread open to move any chest-rig-mounted kit to the sides for a more comfortable prone position.

The front of the chest rig features four stackable mag pouches and comes in M4 and SR25 versions. The military-grade elastic allows metal or polymer mags to fit securely and lay flat when not in use, and the pouches are overlayed with ULTRAcomp® high-performance coated fabric for extra strength. Each of the SF Chest Rig’s four Ten-Speed mag pouches has single-column, 6-row MOLLEminus™ fields and two additional columns of 5-row MOLLEminus fields on each side. This makes it easy to add the BFG Low Pro GP Pouch (designed specifically for this chest rig) or other MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories.

The SF Chest Rig has padded shoulder straps with integrated management for comms cables and hydration tubes. MOLLEminus fields make it possible to attach additional accessories, and side-release buckles make it easy to completely detach the front of the chest rig for integration with some third-party plate carriers and hydration harnesses.

The Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig is available now in limited quantities at BlueForceGear.com.

Low Pro GP Pouch

The Low Pro GP Pouch was designed to fit the new Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig. This general-purpose pouch features a slight outward taper from top to bottom, making it easier to access its contents when mounted on the chest. The pouch has two-way zippered pockets, and the larger pocket contains Ten-Speed elastic to help organize the pouch’s contents. When empty, the pouches have a low, flat profile.

The Low Pro GP Pouch is available now at BlueForceGear.com.

Sneak Peek – All In Deployment Bag from Mystery Ranch

Monday, January 9th, 2023

Based on customer requests, Mystery Ranch has introduced the All In Deployment Bag which launches next week during SHOT Show.

Offered in Berry compliant and international versions, this 160 L bag features wheels and a large central compartment.

The team at Mystery Ranch assembled a focus group of end-users to create the All In. Unlike other bags in the market which are festooned with external pockets, the All In is a more sleek design with just a clear ID/document sleeve.

Made from 1000D, there are also ample carrying handles and haul loops to bear the load in addition to a wheeled removable frame for additional rigidity. The frame also keeps the bag upright and they’ve reinforced the corners of the bag to prevent wear.

As I mentioned earlier, there are USA and international versions. In order to keep the price lower on the Berry compliant version, it doesn’t include all of the features found on the international version.

To the left is the Berry compliant model and on the right, the international. While the Berry model an internal compression strap, the international model has dividers which allow it to be used like a steamer trunk.

The Berry compliant version is offered in Coyote and MultiCam while the international version can be had in Black, Coyote and MultiCam.

Check out both versions of the All On Deployment Bag at SHOT Show in booth #31309.
