Save When You Buy Tyr Tactical’s New Basic Plate Carrier

Saturday, April 23rd, 2011

Tyr Tactical has just unveiled their new Basic Plate Carrier. It comes loaded with Tyr’s T-33 Plate Backers for use with in-conjunction plates or additional ballistic protection and is built with their PV500 material which drastically reduces the weight of this carrier to a meager 1.65 lbs (size Medium). They have included plenty of PALS real estate in the design (74 individual spaces on a size Medium) to accommodate customization. Additionally, the BPC comes with (1) 5”x6” general utility pouch, (1) single M4 Open Top Pouch and (1) Triple M4 Open Top Mag Insert.

Overall it looks to be a great bargain, but Tyr Tactical has also made a generous offer to Soldier Systems readers who want to buy the BPC and other products on the web site over the next two weeks. You can receive a discount of 15% by using the code 15SSD at checkout.

Available in Multicam, Coyote Brown, Ranger Green and Black in sizes Small – XLarge, Tyr Tactical products are Berry compliant. To order the BPC visit www.tyrtactical.com.

SORD USA Announces A-TACS Clothing

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

SORD USA has just announced that they are now offering their Smock in A-TACS camouflage (NYCO) as well as MultiCam (NYCO) and Tan (100% ripstop Cotton). We have chosen to include a photo in Tan because the A-TACS pattern works so well it masks some of the smocks features.

Redback One chief instructor Jason Falla has been wearing the SORD smock for a few months now and everyone who has seen it has been asking where they can get one. SORD USA heard their pleas and has answered them.

The smock features ELEVEN pockets (five around the waist, four on the chest and two on each bicep). Rather than the wire usually found in the brim of the hood, SORD is using a tube to shape it. The smock also integrates pit zips as well as 1000D Cordura elbows as well as tie down points for gloves at the cuffs. When buttons are used, they are of the slotted variety.

Four chest pockets consist of two large pockets with button closure and two side zip opening pouches for easy access while wearing body armor or chest rigs with a single zippered opening on the left chest allowing access to garments underneath. The waist features five pockets with the center rear pocket being a larger poacher-style pocket.

Generous bicep pockets consist of a large zipper opening main pouch, with a smaller top opening pocket for range cards, etc. The outer face of the bicep pockets features a large 4” x 4” Velcro panel for attaching IFF, ANFs, etc. SORD has also included a cover spare panel of matching material for instances where the IFF panel is not needed.

Additionally, they will have the Field Uniform Jackets and Pants in A-TACS within the week. They are also currently updating their website with caps in 3 versions; SORD logo, Velcro patch and US flag variants. Finally, check out the US flag on A-TACS background.

The Latest MultiCam Knockoff

Friday, March 25th, 2011

MultiCam was developed by Crye Precision and is currently one of the most popular camouflage patterns on the market. It’s been adopted by numerous countries including the US, UK, and Australia. Consequently, we run across MultiCam knockoffs all of the time. Readers send them to us often asking if they are authentic or not. In fact, we received one yesterday that really caught our eye. Generally, copycat patterns are intended for the MilSim or consumer markets which are often more driven by price than performance. But this one was different. It was developed by the US Army and oddly enough, for much the same reasons. Intended as a cost savings measure and yet still be MultiCam compatible, we’re not too sure they have succeeded at either goal. Take a look, and you’ll see what we mean.

Lightweight Packs from Grey Ghost

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Grey Ghost is our favorite liquidator of things tactical and we just found out that they just did of a run of branded lightweight assault packs and lightweight 3-day packs. Like the name says, they were designed to be lightweight. For example, the 3-day pack weighs 30% lighter than standard models. They were also designed to mitigate the IR signature. The photos below are not to scale and the pack on the left is the assault model while the one on the right is the 3-day variant.

Both are available in MultiCam as well as A-TACS and this has us scratching our heads. All we can find out is that they are over runs from a developmental contract for SOF. No matter, the “why”, at these prices these are going to go fast so if you want one you’d better jump on it like a fat kid on a donut.

Tyr Tactical Sneaks into New 5.11 Video

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

5.11 Tactical produced an excellent video featuring Kyle Lamb using a full array of their clothing and equipment. However, Kyle’s plate carrier somehow went uncredited. Once we took a look at it we realized it was a Tyr Tactical LWPC. We will say that 5.11 makes a great line of tactical products and their new MultiCam lineup is very well designed. We particularly like their Rapid Assault Shirt. But, they are missing a plate carrier. We wonder if this isn’t an indication of things to come?

5.11 products are available from a wide variety of military and police outfitters. For info on their latest products visit www.511tactical.com. For more info on Tyr Tactical visit www.tyrtactical.com.
