Ares Armor Combat XII Medical Pack

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

Designed utilizing the personal combat experience of the founders of Ares Armor, they have developed the Combat XII Medical pack to meet the needs of medics out in the field who need an organized bag that offers increased mobility during a firefight. The pack is manufactured with 1000D Cordura Nylon and is Made in the USA.

The Combat XII Medical Pack’s main compartment zips down on each side to flip open for easy access to all supplies. The internal walls are lined with loop lined webbing that can be used to integrate hook backed or MOLLE compatible pouches. The medic pack comes complete with two 12-inch and two 9-inch pouches with hook backing and full length zippers for organization of individual equipment or addition supplies.

The pack also includes five individual hook attached loops to hold tourniquets, trauma shears, compression bandages, etc., as well as one multi-loop to insert needles and catheters, which includes a threader to integrate the loops. The main compartment also integrates a hydration carrier that can port out the top of the pack through each side of the drag handle.

Much like the original Combat XII Pack, the new Medical pack has two built in external pouches. One small general purpose pouch for a cricothyrotomy and surgical kits as well as airway adjuncts. The medium sized pouch has a dedicated chest seal pouch and integrates a Velcro loop lined webbing to add more organizational pouches. It too flips open for easy access when on the ground. Both of these pouches webbing on the outside for additional MOLLE compatible pouches, sheaths, etc.

A top magazine mount is also present on this pack which can fit three magazines in each of the three sections. Each section of the top mount can also carry a 500 ML IV bag, gauze, quick clot, or other quick access supplies. They have added a flap to each section which help block out UV rays and secure the contents. The outside of the mount is lined with Velcro loop to secure the flaps and add any patches.

The pack can be worn with the shoulder straps that it comes with or can be directly attached to any armor carriers with the MOLLE webbing on the back face. The Combat XII Medical Pack is now available for order at PredatorARMAMENT.com and is offered in A-TACS AU or FG, MultiCam, Black, Coyote, and OD Green. They also have a few packs in A-TACS AU and Coyote for first comers with the full production run for all colors available at the end this month.

One of our astute readers ran across this Russian video of the Chechen War featuring a Soldier firing a PKM machine gun fed from a backpack. The scene depicted above is at 1:13 on this song video from the move, “Specnaz.”

Jedburgh Pack

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Designed by a Veteran SF NCO and PMC, the Jedburgh Pack from Bad Company Tactical is named for the OSS Teams of World War II. It is a semi-rigid design intended to be worn primarily with armor thanks to removable plastic inserts and aluminum shims. The aluminum shim can be bent to your body’s or equipment’s contours. Additionally, the pack itself is no wider than your back and you can run your comms wires, hydration hoses, antennas etc through the left, right or middle of the of the top of the pack.

The shoulder straps feature four points of adjustment and actually get longer at the top so that you don’t have buckles clear up at your nipple level when wearing armor. To this end, they are also thin and narrow in order to reduce bulk. Manufactured from 500D Curdura, this pack is Berry compliant.

Blast from the Past – Mystery Cinch

Sunday, May 20th, 2012

We constantly attract new readers at SSD so every once in awhile we go back into the archives and resurrect an old post. When the Mystery Cinch was first released it was shockingly simplistic. Now, it is more poignant than ever since being adopted as part of the USMC FILBE pack. Once you look at this video you will hit yourself in the forehead with your palm and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” In fact, simplicity might be its elegance, but it has garnered Mystery Ranch a patent.

Designed to work with any pack, the Mystery Cinch routes the straps close to the center of of the chest and prevents the straps from creeping up under the arm. Additionally, pack straps don’t adjust tight like they would during normal wear so when released from the Mystery Cinch they fall right off the arm. Its single motion, quick-release design sheds the pack smoothly. Because the Mystery Cinch uses the armor’s PALS grid it offers the flexibility to accommodate a variety of armor vests, pouch configurations, and pack straps.
