OR – Karrimor SF Bowman Pack

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

Karrimor is well known throughout Europe for their trekking as well as military products. This year they have joined us here in the US for the OR Summer Market. Not only have they unveiled a whole lineup of outdoor packs and footwear but they’ve included a full range of military packs and load carrying systems in OD, Coyote, and The new British military issue Multi Terrain Pattern (MTP) developed by Crye Precision.

This is the pack Karrimor developed for the Bowman radio (A/N PRC-177 series). It is issued with Bowman radio sets for the UK, Netherlands, and several other nations. You can the clamshell design that cradles the radio close to the body. Below the pack is fully closed and not only provides room for other equipment but also helps to disguise the radio operator’s role. The pack also accepts zip off side panels then also be used with load carrying equipment.

High-Capacity Ammunition Carriage System

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

The Army developed he “new” High-Capacity Ammunition Carriage System in 45 days for use by troops in Operation Enduring Freedom. As soon as I saw it I raised an eyebrow. Unfortunately, it already existed in the form of the MICO from Tyr Tactical. The MICO was developed on Tyr’s own dime and debuted about a year ago. If time was of the essence, it sounds like the Army wasted 45 days to redevelop a commercial product that already existed.

Since we haven’t actually seen the High-Capacity Ammunition Carriage System, it might work entirely differently from the MICO. For instance the MICO uses a dedicated frame while the Government model attaches to a Down East frame. However, conceptually, they work the same way. Granted, it’s been done before to varying degrees of success, but something had to inspire the idea. We have been at war for nine years and no one asked for this until now? Was there at the very least some outside inspiration? Take a look at both versions and you be the judge.

But then again, maybe they were just inspired by Hollywood.

Naw…I’m not buying it either. If anyone in Government ever questions why Industry has animosity toward them, this might just be a good place to start.

Good on Kit Up! for breaking this story.

High Ground Gear Modular Pack with Quick-Release Waistbelt

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

Here’s another cool product we’ve been sitting on for awhile now. We like High Ground Gear’s innovative designs. This one is a releasable waistbelt for their HG830 Modular Pack. This allows you to rapidly ditch your pack without removing the belt. This is particularly handy if you are using it to carry your pistol and other survival gear.

The HG830 Modular Pack incorporates several unique features. The rigid frame is designed specifically to be worn over body armor and integrates an internal pocket in the lower back of the frame will hold 4 ergonomic mag-pouch inserts (5.56 or 7.62). The shoulder straps feature cable-routing designed to collect the clutter of hydration hoses and cables to keep you from getting snagged. Additionally, the internal hydration pocket accepts most 2 to 3 Liter hydration bladders without bulging into your back plate. Finally, the frame’s ample PALS webbing field allows it be configured for a wide variety of applications.

The waistbelt is easily cut-away but the best way to see how this releasable waistbelt works is to watch this video.

Available in MultiCam, UCP, Coyote, Black, and Ranger Green. The waistbelt is offered in two sizes, Large and X-Large.

Kifaru Cargo Panel

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Coming soon, the Kifaru Cargo Panel was designed to be used with their Duplex Frame as well as all of their packs from the Express on up.

There are three different adjustable height options. The compression straps are removable and there are three for each side with multiple attachment points. This allows you to use up to three straps on each side and arranged at any angle you want depending on the load. Additionally, there are two options to carry it when not in use. On the Duplex Frame packs, it can be attached to the frame and then sandwiched between the frame and bag or, it can also be rolled up and cinched down on itself.

Here you can see it in use. The adjustability is really going to shine with this one.
