SplashGuard and Waterproof Liners from S.O.Tech

Friday, April 24th, 2009

S.O.Tech has been really hitting it hard this year developing and releasing an entire new load carrying system called the Mission Pack System. To complement this new system, they have just released the SplashGuard Liner constructed of 420D polyurethane-coated fabric. The bag closes at the top which is rolled down and buckled shut to protect the contents from moisture as well as sand and other debris. This style features webbing on the closure to provide additional strength and durability as well a convenient carry handle.

S.O. Tech has also unveiled a waterproof bag with a water-tight closure making it a fully submersible liner. It also has an elbow valve to bleed off excess air or to inflate the liner to improve buoyancy. The liners are manufactured in accordance with MIL-0-81375B (Oral Inflation Assemblies, Survival Equipment, Inflatable).

Both styles are currently available in two sizes to accommodate the Mission Go Bag as well as small packs. For additional information or to order visit www.specopstech.com.

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

S.O.Tech Go Bag Mini

Designed for MARSOC medical personnel, the S.O.Tech Go Bag Mini is a unique hybrid mashing S.O.Tech’s popular Go Bag with a waist pack. This design allows for shoulder carriage as well as waist wear. When worn as a waist pack the bag can be easily moved from rear to front allowing access to med kits, breaching gear, and SERE kits even when wearing body armor. Additionally, the padded shoulder strap increases stability for heavy loads. When used as a go bag, the Go Bag Mini can store between seats as a tubular bag and the end pull handle gives a quick and easy grab and go. After bailing out of the vehicle, the padded shoulder strap allows for easy over-the-neck carry on the back. Double internal (against the body) zippers allow for access for bag entry while walking or running.

S.O.Tech Go Bag Mini

Internally, the main compartment has numerous elastic loops as well as a zippered mesh pocket. A large zipper and Velcro pocket on top of the pack allow for rapid access to field dressings or tools. One very distinct innovation is a hydration slot located on the shoulder strap. The shoulder strap also features PALS. The Go Bag Mini is available in Coyote Brown.

Back from Retirement – the Biafra Mile Run Pack

Monday, March 30th, 2009

The original Urban E&E bag is back! Ok, so now it’s a pack and before it was a pouch but that is just semantics. The important thing is that Eagle has brought it back.

Eagle started with the classic design and updated materials and a few design features. The BMRP carries everything you need to stay alive in a hostile city, or a friendly one for that matter. It has provisions for a pistol, spare magazine, map, survival equipment, passport, and other essentials.

The universal holster accepts most common semi-auto pistols and the single magazine pouch is also sized for most common semi-auto pistol magazines. Behind the holster platform is a full length pocket with a Velcro closure for added security. The wings open in a manner similar to some IFAKs. The right wing folds out to expose a clear see through map case, and the left wing features a mesh zipper pocket. The bottom flap features a mesh zipper pocket with a hidden pocket behind the seam for further storage. The rear of the BMRP has a low visibility pocket allowing access to a passport and other travel documents without having to open the rig for access.

The removable waist belt and adjustable shoulder straps are low profile and a simple baggy shirt makes this item disappear beneath your clothing.

We really want to applaud Eagle for manufacturing more and more products from 500D Cordura. It offers an excellent balance between weight and durability. Available in Grey or Khaki from Eagle Industries.

330D Revolution? Ha! Try 20D

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

At the OR Summer Market last August we took a look at a dizzying amount of fabrics. For us, only one or two really stuck out. One such fabric was from Cubic Tech Corp. Primarily they are sail cloth manufacturers and their product was used to bring the America’s Cup home to the USA. Non-woven flexible composites made from Cuben Fiber offer customizable ply orientations which afford directional stability and strength, as well as real rip-stop. A broad selection of films add the flexibility of an array of properties including toughness, low gas permeability, and visible & UV light protection. The material is intended to be glued rather than sewn and this could ultimately lead to stronger as well as lighter equipment.

Is the market ready for this yet? Not completely, but we hope that someone will take up the charge and try it out. Arc’teryx has already released a pack with welded seams on the commercial market and issue dry bags feature RF welded seams. At least initially we expect for such products to be for very specialized applications, but as the technology is refined perhaps one day everyone will carry equipment manufactured from ultra lightweight fabrics engineered specifically for the application.

They can even offer laminates in colors.

Check out Cubic Tech Corp for more info.
