215 Gear – 2015 New Bags Video
Friday, March 13th, 2015RE Factor – Reversible Rainfly Cover
Wednesday, March 11th, 2015
I’ve been hoping someone would offer a water resistant, reversible Orange to Coyote pack cover and RE Factor Tactical came through. Their Reversible Rain Fly is specifically designed to fit on their ASO Bag as well as other 3-day assult pack sized bags. On top of the Coyote side is one 2 x 3″ and one 2 x 7″ loop platform for a name tape, marking IR patch for location at night or regular patch. On the opposite, high-vis Orange side is one 2 x 3″ loop panel for attachment of an IR patch or beacon light for easy marking. It stays in place via toggles designed for the ASO bag as well as a bungie cord.
There is also an integrated stuff sack for storage. Currently only available in a base color of Coyote. Hopefully, they’ll get some more MultiCam versions in stock. 6.2 ounces.

Sneak Peek – HPG Aston House

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Field Ruck
Friday, March 6th, 2015After calls for a more streamlined field oriented pack, FirstSpear developed the Field Ruck which offers more than 2000 cu in of carrying capacity. This week, we’ll take a look at this new pack which is an adaptation of the HOTEL 23, one of FirstSpear’s original products.
For one thing, They stripped all of the PALS webbing found on the HOTEL 23 the pack. On the Field Ruck, the side slots, which FS calls “wings”, accept tripods or other items such as trekking poles, antennas, probes, etc. Additional side carriage of gear such as rockets is facilitated by the 1.5″ compression straps. The buckles are large enough to find in the dark and can be manipulated in the cold, even while wearing gloves or mittens. The 6/12 compatible waist belt can also be removed when not needed in order to further streamline the ruck. Additionally, inside the bag, divider walls provide organization for the main compartment. These dividers can be pushed out of the way to maximize storage compartment space.
I really like the roll top closure at the top of the ruck’s bag. An extension skirt on the top of the main compartment can be rolled and secured with a side release buckle. This gives you a little extra carrying room. Additionally, there is a zippered opening at the top for quick access.
The Field Ruck’s bottom incorporates drainage holes.
The shoulder strap quick release is easy to manipulate and should be familiar to military users.
The lid can be removed and used on its own if needed.
Offered in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam.

AttackPAK
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015
AttackPAK is a Colorado-based company which specializes in a modular belt and pack system with a rigid frame.
The backbone of the AttackPAK system is the belt and frame. The belts feature multiple rows of PALS webbing, and readily function as stand-alone battle belts. These can be further customized with alternative buckles, and the belt covers can be switched out for covers with different loadouts, utilizing a single base belt. The frames are made from ABS plastic, and come in a multitude of sizes for end-user comfort and function. The frames slip into the rear of the belts, upon which all compatible packs can be mounted. As a bonus, the patented design allows the pack and frame to separate from the belt without removing the later, for quickly lightening the load.
AttackPAK offers multiple mountaineering and tactical packs. Seen here is the Transporter Pack, a 3000 cu. in. pack with accommodations for 3 hydration bladders, a cavernous main compartment, and a weight of under 2 lbs unloaded.
Tying in with the concept of modularity, here you can see the MOLLE Frame Cover being used to mount a Pelican case directly to the frame. Additionally, the ‘Balanced Load’ design transfers weight to the hips on all loads attached to the frame and belt system, insuring comfort over long periods of time and with heavy loads.
AttackPAK products come in standard tactical color options, including Black, Coyote Brown, and MultiCam.
