SHOT Show – Mystery Ranch
Thursday, January 17th, 2013Think of the new ASAP (left) from Mystery Ranch as a one day assault pack. Here you can see how it compares to its big brother, the 3-day assault. It’s a narrow design that isn’t any wider than your back.
What’s more, in addition to the standard frame, you can attach it directly to the rear of your armor carrier with quick attach buckles offering 1100 cu in of carrying capacity to your fighting load.
SHOT Show – Vertx Working with Industrial Alchemy to Produce Packs and Bags
Wednesday, January 16th, 2013SHOT Show 2013 marks Vertx’s move into packs and bags. They’ve teamed with design house Industrial Alchemy. Industrial Alchemy has been around for about 10 years and does a lot of work in the core outdoor industry. In fact, they worked on the old SDS commercial line. That means you are going to see some cross over of outdoor into tactical designs.
Colors are both earth tones as well as Kryptek patterns. While final color decisions remain, you can be assured that their will be great options for blending in.
These are design concepts that will give you an idea of what they will be offering. They are concentrating on a smooth, no obtrusive exterior with a ton of features built in. Sure, there’s PALS webbing behind the flaps of this sling bag. But what you won’t see here is the secret sauce behind the PALS behind the flaps. We’ll leave that for a later time.
These prototype sling bags are very well executed. You’d think they were production models.
Blue Force Gear Announces New Signature Pack with Chris Costa
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
This new Hive pack is a signature item from Chris Costa by Blue Force Gear. It is sling-style pack that is reversible with a small triangular pocket that will accept a pistol. All-in-all it’s about an 8 l capacity.
The pack is dapper compatible and designed to support discreet carry and will accommodate up to subgun sized weapons.
The concept is build this pack in small batches with different colors and fabrics so that they won’t all look alike and most importantly won’t scream, “gun!” The version they demo’d incorporates Tweave, a stretch material around the top flap and is in the Arc’teryx Urban Wolf.
Look for these this Spring, initially in Urban Wolf. Specialty color runs are a minimum of 300.
