Bawidamann PALS Universal Platform Back in Stock
Thursday, May 10th, 2012It’s been almost two years since we first wrote about Bawidamann’s revolutionary PALS Universal Platform (PUP) which is an add-on for knife sheaths and other items that you want to attach to PALS webbing. At first these were all hand cut from Kydex which meant they were often out of stock due to the popularity of the design. But, they realized that they could do it faster, better and ultimately cheaper through injection molding.
Available in both standard and mini sizes, PUP is a versatile design that allows you to assemble your sheaths and pouches to the PUP at virtually any angle and consequently to your gear, the way you want. Additionally, they’ve introduced blank models that allow you to cut your own mounting holes. These are a TacHacker’s dream!
All models of the PUP are manufactured in Ohio, USA.

Elasto-Lok from National Molding
Wednesday, May 9th, 2012
National Molding has introduced a new addition to the Dura-flex family, the Elasto-Lok. It features quick attach split bars allowing it to be quickly mounted to PALs webbing. The adjustable shock cord secures or stabilizes the accessory onto the platform. To remove the item a quick flip of the locking tab and the item is free in seconds. National Molding suggests it for securing flashlights or other items and they claim multiple Elasto-Loks can be used for larger items like break in tools.
Every Other Chest Rig On The Planet Is Now Too Heavy
Wednesday, April 11th, 2012‘Every Other Chest Rig On The Planet Is Now Too Heavy’ – That’s a pretty bold statement made recently by gear manufacturer High Ground as they introduced The Chest Rig. Even the name implies that there can be no other.
The rig is reversible – MultiCam to Coyote and features integrated ITW buckles to allow instant transition from H-Harness Shoulder Straps to Plate Carrier integration. As you can see it’s PALS compatible and relies as much on the pouches for structural support as they do upon The Chest Rig. It’s as bare bones as it gets.
Yes, some of us have seen a similar product in the past from Crye Precision where users obtained extra AirLite cummerbund panels for the Jumpable Plate Carrier and attached them to the front in order to rapidly reconfigure loads. It wasn’t by design as much by user adaption and its difficult to obtain a JPC let alone an AirLite cummerbund. The major difference here is that this was designed to work this way from the outset and includes a chest rig H harness with articulated shoulder straps seen here. I’m sure it’s going to be popular but I’m just as sure that there will be detractors based on its similarity to the Crye design.

High Ground ALICE Frame Modular Panel
Wednesday, February 8th, 2012
Despite its propensity for falling apart, the ALICE frame just won’t go away. Rather, it remains popular due to its ability to accept a wide variety of irregular loads becoming a modern day pack board. High Ground recognized its adaptability and decided to make it MOLLE compatible as well. They’ve created a new modular panel that attaches to the frame making even more useful for a variety of applications.
