Mission Spec Releases Four New Products Just Before SHOT Show

Friday, January 12th, 2018

As we move into Shot Show 2018, Mission Spec is releasing four new nylon products – available immediately.

The MagRack5™ chest rig supports three 5.56mm magazines and two laser-cut PALS wings for attaching other essential items such as pistol ammunition, radio, or IFAK. Magazines are bungee retained. Magazine pouches are fully compatible with Haley Strategic MP2 Mag Pouch Inserts. The MagRack5 also comes equipped with two tourniquet holders and a loop Velcro field for identification. The unit can be used as a stand-alone piece of gear with the aid of the RackStraps™ (either Standard or Enhanced model) or can be integrated into a plate carrier such as the Mission Spec EC2™ or AC2™. The top horizontal GTSR buckles can be moved between the 90-degree and 45-degree positions for better integration options between plate carriers and RackStraps, respectively. Dual 550 cord loops hang under each outer magazine pouch for chem-light storage. A 7.62mm version (MagRack7™) is scheduled for release later in 2018.

The RackStraps™ integrate with the MagRack5 or other industry standard chest rigs. The Standard model offers a low profile and less expensive option while the Enhanced model gives the user the added benefit of closed-cell foam padding and airmesh to reduce shoulder fatigue.

The Armor Carrier 2 (AC2)™ is an even lighter weight version (~22.8 ounces) of the Mission Spec Essentials Carrier 2 (EC2)™. Removing the standard PALS grid and replacing it with loop Velcro makes the AC2 a great plate carrier choice to integrate with a chest rig (such as the MagRack5 or other industry standard rigs). All other features are identical to the Mission Spec EC2. The AC2 is fully compatible with other Mission Spec accessories such as the ShoulderSavers™ mk3 and FlankSavers™.

All four items are available in a large variety of solid colors and camouflage patterns. All Mission Spec items are 100% designed, tested, and manufactured in the United States with US-sourced components and are Berry Compliant.

Dynamis Alliance – ADAPTIV Denim Line Details

Friday, January 12th, 2018

DYNAMIS ALLIANCE confirms the ADAPTIV denim line is in production. This update comes a week after DYNAMIS announced their acquisition of OXCART APPAREL. Leading up to the OXCART acquisition DYNAMIS had been working with S&S PRECISION on collective intellectual property to develop the ‘ADAPTIV Integrated Waistband System’ or I.W.S. DYNAMIS has been planning on integrating this low-vis technology into their ADAPTIV denim and technical line to redefine and set a new standard with concealed carry.

“We’re innovators and mission focused on creating the best low-vis equipment in the world” said Dom Raso, Founder/ CEO DYNAMIS ALLIANCE. These strategic moves and design efforts are focused on dominating the low-vis apparel market.

The ADAPTIV I.W.S. is the first of its kind and features a precision design with the ability to integrate no-vis pouches that Raso and the Dynamis team are continually developing. The ADAPTIV line will feature a performance stretch, full motion denim that has been designed, developed, and manufactured in the USA. The jeans are integrated with sleek operator designed hidden pockets to spread the EDC load throughout the pant. Exclusive patented ADAPTIV I.W.S. technology gives the end user a comfortable, fully customizable load carry system meant to keep everything you need concealed and accessible on your 1st line. The ADAPTIV Jeans will give operators a great low-vis choice when working in austere environments, while also giving responsibly armed citizens a stylish no-vis option. The ADAPTIV I.W.S. is the new standard and the customizable possibilities are endless. Keep and eye out for upcoming holsters and various technical I.W.S. Pouches.

Research and Development (R&D) is at the core of ALL Dynamis methodologies. It is an essential part of any cutting edge and innovative company that plans on leading their field. Our team has had the privilege of working through some of the most complicated and critical problems for the modern day warrior over the last 20 years. Warfare (covert/overt) and modern threats have evolved drastically throughout that period of time. In order to give each warrior the edge on and off the battlefield it is critical to arm them with the best mindset, tactics, training, equipment, weapon systems, and technology possible. Our experience has and will continue to drive our overall performance of each detail in our products. Our vow to each and everyone of you that support and believe in our mission, is that nothing will be delivered to you that hasn’t been 100% approved and tested by the Dynamis team and other modern day warriors. Keep an eye out at Show Shot for all new Dynamis products and gear updates!

ADAPTIV “changing the way you think by what you wear”.

Mustang Survival Launches Next Generation SOF Life Preserver Unit

Friday, January 12th, 2018

For the past several years, Mustang Survival has been working to introduce a new inflatable life preserver. What they’ve come up with is so low profile and lightweight, it changes the way we will look at them. While the SOF LPU only weights 1 lbs, it provides 40 lbs of bouyancy. The biggest contributor to this weight savings is a new ultralightweight membrane film, used for the inflation chamber.

But Mustang Survival didn’t build this new system in a vacuum. I first saw a prototype at last summer’s Warrior East. At that point, they’d already been working for five years with ADS to refine the form, fit, and function of what would eventually become the Mustang SOF LPU. But over the last six months that collaboration, conducting some pretty significant customer engagement and feedback, as well as market analysis, looks to have really paid off. In fact, the two companies have been working together for 20 years, since the whole Diving Equipment Prime Vendor program started.

Since my first look, they’ve brought in long-time partner CM Hammar to develop a new programmable inflator which allows the user to configure it to trigger inflation by depth, time submerged in water, or a combination of both. They are also working together to identify and validate a next generation electronic inflator technology for the SOF LPU.

However, the SOF LPU will be offered in three configurations which fit the operational profiles of most LPU users. The MD1500 utilizes a Programmable automatic inflator, MD1501 utilizes HIT Hydrostatic inflator, and MD1502 utilizes Hammar’s new manual inflator.

That video was shot during a demonstration in a Norfolk pool in November. When we discussed the history of the project, Mustang Survival reps told me that a SOF customer had initially approached them, asking if they could integrate a new life preserver into their armor vest. Mustang Survival took a look at how many different vests had been in use at that organization and suggested that they instead create an appliqué which could be attached to any vest. PALS compatibility seemed like the best answer.

It’s being referred to as a SOF LPU, but everyone who currently uses some form of inflatable LPU is going to want this. Not only can it be attached to equipment via PALS webbing, but they’ve also created a stand alone harness so the LPU can be worn alone. That’s great for over the water Helo passengers, parachutists during admin jumps and small boat passengers. Additionally, SOLAS retro-reflective tape or GLINT can be attached to the inflation chamber via hook and loop to support those TTPs which use those markings.

Because of the SOF LPU’s low profile, the wearer will barely know it’s there. It’s not going to impede movement or situational awarenes. In the event of inflation, the chamber is out front, above any equipment such as ammunition, first aid kit, or radios. That way, the wearer can still access that gear.

The SOF LPU will be offered in Sepia, MultiCam, Coyote Tan and Black.

ADS and Mustang Survival will be jointly launching the SOF LPU at SHOT Show 2018 (January 23-26 in Las Vegas).
