SHOT Show 22 – Crye Precision
Tuesday, January 18th, 2022
Crye Precision is displaying multiple new products for 2022 including cold weather clothing, overwhites, accessories for armor carriers, a pack, and belts.
SMOC
Naturally, I’m super excited about the SMOC (Special Missions Operations Coat) which is made from a durable water repellent ripstop nylon shell and is fully lined. However, in order to prevent overheating, they have incorporated mesh at the chest pockets and underarms. It incorporates thumb loop cuffs, an elastic crotch strap and a shock cord cinchable waist.
It also includes Field Expedient buttons which are square in shape and easily accessible with gloves. They can also be replaced without the need for sewing.
The roll-up, helmet compatible hood is stowable at the collar, and features 2-way adjustable shock cord. It is designed to integrate with the Compact Assault Ghillie and accepts CP’s Airflex Field Kneepad in the elbow pad pocket for support while prone. Fit is oversized to layer over a uniform or baselayer top and a LWF 2.0 or Mid Loft Jacket in cooler temps.
The new cold weather clothing consists of components of Crye’s Alpine Terrain Operations ensemble which was developed initially as part of the Nordic Combat Uniform System.
?
They are releasing High Loft Parka and Pant along with a Midloft Parka and Pant There’s also updates to the Halfjak and LWF.
HALFJAK 2.0
The HALFJAK 2.0 includes numerous enhancements. It has jump-tested shoulder pass-through pockets that give access to underlayers, and thumb loop cuffs that keep sleeves in place and fit over and under gloves. The new J Hook clips are used to attach the Halfjak to the armor vest. It is insulated with ClimaShield Apex insulation and the shell is Nano STX treated to keep the water out, while a more durable yet lightweight fabric on the lower sleeves provides reinforcement.
Overwhites
The Overwhites are all offered in MultiCam Alpine.
ATO LW Overwhite Jacket
The ATO – Alpine Terrain Operations Lightweight Overwhite Jacket offers quick alpine concealment in a highly packable, lightweight design. Constructed from a durable and water-resistant nylon shell, it features shoulder and pit zipper pass-through pockets to access gear underneath and provide ventilation. Sleeves stay in place with stretch thumb loop cuffs and an adjustable elastic cord waist and hem keeps out the cold. Designed to be layered over baselayer, uniform and outerwear tops.
Zip-On Panel Adapter
A simple PALS compatible zipper adapter for CP armor vests which facilitates the addition of zippered panels.
Modular Side Armor Suite
The new side armor pouch suite features Crye’s new revolutionary attachment system. Its made from Airlite material with their unique tip and slot geometry to provide a better connection without the potential failure that conventional snaps might have. Interior stretch fabric provides for a form fit and allows for carrying soft armor and a 6×6 side armor plate. This new strap system allows for a secure fit to JPC, AVS and skeletal cummerbund system. Five sizes provide overlap and coverage.
EXP Venture Pack
The EXP VENTURE PACK has a large top opening with built-in garment bag allows for easy packing, protecting suits or uniforms. The internal separate shoe compartment provides a space to keep your shoes or dirty clothes away from the interior of the bag.
Storable reinforced pack straps and highly durable 1000D exterior.
Belts
Finally, there are four new belts. Three are components of the Minimalist Carry System and the odd man out is the latest iteration of the Blast Belt.
MCS Inner Belt
Crye Precision’s MCS INNER BELT works as a pants belt while supporting outer attachable combat belts. A low profile semi-rigid contoured design ensures there is no pinching while supporting drop holsters or IWB holsters. Mil-spec VELCRO on outer face provides a platform for a secure fit when mating with Crye’s outer belt. 1” adjustable side tabs made with Mil-spec webbing allow for multiple closing options, 1” G-hook and 1” Side release buckle provided. Available in 6 sizes.
AIRLITE SLC Blast Belt
The AIRLITE SLC Blast belt provides level IIIA protection in a low profile contoured package allowing for a streamlined fit while reducing weight using Crye’s new AIRLITE material for mounting pouches. Side flaps with snaps allow for quick and easy attachment and removal of drop holster systems. Inside reinforced pockets allow belt to integrate seamlessly with StKSSTM (Structural Kinetic Support System) our revolutionary load support system that transfers vest-borne weight to the hips. The AIRLITE SLC Blast belt is compatible with Crye Precision’s LRB and suspenders.
MCS Load Rated Belt
The MCS Load Rated Duty Belt provides the highest level of comfort with the ability to attach MOLLE style or AVS style pouches. Independently tested to meet the static and dynamic strength requirements of EN 358 (Fall prevention test standard). A low profile semi-rigid contoured design ensures there is no pinching while supporting drop holsters or your belt pouches. MIL-SPEC webbing on the outer face provides a platform for a secure pouch attachment while low profile hook on the inside ensures a secure attachment to the MCS Inner Belt.
MCS Duty Belt
The MCS Duty Belt is designed for comfortable wear as a duty/gun/gear belt with the ability to attach MOLLE style or AVS style pouches. A low profile semi-rigid contoured design ensures there is no pinching while supporting drop holsters or your belt pouches. MIL-SPEC webbing on outer face provides a platform for a secure pouch attachment while low profile hook on the inside ensures a secure attachment to the MCS Inner Belt.
Colors vary based upon product. Once again, all of the Overwhites are in MultiCam Alpine. Other clothing is MultiCam with possible solid options like Black, Ranger Green and Coyote. Nylon gear in MultiCam and Black, Ranger Green and Coyote or Gray.
Everything is Berry compliant except the ATO High Loft Pant because the reversible zipper isn’t available in the US.
All of these new products are set to roll out throughout the rest of 2022.

AUFIRE Gun Shot Simulator E-Stim System at Shot Show Booth # 20059
Monday, January 17th, 2022
New in 2022 (AUFIRE) Accuracy Under Fire, the next big evolution of injury simulation training for reality-based force on force, stress inoculation, and resiliency development. www.AUFIRE.com AUFIRE is preparation for worst-case scenarios. Instructors use AUFIRE’s remote controlled (E-Stim) Electrical Muscle Stimulation to inflict instant-simulated incapacitating injuries via tight E-Stim muscle contractions, allowing trainees to practice and improve their decision-making, return-fire accuracy, life preservation techniques, and adaptation skills all while under the simulated duress of being hit by gunfire, cut by a knife, or injured by blunt force objects during dynamic force-on-force training. AUFIRE creates consequences in training, making it as realistic as possible, commanding greater attention and deeper learning from the training experience. AUFIRE will rapidly build the trainee’s stress inoculation and resilience levels, which results in more confident, calm, and measured responses during high-stress encounters.
