If it wasn’t enough that Hardigg (Pelican) has become the preferred storage and transit case provider due to superior closures and a lower price point than their competitors, they have something else to offer; removable soft cases.
The Nylon Weapons Case Insert was designed as a complimentary Discreet Weapons Case for the hard Storm Case. Manufactured from 1000D Cordura, the case features carry handles as well as a detachable shoulder strap. The case is also divided into two sections with a padded divider and both inner walls are covered in PALS to attach accessories for storage and transport. The Soft Case Insert comes with two MOLLE Muzzle Cups, four Velcro Straps, MOLLE Utility Pouch, and Shoulder Strap.
Available in Black or Coyote Tan from Blackheart International.
If you are looking for a duffel that is well built yet won’t burn a hole in your pocket, the Enhanced Duffel from Tactical Tailor comes highly recommended to us. At $95 this is practically a steal. PEO-Soldier has been looking for a replacement for the venerable GI duffel and this bag seems to fit the bill.
In addition to features found on the current issue bag like the ability to lock the bag shut, the Enhanced Duffel has shoulder straps that can be tucked away when not in use, as well as carry handles on top and at both ends. Additionally, there is a clear pocket and velcro strip to affix a name tape. To us, the best improvement is the full length zipper that allows you to pack and access your equipment more efficiently.
The Enhanced Duffel is made in the USA from 1000D Cordura and available in Tan, OD, and Foliage Green.
They are available at www.tacticaltailor.com.

This cinnamon flavored chewing gum packs 100mg of caffeine in each piece. First Alert Gum is found in First Strike Rations and has been issued NSN 8925-01-530-1219. Granted, they taste slightly bitter but the cinnamon masks most of it. Within a minute you can feel the active ingredient kicking in. The website cites several studies confirming the advantages of caffeine for sustained combat operations and I can speak from personal experience that when your eyelids get droopy, this stuff works.
Sold by MMI Federal Marketing Corp, Stay Alert Gum is available at AAFES or on the web from www.stayalertgum.com.
Brigade Quartermaster has been outfitting American troops with innovative products for over 30 years. The Heavy Coverâ„¢ Canteen Cup Lid is just another in a long line of kit that makes me scratch my head and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” I can remember boiling water in a canteen cup over a fire with a piece of bark on top as an expedient lid. Not to mention all of those times that I would get to the bottom of my coffee and find plenty of dirt. This thing is pure genius. My only question is, where were these things 20 years ago?
What I think is really cool about this design that snaps in place much like a Tupperware lid is that it incorporates a drinking spout. The lid available in Black and is made in the USA.

In a $200 million deal, Hardigg Industries (South Deerfield, MA) was purchased by Pelican Products Inc. (Los Angeles, CA). Interestingly, company sources indicate that due to differing manufacturing techniques and market shares, there is very little overlap between the two firms. Estimates are that two-thirds of Hardigg’s business comes from the military, while Pelican generated two-thirds of its revenue in the industrial and safety markets. Additionally, Hardigg Industries is a rotational molder while Pelican Products, Inc is an injection molder. Pelican plans to retain the Hardigg name on their cases.
London Bridge has been making reversible poncho liners for Government clients for some time now. Our sample is reversible from Woodland to 3 Color Desert Camo. While the materials are the same as the issue item, LBT does provide their liners with a zipper around three of the sides in order to make a simple sleeping bag.
Colors vary with contract customer requirements so selections for individual sales may be limited. Contact London Bridge Trading Company for more information.
