I know it seems a bit odd to post about Warrior East, but this video, with an overview of INVISIO’s offerings, was just released.
Another item I saw in the Eagle Industries booth at Warrior East was Link-Tail. Developed by UK firm Excel-Eucan Ltd, it is Made in USA by Eagle. It’s a snag-free means to carry and use linked ammunition.
-Its design facilitates a Snag-Free Delivery directly to the Weapon Systems Feed Tray
-The unique design of the Link-Tail enables the user to fire directly from the sleeve without the need to remove the ammunition
-Link-Tail’s offer protection from exposure to Dirt, Sand, Grit, Snow and Excessive Moisture
-The Link-Tail houses a continuous 200 Round Belt of 7.62mm or 400 5.56mm
-Visible Indication of Ammunition Status
-Facilitates Rapid Ammunition Resupply
-Maintains Combat Effectiveness and Ensures Ready Ammunition is Fit for Use
Link-Tail has been procured by the US Army Rapid Equipping Force.

Making its debut at Warrior East is the Small Rolling Trunk from Kelty. It’s about half the size of its big brother at ~5,000 cu in. Made from 1000D Cordura, it features haul handles and four external pockets.
Additionally, it is Berry Compliant. But the big story here is the metal frame.
I’ll categorize it as virtually indestructible. I say virtually because if you challenge Joe with a claim of indestructible, he’ll do anything to prove it wrong, even to the point of wrecking his own equipment.
Unfortunately, that beefy frame is going to have some heft to it, but I don’t have a weight for it yet. Coming very soon, from www.kelty.com/military.
Diving Unlimited International updated their Sniper Weapons Waterproof Bag by incorporating shoulder straps, a drag loop at the top and inner straps to keep the weapon from moving around inside the bag.
Additionally, they’ve introduced the new plastic waterproof zipper. However, like its predecessor, it still features an oral inflation tube.

Petzl’s Caritool (left) was originally designed as an Ice Screw Holder. The carabiner design attaches to a climbing harness (or other belt) and has an integrated clip to held it in place. It can be used to attach a variety of gear, including ear pro on a gun belt.
The newer Caritool Evo (right) has an even deeper basket and a different, rear mounted, tension attachment system so it can be used with wider belts.
Neither are designed as personal protective equipment.
