Grey Ghost Releases Suspenders for the Modern Gunfighter

September 27th, 2018

Lakewood, WA – Grey Ghost Gear, leading manufacturers of innovative combat proven gear, is excited to announce the availability of their UGF 3-Point Suspenders. Designed to attach to the updated UGF battle belt, this modern incarnation of the GGG LCE helps support heavy loads, while maintaining a lightweight feel.

Made from combination of Hypalon, tweave and other materials that are not only light, but also moisture and mold resistant. Additionally, the piece is made even lighter with the perforated holes to relieve material without sacrificing strength.

The Y-shaped suspenders use ITW G-Hook fasteners to interface with the Grey Ghost Gear UGF Battle Belt’s inner belt. At the end of each suspender strap is 11-inches of color matched elastic.

This allows a greater range of motion when running, climbing or any other extreme situation.

Each strap is equipped with a metal slip lock, to ensure that when you have the perfect adjustment, they are guaranteed to stay in place.

Grey Ghost CEO, Casey Ingels, states, “We’ve always been about the end user. It started that way, and it will continue that way. We take great pride in ensuring that we are putting the right gear in the hands of the people who need it most – and we maintain that relationship to this day.”

The UGF Suspenders are available in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam; and are available now through the Grey Ghost Gear Website, www.greyghostgear.com.

MDM 18 – Wizard Wall

September 27th, 2018

No matter the trade show, I’m always asked what the coolest thing I saw was. Sure, there were cool lasers and jackets and UAVs, but the most innovative thing I saw was Wizard Wall, probably because it’s the most practical.

We all used butcher block paper in the service and most of us dealt with map overlays. While they are great ways to share information, the issue with both of them is how to hang them. Wizard Wall makes it a cinch.

Available in clear and white, it uses static cling to stay in place. Wizard Wall is dry erasable.
