Brigantes Presents – High Angle Solutions – Deuter Alpine Guide 35+ MultiCam

August 1st, 2018

Following two years of hard work Deuter Alpine Guide 35 in Multicam is now available. Fresh into the warehouse this classic mountain rucksack has been updated and modified to suit the needs of operators in the mountain environment.

Using the Deuter Alpine, X-Frame back system the pack is one of the most stable and comfortable packs to carry. The lid is extendable to accommodate expanded loads and allow for ropes or other pieces of hardwear. In order to maximise functionality it has a long side opening zip, which allows you to access the full body of the pack without disturbing the load under the lid or having to completely empty the pack.

The hip belt is removable and uses the Vari-Flex system, which enables it to move with you when moving thereby improving comfort and performance. A double pull waist belt gives secure adjustment and the sternum strap helps the load to remain in the right place on your shoulders.

The pack comes with a removeable sit mat and is compatible with hydration bladders up to 3 Litres. The sides of the pack provide ski loops and the front of the pack has points for two ice axes.

Overall this is the pack for mountain operations. It has long been the go to pack for people working in the mountains and is the only option for the military mountaineer.

Sneak Peek – Possible US Army SCW Prototype from Maxim Defense
August 1st, 2018

Over the weekend we told you that the US Army had issued a Prototype Opportunity Notice, reviving their requirement for a 9mm Sub Compact Weapon for its Personal Security Detachments which protect High Risk commanders and key personnel in the US and overseas.

we had checked outMaxim Defense’s new SCW stock during TRIGGRCON and asked them if they were going to participate in this PON. They told us they had already taken a look at the requirement and combining their existing Sub Compact Weapon Stock (SCW) with a Maxim 9mm bolt assembly, which shaves 4 inches off the buffer length, they were able to make it just under the 15″ overall length stipulated in the PON. The prototype seen here is outfitted with a Krink-style muzzle device and uses Glock magazines.

Not just enough to build it, they took the prototype out back, firing a 2 inch group at 35 meters from its 5.5 inch barrel, well within the accuracy desired by the Army.
