Warrior East – High Ground Gear Ballistic Shield

July 15th, 2016

High Geound Gear hadn’t planned on releasing this ballistic shield yet, but based on recent events, they moved it up. The handle is a boltless design that doesn’t compromise the integrity of the armor, but rather clamps at the bottom and sides.  It offers Level 3+ protection and the screenshot below details the threats from the ballistic lab test.

Available in 30 days from www.highgroundgear.com.

Warrior East – Ops-Core FAST Side Armor

July 14th, 2016

The Ops-Core FAST Side Armor is a low profile add-on which allows the user to still get a cheekweld on his weapon. Additionally, it is easy to configure the helmet thanks to its simple attachment system.

This is the reverse side of the Side Armor. You can see the hexagonal attachment cleat which slides into the track on the ARC rail. Once it is rotated, the shape won’t fall out of the track. To secure the Side Armor the lever is rotated to lock it in place.

This chart characterizes the FAST Side Armor’s ballistic protection.


Offered in slim or wide profile in high-cut or super high-cut in Urban Tan, Foliage Green or Black.

Warrior East – Beyond Level A9E

July 14th, 2016

The level A9E (E=Equatorial) is Beyond’s Hot Wet uniform. Made from the USSOCOM-validated jungle fabric from Burlington, Beyond has kept the design simple, with a few specialized features.

For example, the Jungle Blouse has a mesh lined, rear vented yoke.

One feature that I haven’t seen in a jungle uniform before is the mesh underwear liner. It’s much like you’ll find in swimwear. There are also mesh gaiters sewn into the legs of the pants.

Warrior East – LBT Go Pack In Additional Colors

July 14th, 2016


Here’s a sneak peek of two new colors for the very popular Go Pack from LBT Inc. Instead of a 3-Day size, it’s really more of a day-and-a-half size which is perfect as a Go Bag. There are external mesh and zippered pockets in addition to the main zippered compartment. Additionally, the shoulder straps are the same reinforced, bartacked, padded from LBT you are used to.


Watch for awesome pricing during the initial launch.
