Marine South – Aardvark Project 7

April 11th, 2016

Aardvark’s System 7 debuted at SHOT Show but that venue is so big I didn’t get a chance to check it out. That’s why I attend so many smaller, regional shows. You never know what cool item you’ll get to see.

The System 7 armor vest is manufactured by Safariland’s Protech exclusively for Aardvark and incorprates all of the latest technologies like laser cut, laminated materials from Blue Force Gear and Tubes from FirstSpear.

The carrier is available with Velcro closure or Tubes.  You might also notice the angled laser cut PALS slots.  Aardvark says that internal testing has shown that this Angled MOLLE field is stronger in pull testing than more traditional horizontal slots.

The are numerous soft armor packages available for the vest from Safariland. Naturally, hard armor plates are also available but interestingly, they load into the carrier from the top.  Additionally, Aardvark offers removable upper arm, groin and throat armor to be used in conjunction with the base vest.

Above and below you can see the front and rear of the MultiCam and OD versions of the armor vest although Black versions are also available.

Marine South – Streamlight Super Siege Lantern

April 10th, 2016

When the Siege lantern first came out from Streamlight, I had a chance to try it out and it quickly became a must-have for camping trips. This year, they’ve introduced a new model called the Super Siege by upping the lumens to 1,100 and incorporating an 8800 mAh rechargeable lithium ion battery with USB ports for power in as well as out. You can charge the lamp or use it to power other devices such as cell phones.

 

There are five LEDs (one White and four Red). There are six output modes including Red SOS as well as a battery indicator. The Super Siege also incorporates a “Glare Guard” which can be used to shield up to half of the globe to direct light. There is also a watertight storage compartment in the base.

Available in Coyote or Yellow.

Marine South – Quantico Tactical / Ashbury Precision Ordnance

April 10th, 2016

There were several of DLA’s Special Operations Tailored Logistics Systems vendors at Marine South. Quantico Tactical was one of them, and they also have several retail outlets across the country. They had all kinds of cool stuff in their booth but one of the things I wanted to point out to my readers is that they are offering Ashbury Precision Ordnance‘s line of products. One of these items is the RSTA-II Shooting Tripod Head. 

 

The 1.1 pound RSTA-II Tripod Head allows users to position long guns using the Rapid Control Handle (RCH) which can be set up for either right or left hand control. This versatile tripod head provides a positive locking ±35 degree head that can securely hold a 25+lbs long gun using a 6 o’clock accessory rail grabber, Pig Saddle or APO AnyPoint Bipod/Tripod Mount.
