March 11th, 2016LBT Expands Doug’s Trench, More Opportunities For Custom Colors
March 11th, 2016LBT Inc is expanding their Doug’s Trench program to allow customers to choose the colorways of existing products. It’s not a full custom shop but rather an opportunity to “make it yours”.
LBT will review concepts weekly and contact submitters. Custom fabrics must be available and minimums will apply but will vary depending on the project. However, I know they’ve done runs with minimums as small as 25 to 50 so crowdfunding with your buddies is important in order to make it happen.

Dutch SF Wearing Fibrotex Fightex Uniforms for Mali Deployment
March 11th, 2016During Enforce Tac we shared a few photos of signature management products by Fibrotex. The uniform used in conjunction with the ghillie suit is an FR garment issued to Dutch SF in their new digital pattern.
Offered in the Netherlands by Profile Equipment, these garments are intended for wear in hot weather and the proprietary fabric is treated with Permethrin as well as being FR.
The ripstop weave fabric is a blend of four different fibers. Additionally, stress points and slotted buttons are bartacked and they’ve incorporated wide belt loops for duty belts as well as height adjustable kneepads in addition to easily removable labels and washing instructions to prevent irritation.

Mystery Ranch – RFAK Is Now Available
March 11th, 2016If you’re like me, you’re asking yourself, “what is in RFAK?” Turns out, the answer is simpler than I thought.
The new Removable First Aid Kit (RFAK) replaces the MR IFAK and was created at the request of a rather well known guy out of Camp Lejeuene. It’s named Removable because it incorporates an insert which holds the medical items and can be removed from the pouch.
Inside the RFAK, the medical contents are contained in an expandable bundle with elastic webbing and held to the pouch with velcro. The outside container is essentially a durable shell for the contents. A pull of the handle allows quick, one-handed access to all the contents. This allows for easier and quicker self-aid or handing off to a buddy.
Available Coyote, OD and MultiCam, the RFAK is available from www.mysteryranch.com/RFAK.
FirstSpear Friday Focus – Bullfrog
March 11th, 2016For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at the FS Bullfrog.
The Bullfrog is one of the latest in FirstSpear’s line of user driven Maritime Plate Carriers, designed to fill the role of a passive/slightly positive approach for a Maritime Carrier, as requested by select FirstSpear end users. In that regard, the Bullfrog utilizes a unique foam insert that has been environmentally sealed in a watertight nylon laminate; the foams have been constructed in specific layers and densities so that the maximum amount of flexibility with the lowest possible amount of bulk is achieved.
The Bullfrog also utilizes the FS standard Buoyancy Compensators in the front and rear, which provide 5 lbs. of lift each, and is also adaptable to the belt mounted TFSS Flotation system, or various Flotation Collars. The Bullfrog is best paired with either FS’ Neutrally Buoyant Ballistic Plate, or the FS Patrol Plate.
Currently available in Coyote, in either Medium or Large SAPI plate cut.

FirstSpear also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the Skid Plate. The Skid Plate is an accessory designed for SAPI Plate Carriers, used for long-term high abrasion-resistant protection for plate carriers exposed to the abuse from caving ladders and other cable assist climbing implements. Despite the appearance and feel of the high tenacity fibers used in the construction of the Skid Plate, it is not ballistic. It’s also only available in black.
