RE Factor Tactical – Delta Trauma Kit
June 16th, 2015RE Factor Tactical designed the new Delta Trauma Kit around the premise of providing space of the the least amount of items needed to provide TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) standard of aid. Input was made by multiple SF 18Ds, Combat Medics and Physician Assitants and Tactical Medical Solutions worked on the pqckaging of the optional kit insert.
The Delta Trauma Kit is accessable using both hands and is made from a stretch material shell that allows the kit to grow if you decide to add additional items beyond what is in the Delta Trauma Kit Components. On the inside of the pouch they included an elastic band to retain the kit components as well as several slots to place needles, pens, NPA’s or other cycindrical objects.
In addition, there is a large plastic window, which allows you to place a 9 Line MEDEVAC or other reference guide. The kit easily removes from its protective sleeve via a one handed pull and pulls apart with the attached red handle. On the outter sheath we included a trauma shear holster on one side and a loop pouch on the other which gives the user the ability to mark it as a trauma kit. Finally we include two elastic loops on top of the kit which allow for a tourniquet to be placed and accessed via both hands.
Features:
Expandable design allows compact fit and additional items beyond what is included in the kit components
Elastic loops allow for various types of tourniquets
Integrated belt loops
Accessable via both hands
Clear window for quick reference guides
Integrated trauma shear holster

Morgan Advanced Materials And Tyr Tactical Announce Armor System Passes NIJ Level III Certification Testing Requirements
June 16th, 2015Morgan Advanced Materials has recently announced that their hard armor system, in conjunction with Tyr Tactical’s soft armor system, has passed the NIJ 0101.06 Level III certification standards. The full release can be read below:
Morgan Advanced Materials hard armor, in-conjunction with Tyr Tactical’s soft armor system, has successfully passed the ballistic, durability, and environmental requirements of the NIJ 0101.06 Level III certification process. Full NIJ certification is pending, with completion expected this summer. With a 10-inch x 12-inch plate weighing 2 pounds and just over ¾-inch thick, the modular and scalable system provides substantial weight and thickness advantages over stand-alone plates.
The system consists of a Lightweight Buoyant LWBIII+ rifle plate developed by Morgan’s Composites and Defence Systems business with Tyr Tactical’s T52/SP or T54/C soft armor. In addition to the NIJ Level III threat, the Level III+ system is capable of stopping a variety of rifle threats, including 7.62 millimeter (mm) ball rounds, 7.62mm mild steel core (AK47) rounds and 5.56mm ball rounds (M193 and LE223T3).
The ultra-lightweight, high performance hard plate insert which is manufactured from the latest generation durable composite technology is extremely hard wearing and designed specifically for the rugged environments faced by military and security personnel. The products are available to law enforcement, security, and military/defense customers.
The rifle plates, soft armor, and full system are available in the US through Tyr Tactical’s facility in Peoria, Arizona. It is available in Canada through Millbrook Tactical, located in Stittsville, Ontario.

Sneak Peek – LBT Jungle Pack
June 16th, 2015Although it isn’t your run of the mill LE item, we had a chance to check the LBT Jungle Pack out at the ADS Inc federal range day.
It offers 2500 Cu In of internal storage with an internal frame (CASS) and removable lid (200 cu in) with mesh topped pocket. They’ve built a couple of different variants of the Jungie Pack that they’ve been supplying to operational forces which vary based on materials used and frame type. For instance, there are some ALICE frame models running around. This one, with the CASS frame (developed initially for body armor) weighs in right at 4 lbs.
This model is made from 330D Cordura and has a LiteLok expandable collar. All of the pack bags feature a flat, full length zipped compartment along the back of the bag but other than that, they are slick on the outside to make it easier to maneuver through thick brush.
