This is some very interesting news we’ve been chomping at the bit to share with you.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Line of Fire Partners with Dom Raso of Dynamis Alliance

Huntington Beach, CA / August 12, 2015 – Line of Fire, a premier manufacturer of top quality military/ law enforcement gloves and apparel, has partnered with Dynamis Alliance and its team of former operators to design and build high quality, innovative gear for tier one warriors.

After twelve years of service as a Navy SEAL, Dom Raso wanted a way to continue to help protect the future, safety, and freedom of our country and its allies. Dynamis Alliance was born in 2013. Dom knew that there were many likeminded people throughout the world looking to increase their safety and security of their families. His solution was to build a team to provide the best gear and training available. Line of Fire is proud to be working with this team.

“Given the years of military experience served by the Dynamis crew and my prior relationship with Dom, it was a natural and inevitable partnership. Line of Fire as a brand seeks to align with real, high-level operators, and we are excited to be doing that with this partnership,” said Brian Miller, Founder and COO at Line of Fire.

Together, Line of Fire and Dynamis have already been working on some gamechanging gear, most notably the ROPER glove, a glove that turns any operational glove into a fast rope glove, while allowing for a free trigger finger. Ideas like this and (others that cannot yet be mentioned) are what this partnership is all about.

The certified experience of Dynamis combined with the unique manufacturing capabilities of Line of Fire will certainly produce some effective gear. Line of Fire’s high quality glove line and unique grip system go hand in hand with the high quality expectations of the most elite operators. This partnership will continue that trend. Dynamis Alliance’s simple, very real motto, — “Quality training, gear, and preparation can make the difference between life and death.”

Retailers interested in offering Line of Fire and/or Dynamis Alliance products may contact Line of Fire at sales@loftactical.com and/or intel@dynamisalliance.com. Products and information can also be found at www.loftactical.com and/or www.dynamisalliance.com.

Guest Review – Whiskey Two-Four Ultralight 8×3 Split Panel

August 12th, 2015

Recently released from Whiskey Two-Four is their Ultralight 8×3 Split Panel chest rig. Like previous rigs the Split Panel is laser-cut from a sheet of Hypalon and loops are stitched along the edges. These loops are the perfect place to attach the buckles of their improved Universal Chest Rig Harness or to simply tie it down to the outside of a pack. Like many chest rigs on the market it will buckle perfectly into plate carriers and other vests with buckles on the chest and the addition of a Velocity Systems Swift Clip kit makes for a perfect way to retain the sides. The rig itself weighs nearly nothing, is ultra-strong, and will not hold water; all properties drawn from the use of Hypalon.

Mixing and matching your favorite pouches makes for endless rig combinations, as well as breathing new life into old disused pouches. Each side of the panel gives you 4 vertical columns and 3 horizontal rows to work with and is joined by two 1″ buckles. The ability to run a slick carrier and quickly switch load carriage by mission profile or personal preference makes WTF’s platforms a strong, light and compact solution. I’ve found the Split-front to be an especially awesome addition to the straps of a Grey Ghost Gear Lightweight Assault Pack or Haley Strategic D3 Flat Pack as a way to add additional storage up front where it counts.

The Whiskey Two-Four Ultralight 8×3 Split Panel retails for $38.43 and the Universal Harness will set you back $45.

These items, additional chest rigs, and the many custom items you have in your mind are available via www.wtfidea.com.

Hi, my name is Eric and I’m an addict; a tigerstripe addict.

These don’t come cheap so I’ll just have to round up some of that shill money the government crony commandos keep claim I’m taking, so I can afford a pair.

Armour Wear Introduces The Special Purpose/Application Releasable Carrier (SPARC)

August 11th, 2015

This is the latest presser from Armour Wear.

Armour Wear’s SPARC system meets Warfighter’s needs

Aug, 11th 2015: Armour Wear, the leader in protective armor innovation has officially announced its newest revolutionary product; The Special Purpose/ Application Releasable Carrier (SPARC). The SPARC plate carrier is a fully adjustable and releasable, hard use carrier that will accommodate standard 10in X 12in hard plates, along with soft armor liners. This unique plate carrier uses a proprietary Quick Release Buckle (QRB) system which allows the user to doff the carrier in less than one second. This is essential for users in maritime operations, or in the field that have been injured and require immediate emergency attention. The SPARC comes apart into two separate pieces when the QRB latch is activated, when you are ready to put the carrier together just snap the buckles into each other. “It’s as easy as snapping a duty belt in together” says Robert Scott (Owner-Armour Wear).

The SPARC was created in cooperation with the U.S. military and their recent directive for a new weight distribution plate carrier system. This plate carriers intended purpose was perfect balance, and weight distribution for the ground operator. Armour Wear will be the first to offer this technology to the industry, they will be offering this system to the Military, Law Enforcement, and Civilian markets. This system has three main components; the spinal support brace, battle belt system, and plate carrier. The battle belt and support brace are still under development, but the carrier is ready to go. Armour Wear saw the need to bring this product out first. With the addition of the QRB, an operator can click the buckles back together in a snap, and have a working carrier in seconds. Armour Wear also saw the opportunity to delete the use of any Velcro on the main access points of the carrier, instead the QRB doubles as the carriers retention buckles. Always having the consumer in mind, Armour Wear has the SPARC rated at a $295.95 MSRP.
