CTOMS – Turtle’s Harness

February 21st, 2014

The Turtle’s Harness from CTOMS is a MOLLE plate carrier integrated chest harness system that creates a mid-chest attachment point for hoisting and high angle work. Fully compatible with the CTOMS M-Harness, the Turtle’s Harness raises the attachment point, significantly mitigating the potential of inverting, especially when wearing a heavy pack. It’s designed so that it integrates behind any pouches on the plate carrier, so as to not impede access or disrupt and/or crush contents such as radios and ammunition.

Available in Black and Coyote Brown.

Sneak Peek – RMJ Tactical/Bawidamnn Ragnorak Hawk

February 20th, 2014

RMJ Tactical is teaming up with Bawidmann to present the “RAGNAROK” hawk which will be offered in both 12″ and 14″ versions. According to Bawidamann Blades, they’ve always been and always will be ardent RMJ TACTICAL Tomahawk fanboys and customers. Over the years they’ve have gone from fanboys to peers to friends and without Ryan Johnson there would be no PUP system. He machined the first kydex versions out gratis, to help Andrew get them off the ground when he had no start up capital. Bawidamann went on to say this about Ryan, “He is a Fine American and one hell of a designer/engineer. He makes the finest Hawk in the world in my opinion and we were super flattered that he wanted to collaborate with us to make some small, light, designer axes that are well…badass.”

More On The Perseus ExoSkeleton Concept

February 20th, 2014

We recently published a brochure for the Perseus ExoSkeleton by concept artist Francis Goeltner. It was more art than science but that didn’t stop it from becoming quite popular with our readers. Since then Goeltner has released several new renderings of the conceptual Perseus which will give you a better look at what he is going after.

Once again, thanks to artist Ben Mauro for the tip!
