BLOCS Shoulder Hydration Harness – TAP

February 14th, 2012

SOTech has taken the shoulder straps from their popular Falcon Chest Rig designed for the 325 Airborne Infantry Regiment and modified them to adapt to the Army and Marine Corps issue Tactical Assault Panel or TAP. It’s a great accessory because troops are starting to use their TAP without armor but the issue shoulder strap accessory is narrow and can be uncomfortable.

This is what SOTech had to say:
“Responding to requests from soldiers in the field, SOTECH has modified the shoulder harness/hydration pack from it’s Falcon rig to clip onto the Tactical Assault Panel. Troops in the field needed a standalone chest rig and found the thin straps that came with the TAP to be cutting into their shoulders. SOTECH’s Falcon harness has 3 inch wide shoulder straps. Basically a modification of part of SOTECH’s Battle Load Carry System, this custom modification will be called the BLOCS Shoulder Hydration Harness – TAP (BSHH-TAP), and is available for unit purchase and on SOTECH’s website as a COTS solution. Versions of the harness will also be available with padded shoulders and with or without the hydration pack upon special request for unit orders.”

NavExFor 2012 Is Coming – Don’t Miss The Boat

February 14th, 2012

Now in its sixth year, NavExFor is one of our favorite tradeshows for a couple of reasons. For one thing, it is the only event focused specifically on Naval Expeditionary Forces. Additionally, Lodestar Group who puts the show on, always makes sure to lay on some great guest speakers. Each year they have a theme and this year’s is “Innovation in Constrained Environments” which can mean a lot of things but I think we’ll see a lot on doing more with what we have both in the form of forces and gear. I know they are also going to be taking a look at power programs.

Finally, we love this show because it’s right here in our backyard and very close to Joint Base Little Creek Ft Story, home of Navy Expeditionary Combat Command.

Make sure you plan to attend NavExFor 2012, March 13-14, 2012 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Virginia Beach, VA. Register now.
