Battle Systems Vinyl Tape

January 14th, 2012

Battle Systems offers 3/4″ wide Vinyl Tape. It is Coyote and features a matte finish and comes in 60′ rolls. We purchased some awhile back and have been using it around the homestead for a variety of tasks although mainly on gear. We tried to set fire to it but it wouldn’t burn. Conversely, it remained sticky in spite of dousing it with water.

It’s a simple product with a 1000 uses. Best of all, it blends in with your gear. We like it and recommend it. Everyone should have a roll.

It’s Just Not Fair

January 14th, 2012

How ironic that PEO Soldier’s Equipment Piece of the Week, this week, of all weeks is the Soldier Plate Carrier System considering S&S Precision unleashed the Plate Frame on an unsuspecting public just yesterday. I mean, how do they expect anyone to look at it the same way again? It’s just not fair.

RE Factor Reminder Bands

January 13th, 2012

We’re big fans of RE Factor’s morale items, but we’ve never really loved the whole “reminder bracelets” craze…until now. They are offering three different slogans that really say something. In fact, if you’ve hung around SSD, you’ve probably heard at least one of these phrases muttered.

“Speed, Surprise, Violence of Action”
“Don’t F Up”
“Go F Yourself”
