T.H.E. Wallet JR

September 5th, 2009

T.H.E. Wallet J.R. from Spec Ops Brand is a sturdy, useful, and compact replacement for any wallet. Made from super-durable 1000D Cordura with a nylon pack cloth lining, it comes with inside and outside ID windows, four credit card slots and a zippered coin pocket. In addition, the full length compartments for cash and receipts can be zipped closed, forming a hidden pocket. The “SHARK-BITE” ultra secure closure allows for the wallet to stay securely shut without fasteners, buckles or snaps that wear out and can make noise. The wallet also allows for three carrying options: in a pocket, around the neck, or belt-mounted. The “JR” stands for Just Right. I have been using one for a year now and I love it. I threw my leather wallet out as soon as I got it and haven’t looked back.

Offered in Coyote, Black, and UCP, T.H.E. Wallet JR is Berry Compliant and available from Extreme Outfitters.

Vltor SM-OCG Light Mount on a Helmet

September 4th, 2009

Vltor’s unique low-profile light mount can be attached to a Ops-Core Accessory Rail Connector (ARC) via the Mil-Std 1913 adapter. ARCs are available in two styles; one is a component of the FAST family of helmets and the other is designed for the ACH and available directly from Ops-Core or MSA.

Vltor’s Scout Mount – Offset Classic G-series mount has been around for a couple of years but now that the ARC rails are seeing wider use we thought it was a good idea to remind our readers about this option.

Army Combat Pants Update

September 2nd, 2009

We recently mentioned that the Army is working to pair the Army Combat Shirt with a Pant. A successful Limited User Evaluation earlier this year is going to be followed up with a rather extensive Field Trial in Afghanistan early next year.

Yes, they look mysteriously like Crye knee pads.

While there is still no formal requirement for the ACP, newly revealed plans include integrating the trouser’s special features into the ACU. Naturally, by extension, any changes made to the ACU will also be made to the FR-ACU. So, perhaps by 2011 we could begin to see the ACU transform once again into an even more combat focused uniform. What will be interesting to see is if it can survive peacetime.
