Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

With over 25 years of experience making and using tactical gear, including military service, parachute rigging, and working full time in the tactical gear industry, UW Gear brings a lot to the table. Now, they’ve added A-TACS AU and A-TACS FG Camo to their repertoire.

THE AR or AK MINUTEMAN

The chest rig is designed to carry 3 x 30-rd mags, plus additional gear as required. The mag pouches are tailored specifically to snuggly fit the curvature of the magazine on both AR and AK platforms. Both styles also feature UW Gear’s Fas Tab closure system for easy one-handed access to your mags as well as PALS webbing on the sides for adding additional gear or pouches and a dump pouch on the back for reloading with retention, which can also be used as an admin pouch. The shoulder harness was designed to comfortably carry the load, and is designed to be worn either with or without an armor carrier. It’s fully adjustable to fit most sizes in either high or low carry styles. It is also designed to accommodate a hydro bladder pouch or small assault pack on the back, which nicely balances the load.

THE AR or AK BANDOLEER

Like the Minuteman RIG, the UW Gear Bandoleer rig also comes in several versions; 5.56 NATO for the AR platform, and AK options in 5.45mm as well as 7.62mm.

Warrior Assault Systems’ DCS DA Plate Carrier Available in A-TACS FG

Monday, October 15th, 2012

UK-based Warrior Assault Systems has introduced their DCS (Dynamic Combat System) in A-TACS FG Camo. Warrior Assault Systems claims that the design was developed with “direct input from active S.F. Operators” and is “suitable for both Special Forces requirements, and PSD Operations”. Fair enough. The DCS accommodates large plates front and back and has the ability to carry either “6 x 6? or “6 x 8? side plates. It is also designed to accept NEXUS NIJ Level 3a Front and Back. Additionally, there is room for ICW side plates.

The shoulders are fully adjustable and have an Emergency Release on one side which frees the left hand side shoulder section and allows the wearer to remove the vest without having to remove his helmet. The side sections of the DCS are fully adjustable for size and can be adjusted in under 15 seconds. 3D Spacer Mesh lining is used for comfort and allows body heat to move away from the bodies surface while assisting in air flow to provide cooling.

The DCS was developed to be worn in tandem with their Warrior Frag Belt and comes standard with 5 x Open Mag pouches for 5.56mm Mags as well as 2 x Small Utility / Medic Pouch.
