Blue Force Gear Has Got The Answer To A Broken Heart

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Blue Force Gear sent us this cool promo for Valentine’s Day.

Are you expecting your Valentine’s Day to be especially traumatic? Have you been stabbed in the back or your heart ripped out? If so, you need a Blue Force Gear® Trauma Kit NOW!™ to aid those who may be suffering or plan to (as we all have at some point….) we’re offering our legendary Trauma Kit NOW!™complete with our standard trauma supplies for a ridiculous $70! Normally retailing for $115, were clearing the shelves for the revolutionary Helium Whisper™ products expected in next week.

Get yours here and enter this PROMO Code VDAYTKN6 at the checkout and you’ll see the discount taken off your total. We first released this sale earlier this week through our email newsletter so if you want to be first on the list, sign up on our website!

In all seriousness, we have gotten quite a few accounts of how these kits have literally saved lives downrange. That is why we are in this business. Though common in the military, it is frightening how little importance professional and recreational folk here at home place on emergency trauma first aid. In our view, the Trauma Kit NOW!â„¢ is something everyone from the work commuter to the zombie apocalypse survivor should have. A good trauma kit will at least keep you in the fight and could end up saving your life.

SHOT 2012 Followup: Blue Force Gear – Helium Whisper Spent Mag Pouch

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

There’s been a lot of talk about the Helium Whisper attachment system (covered by Soldier Systems when it first came out) from Blue Force Gear. From an initial review, it really does appear to be as strong as it sounds (and it’s damn sure lighter than traditional nylon). I pulled, twisted and jerked at the backing I had and was surprised by just how resilient it was. They have video of someone doing chin-ups and pull-ups from some of this material (which we’ll post once they send it to us). I wouldn’t recommend it based on just that sort of evaluation but it’s certainly a promising start. We’ll have to see how it holds up long-term.

Helium Whisper is a very thin laminate backer that is both tear and abrasion resistant, that BFG advises actually outperformed 1000D Cordura. As you might expect, it’s extremely lightweight.

Here’s an example of how Helium Whisper stacks up to more standard pouches:

They’ve got a number of modular pouches and pieces in the Helium Whisper line, but one thing I was really impressed by was the spent mag pouch (dump pouch). This thing was itty bitty and weighed practically nothing. One quick tug, though, and it deploys into a simple but effective dump pouch. Very nice indeed, and one of the pieces from SHOT I will definitely be buying.

The entire BFG catalog is on line if you want to check it out.
