We’ve mentioned the new Grey Ghost Gear Stealth Operator Pack a couple of times. We’d like to also tell you that it’s available in A-TACS FG and thought we’d share this cool graphic from the folks at Digital Concealment Systems, the creators of A-TACS.
Israeli gear manufacturer Agilite’s signature product, the Tactical Hi-Vest, is now available in A-TACS AU Camo.
The Tactical Hi-Vest can fit up to 12 thirty round M4 magazines and includes a binoculars/night vision goggles tether, a pull strip for storing spare batteries and 7” knife sheath as well as a compass pouch and compartments for storing radio codes, chemlights, a compass, etc.
The Tactical Hi-Vest also integrates with the Agilite Modular Assault Pack (AMAP) (as shown in photos) for an additional 15 liters of load-bearing real estate that attaches/detaches in seconds without the added bulk of an external day pack.
Both TenCate’s FR Defender M fabric as well as the A-TACS family of camouflage patterns from Digital Concealment Systems are familiar to SSD readers. What is new, is that TenCate will be offering Defender M, the standard FR fabric for US ground combat uniforms, in the A-TACS patterns. Currently, the only other camouflage available for sale in Defender M is MultiCam, making this pretty big news. Yes, there are a few national patterns printed on Defender M but they are restricted. Below is their press release.
TenCate Defender M sets the standard for flame-resistant military grade fabric, having been specified by both the United States Army and Marine Corps as the uniform material of choice for its ground troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thanks to its patented technology, TenCate Defender M not only provides exceptional protection from flame and heat, but also offers the level of comfort and durability required in combat uniforms. Now, TenCate and Digital Concealment Systems are proud to announce that both the A-TACS AU and A-TACS FG Camo patterns are available on Defender M fabrics. A-TACS Camo is now available on Tencate Defender M from Tencate. For more information, contact Mr. John Blackmon by email at j.blackmon@tencate.com or TenCate Customer Service by e-mail at: contactus@tencate.com.
Featuring a 5″ barrel with integrated muzzle brake, the MasterPiece Arms 5.7 x 28mm MPA57sst-ATACS integrates a Picatinny rail along the top to mount accessories. It comes stock with a 20 round polymer magazine but most striking is the A-TACS AU dip job.
Warrior Assault Systems will soon be introducing even more kit in the A-TACS FG pattern from Digital Concealment Systems.
The DCS (Dynamic Combat System) in A-TACS AU camo from UK-based Warrior Assault Systems is a lightweight armor carrier, with removable sides that can not only hold hard armor plates but also Nexus soft armor in the both the front and back as well as in the adjustable side pouches.
The DCS is fully adjustable for height and width and comes with 3D Spacer mesh lining for cooling and comfort. Additionally, the DCS is designed to be worn with their Warrior Frag Belt as shown.
