FirstSpear Friday Focus – Fight Strap

Friday, September 2nd, 2016

I really like the FirstSpear Fight Strap. Its utility became immediately evident when I saw a friend storing a fully loaded Fight Strap in his rifle bag. It was a very low profile, yet fully functional way to carry magazines and it fit perfectly when kept right with the rifle. If he had to just grab one bag, he would have everything he needed right there.

Granted, the Fight Strap is more bandoleer than chest rig, with its single shoulder and waist straps, but it will do in a pinch and is a great way to resupply others who don’t necessarily have dedicated load carrying systems. I’ve even gotten to where I keep one in a rifle case as well; just in case.

The Fight Strap is also designed to be used as a dedicated component in several of FirstSpear’s storage and transport bags.

Fight Straps are available in a wide range of magazine options, including: 5.56, 7.62, AK-47, MP5, UMP, P90 as well as a modular model you can configure any way you wish. In fact, the Modular version has been pretty popular with units, departments, and agencies.

Offered in Black, Khaki, Coyote, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.

Order one this weekend and get a FREE FirstSpear Logo Hat.

Plus, it’s available in some non-tactical, yet muted colors, so you don’t stick out one way or the other.

16” wide
11.5” deep at the top 12.5” deep at the bottom

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Ranger Green Wind Cheater Now Available For Pre-Order

Friday, August 19th, 2016

For this week’s Friday Focus, FirstSpear is announcing a pre-order on the new Ranger Green Wind Cheater. The new Ranger Green Wind Cheaters will ship out next Friday.

Additionally, Manatee Grey Wind Cheaters are back in stock.

The Wind Cheater is a durable yet breathable lightweight shell made with Duro Ambush with DWR treatment, which provides protection from light precipitation. The Wind Cheater also compresses well for storage, and is flexible, with a longer tail that will keep the wearer’s lower back and seat covered.

The Wind Cheater sports a number of features that benefit the overall functionality of the shell. The articulated hood is sized to fit over a helmet, and includes rear bungee retention, which allows the wearer to adjust it to their optimal size. Both sleeves feature zippered bicep pockets, FS’ low-profile Velcro attachment panels, and adjustable cuffs. Pit zips on either side of the Wind Cheater offer improved airflow and ventilation at the user’s discretion. The Wind Cheater also has two large-sized zippered torso pockets.

Previously only available via pre-order, the Forager Cap is now in stock in both Ranger Green and Manatee Grey which joins Coyote, Black and MultiCam.

The Forager Cap has a slightly longer brim than other caps which gives extra shade and has a preformed fold in that makes storing it in your pocket flat and easy.

Additionally, eye glass channels on the front and back keep your eye pro in place.

Ventilation, and wicking properties with the ultra light weight mesh liner and a generous amount of adjustment on the back hook strap coupled with a small amount of stretch make for a great comfortable fit.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Overlap Cummerbund

Friday, July 22nd, 2016

This week we are going to give you an update on a great FirstSpear product, the Overlap Cummerbund. Its rapid adoption among State and Federal Law Enforcement agencies along with positive customer feedback has pushed FirstSpear to incorporate the Overlap Cummerbund as the new standard cummerbund on flagship plate carriers like the Strandhögg and Assaulter Armor Carrier.

Originally, developed at the request of a FS Professional User, the Overlap Cummerbund is designed to provide additional overlapping soft armor at the front side of the plate carrier where the Tubes closure system meets. The additional soft armor tucks in behind the Tubes allowing full opening and closing of the vest.

The Overlap Cummerbund has been modified so that the body side allows for the attachment of Ragnar Pockets. This means that magazines and other items can be held in close to the body, providing a more streamlined silhouette, a benefit to users who are working in or from a vehicle, conducting tubular assaults, or who simply wish to carry more magazines than a traditional front loading carrier would allow.

Features:
-Soft armor inserts extend behind the tube and overlap the body of the plate carrier, while still allowing full functionality of the Tube system.
-Body side of cummerbund now has loop allowing you to attach pockets from the Ragnar Pocket Suite (our full Velcro backed pockets)
-The back bungee cord has been replaced with Velcro and stretch material.
