In this week’s Friday Focus, FirstSpear recognizes the men and women of Law Enforcement with this Short Sleeve T-Shirt. In honor of National Police Week, May 15-21, FirstSpear will donate $10 to the National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial Fund for every T-Shirt sold between the 15th and the 21st, including their new TBL shirt, available now.
For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at the Exigent Circumstance Pack. The Exigent Circumstance Pack, or ECP, is an assault pack that can be quickly attached to a vest or worn in stand-alone mode, either as a backpack or single-strap bag. The ECP features a removable beavertail flap, which secures with shock cord and provides enough space to hold a helmet, or a positive air breathing system such as the CV420. The pocket within the exterior flap is sized to hold the Avon M53 Series Protective Mask, and features an elastic daisy chain for flash-bang or smoke grenades. Additionally, the rear-most pocket will hold a 3 liter hydration reservoir or the included comfort pad.

This week, we’d like to remind you that FirstSpear will be displaying at booth 205 at ADS Warrior West at the San Diego Convention Center May 4th – 5th.
They will have some of their latest kit available on display including the AMU Certified Aegir-38. Hope to see you there!
This week, we’ll take a look at one of the first clothing items introduced by FirstSpear, the Other Guy Jacket.
The Other Guy Softshell is now available on the Non-Stocking Non-Standard section. It features two zipped chest pockets, a zippered poacher pocket at the rear with zippered openings on either side and zippered upper arm pockets with Velcro fields. This Coyote color is all that is available.
There is limited sizing and an even fewer number of FR versions of this jacket on the FirstSpear site for sale. These are the original production versions, and once they are gone, they are gone. However, FirstSpear has an updated version of the Other Guy in development right now, so it will return!
In this week’s Friday Focus we’ll show you a rare run of MultiCam versions of their Combat Anorak.
With the same features as their solid color Combat Anoraks, these MultiCam variants are availsble only in their Non-Stocking Non-Standard section of the website.
This limited run was manufactured as prototypes, but FS currently has no plans of putting them into production. So, it’s first-come, first-served.
Sizes are limited. However, unlike the oversized production model, sizes are true. If you wear a Large, order a Large.
FirstSpear will be attending one of their biggest law enforcement shows in the US at the 2016 TTPOA SWAT Conference in San Marcos, TX April 6th-10th. All attendees will receive an official FS/TTPOA draw string bag at sign in, while supplies last.
Stop by FirstSpear booth B22 and check out some of the most advanced land and maritime based plate carriers available to Law Enforcement agencies.

For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at an update on a classic garment, the Combat Anorak. We first featured the Combat Anorak in 2011, when it was part of NFM’s GARM combat clothing line, imported by FirstSpear. Since then, FirstSpear has moved production to the USA, and the Anorak is now made of Nextec epic fabric, which is a highly water-resistant, silicone-encapsulated nylon.
With a classic Anorak cut it is a lightweight garment that is intended to serve as a shell over all of your equipment. Consequently, it is very generously cut and extends down low on the torso with a lower cut on the rear. In fact, generous might be a bit of an understatement; I’m currently able to comfortably wear a small as an overgarment, and I usually wear a large military jacket. Granted, that’s with standard clothing underneath, however even then there’s still some room to layer.
Venting is facilitated via a quarter length zipper from chin to chest as well as a mesh insert integrated into the back flap.
Internal gear is easily accessed by a tug on a pull tab. The half moon opening features two zippers as well as a snap backup to keep the opening securely closed. You grab the tab and pull down. With practice this can be done one-handed.Additionally, there is an access flap on the back of the Combat Anorak for packs or back panels.The hood is large enough to fit over a helmet and features four points of adjustment which are simple to use. Two of the hood adjustments are on the rear. That small flap covers a barrel lock that pulls the lower portion of the back toward the rear.The shoulders are capped with lightweight Cordura and the cuffs are secured via Velcro adjustment to accommodate a wide range of layered garments. Additionally, there are small 1? Velcro squares on both sleeves and the rear of the hood for IR or other ID squares. The Combat Anorak stores inside an integral stuff sack and can easily be carried in a pack or cargo pocket.
Available in Coyote and Urban Discreet, sizes SM – 2XL.
