FirstSpear Friday Focus – Bullfrog

Friday, March 11th, 2016

For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at the FS Bullfrog.

Bullfrog_Back

The Bullfrog is one of the latest in FirstSpear’s line of user driven Maritime Plate Carriers, designed to fill the role of a passive/slightly positive approach for a Maritime Carrier, as requested by select FirstSpear end users. In that regard, the Bullfrog utilizes a unique foam insert that has been environmentally sealed in a watertight nylon laminate; the foams have been constructed in specific layers and densities so that the maximum amount of flexibility with the lowest possible amount of bulk is achieved.

BouyancyCompensators

The Bullfrog also utilizes the FS standard Buoyancy Compensators in the front and rear, which provide 5 lbs. of lift each, and is also adaptable to the belt mounted TFSS Flotation system, or various Flotation Collars. The Bullfrog is best paired with either FS’ Neutrally Buoyant Ballistic Plate, or the FS Patrol Plate.

SealedFlotationInserts

Currently available in Coyote, in either Medium or Large SAPI plate cut.

Skidplate

FirstSpear also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the Skid Plate. The Skid Plate is an accessory designed for SAPI Plate Carriers, used for long-term high abrasion-resistant protection for plate carriers exposed to the abuse from caving ladders and other cable assist climbing implements. Despite the appearance and feel of the high tenacity fibers used in the construction of the Skid Plate, it is not ballistic. It’s also only available in black.

For this week’s Friday Focus, FirstSpear is announcing the availability of the long awaited Manatee Grey colorway for the Wind Cheater shell. 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.
