SOMA – MATBOCK
Monday, December 16th, 2013MATBOCK has introduced the new R-LIFT Rigid Litter System. Weighing in at just 6.5 lbs, it shares the same collapsible carbon fiber poles as the S-LIFT and is designed for vertical extraction.
Built to carry up to 400 lbs, it incorporates an inflatable head stabilization bladder as well as webbing patient restraints. The R-LIFT’s body is made from neoprene impregnated nylon that has been dye cut for maritime use as well as weight savings. This component has been reinforced with 6 hinged, composite bars. Additionally, the foot of the litter integrates a rapidly deplorable space blanket to keep patients warm.
All of this collapses down to fit into this spiffy pack. Since it’s only the size of a laptop, it can obviously be carried in other packs as well.

MATBOCK Celebrates 2nd Anniversary
Tuesday, November 5th, 2013MATBOCK has been featured several times here on SSD, but if you are still not familiar, it is a company founded by two SOF Veterans with experience in some nasty places around the world. Their slogan “Lighter Faster Warriors” is embodied in everything they design as they seek out truly innovative methods of solving problems, both old and new, presented in tactical operations.
From their flagship Night Vision Auto-Focus Enhancement device the Tarsier Eclipse to their first products, the Constrictor Cargo Net System and Tree-Go IZLID Pouch, MATBOCK continues to push the bounds of traditional product development and problem solving. They leverage their SOF experience across the globe and work with former teammates and partners to bring innovation to market to benefit the warfighter.
In November MATBOCK celebrates their second anniversary and is planning several give-aways once reaching 2K “Likes” on Facebook. In the mean time, they are steadily handing out swag to their supporters. Below is the official press release announcing their two year anniversary and you can find more info about the company at www.matbock.com and Facebook.
Special Forces Veterans Use Innovation and Experience to Bring Unique and Effective Gear to the Military
Summary: Two SOF Veterans see huge growth in their small business by innovating new gear to help operators and civilians fight smarter, save lives quicker and turn opportunity into victory.
MATBOCK, a debt free, service-disable veteran owned and operated small business launched a unique product line of tactical gear in November 2011. Since it’s inception, MATBOCK has seen consistent growth and positioning in the marketplace. As an independently owned, service disabled veteran operated company, MATBOCK uses innovation and experience to build specialized gear to give military, law enforcement, and even civilians products that offer maximum advantages in multiple situations.
With 18 years of combined Special Forces experience, the backbone of MATBOCK is two professionals who work 365 days out of the year. “Our warriors deploy without any days off and we will be here to answer their needs all day every day.” said Sean Co-Founder & CEO of MATBOCK. “We understand the need to be not only innovative, but also provide our customers the best products and have them available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”
2013 has been a successful 2nd year in business for MATBOCK as 4 new products were introduced to the marketplace and each have quickly become appreciated as necessary items amongst elite Special Forces and other operators. Boasting over 2000% growth heading into 2014, MATBOCK has a list of products to introduce in 2014, proving their stability and commitment to excellence and innovation.
Starting with the launch of the Tree-Go IZLID Pouch and ending 2013 with the launch of the long awaited Tarsier Eclipse, MATBOCK has received great praise throughout all markets about the diversity, quality and innovativeness of their product line. For example, with MATBOCK’s S-LIFT, Police Officers in urban areas are now empowered to succeed in mass casualty situations. Black bear hunters in the Northeast are using the S-LIFT and Combat Carbon Poles to pack out their big game. Lastly, our combat warriors overseas are using the S-LIFT to rescue and evacuate wounded every single day. “Our goal from day one was to bring something new to our military personnel and heroes around the world. With each new product we introduce, we want to look at every aspect and make sure nothing goes unquestioned. Ounces equal pounds and we will make sure that every ounce has a purpose for the operator” says Zach, Co-Founder and COO of MATBOCK “we know what it feels like to carry wasted pounds or single use gear. We want to change that with every product we introduce”.
