Monkeying around with Maxpedition’s Morgan Fay McClung. #KCRF
Sure, morale patches are intended to entertain, but as art. The Tangram from Maxpedition on the other hand, can entertain because you can reconfigure its 7 Hook-backed geometric pieces into a variety of shapes. I guess you could call it the first modular morale patch.
For example, you could make a cat. But the variations or myriad.
The Tangram puzzle originated in China and is used to stimulate thinking. Here are a few more examples of shapes.
Made from PVC rubber and offered in Arid or SWAT colors.
Maxpedition has introduced a Made in USA retractable gear tether with stainless steel spring, subdued hardware, and durable lightweight Kevlar cord. They have several attachment styles and retraction forces. There is a carabiner option for a secure connection and quick disconnect, or a Hook-&-Loop strap option that secures to D-rings, straps, bars, etc. either are available in two sizes; large and medium, with the large retractors having a locking mechanism to secure the strap in place.
Sometimes the simplest things catch our eye and the Tactical Luggage Lock from Maxpedition we spied at this year’s SHOT Show is no exception.
Available in Black, Khaki and Foliage Green, it is a 3-Dial combination TSA lock. This means it is good to go for air travel in the US and UK.
One of our readers gave us a heads up on this one. Maxpedition products are available on the Walmart website. This is the first time we have seen a brand founded in the tactical arena make it over into mainstream sales but it probably couldn’t have happened with most of the nylon gear in our industry as the cost of Berry compliance is too high for the major discount chains. Walmart.com lists 65 Maxpedition products but we haven’t run across any of them in stores yet.
One of our eagle eyed readers spotted the Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger on the back of the character “Arthur” played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the zero-gravity hotel scene of “INCEPTION” the #1 movie in America.
