S.O. Tech was recently asked by parts of the Chaplain’s Corps to modify their popular Mission Go Bag for the purpose of carrying the Chaplain’s kit, which included the removal of the hook panel directly above the front zippered compartment, replaced with the embroidered ‘Chaplain’s Kit’.
Joe Teti, Veteran and star of the Discovery Channel hit series ‘Dual Survival’ will be on hand signing autographs with USM4 at S.O.TECH’s Booth #20113 on Jan 14th.
See an introduction to Dual Survival with Joe and visit him on Facebook.
In this photo from S.O. Tech we see all three Brookwood patterns from their finalist family of patterns for the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort. They promise some finished goods in these patterns during SHOT Show.
The new Survival Sling from S.O Tech is a multipurpose item that does 4 things. It’s a 4000 lbs breaking strength strap that can be used as a 2-PT rifle sling. It can also be used as a load carriage and drag strap as well as an extraction harness. To me, the most interesting use is to carry litters, offering a hand free solution for litter bearers.
In a pinch, it can also be used as a belt or combined with other Survival Slings to make a longer rope.
Look for this for sale before SHOT Show.
S.O. Tech has launched the new Basic Issue Line. The premise behind the Basic Issue Line is to offer a barebones design approach: Simple, Strong, Economical, and US Made. It’s inexpensive and designed to wear like iron in a similar to the gear you were issued in basic training. It’s not fancy but it gets the job done. The current run of the Basic Issue Line consists of three products: the Duty Go Bag, Cheetah Sling, and Jaguar Sling.
Duty Go Bag
The Duty Go Bag is a quick grab n’ go bag satchel, ideal for med kit, active shooter, and range use. Similar to the classic MGB in size, the DGB features a large main compartment, two large pockets for organization, one long slash pocket for documents or similar items, and a removable foam insert. The 2″ wide shoulder strap is full adjustable, and a 2″ x 4″ Velcro field allows for an ID or morale patch. Made from 500D Cordura nylon.

Cheetah 2 Point Sling
The Cheetah 2-point sling easily mounts to an attachment swivel. A reinforced Tri-Glide clip allows for quick adjustments on the fly: tighten to prevent bounce and shift and loosen for ease of movement when aiming. Made from 1″ wide webbing and polymer.
Jaguar Single Point Sling
The Jaguar Single Point Sling attaches to any weapon with a sling swivel or hook via a heavy duty HK Hook Clip. It’s fully adjustable and features an elastic bungie. Made from 1″ wide webbing, polymer, and elastic.
S.O. Tech will be debuting their new FLEX Tab Lite at the 2013 Maneuver Conference, held at Fort Benning, Georgia. They can be found at booth #143.
Stars and Stripes recently published an article on James Cragg, president and CEO of S.O. Tech. It details how Cragg and his company found inspiration in Civil War-era equipment such as Union Army Captain Anson Mills’ woven cartridge belt and cavalrymen’s saddlebags when designing their gear. Cragg, having two years ago attended attended the US Cavalry School in Montana to study the gear of the Indian Wars period, and this year attended the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, has a firm understanding of the equipment of the era and how mistakes and innovations made then can be learned from to create better gear for the present.
