We’re happy to present the return of S&S Precision’s Maker Monday. This time, we’ll give you a tease of the Manta Strobe which has received some really cool updates. This year also marks an important milestone for S&S Precision as they celebrate their 10 year anniversary.
One of the first products developed at S&S Precision was the Manta Strobe. This year, they’re bringing you new features and enhanced functionality. More to follow.
In celebration of Independence Day, we’re releasing a limited edition IFM CAM. This tool-less mounting system provides a low profile offset flashlight body for select SureFire 3v components. Featuring a streamlined cam lever and tension dial, the IFM CAM delivers a touch of simplicity that is long overdue.
S&S Precision is offering special combo pack for Memorial Day. The sale will run until Tuesday May 31st only.

Despite being a 1960s era weapon system, the M72 LAAW remains a trusted and highly effective weapon for use against armored vehicles, buildings, and bunkers. S&S designed the LAAW Clip to securely carry a LAAW on the operator’s kit while allowing it to be rapidly accessed and deployed.
New from S&S the Flip Mod is a development of their NAVBOARD allows easy access to a smartphone, compass, and an altimeter or small GPS during parachute operations.
For this last Maker Monday, S&S Precision is showing their 2016 product catalog. Click the link above to view the catalog.
Conducting nighttime parachute operations is serious business, even for the best. The NavBoard series is purposely built for in-flight navigation, giving you what you need when you need it. They are designed to conveniently mount to the front of an armor carrier or parachute harness for easy access. With multiple options, there is a NavBoardT for everyone.
Below, you can view a video which serves as an overview of the NavBoard Series:
For this week’s Maker Monday, we’re running a piece by S&S Precision on their recommended Maritime Kit based on their product line.
We often hear, “What should I include in my maritime kit?” Here’s an overview of what we recommend for maritime or other potentially hazardous high moisture environments.
PlateFrame
The PlateFrame is a rigid minimalistic plate carrier unlike any other on the market. Designed to be strong and light weight, the PlateFrame is deceptively modular and scalable to meet operational requirements. (Patents Pending)
Weight: 1 lb 6 oz
Release System
This intuitive design is a single pull release from any direction with the user’s dominant or non-dominant hand detaching the shoulder strap and cummerbund in an instant. The PlateFrame Release System is retrofitted to any S&S Precision PlateFrame and can be installed on the left and/or right hand side depending on user preference.
Closed Cell Floatation
The closed cell floatation system is made from closed cell foam and serves to counter the weight of a ballistic plate for neutral buoyancy. The floatation system is capable of neutralizing up to 5 lbs per plate, 10 lbs per set.
Cummerbund Adapter
The Cummerbund Adapter is a modular attachment platform for use with S&S Precision’s minimalist PlateFrame. Designed for reinforced strength and modularity, it attaches via simple buckles for reliability.
The cummerbund’s inner webbing provides additional space for PALS/Webbing accessories. Finally, it’s made from a water resistant material for use in maritime or other high moisture environments.
Additional Cummerbund Adapters available: Cummerbund Adapter with Flap, & Cummerbund Adapter with Flap and Radio
Pouch
Magazine Pouches
ELOS 5.56
The ELOS 5.56, is a flexible magazine holder providing maximum magazine retention. The ELOS is manufactured from an injection molded elastomer to provide excellent tear resistance, noise reduction, and the ability to withstand severe impact forces preventing cracking or crushing through a wide range of temperatures and environments. Additional pistol and rifle caliber will be available in the future. (Patents Pending)
Weight: 2.91 oz
LiftR Series Modular Floatation
The LiftR-40 is intended to be used in surface and subsurface operations. The LiftR-40 is attached to existing combat equipment by slipping it on and over the shoulder straps and cummerbund of the operator’s plate carrier. The LiftR-40 is self-packing and modular to fit most brand’s plate carriers. The LiftR-40 provides the appropriate amount of lift necessary to bring a diver/swimmer to the surface and float them in a face up orientation. The Depth/Lift Requirements are assuming the operator is wearing a full operational equipment load.
The LiftR Series Modular Floatation can be worn with or without armor using one of the two attachment systems below. The Stand Alone Harness is used when armor is not needed but floatation is critical. The Rebreather Attachment System allows the operator to easily connect rebreather systems to the S&S Precision PlateFrame and LiftR.
When S&S Precision launched their latest iteration of their Performance Denim, they mentioned that they’d be releasing alternative colors in the coming months. At SHOT Show, they had this Khaki variant and they look great.
