With over 25 years of experience making and using tactical gear, including military service, parachute rigging, and working full time in the tactical gear industry, UW Gear brings a lot to the table. Now, they’ve added A-TACS AU and A-TACS FG Camo to their repertoire.
THE AR or AK MINUTEMAN
The UW Gear Minuteman II comes in several versions, 5.56 NATO for the AR platform, and AK versions in 5.45mm as well as 7.62mm. The chest rig is designed to carry 3 x 30-rd mags, plus additional gear as required. The mag pouches are tailored specifically to snuggly fit the curvature of the magazine on both AR and AK platforms. Both styles also feature UW Gear’s Fas Tab closure system for easy one-handed access to your mags as well as PALS webbing on the sides for adding additional gear or pouches and a dump pouch on the back for reloading with retention, which can also be used as an admin pouch. The shoulder harness was designed to comfortably carry the load, and is designed to be worn either with or without an armor carrier. It’s fully adjustable to fit most sizes in either high or low carry styles. It is also designed to accommodate a hydro bladder pouch or small assault pack on the back, which nicely balances the load.
THE AR or AK BANDOLEER
Like the Minuteman RIG, the UW Gear Bandoleer rig also comes in several versions; 5.56 NATO for the AR platform, and AK options in 5.45mm as well as 7.62mm. It also features curved and tailored magazine pouch closures with easy one-handed access through their Fas Tab system. Straps are easily adjustable and the low profile design make it easy to wear with or without armor. Available in both A-TACS AU and A-TACS FG Camo options.
