Gear

Crye Precision AirLite Structural Plate Carrier (SPC) is one of the most sought-after load bearing solutions on the market. Practically out of stock everywhere around the world constantly we waited and hunted 6 months to put this one together. Here's our initial observations.

One of the biggest issues in achieving effective team communications has been the lack of quality headsets and PTTs that don't cost an arm and a leg. Finally there are a couple players in the market that repurpose new and used MIL-SPEC equipment for the civilian market. One of them being FiveFour Communications in the UK. This is a review of their Bowman + Nexus U94 PTT combo.

There are many admin and utility pouches on the market, but surprisingly few of them are actually well-thought out. One of those few is the MilSpec Monkey Tac-Organizer that I found recently.

Templars Gear is a fairly new entrant to the tactical equipment market at least I just heard of them recently. Focused on laser cut tactical gear they produce their equipment in Poland using top of the line components and textiles. My first purchase from them included a couple fast access magazine pouches to place on my belt kit. This post covers my impressions on them.

This roll up dump pouch is another recent addition to my updated first line. While it's a pretty simple pouch I wanted to share my initial observations about it.

Blue Force Gear says the Ten-Speed pouches were designed to be the pouch you forget is there. In that specific role it definitely excels. I've been using Ten-Speed pouches for a few years now, in this post I share my thoughts where I think they have the best use.

Picked up a new sling for my primary. Decided to go with the Ferro Concepts Slingster this time after previously owning the Magpul MS3 sling. This post covers my first impressions on the Slingster.

Now this is cool, a custom chest rig of our own design. About 10 of these exist, made by VPT in Finland. This post goes into detail why, how and what we built based on our own needs.
