Blue Force Gear Triple Mag Pouch | A combat proven mag pouch

Blue Force Gear Triple Mag Pouch | A combat proven mag pouch

In today’s market, there is a myriad of mag pouches to choose from. They range from low-profile to very secure. Its a rarity to have a piece of kit that can do both without compromising the other. In my opinion, the Blue Force Gear Triple Mag Pouch is the way forward. They provide a solid grip on the magazine […]

Mechanix Wear FastFit Gloves

Mechanix Wear FastFit Gloves

When looking for a tactical set of gloves we all have our favorite brands, Oakley, Mechanix, Condor, and so on. Some of us will hunt high and low to find the right set of gloves and pay what we need to pay, which can be expensive at times. I recently deployed to a new AO (area of operations) and was […]

Warrior Assault Systems Quick Release Sling H&K Hook

Warrior Assault Systems Quick Release Sling H&K Hook

While I was back home on some down time I made the choice to get some new kit and make some upgrades. One thing I have been keen to try out was the Warrior Assault Systems Quick Release Sling H&K Hook. Looks like a Gucci piece of kit so I got in touch with the […]

Warrior Assault Systems | Medic Rip off Pouch

We all know how important medical care is. Seconds can be the difference in saving a buddy from bleeding out! When it comes to medical gear, anything that can make up those seconds should be top of the list. I’m going to start by saying this Medic Rip Off Pouch is a remarkable bit of […]

Flyye Fast Attack Plate Carrier

Flyye Fast Attack Plate Carrier | A combat proven budget plate carrier

Plate carries are an essential bit of kit for anyone operating in a hazardous environment. At some point, you will need the protection – whether in the PMC industry, law enforcement, or the Military. Choosing the right one can be difficult due to the plethora of products available on the market. No matter the price range, they […]

Warrior Assault Systems Enhanced Patrol Belt

Warrior Assault Systems Enhanced Patrol Belt

When it comes to belts I am not a fan of them, never have been, but I see the use for them in addition to a plate carrier. My main problem with belts have always been the fitting issues under heavy loads they just slip and slide around. I understand that they are a benefit […]

Warrior Assault Systems | Triple Elastic Magazine Pouches

Warrior Assault Systems | Triple Elastic Magazine Pouches

MAG pouches are the never-ending battle for some of us out there. In the past, I had used the Blue Force Gear triple elastic Mag pouches. You guys may remember I was a massive fan of them making my drawing speed like lightning. But also, the vice hold they had on the Mags it gave […]

Warrior Assault Systems | Falcon Chest Rig

Warrior Assault Systems | Falcon Chest Rig

Selecting a main load bearing piece of equipment can be a tough choice. Some guys like plate carriers and the protection that’s comes with them. Other guys choose a Chest Rig because of the free movement and lighter loadout, plus being light means you’re fast, making you a harder target. It’s no shock to everyone […]

Chase Tactical Bump Helmet

Chase Tactical Bump Helmet Review

BUMP helmets are hated by some and loved by others. See why might work for someone not wanting or needing a full ballistic helmet option.

Warrior Assault Systems Plate Carrier

Warrior Assault Systems Plate Carrier

When it comes to Plate Carries (PCs) for me there are two options; low profile for speed flexibility and light Load-Outs or the other option is Protection. They tend to heavier but also you can get more gear on but you will lose some movement but that choice is you Speed vs Protection. In the […]
