Everyone who owns a pair of Lowa boots will agree with me that they are one of the most durable and well-built boots on the market. I have been wearing my Lowa Elite Desert boots for two years now, and they have been through some serious beating. However, the sole and the boot itself are […]
Whenever I leave my house with my truck, I always make sure that my bug-out bag (BoB) is in the trunk. Not because I fear a zombie apocalypse, but because it could save my life if anything would happen. While some recommend having 72 hours worth of gear in a BoB, I do carry a […]
Everyone who has been deployed has some sort of pre-operation routine. As for myself I followed a strict guideline to ensure I had all the possible gear I would need. As a TCCC operator, I also needed to have enough medical equipment to take care of my guys in case something would happen until the […]
My first impression is that the Siege-R is one hell of a plate carrier! It is very well stitched and feels really comfortable. The exterior cummerbund is very flexible and makes it very easy to adjust the carrier to your exact size. It is also designed to fit side plates. The FirstSpear 6/12 Pocket Attachment System on […]
The Pelican 472-PWC-M4 Rifle Case is ideal for carrying a standard M4 and a M9 Beretta. The 1.6pcf polyester foam will keep your weapons in place and prevent any contact between them. There is also space for standard M4 and M9 magazines. The six press-and-pull latches will keep your weapons secure and the case watertight. This […]

Whether it is used as an aiming aid in dark environments or to blind a bad guy when you are conducting dynamic […]

You can easily add front, back, and side standard SAPI plates (Level IV). It is available in standard and swimmer-cut plates, as well as with Level […]
I had the pleasure to review the First Spear Ops-Core Hybrid helmet cover on my Ops-Core Maritime-Cut helmet. First Spear makes great gear, and this helmet cover is by far the best I have seen on the market so far. In today’s environment of asymmetric warfare, helmet covers are very useful, since we might fight in […]
The Petzl Strix VL is revolutionary in the headlamp world. It gives users the option of four unique color modes and can be attached to ARC rails on helmets such as Ops-Core or Team Wendy. But one of the Strix VL’s greatest features is its ability to quickly and securely rotate 180 degrees with just a twist—easy to adjust to your exact needs, orienting […]
SOG has always been at the top of their game when it comes to designing new knives. When you are outdoors and you need to use your knife in the dark, you have to pull out your flashlight and light the area where you need to work. Well SOG has just created a new knife that […]
