When it comes to choosing chest rigs, Mayflower is one of the leading companies that provides their customer with well-built chest rigs. Made with 500D fabric, the Mayflower UW Gen IV Chest Rig is soft and fits well on the body. It is also very comfortable when wearing a PACA under the rig. The Mayflower UW […]
I had the pleasure to review one of Crye’s newest creations, the Crye Adaptive Vest System, or AVS. The configuration was easy and the operator’s manual will help you make sure everything is setup properly. The Multicam fabric is great – we all know about Crye’s fabric quality – and the stitching is very well done. […]
When you need a solid plate carrier that will give you a great fit and endless “molleing” possibilities, you are most likely thinking about an Eagle Industries PC. Eagle Industries has a plate carrier available called the Multi Mission Armor Carrier – MMAC. It is one of the most flexible and scalable armor/plater carrier on […]
Special thanks to CR at Massif for digging this up and sending it to me. At the time Massif was branching out into the commerical market and had a partnership with myself, they eventually decided to focus solely on government sales and we parted ways. They’re a great company with incredible people, and I continue […]
When you are looking for something really light and durable, there is one great piece of equipment that should come to your mind: Crye Airlite Plate Carrier.

I have run most types of carriers you can imagine overseas where your choice of product very […]

Well your worries are over.t North Faces 2-Meter Dome tent sports a Hermishpered shape design with steep walls to maximize space, two windows and a chimney vent to let out some of that hot moist […]
I recently came across an interesting video about current gear in the Russian FSB Spetsnaz. Hands down these guys always had the newest most advanced gear at their disposal. Times of the “I just need my AK and my sneakers” are gone. Instead we see that at least these guys don’t talk BS that tracked […]
If you’ve ever had to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes – especially if that someone is an adventure type – you know that trekking in the snow can be as difficult as looking cool in a speedo. Yes… feels almost impossible.  Even with a decent pair of snowshoes trudging through the snow can whoop your butt. […]
I  just rolled in from Ethiopia and had this waiting for me. It is a EXFIL LTPâ„¢ Lightweight, Tactical, Polymer bump helmet from Wendy’s Helmet. This is very similar to the ones I wore in the teams and what is being used today by many operators. I’ve been talking with Surefire about some of their lighting configurations […]
