Unfortunately, items like soft body armor are becoming the norm in today’s day and age.

Although I am very biased towards the LBT 6094 as my “do everything” carrier, I realize that sometimes there is a need for a much lighter carrier.

See the press release below to see what’s in store for this year. inspired by 5.11’s battle-tested backpacks, the new Rapid Origin Pack is an ideal […]
The new Crye Precision EXP 1500 pack seems to have all the makings of a great low-vis backpack for those that travel around a lot or maintain a minimalist lifestyle. From what I hear in the industry this pack will securely hold a broken down carbine and has no ‘tactical’ features on the outside whatsoever. […]
