The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
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 […]
We recently received several products from FlowFold to test and evaluate. I reviewed their Vanguard Wallet which has been working out really well as a lightweight minimalist wallet. In this short review we are taking a look at the Optimist 10 Liter Mini Backpack. Honestly one of the best things I like about the Optimist […]

Various Osprey and Deuter packs for camping and hiking. Ogio Gambit for airline travel, etcetera, etcetera. I just received an urban daypack from Deuter called the Walker 24. […]
With the multitudinous variety of options we have in the tactical accessory world, it’s easy to assume one pouch is probably the same as most others. What defines a better pouch?

Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Agilite, as some of you may already know, is an equipment company founded and run by both US and Israeli SOF veterans. They build good kit; I’ve used a lot of it over the course of my career, and made sure other members of the Breach-Bang-Clear crew have had the […]
Courtesy of Real World Survivor After a successful test run, Grey Ghost Gear finally debuted its Gypsy Pack for everyday usage. Big enough to carry a MacBook Air, the urban, flat top designed bag has compartments for you to easily access your tools if you need to stock up on your survival gear for a wild weekend adventure. RELATED […]
By Matthew Sharp Prometheus Design Werx first unveiled their S.H.A.D.O. Pack to the general public about a year ago during SHOT Show.
