Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Review: First Tactical’s Summit Side Satchel Chris Hernandez Years ago I swore I’d never do two things: wear a reflective belt or carry a “man purse.” Thanks to the Army, I had to break my promise not to wear a stupid reflective belt.

Saying I have a thing for packs might be an understatement. I never realized how many I had, and how I can’t separate myself from them. I have everything from old school metal framed ALICE packs to Blue Force Gear’s latest offering. They all have a role to fill in my life. The newest pack […]
Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Low-Vis Like You Mean It: Crye LVS Dave Merrill Usually when I hear the terms “low vis” and “concealable” when it comes to body armor I roll my eyes.

Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Grey Ghost Gear Carrier And Things To Put In It Jake Call Grey Ghost Gear has two plate carriers in their current lineup, one being a newly released version of the first. The new Hypalon Minimalist Plate Carrier (say that ten times fast) was recently released, and you guessed it, […]
Spring has sprung. It’s time to ditch your winter coat, say goodbye to all those pockets, and get back outside. While the warmer weather is a welcome change of pace, it’s not always sunshine. Spring usually means rain, so it’s important that your EDC gear has some level of water resistance. It’s also the time […]
