When it comes to plate carriers, I always get excited to review them. I had the opportunity to tryout a Warrior Assault System DCS Base Plate Carrier from Chase Tactical. Chase Tactical’s Fabrics, Webbing, Plastic Hardware and Threads are treated at source to deliver the lowest I.R. Signature possible. Made with 1000D cordura, the webbing is […]
The Mayflower Pusher Chest Rig (UW Gen VI) is one of my top choices for green ops and reconnaissance patrols. It is a very light rig, and it’s wide should straps will help you to carry heavy loads. Used with a PACA underneath, the Pusher Chest Rig can be used in almost any situation and […]
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 […]
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. AirLiteâ„¢ is a material system they developed with one goal in mind; reduced weight. Much of the weight of a traditional armor system isn’t in the armor. The carrier […]
At a quick glance, most plate carriers look the same. And to many, who primarily use them for range use or lighter abuse situations, you may not notice the difference between the untold number of options out there. I have run most types of carriers you can imagine overseas where your choice of product very […]
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 […]
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 […]
Last week I had the opportunity to visit with Dave Rhoden at 511 Tactical Gear. He sat me down in their conference room, pulled out a pen and with a look of intensity asked, “What do you need?”. I went on to tell him about how relevant the tactics, principles, and gear were to professionals […]
