NextGen Warfighter is currently working toward releasing a new version of their Base Strap for Apple Watches. The current Base Strap Mk2 fits a wide variety of watches but does not fit the Apple Watch series. The features for the new Apple Watch compatible version will likely remain the same as the current Base Strap though there might be the addition of a hole in the strap that would allow the Apple Watch’s heart rate monitor to function.
Gear Whores Anonymous (GWA) is now offering their first pack via NextGen Warfighter. The Citadel Gen.1 is a pretty ambitious design. It attempts to serve the travel, EDC, and tactical markets all in one go.
Here is what GWA has to say about the Citadel Gen.1…
The Citadel has been a bag 7 years in the making with every detail painstakingly prototyped & fielded in order to ensure maximum functionality. All this over a 2 year period that has covered over 20,000 miles of road & air travel. Throughout the years we have used dozens of bags while never encountering one perfect design that incorporated everything we wanted in a bag. The Citadel combines all of our favorite & must have features into one bag. This making it our perfect EDC, travel & tactical use pack.

Gear Whores Anonymous’ new FALSE Patch features the mug of everyone’s favorite beet farmer. The patches are available for pre-order now with a shipping date of sometime this month.
The new Gear Whores Anonymous Base Strap Mk1 is available for pre-order at NextGen Warfighter. This is a replacement band for the Suunto Core or any other watch of similar size. It requires the use of readily available conversion lugs in order to attach to the Core.
The Base Strap also has a small section of strap that is specifically designed to accept a Suunto Clipper compass. When the Core and Clipper are placed together, the wearer would have two very capable land nav tools close at hand.
