It looks like Mission Spec is considering getting into the morale patch game. You may not be jumping onto moving narco submarines but maybe you would like to have a patch that celebrates the men that do.
Just in case you don’t know what this is about: CNN
Mission Spec has just released the first look at their new LOMOP™ (Large Or Multiple Operator Platecarrier). At first it appears to be just another large plate carrier but when you see it to scale against a ‘normal’ carrier you will come to one of two conclusions. Either Mission Spec is gearing up for a genetically engineered super soldier program or someone has been thinking outside of the box.
When asked, the project leader cleared things up. “Other companies are producing stand-alone armor solutions to protect multiple team members at once. We are attacking the problem from another angle. From scale, really. Why invent a new solution when you can simply scale up what you already have?”
While it looks as if it was designed for one huge shooter, “Which is always an option if the world ever gets it’s genetic engineering priorities right.” Added the same project leader, the LOMOP is designed to house two operators at once. One shooter supports a single oversized shoulder strap with another shooter doing the same on the opposite side. At anytime the LOMOP can be rested on the floor and utilized as a fighting position.
Dignitary protection will also find the LOMOP useful. Imagine a scenario where a VIP has just been recovered from hostile force. The LOMOP can completely envelope the principle while an operator on either side (still under cover) can fight and move to egress.
Currently there is no level 4 armor insert available to fit the LOMOP but Mission Spec is working on that problem now. “We have contacted many armor producers, but they all seem to think it is a joke and hang up laughing before we can explain the benefits. Some people in this industry have no ability to look forward to the future.” The project leader remarked.
Look for the LOMOP to start deploying to teams in Q3 of 2019. This will be an ITAR item.
Mission Spec has released the slimmer version of their signature chest rig as the MagRack5-Lite. This lighter weight version of the original MagRack5 is nearly identical except for the subtraction of the laser cut PALS wings.
The MagRack5-Lite can be used as a standalone piece of gear (with the addition of Mission Spec RackStraps™) or can be integrated into a plate carrier setup such as the Essentials Carrier 2 (EC2)™ or Armor Carrier 2 (AC2)™ also available from Mission Spec.
The MagRack5-Lite uses industry standard buckles and buckle patterns to make integration with other gear as easy as possible.
Available now in a large variety of solid colors and camouflage patterns. All Mission Spec items are 100% designed, tested, and manufactured in the United States with US-sourced components and are Berry Compliant.
Mission Spec has released the EC2-XL™, the larger version of the standard Essentials Carrier 2. As the name implies this carrier is designed specifically for XL sized (e,x)SAPI (or like) armor plates (not included).
Just like the standard sized version, the EC2-XL includes native support for industry standard chest rigs (with the addition of 2 QASM buckles), dual tourniquet holders, dual pen/chem-light/medical gloves storage, cable and hydration routing options, rear pack hangers, and simulated PALS sewn into the semi-elastic side straps for extra MOLLE pouch support. Excluding armor, the EC2-XL weighs 29 ounces and is constructed from 1000D CORDURA (500D for MultiCam; Black, Arid, Tropic).
Note: The above video was produced with a standard sized EC2.
The EC2-XL is fully compatible with other Mission Spec products such as ShoulderSavers™ (all versions), FlankSavers™, and MagRack5™. Inserted armor is always kept at the highest possible position inside of the plate bags due to the EC2-XL’s armor suspension system. All armor weight bypasses the CORDURA® layer and is loaded directly onto the internal webbing structure.
Available now in the entire line of standard colors and patterns offered by Mission Spec. Custom colors and patterns along with other customizations are possible on a case by case basis. Contact Mission Spec if needed. 100% designed, tested, and manufactured in the United States with US sourced components and Berry Compliant.
