WTF Integrated Admin Commo Pouch

The new Integrated Admin Commo Pouch from Whiskey Two-Four packs some fresh ideas. It is a pouch designed to carry a radio and typical “admin” items. The pictures shown are of a final sample, not a production piece, so there may be changes to the design.

The integrated approach to the design of this pouch is very interesting. While the pouch may appear bulky, it actually saves space in some clever ways. The admin pocket on the front is place there to serve as a form of additional padding/protection for the radio which is mounted in the pocket behind it so the potential weight and bulk of heavy padding is not necessary. The admin pouch is also a logical place to store additional batteries for the radio. It is a marriage of function that makes solid sense.

The laser cut Hypalon ports found on this pouch are also extremely interesting and could see wide ranging application beyond just this pouch. One application that has already been mentioned is as a non-metallic grommet replacement for pouch drainage.

It will be interesting to see how these ideas can be built on and applied in new ways. Stay tuned for news about a group who is already trying to do just that.

Blue Force Gear Wallet – New Colors

The Blue Force Gear has expanded the color offerings of their wallet to include OD Green and Wolf Grey (along with the original Multicam). This wallet is made from the same ULTRAcomp material that you’ll find in much of their gear lineup.

The original Multicam wallets didn’t stay in stock for long so you may want to grab your favorite color quickly. Check out the BFG Wallet.

Arisaka 300 Series Light Body

IMG_2681_largeArisaka’s new 300 Series Light Body offers a more streamlined alternative to the original light body that is included with the light. They reduced the bulk of the mounting interface to only what is necessary to work with aftermarket light mounts which tend to hold the light closer to the rail. This clears out space around the light, providing clearance for items like your front sight. This is especially important when the light will be used on an offset light mount that holds the light very close to the rail.

The availability of this body also opens up the possibility of building your own light from components including those from Malkoff Devices.
