TAREINCO LoPro Wallet

By on August 17, 2012 in EDC, Tactical Gear

I am sure many of you share my concern for Mark Basa’s health. He is the owner of TAREINCO and apparently he never sleeps. We recently told you about the Tape Switch Holder (TSH) that he created and now another creation is rolling off his busy workbench – the LoPro Wallet.

Compared to the LoPro Wallet, most wallets are kind of like those old wool bathing suits that covered a person from neck to knee. The LoPro wallet is more like a Speedo. This is one tiny wallet and yet, in true TAREINCO style, it is packing some interesting features.

The LoPro wallet utilized elastic to be compact, but allow enough expansion to carry several credit cards, IDs, and cash. It features a hook and loop flap closure that keeps everything intact. It also has a small loop field for adding a morale patch. If you are without pockets, the LoPro wallet can be secured to a small belt. So, yeah, the LoPro is tiny in size but it is big on features.

NavELite Updates and App

By on August 16, 2012 in EDC, Survival

I am pretty excited about the upcoming NavELite. It will really fill a void in the market for quality wrist compasses.

If you want a preview of how the NavELite will look and work, you can check out their new iPhone/iPad App. The app replicates the look the face and needle on the NavELite. It also has a backlight function and you can rotate the “bezel” to set an azimuth. The NavE-Compass app is free and well worth a look if you own an Apple device.

There are a lot of other interesting things happening around NavELite HQ other than the new app. They are currently experimenting with a very promising method of waterproofing the NavELite.It remains to be seen whether this waterproofing concept will find its way into the standard NavELite or if it will be available in a second, more water-resistant model. Additionaly, the backlight button has been redesigned to improve performance.

It is cool to see a company that not only shares their fascinating development process but also constantly tweaks their design to make sure it is perfect. Check out the NavELite website and Facebook Page.

White Sound Defense Guide Rod for G19/23

By on August 16, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

White Sound Defense (WSD) has released the GLOCK 19/23/32/38 version of their guide rod. I previously had the chance to review the G17/22 version and found that it worked as well as other guide rods with the additional stand-off feature.

WSD designs their guide rods with a couple of unique features. The most obvious feature is the extended length. The guide rods are designed to extend slightly beyond the front of the slide. This allows the guide rod to serve as a stand-off to prevent the slide from being pressed out of battery in event that the the GLOCK must be pressed into the body of an attacker. Additionally, their guide rods have a small hole in them that allow you to use a paper clip to wind the spring onto the rod, making installation much easier.

TAREINCO Tape Switch Holder

By on August 15, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

Mark Basa, owner of TAREINCO, has a mind that never stops. He works into the wee hours of the morning prototyping new designs. One of the most recent products of his fertile mind is the TSH (Tape Switch Holder).

It is pretty easy to guess what the TSH does once you hear its name. It is an elastic cuff that retains your tape switch pad without the need for rubber bands, zip ties, tape, adhesive Velcro, or any other stop gap method of securing the tape switch. The TSH allows you to place the tape switch anywhere on or around the hand guard.

Much of the versatility of the TSH is derived from it’s mil-spec elastic construction. Mark says that the TSH is tight enough to stay put on the rail and tight enough to aggressively hold the tape switch, yet it has enough stretch to fit just about any hand guard. It will even stretch enough to clear a front sight base.

The TSH is available in black, foliage green, and coyote brown from TAREINCO.com. We have some of these in bound for review and a giveaway so stay tuned.
