Tier1-D – Gear for Dads Like Me and You

By on October 5, 2016 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Tier1-Dad (Tier1-D) is a brand for dads and kids of the tactical persuasion. Their military gear inspired bags, apparel, and swaddles (yes, swaddles) are more than just a little slick. In fact, their gear is so good it has me thinking about having another kid since my youngest is just out of the toddler phase now and doesn’t require a diaper bag.

Tier1-D is the creation of Jack Osbourne who happens to be a shooter and a geardo which really shows in the designs. All of their gear is made in the USA and their bags are sewn by a veteran owned manufacturer.

Their apparel line features incredibly clever toddler shirts and 0nesies with a chest rig graphic.

I would have gladly traded all our cutesy pink baby swaddles for just one of their Multicam Swaddles!

Tier1-D’s bag line is especially interesting. Sure, the bags are designed to serve as diaper bags, especially when used with the option 3 Pouch Insert for bottles, diapers, etc. However, they would also make great EDC/range/office/travel bags once the kids are out of diapers. They have versatile organization features like laser cut Hank MOLLE panels on the exterior and loop lined interiors.

There are tons of tactical lifestyle brands out there but few have pulled it off with the level of style and authenticity I see in Tier1-D. These aren’t novelty items. They are actually hard use gear items designed by someone with a good sense of style who obviously loves this stuff as much as I (and probably you) do.

Limited Edition Guantanamo Bay T-Shirt from RE Factor Tactical

By on October 4, 2016 in EDC

To the oblivious, Guantanamo Bay sounds like a tropical vacation spot and waterboarding sounds like just the sort of water sport you might try at said tropical vacation spot. That is, of course, why the new Guantanamo T-Shirt from RE Factor Tactical works so well. The clueless won’t think twice and those in-the-know will either be disgusted or busting a gut.

Hawkrigger Belts

By on October 3, 2016 in EDC

If you are looking for a belt that bridges the gap between tactical/outdoor/EDC to casual, you may want to check out the offerings from Hawkrigger. The UK based belt maker uses custom hardware and high quality materials to create belts that will seem familiar to US based buyers but are unique in the materials they use and the function they offer.

For instance, many of you will be familiar with instructor or rigger style belts. Hawkrigger offers what they call the SF Rigger Belt with a number of options that sets it apart from most we are used to seeing in the US. They have designed a clever side adjustment buckle that completely does away with the loose tail often found on this style of belt. Their D-ring design even lays flat until it is needed.

The webbing is also different than most similar looking belts targeted toward the CCW market. Hawkrigger’s webbing is more flexible though still stiff enough to support a holster.

The belts are reasonably priced and Hawkrigger tells me they have hustled to ensure that shipping to the USA is affordable. You can check out all their offerings at Hawkrigger.com.
