Whether you are reading JTT or shopping for gear, you’ve probably seen the word “denier” as it pertains to fabric, especially nylon. If you haven’t seen the word denier, you may have seen the shorthand for it which is a letter “D” appended to a number like 1000D or 500D.
If you have ever wondered what that means, Mission Spec can help. They just released a video that tells you what denier is and explains some of how it affects the attributes of the fabric.
UW Gear will now offer the A-TACS iX camo pattern across their entire line of chest rigs and other support gear. The A-TACS iX pattern is not listed on their website so you will need to either note that you want it in your order comments or email UW Gear after your order.
The new IWB Magazine Pouches from Snake Eater Tactical are designed to be thin, light, and to move with you. They are constructed from a thin layer of heavy duty elastic that has enough grip to conform to and retain several different magazine types or other gear like tourniquets. The retention is strong enough that it will actually retain shorter magazines that do not bottom out in the pouch.
The Velcro One-Wrap belt loop is sewn to the top of the pouch allowing it be taken on and off without removing your belt. The loop can also be easily sized to a wide variety of belt widths and trimmed with scissors if necessary.

Unity Tactical has released a new video for the CLUTCH Belt that gives us the best look yet at its intended function as a low profile load carriage system. Previous videos have done an excellent job of showing the features of the belt but the new video gives us better context. It also shows the CLUTCH Belt’s compatibility with Blade-Tech’s affordable line of injection molded magazine pouches which is a new wrinkle worth noting.
OSOE’s latest bag, the BBD Bag, is now available. This compact, full clamshell opening, bag has a ton of versatility built in.
The BBD Bag is flexible enough to serve as anything from a compact EDC bag to something like an active shooter response bag. Its outer surfaces are covered with OSOE’s color matched PALS webbing (8 columns x 3 rows). The opposing interior surfaces are covered with loop material to accept any hook backed organization pouches.
Picture 8 AR-15 magazines arranged in 4 stacks of 2 magazines each side by side and you have rough idea of the size of the bag but it can be stuffed beyond this 8″ x 12″ x 3.5″ size. It is large enough to carry a fair amount of gear but not so large that you’ll overload it. If you need to expand it’s capacity, you can add pouches to the exterior PALS field.
The BBD Bag features a double-zippered clamshell opening design that gives full access to all contents. It can be carried via a large grab handle or the included removable shoulder strap that utilizes G-Hooks to attach to the bag.
