Blue Force Gear is having a Buy One, Get One Special on the new Black SP-1501 Vickers Combat Application Slings! The SP-501 features BFG’s new improved hardware which is lighter, stronger, and less bulky than their previous Acetal hardware (which was extremely durable). There are no limits. The sale runs through February 2 so act fast.
Direction Action USA’s new website is live. Direct Action Gear is a tactical equipment manufacturer out of Poland that has begun a push into North America. If you are a fan of the PenCott family of camo patterns this will be particularly good news since DA uses them in their gear extensively. The current lineup of products shown on the site is somewhat limited but the line will be expanding over the next several weeks. Keep your eye on the site for new releases.
CLEER Medical has introduced two new pocket medical kits. To give you an idea of how compact they are, they will fit in a Blue Force Gear Single M4 Ten-Speed Pouch. That is tiny!
There are two options. The EDC Pocket Kit is the more complete but larger kit of the two. The Minimalist Pocket Kit is extremely compact but fairly spartan in terms of contents as you might guess from the name.
EDC Pocket Kit (3″ x 6″ x 1.2″):
Minimalist Pocket Kit (3″ x 4.5″ x .96″):
AWS recently introduced their Light Assaulter Belt or LAB. The strength of this belt is its price and quality along with the unique way it can be purchased with all of the pouches you need as a turn-key system. I have not put hands on one but a good friend has and he is very pleased with it.
AWS has now announced that the LAB is available in a limited edition Kryptek Highlander colorway and that they have added new pouch options. They have also released a new image of the belt that shows several of the available colors and pouch options.
Larry Vickers visited Blue Force Gear at SHOT Show 2015 and received a first look at a ton of new gear being released this year. The video shows the new belt pouches that have already been announced but also gives a glimpse of an upcoming belt and the new AK sling based on the success of the limited editions that were released last year.
As a big fan of Blue Force Gear’s packs and Dapper system, I think the biggest new in the video is the return of the Micro DAP Pack with some new features and an affordable price. I know that the Dappers themselves are also being redesigned and released. I have put hands on them and they have been improved in a big way. Stay tuned for more.
