In spite of the name, you don’t have to be an “operator” to wear the new Operator Grey Banshee Plate Carrier from Shellback Tactical. The new color is available now from Shellback Tactical.

Verdande.EU TQ-Holder
Several companies make “bikini” style tourniquet holders that mount in a single column of PALS webbing. The TQ-Holder from Verdande.EU, a tactical gear maker based in Denmark, provides more coverage than most.
The TQ-Holder is made from laser cut Hypalon that Verdande.EU skeletonizes to make even lighter in weight than it already is and wider, heavy duty elastic. The result is a carrier that provides improved coverage but still weighs very little.

UW Gear Experimental Mag Pouch
We rarely get a glimpse behind the curtain but the guys at UW Gear are constantly experimenting with new ideas. They recently built a few pouches using the WTFix backing from Whiskey Two-Four and are currently putting it through the wringer.
The WTFix system consists of several base components that are made of Hypalon that is laser cut to standard sizes and shapes. The benefit to the gear maker is reduced time and cost while the end user benefits with less weight and increased durability.
At this point, these pouches are prototypes only and are not available to order. This is just a rare glimpse into the development process of a gear maker and a very cool look at how collaboration is potentially helping to make your gear better.
RE Factor Tactical Down Under

Custom Call Sign Patches from Perroz Designs
There are a few places that can make you good quality call sign patches with various combinations of letters and numbers. If you want something a bit more custom and intricate, your options are pretty slim. Perroz Designs is one of the few manufacturers I know willing to take on such work and they do it very well. They recently did some excellent work for my friends at Blue Force Gear that is worth showing off.
The custom patches that they created will be seen at SHOT Show, so they have to look good. The patches feature IR reflective or 3M SOLAS visibile light reflective backings with Wolf Grey nylon covering.
