UW Gear News

By on August 19, 2014 in Tactical Gear

UW Gear just completed a refresh on their website. The updated site is now easier to navigate and has been updated to reflect the new MKIII versions of all their chest rigs, mag pouches, and bandoleers.

In other exciting news, the new streamlined production processes put in place to create the MKIII versions of their gear have reduced and continue to reduce their lead times. I have been using one of the Swampfox MKIII Chest Rigs for the last several months and can happily report that they are just as good as the MKII, if not better. Stay tuned for the full comparison.

RE Factor Tactical Operator Plus

By on August 19, 2014 in EDC, Survival, Tactical Gear

The RE Factor Tactical Operator Band Plus is typically only released every once in a while on a limited basis. It has all the same functionality as the original Operator Band but adds a special hybrid buckle. Like the normal Operator Band buckle, it has a hidden handcuff key which can be used to escape illegal detainment (or other compromising situations). However, this version of the buckle also has an integrated whistle which can be used to wreak absolute havoc at your local aquarium’s trained dolphin performance. I guess it could be used to signal your location in an emergency too.

  • 12′ of 550 Paracord

Whiskey Two-Four 2×3 Modular Pouch to Loop Adapter

By on August 18, 2014 in EDC, Tactical Gear

The good folks at Whiskey Two-Four are like wizards with lasers and Hypalon. Their latest creation is the 2×3 Modular Pouch to Loop Adapter which allows you to turn any MOLLE compatible pouch into a hook backed pouch for use with hook and loop style organization. The 2 column by 3 row size ensures that it works with a ton of pouches and the Hypalon construction keeps weight to a minimum (just 12 grams).

S.O. Tech Cobra SIS Vest Video

By on August 15, 2014 in Tactical Gear

I am just a regular guy and obviously not the intended audience for S.O. Tech’s new Cobra SIS Vest and its accessories. However, they just released a video that puts its features on full display and it has a ton of really slick features that make it worth mentioning here.

Within the first few seconds of the video, you get to see how the Cobra SIS Vest can go from low profile to fully donned in the blink of an eye. That is pretty darn cool.

The fact that the vest is designed to accept a sling in a very integrated way is also very interesting.

Check out the video below and then take a peak at all the Cobra SIS accessories at S.O. Tech.
