The Mission Spec EOC was initially only available in black, Coyote Brown and Multicam. Now that list has grown to include retro-cool woodland, instructor red, and the newest additions, Kryptek Highlander and Typhon. Check out the EOC at Mission Spec and Appalachian Training.
The new Battle Belt Dropper from US PALM just might solve a problem for you. The concept is simple. It is a panel that is covered in MOLLE webbing and provides a short, 3 column wide, dropped section of MOLLE webbing. Since it is covered in MOLLE webbing, you can still attach pouches to it as you would your battle belt, but the dropped section provides an ideal place for mounting a dump pouch.
The knee jerk reaction here is to say if you need something like this, you have too much gear on your belt. However, that is not the only reason to consider something like this. There are times that you may want multiple items to occupy roughly the same space on your belt. For instance, you may want your dump pouch on the same side and very near where your rifle mags are carried. The Battle Belt Dropper would give you the flexibility to mount both on the same belt real estate.
This could solve some problems for some users. Keep your eye on US Palm for details.
The Shellback Tactical Banshee Plate Carrier is now available in a new, lower profile configuration called the Basic Banshee Plate Carrier. It is just like the regular Banshee Plate Carrier except it comes with the internal cummerbund only. The external cummerbund is not included. This saves weights, saves cost, and makes it ideal for those who won’t use the external cummerbund anyway. If you don’t need the additional MOLLE real estate and don’t use side plates, this is the Banshee for you.

Normally when I super-size my tacos, I just end up with heart burn. When High Speed Gear super-sizes their TACOs, you end up with versatile pouches that can handle many of the extended rifle, shotgun, and pistol magazines on the market. They have now introduced extended (deeper) versions of their pistol and rifle TACOs.
The Extended Pistol TACO should be ideal for the 33 round Glock mags, MP5 mags, ASP batons, longer flashlights, and probably even Ruger BX-25 magazines. The HCM TACO should be just the ticket for PMAG 40s and Saiga 12 mags. I currently use PMAG 40s in regular TACOs with good results but the extra depth of these would ease my mind.
The Ares Gear Aegis belt is already pretty awesome thanks in large part to their custom buckle that provides very fine adjustment and a more casual, less gun-toter look. Well, it just became a little bit more awesome now that it is available with a Melonite processed buckle! This should serve as a very durable way to darken the appearance of the buckle for a lower profile look.
Melonite makes almost everything better. Check out the Aegis Belt at Ares Gear.
