Mystery Ranch is about to drop 3 new backpacks in their Mountain line! The Rush, Swift, and Big Mountain will be available for pre-order tomorrow (4/16).
All three packs will feature a new internal frame design. The Big Mountain, the largest of the bunch, will boast 4000 cu. in. of capacity. The Rush and Swift will feature Mystery Ranch’s iconic 3-zip design.
Check out Mystery Ranch while you wait for the new packs to drop.
Midwest Armor’s new VENTURE FM4 has a spec sheet that is down right drool inducing. How does a level IV stand alone, triple curve plate that is only .55″ thick sound? What if I told you it weighs only 5.5 pounds per plate?
These plates tick every check box for what makes a potentially epic set of ballistic plates – thin, broad ballistic threat mitigation, and lightweight. Check out the new VENTURE FM4 at Midwest Armor.
Shellback Tactical just added a bunch of new brands to their site including Tough Hook, Eleven10 Gear, and Phokus Research Group. Now you can pick up a Banshee PC, a Sons Trauma Kit to store in the plate pocket, a Rigid Tourniquet Case to mount on it, and a hanger to store it all on in one place. That is a little something called convenience.
Blue Force Gear has some slick new gear for you to check out!
The Molded Burnsed Socket is a polymer version of the previously reviewed Burnsed Socket (machined aluminum). It has all the same functionality as the original and allows the user to convert a 2 point sling into a single point sling on the fly.
The new Molded Burnsed Socket features a metal QD swivel socket molded into a body made from the same durable resin used in Blue Force Gear’s other polymer hardware. The plastic can be color matched to the sling (or contrasted for visibility) and is extremely durable. It also costs considerably less than the aluminum version.
Blue Force Gear has also released larger versions of their excellent RACKminus and SPLITminus chest rigs. The large versions sport 16 columns of MOLLE real estate so you can carry more gear. That is 4 more columns than the original chest rigs.
Hopefully there is a small 8 column version of the RACKminus in the works!
The BURRO (Basic Utility Rugged Rear-pocket Organizer) from Fight and Flight Tactical is a wallet designed to organize all your wallet stuff so you can be less of a disgusting slob.
It has a plenty of room for all your cash (yeah right), 6 slots for your credit cards (or credit card shaped items), interior and exterior clear plastic ID window, pen loops, and even a small elastic pocket for your little keychain sized rewards cards (you can’t earn free coffee if you don’t carry the card). There is even enough room to carry a checkbook (remember those?).
It is made in Kentucky from 2 layers of 500D Cordura nylon so it will probably wear through multiple pairs of pants and your backside long before you wear it out. It even has a bit of loop Velcro on the exterior so you can display a patch.
Fight and Flight Tactical calls it an admin pouch for your butt which is weird but don’t hold that against the BURRO. It’s pretty slick. Check out the BURRO at Fight and Flight Tactical and ditch the Costanza wallet.
