Mountain Tribe Pack

Mountain Tribe Gear is a gear maker to watch. They will be designing and manufacturing packs based on the proven and affordable Down East Inc. (DEI) pack frames. Their initial offerings will be based the packs that DEI has already developed. These are great packs that never received much exposure. They are already working on improving the designs.

Every bit of these packs will be made in the US. I am really looking forward to seeing what they develop. You can keep tabs on their soft launch by visiting the Mountain Tribe Gear Facebook Page.

New Wedges from EGL

Just last Friday, I showed you the M4 Magazine Wedge from Extreme Gear Labs (EGL) that allows you to expand the magazine storage capacity of your EGL VOCR, HSP D3CR, or other compatible chest rig. Apparently Eggroll never sleeps because he has already rolled out two additional wedges – a Glock Wedge and a Medical Wedge. These Wedges are designed to attach the loop panel on the back of compatible chest rigs and fit into the natural void that usually exists between you and your chest rig.

The Glock Wedge is pretty self explanatory. It allows you to carry a Glock (or other handgun with the correct holster) in your your chest rig. It is based on G-Code holsters but other Kydex holsters should be compatible with the addition of just a bit of adhesive hook material.

The Medical Wedge is a simple, slim pouch. It lacks internal organization in order to keep it as slim as possible. It is a relatively small pouch (7.5″ x 6″ x 1″) but it can still hold 2 chest seals, hemcon, Combat Gauze, NPA, PriMed gauze, and a 4″ dressing.

These wedges can significantly expand the usefulness and functionality of any compatible chest rig. Check out the EGL Facebook Page.

EGGROLL to the Rescue – Part 2

On July 10 (two days ago), I told you about how Extreme Gear Labs jumped in to help out a police officer in need. The officer in question needed an admin pouch that could be mounted to the loop material on the front of his Mayflower R&C armor carrier and he needed it within a week due to anticipated riots in his area. Well, EGGROLL came through. He posted pics of the completed admin pouch this morning.

The pouch is 6″ x 4″ x 1″ and features elastic pen loops on each side. It is also completely covered in loop material which the officer needed so that he could still display ID. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if this became a regular seller for Extreme Gear Labs and I suspect it will fit a ton of different plate carriers without modification.

Kudos to EGL for getting things done. Check out the Extreme Gear Labs Facebook Page.
