GITD Reflective Patches from Mojo Tactical
Some patches are more useful than others. The new GITD Reflective Patches are some of the most useful patches that you will ever find.
These patches look pretty neat and they are pretty low profile in the day light. Once darkness falls, these patches glow in the dark (GITD) and are also reflective. You can put them on your pack so you can find it easily in camp. They can be worn during low light training so you can keep track of people moving on the range. There are a ton of uses for patches like this.
The GITD Reflective patches come in a wide variety of sizes (1×1″, 1×2″, 2×2″, 1×4.5″, 2×4″) and a US Flag version. Check them out on Mojo Tactical’s Facebook storefront.
NukoTools PunchRings Gen. 2
The PunchRing from NukoTools is one of the most compact and easy to carry single finger knucks on the market. I reviewed one of the original ones and I loved it. NukoTools has tweaked the design of the original and the 2nd generation PunchRing is now available.
The new version features the new NukoTools logo and some ergonomic improvements. The most noticeable of the ergonomic improvements is the addition of cutouts on either side of the finger hole. These should serve to make the PunchRing more comfortable and more secure when it is gripped.
Like, the original PunchRing, These are handmade from G-10. G-10 is lightweight, bull strong, and completely non-magnetic. It is a great material for this application.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on one of the new Gen 2 PunchRings for review.
ESEE 5&6 Custom Handles from T-K-C
The-Knife-Connection (T-K-C) has expanded its line of custom handle slabs for ESEE knives once again. Their custom scales for the ESEE 5 and ESEE 6 are now available.
The handles on the stock ESEE 5 and 6 are some of the most comfortable in the ESEE line but there are some out there who prefer a more contoured handle over the flat scales that come standard on the 5 and 6. The drop-in custom handle scales from T-K-C feature pronounced swells to lock the hand in place. They also have a slight texture to increase grip. On top of all of the functional issues, if we are being completely honest, there are many out there who will prefer the looks of the new T-K-C handles. Some people just can’t help customizing their gear.
Check out the new scales at The-Knife-Connection.
Hill People Gear Highlander
The upcoming Highlander pack from Hill People Gear is more than just an up sized version of their popular Tarahumara pack. It adds some additional functionality to go along with the additional size.
The Highlander can be used with the same HPG shoulder harness that the Tarahumara utilizes. The harness turns the Highlander into a stand alone pack with many of the same features but more capacity than the Tarahumara. However, the Highlander can also be used with a kit that turns it into a compression panel.
This compression panel functionality allows the Highlander to be docked to just about any frame on the market (Kifaru, Mystery Ranch, etc). Once docked, you can load up the pack and carry loads between the pack and the frame. This is great for carrying odd shaped items like water cans, bulky compression sacks, or even meat. I have a Mystery Ranch Crew Cab that offers similar functionality and it is exceedingly useful. You will always be finding new ways to carry a wide variety of items.
This looks like it will be a tremendously versatile piece of gear. Check out the Highlander on HillPeopleGear.com.
