Echo Nine Three (E93) has been rolling out a huge improvement to all of their sling plates. All of their sling plates are now Melonite treated for durability and corrosion resistance. The Melonite treatment replaces the powder coating that was used previously.
Every time you turn around there is a new AR-15 slick sided free float rail coming to market. Most of them lack any kind of rail cover option or anything else to protect your hand from heat and abrasion. SHTF Wrap to the rescue!
Trooper-Gear was started by one of the founders of the Trooper Class in 3 Gun Competition. The SHTF Wrap was born out of his experiences in competition and training. Aluminum free float tubes can get pretty warm in competition – warm enough to get uncomfortable. This is especially true if you live in a hot environment to begin with (Trooper-Gear is based out of Arizona). The SHTF Wrap protects the shooter from the heat of the free float tube.

Blue Force Gear just released the second chest rig to utilize their MOLLEminus technology – the SPLITminus. I have one of these in hand and will be sharing my initial thoughts on Thursday (with a full review coming after sufficient use to merit one). This is one slick chest rig.

Blue Force Gear introduces SPLITminus Chest Rig
SAVANNAH, GA—November 27, 2012—Blue Force Gear® introduces the SPLITminus™ Chest Rig. SPLITminus features Blue Force Gear’s proprietary MOLLEminus™ technology: MOLLE minus the weight, MOLLE minus the bulk, MOLLE minus the complexity.
The MOLLEminus design provides the thinnest, strongest, lightest modular load carriage of individual combat equipment: half the thickness of a dime, over 4 times as abrasion resistant as air textured nylon and formed from a single piece of Blue Force Gear’s proprietary ULTRAcomp™ laminate.
“Our friends who have used our RACKminus chest rig loved the lightweight modularity but wanted to see a split version for better comfort when in the prone position.” said John Felushko, Blue Force Gear’s Product Line Manager. “Also, front opening chest rigs are easier to use in the low profile operations that are becoming more prevalent as conflict evolves. SPLITminus delivers the solution they requested.”
SPLITminus is the simplest modular chest rig on the market and can be easily donned or doffed in seconds. Simply un-buckle the two center buckles and drop. The included mesh-lined shoulder straps are free breathing, MOLLE compatible and provide routing for communications wires, hydration tubes or antennas.
SPLITminus is compatible with all legacy issue MOLLE pouches and for the ultimate lightweight chest rig combine SPLITminus with pouches featuring Blue Force Gear’s revolutionary Helium Whisper™ Attachment system.
About ULTRAcomp
Blue Force Gear’s proprietary high performance laminate, ULTRAcomp, far exceeds the military standard air textured nylon in tear and abrasion resistance. It has antifungal and hydrophobic features which reduces skin infection, odor, and weight gain when wet.

If you have been paying attention, you have probably noticed that the Kryptek camo patterns are starting to show up in the work of various gear makers. Kryptek is garnering a lot of attention thanks to their very striking camo design and the fact that it works well enough to make them one of the finalists in the U.S. Army’s Camo Improvement Study.
EGL VOCR
Extreme Gear Labs is already working with the 500D nylon Mandrake colorway. EGL have shown several gear items utilizing the new patterns. Kryptek has shown a Highlander colorway prototype plate carrier that appears to be very closely related to the excellent Mayflower R&C APC. Grey Ghost Gear has announced that they have some of their packs inbound in the Kryptek camo patterns.
I suspect that you will start seeing a lot more of Kryptek. Check out Kryptek.com.
