Raine Inc. has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their new MOLLE Cover for Tubes™ Cummerbunds. The covers have a number of functions including adding back the MOLLE real-estate lost to the Tubes hardware as well as protecting the hardware.
From Raine Inc.:
In development and testing for 2 years, the Raine MOLLE Cover for Tubes™ cummerbunds gives you back the MOLLE real-estate lost from using FirstSpear® Tubes™ quick release hardware on a plate carrier and body armor vest.
The MOLLE Cover is compatible with all FirstSpear® platforms, does not interfere with the Tubes™ quick release function, and securely attaches to Tubes™ cummerbunds like a second skin.
FirstSpear®, Tubes™, 6/12™ and 6/9™ are trademarks of FirstSpear, LLC. Products shown with these trademarks are built with FirstSpear Technology™.

B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. is pleased to announce that the MAWL-DA has been selected by the French National Gendarmerie’s elite police tactical unit, the GIGN, as their official individual NIR/VIS weapon laser and illuminator. The GIGN is currently upgrading legacy systems, and has begun to integrate new technologies with the unit’s available weapons platforms.
After evaluating various laser aiming and illumination systems through rigorous testing, and in real-world scenarios, the MAWL-DA was proven to be the superior solution, and was selected for formal procurement and deployment within the unit. In addition to the MAWL-DA’s selection by the GIGN, other units in France, and other European SOF units have adopted it for use in their respective operations.
The GIGN is the elite Police Tactical Unit of the French National Gendarmerie. Its missions include counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, surveillance of national threats, protection of government officials, and targeting organized crime. It is renowned for its selection and implementation of innovative technology and tactics, using a comprehensive suite of both small arms solutions, and weapon enabling systems. The unit’s selection of the MAWL-DA as a tool for mission success is notable in light of the GIGN’s pedigree, and reputation as a premiere SOF unit. B.E. Meyers & Co. looks forward to the MAWL-DA’s service with the GIGN as NIR/VIS pointing and illumination system which will assist in the unit’s response to both domestic and international threats.
The MAWL-DA (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser – Direct Action) is a high-power infrared and visible green aiming and illumination laser for individual carbines. Offering improved ergonomics, interface, and performance, the MAWL-DA has been designed from the ground up around the needs of the modern night fighter.
Engineered to address the shortcomings of common laser devices in use with both military and law enforcement, the MAWL® incorporates cutting edge VCSEL technology which eliminates the current problem of inconsistent and granular, speckled illumination. This unparalleled beam quality is leveraged with multiple modes of divergence and power, based on the ideal settings for any operational environment: Close Range, Mid Range, or Long Range.

I recently had the flu and I am not sure I would have made it through without a poncho liner, or woobie, that kept me warm while I wasted away on the couch. My wife and I even keep an after-market poncho liner with improved insulation near our bed in the winter to stave off the morning cold that comes with having a wood heated house. It is safe to say that woobies are integrated into my life and I suspect many of you are the same… but what if you could wear one all the time?
That is exactly what the Perseverance Survival Woobie Hoodie is all about. It is a hoodie, the world’s most versatile top, that is made from a woobie, the world’s most versatile blanket. You can wear it on its own or use it as an insulation layer under a shell in cold weather.
The Woobie Hoodie is available in three colors: Coyote, MARPAT, and good old Woodland Camo. I just ordered a Woodland Camo version for myself from Kit Fox Outfitters and I might do a review on it once I put it through its paces.
You can check out the Woobie Hoodie at PerseveranceSurvival.com.
5col Survival Supply is developing a survival kit designed specifically to fit the Hill People Gear Kit Bag. The kit features quality components from Solkoa Survival Systems, Aquamira, UCO, and more. Given the versatile load carrying capability of the Kit Bag and it’s ability to stay with the wearer even when they have to drop their pack, I am surprised there hasn’t been other similar kits developed.
Stay tuned for additional details.
