The Minuteman Plate Carrier is an affordable plate carrier with a dash of Arbor Arms innovation and quality. It features a full laser-cut PALS panel on the front with loop Velcro for securing items like ID, patches, placards, and chest rigs. The rear plate bag is slick with loop Velcro at the top.
The Minuteman Plate Carrier comes with a simple webbing cummerbund on its most affordable iteration. However, the user can select from a number of upgraded cummerbunds at the point of purchase.
Arbor Arms has launched a new medical line. The line includes two sizes of medical specific Nut Rucks and an entirely new pouch attachment matrix of their own design called Check-Mate.
Introducing Arbor Arms Medical Nut Rucks in two models, the Standard and the Plus this is also the introduction of our new mounting system Check-Mate™.
Like all our Nut Rucks, the Medical Nut Rucks can be worn with the removable waist strap, attached with side release buckles directly to your belt system , or with our First Spear Tube Hanger attachment.
Check-Mate™ allows for attachment over every square inch of the mating surface in both the horizontal and vertical orientations using the included elastic loops in 3 sizes and locked in with our proprietary locking bars, additionally Velcro one-wraps can be used for items such as rolls of medical tape etc.
Standard is designed to accommodate the contents of the US Army issue IFAK and the Plus is designed to accommodate contents of the USMC issue IFAK with room for a few additional items.
External – It has built in attachments for all 4 methods of use. The front has a 3×5 inch loop panel for medical patches or kill numbers. On the back of both models is the integrated two in one pocket for trauma shears and gloves, two grommet drain holes on the bottom allow the use of our Multi Mode Tourniquet attachment and web loop anchors on both sides allow the addition of 1 or 2 S-Biners.
Internal – Both the Standard and Plus have one Check-Mate™ panel on the body side that creates a flat pouch for chest seals, occlusive dressings, triage cards, 9 lines or any other flat items. This also allows for the addition of our soft armor insert for additional NIJ level IIIA abdominal protection for the wearer.
The Standard and Plus models differ in the front panel, the Standard has a streamlined flat panel with a 4 way stretch pocked on the inside that will hold additional flat items but can also stretch and accommodate additional gauze or other items. The Plus has a second Check-Mate™ panel and additional depth. The front Check-Mate™ panel also creates a second flat pocket for additional flat items or front load chest seals etc. All the pockets on both models are oriented vertically so items are securely stowed even when the flap is open.

Arbor Arms just released their Tradesman Multi-Role Pack. Those of you with a long memory will no doubt recognize the resemblance of this pack to the Ares Armor XII Combat Pack. There is good reason for that. The new Tradesman was designed by the same gear designer and it offers a number of improvements.
In basic terms, the Tradesman Multi-Role Pack is an assault pack. It is designed to carry items like spare ammo, medical kit, hydration packs, and more. What differentiates the Tradesman Multi-Role Pack from other assault packs is a host of modular accessories and easy, external access to the magazines.
Like the Combat XII Pack before it, the Tradesman Multi-Role Pack has integrated magazine pouches that are accessible from outside the pack. These can be configured with bungee retainers, individual accessory flaps, or a single large accessory flap for use with LMG magazines. The magazine pouches can accept 5.56, 7.62, and various AK magazines in addition to blowout kits when used with the accessory flaps.
The Tradesman can be docked directly to a plate or armor carrier with one of two methods depending on the type of carrier used. It also has simple straps for use as a stand-along pack and optional enhanced strap pads that make it more comfortable to carry as a stand-alone pack.
The sides of the Tradesman pack can accept a number of accessories that extend the functionality of the pack. There are accessory Multi-Function Pouches that may be used for carrying more ammo or other items. Cinch Straps may be purchased and used to secure long items to the side of the pack. Arbor Arms will also offer a Breacher’s Quiver specifically for carrying a breaching shotgun on the side of the pack.
This pack has a ton of features. You can see additional images and learn more at ArborArmsUSA.com.
Whiskey Two-Four’s proprietary ACRONYM laminate material is available in M81 and Arbor Arms recently put that fact to good use. They created some custom Tradesman SALT Belts. In one cool product you have modern materials and construction methods like laser cut laminate material right along side a classic camo pattern. It’s a good time to be a gear head!
If you want something like this, it might require some leg work. This was a completely custom project but the materials are available. Maybe you could sweet talk your way into one.
