Custom Gear Report

Looks like the folks at the ITS Tactical blog are giving away a free t-shirt from M855 Designs, A pretty damn cool shirt I might add. Check it out, and be sure to check out their contest rules. I put my hat in.

As an FYI we will be running similar giveaways, however we will primarily be using Twitter to run the contest so sign up for our Twitter feed if you haven’t already. More details on the way in the coming weeks.

Here is a sneak peak of the first of several morale patch designs we are moving forward with.

All our future patches will be listed in store under the “Misc” category under Morale Patches.

The order has been placed and we should have them in stock in a couple weeks.

We also have plans for related t-shirts and other items through a print on demand service. More to follow on that…

Let us know what you think.

Well we’ve been slacking here at the Custom Gear Report, gonna try to get things moving along again.

There are some products on the way to us from our friends at 215 Gear and we’ll be posting announcements for those as well as uploading some product review videos.

With that said, this blog is highly dependent on the community to feed us information. If you are a gear maker please contact us with any information about your company, products, or services. We are here to help you get the word out and don’t mind being used in that capacity.

Likewise if you’re a reader and aware of something that may fit the theme of the blog please let us know.

This might be a bit confusing, I recorded it after I had already finished the Go Gear belt review. Just wanted to provide a preface on how I am going about doing my reviews.

Jerry, from Olongapo Outfitters has put together a very simple yet functional “Grab and Go” ammo bandolier. He’s made several different versions for everything from your traditional M4/M16 to an M1 Garand. Price Range is $40-$50 depending on configuration.

At initial glace this reminds me of a modern day version of a cartridge box or shot pouch and powder horn that would hang behind a minuteman’s door ready to be thrown over his shoulder on the way out of the house. Some more current applications might be by a soldier’s bed side, a patrolman’s trunk or behind the door of a prepared citizen.

Jerry is a Veteran of the USMC and served as an 0311, aka Infantry Rifleman for those of you not in the know. So it goes without saying he understands the quality needed for hard use tactical gear, as he has said to me “durability is key”. Jerry tells me he uses all mil-spec materials and construction techniques and stands behind his gear 100%.

If you are interested in contacting Olongapo Outfitters you can do so at the following email address jerryd1235[AT]gmail.com

He is putting a couple together for us to do a formal review but until then here are some pics.
