Custom Gear Report

Our first video review. Go Gear’s Half Pint Modular belt.

Just a few notes, as noted in the video I screwed up and said 720 instead of 725 for the fabric, and also gave the wrong web address at the end Paul’s site is http://www.gogeartactical.com

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.

We recieved the brand new Blended Operators Hat from 215 Gear the other day.

Best way to describe this hat is to think Truckers hat meets operators hat. The cut is that of a standard low profile type with loop patches on the front top and back for attachment of IFF or other types of patches. There is not button on the top which often makes wearing hearing protection and communications headsets uncomfortable. The size is adjusted by the hook and loop strap in the back.

Underneath the visor there is a hook compatable material to assist in cutting out glare as well as providing a platform to mount small Photon type lights.

The most unique feature is the replacement of the normally solid cloth side panels with mesh. This greatly enhances the air circulation and provides for a truely unique piece of headgear.

We made an announcement last week about the Grab and Go by Olongapo Outfiters. We just received two of them for review.

Our impression is that they are extremely well made. Attention to detail is maintained throughout. Stitch lines are even and consistent with properly reinforced stress points. Each compartment has a drain hole with a properly set grommet to include a nylon webbing backer which will prevent the grommet from popping out. Design and assembly is well thought out to prevent unnecessary over stitching. All materials are high quality. The individual pouches have a 1″ elastic tension band that keep everything snug. Each Pocket holds 2 mags for a total of 8.

There is plenty of room for adjustment of the carry strap. When slung over the shoulder the bag rides comfortably.

The Coyote M1A/FAL version also fits HK91 Mags I’ve also noticed that you can use this one for AR/M16/M4 mags, the flaps catch the top half of the loop patch on mage with Ranger Plates.

The MultiCam AR/M16/M4 version has fairly long flaps long enough that they fit 30 Round AK mags perfectly. and are somewhat long when used with AR/M16/M4 mags even with ranger plates. P-Mags Fit without issue. I spoke to Jerry about the pouch flap length and he mentioned he’s considering shortening them up a bit, I think it would be a good idea.
