Gear Dynamics is a custom gear shop located in beautiful British Columbia, Canada which has been building up a growing legion of fans on their Facebook page – and its easy to see why…

This is their new “Aggressor Gun Belt“.  The Aggressor Gun Belt is designed to be a low profile, light-weight load bearing belt. Due to its HDPE core and strategic padding, the belt is rigid enough to support equipment but remains comfortable to wear for extended periods. The Aggressor Gun Belt utilizes an AustriAlpin Cobra buckle that’s offset to keep the front of the belt as flat as possible. The belt also includes two removable elastic webbing loops for strap management and overlap support.

Its available to order in GreenZone™, BadLands™, SandStorm™ and SnowDrift™ and costs $70 CAD.

Gear Dynamics has also produced a prototype “Micro Chest Rig” which is small in size but big in functionality.

Already in use with European military and law enforcement special operations units, UF PRO is now offering their innovative, purpose-designed and built “Silent Warrior” Sniper Suit on the open market too.

silent_warrior_sniper_smockThe UF PRO® Silent Warrior Sniper Suit is designed to fulfill the highly demanding requirements of professional scouts and snipers.  As the functional, camouflaged outer-layer of a multiple-layer garment system, it has to provide all the specific features to support the user’s role;  it has to protect against the ingress of insects; and it has to provide superb camouflage and concealment performance in the visual and near-Infra-Red spectrum.

512-8-c7d0a788134f2626As the Silent Warrior suit is worn as an over garment it is tailored with a looser cut than UF PRO’s Striker XT BDU system, so that it can be easily adjusted to fit over different base, insulation, and wet weather protection layers.

Our friends from SCDTV have published a gallery of photos where you can see a bunch of nice gear from Applied Orange, Wisport, Stronghold Group, Survivaltech.pl, SAGear, and Splinter Custom Ghillie – all put through its paces in the woods by Dudek and Irek of SCDTV.

10429464_753249878072698_6361511765745107046_nWhat the gallery also does really well to provide a good direct comparison between PenCott-GreenZone and MultiCam Tropic.  This is the first time we’ve seen anybody do such a direct side-by-side comparison.

The MPIL MK1 however, is extremely packable and lightweight – which makes it far more practical and convenient to use as an individual signal panel.

305548_407476665942523_965269732_nSpecial Features:

  • Gutted 550 cord loops on each corner to secure the marker panel to a surface
  • 2″x2″ IR square will be available as a drop-down menu option when ordering (US orders only; ITAR restricted item)
  • Packable and lightweight, the Marker Panel, Individual, LW easily stores in your shoulder or calf pocket – also a perfect fit in an admin/utility pouch

1535701_655568584466662_1421825278_nBattle Systems LLC is two infantry Marine veterans; 0331 and 0351. They design and make products intended for infantry use based on their combined experience of 6 deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, international training operations, stateside schools, and cadre experience at the USMC Mountain Warfare Training Center.

The Marker Panel, Individual, LW is ideal for civilian applications as well. Stow an MPIL in your backpacking/adventure gear as part of your signal/survival kit.  As seen below on the top of Mt. Baker, WA. (10,781 ft).

If you’re trekking in the alpines or the lowlands and anywhere in between, you should definitely have a proper signaling contingency. Achieving this with the most compact, lightweight package possible is what the MPIL System is all about.
