5.11-TACTICAL Trainer belt

Details

Category: Belts

Created: Sunday, 15 April 2007 04:53

The trainer belt is a solid BDU style belt with a custom harness adapter (metal hardware) instead of the usual surplus one. A generous portion of velcro allows for ease in adjustability and security of your extra slack. The end has been rounded off and coated or heat treated so it won't fray. This particular belt is fairly flexible for comfort and is 1.5" wide while the 5.11 Operator belt is 1.75" wide and more stiff. Although mostly meant for holding up your pants, if it came down to it, this belt could withstand the user's full body weight and then some.

5.11-TACTICAL Tac-A Glove

Details

Category: Gloves

A medium weight glove, these are more padded than most of the shooter gloves I have used. They aren't very tactile due to the padding, however the padding makes them more comfy for hard contact applications. A free silver caraibineer comes with the packaging to assist with connecting gloves to yourself when not in use. On that note the pull tabs work great for assisting in putting the gloves on and also for having a connection point. They work pretty well for rifles, however when using pistols the thumb seam is unfortunately where I press the mag release making it more difficult.

5.11-TACTICAL Response Jacket

This is just a quick overview with updates to come. From my use so far I find this jacket to be a great lightweight windbreaker. It really makes a difference on those days that aren't really that cold, but have rampant wind. The hand pockets are zippered and I like the chest area velcro side opening pockets a lot. Extra side pockets are in the interior of the jacket. Now what sets this jacket apart from others is that it can go from a very casual looking jacket to an organization jacket using the removeable and concealable ID pannels.

MAXPEDITION Keyper:

DIM: 4.25" x 1"
The keyper is a heavy duty snap hook attachment for most belts. Made of mostly 2 layers of 43668 style webbing and velcro, it is simple, but effective. The velcro closure allows resizing for belt sizes and an inner velcro square will keep the keyper to stay put when using belts with velcro already on them. Both the hook and beefy key ring that is included have a nice scratch resistant black finish. Great for keys and gloves, one could also easily attach the keyper to gear with PALS webbing.

MAXPEDITION Liger Gun Belt:

Category: Belts

The Liger Gun Belt is a great example of Maxpedition's many unique products. Combining a sleek look and military functionality makes this belt great for duty belt functionality with casual belt looks. The main strap of the belt is made from Ligerthane which possesses over 2,000 lbs of tensile strength with over 300 lbs of hole pull strength. The highly abrasion-resistant polyurethane coating makes the belt totally impervious to salt water, blood, mildew, mold, rot and resistant to many common solvents. Ligerthane is a good balance of flexibility, yet stiff enough to be used as a gun/duty belt.
