Tank Vest
Sunday, August 26th, 2012
The Tank Vest is a modular, PALS webbing based storage system that allows users to attach MOLLE and ALLICE gear to their motorcycle to improve storage capacity. Tank Vests are made from 1000 denier Cordura nylon and uses a system of military grade straps and synthetic buckles to attach to the tank frame. This separates the Tank Vest from other storage options that use magnets or require drilling into the bike’s frame. A feature also unique to the Tank Vest is it fits around the gas cap, negating the need to remove the vest during refueling. Currently, Tank Vests are being made for Kawasaki KLR650, KTM950/990 Adventure motorcycles, some models of Harley Davidson, the XR650R, and the Boulevard 800, with a vest for the Vstrom 1000 coming out mid-September; more models are being made based on customer demand.
The Tank Vest is available in the following colors: Black, Coyote Brown, Woodland MARPAT, ACU, MultiCam, OD Green, and Safety Orange.

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012
Designed by Patrick Jouffret of Agency 360, a French design studio
in collaboration with engineer Philippe Arrouart, the Overade is a bicycle helmet designed to fold into a compact shape when not in use, for easy storage in a bag or backpack. It also offers the same level of protection as a standard bicycle helmet. The goal of its design was to create a portable helmet that would encourage more cyclists to wear them. Prototypes for the Overade have existed since 2010, but commercial production is expected later this year.

Ares Armor Company Promo Video
Sunday, July 31st, 2011This excellent promo vid by Ares Armor Company showcases their products not by blatantly stating their intended uses, but by getting out in the field and using them. Ares’s full range of slings, packs, rigs and the EFFIN-A compensator are featured in full force, but not by name, forcing curious viewers to actually search for the items, which potentially drums up more interest. A smart move on Ares’s part that sets a new standard for promo vids.

Blackhawk! Advanced Boonie Hat
Friday, May 13th, 2011
It’s the classic Boonie hat design, but with a few modern features added by Blackhawk! to appeal to the modern warrior. The hat itself is 50/50 NYCO with a self fabric brim lining and self fabric side-band branch loops. It includes mesh side vents and crown lining, and a hidden mesh map pocket. A square VELCRO loop on the crown allows for attachment of badges and other materials, and a drawstring with rear cordlock can be used as a chinstrap or cinching cord. The DM3 Desert Digital camo model is shown above, but MultiCam is also available, which I happen to own. It’s a very good Boonie, although I suggest going a half-size above what you normally wear for a hat, otherwise it could be a bit tight.
Advanced Outfitters Badge Sling
Monday, May 9th, 2011
One of the best things about attending a floor show is wearing a media badge. And one of the best things about wearing a media badge is accompanying it with a great sling. In comes the Advanced Outfitters Badge Sling. Although info is very sparse at the moment, you can bet I’ll be keeping my eye out for this if and when it become available.
Update: Will be available at Blade Show for $12 each. Will be available for retail after that.
MultiCam Motorcycle Helmet
Monday, May 9th, 2011
Birddog1911, a member of HDfourms.com, decided to paint his motorcycle helmet in MultiCam using Duracoat paint. It’s a damn fine job, and personally I’d like to know the colors used. I have quite a few things I’d like to Crye-up, and finding the proper colors has been a pain.
More images can be seen here.
