Please be aware that our website is getting a face lift. :cool:
The shopping cart is working fine however the look of the site may be a little wonky this weekend.
I spoke with RSM Semenko on the phone and his reasons for approving the rigs he did were:
(his words not mine so do not debate me on the reasoning)
1) They look very similar to the issue vest which is important for recognition
2) Chest rigs are too front heavy and the ones approved are more...
We looked at another style of these which retails for around $10,000 a unit, and you still have to get someone up top first to attach the rope.
The problem is for the amount it will be used.........
I've shown this is true, do mine not count?
How many different types of boots and glasses were tested? Why did we not end up with the best?
Why the need for a trial if it's already been proven in combat or has NIJ ratings etc. The LE agencies don't test the plates and helmets that I sell...
Global Armour which supplies my company is one of the few not attached to Armour Holdings. (thank god)
Armour Holdings goes through R Nicholls which.................. Sorry almost got carried away again.
Tender for 3L Bladders and Carrier out today.
Lowest bidder.
Oh and it must be the exact style that DND has already purchased, which kinda limits your bidders as well.
I've seen a few of these for LE agencies and basically you get points for the products performance between the min and max...
I'll be interested to see what happens.
edited to add: This one came out today:
Very detailed specs as well so even if there is something better, it won't be accepted.
Can't say how many RFP's I've seen as it's not just DND stuff I look at. I get only about 5% of the stuff I carry from a...
So how many years apart were the two ballistic vests made? There has been a huge advancement in armour in that time period .
The conversation with the company went something like this...?
"Yes, our soldiers are saying the 30yr old armour is to bulky and stiff so we want to down grade the...
It is still the lowest compliant bidder. Unless of course I've been reading all the tenders wrong that come out. ::)
Which means as long as the item complies with the specs that are written, then it comes down to the cheapest.
Now the key is, who is writting the specs, and what are they...
Yup, we have a couple of Ranger Green ones in stock.
And talked with TAG yesterday and the Cadpat RAID packs should be done anytime now!!!!!!! ;D
You can't go wrong with Kevins either as they will last.
We talk guys out of buying armour if they are going overseas as said above, they will be wearing what is issued.
That said, I do know of a few guys who are wearing their own helmets over there however this is very rare, and most will not be allowed to.
Most family purchases for soldiers are...
I spoke with Airborne trials here in Trenton last year about approving the BLSS system for jumping. They will not approve anything unless it is purchased by, and submitted by a unit.
Yeah, Colt Canada won't be making it anytime soon, just ask them there thoughts on it, (unbiased of course ;D)
Some who worked on the 416 compliment Colt/Diemaco on have the best direct gas version.
This pouch I have shown will work on a drop leg or a vest or anywhere else there is MOLLE. It does have a DL panel that will fit a modular holster as well.
I have seen the TCCC pouch you're speaking of and again it doesn't even come close to this one for quality or effectiveness.
