Old vs New

Looking back at an old post I made, I realised I need to do an update in the gear I use.

I will do this in a 3 part series, showing my first, second and third line.

A bit different than last time, I will now explain why I run certain things the way I do.

Reason for that is the many questions I get about my setup via DM on IG.

If you want to learn more about some setups and the reason “why”: check out @ blakewater0326 on Instagram. He has an amazing series called kit-siderations, talking about plate carrier, chest rig, belt, pack, helmet and weapons setups.

This series will be my overview and the “why” behind my setup.

Please not that this will be specific to my role. JTAC supporting a conventional and mostly motorized unit.

Line 1: clothing and belt: survival and E&E.

Line 2: plate carrier and backpanel: execute the mission

Line 3: pack and vehicle: sustainability equipment

British Tactical

Gear companies – Every day a new one emerges and another dies down.

From time to time you find a manufacturer that provides quality gear for a decent price. Even rarer is finding such a manufacturer that also has a good customer service. If you’re very lucky, that company let’s you customize the product using several options. That company is British Tactical.

The company reached out to me trough Spotter Up to test out some of their new products. Looking over their website and reading the reviews, I was intrigued. A British company that makes everything in the UK, has several types of pouches I’ve been looking for and hadn’t found before, options and attachments to their pouches,… great!

They also started working together with FLIMMUUR Tactical for the new range HORIZON Laminate. definitely worth checking out.

After some time-delay because of bigger and more important orders than a tiny reviewer, I received a big box of gear. Over the next several weeks, I will review these items.

On this post I will bundle all the different reviews:
