Mail Call: Blue Force Gear
Got a pretty big mail call from Blue Force Gear. Some pouches and a new wallet. Check them out below:
Click on images for hi-res:
-
- ULTRAcomp wallet. The wallet is taller than most but it allows your cards to be more spread apart making it lower profile. Typical wallets are super thick causing discomfort in your rear pocket. This one because it’s so damn thin doesn’t feel like I’m carrying anything at all. It also features a separate pocket for currency
-
- ULTRAcomp wallet. Made from one of the most expensive materials in the industry. Remember how I said I liked the thin profile of their gear? It shines here because I detest thick wallets, especially if stored in a rear pocket
-
- Single Pistol Mag Pouch. This may be the last pistol pouches I buy. The Ultra Comp material makes this pouch unbelievably thin and stronger than Cordura. It may be expensive but damn it’s worth it for the lightweight / thin combo. Great work here by BFG
-
- Ten-Speed horizontal M4 pouch. I personally really dig these pouches mainly because of the compression allowing me to store other items in them
-
- Double M4 Magazine Pouch. The designs aren’t revolutionary but by BFG utilizing their Helium Whisper fastening system and ULTRAcomp material it gives these classic and simple designs a whole new edge. The biggest advantage to me is how low profile these pouches are. I like the weight savings as well but I much more appreciate having extra ammo without the bulk. Besides the ULTRAcomp is just so damn nice.

- Chamber flags. One of those things every firearms owner should have. Prevents booboos
Mail Call: Snake Eater Tactical Chemlight Panel
Mail call Snake Eater Tactical chemlight panel. Easy way to carry extra chemlights on your kit. Likin’ the minimalist designs coming out of them recently. Great kit.
Mail Call: Snake Eater Tactical Battery Keeper
Mail call Snake Eater Tactical CR123 / AA / AAA battery keeper. Great way to organize those loose batteries in your pack / kit. Likin’ the minimalist designs coming out of them.

GWA Crew Visits RE Factor Tactical Denver
Recently we took a trip to Denver, CO and decided to explore nearby tactical manufacturing companies. RE Factor Tactical was a last minute visit but I’m glad we stopped by. They are a newer company but have some fresh ideas they are introducing into the industry.
Big thanks to D-Mart for showing us around, the RE Factor team rocks.
The Newton Bag is featured below in the manufacturing section, check it out in more depth here:

Mail Call: Kitanica All Season Pants
Just received today a pair of the Kitanica All Season Pants in Multicam Black. I have to admit the Multicam Black has grown on me. The pants are simply stunning. I’m a bit of a Kitanica fanboy mainly because their pants fit my frame almost tailored. These are my first pair of utility pants from Kitanica so be on the lookout for a full review soon.
MSRP $229
Made in the USA with USA materials
Mail Call: OPSCORE & Team Wendy Chinstraps
Great options if you’re looking for an upgraded chinstrap. Both the Team Wendy CAM FIT and OPSCORE H-Nape are must upgrades from the standard chinstraps.
