TAD Gear Ranger Eyes

Posted in EQUIPMENT, Illumination on August 5th, 2006 by Militarymoron

These are TAD Gear’s Ranger Eyes; cool little glow-in-the-dark skulls that can be used the same way luminous tape is used on USGI helmet bands with cat eyes – for identification at night.

The Ranger eyes are 0.75″ X 0.64″, and molded out of flexible PVC. The black base has hook velcro sewn onto the back, with the luminous TAD “Terminator Skull” logo molded as part of the base. They can be attached anywhere you’ve got loop velcro – packs, shoulders, caps, helmets etc. If you want to have the ability to hide them without having to take them on and off every time, an option is to get one of EMDOM USA’s ID Marker Panels (shown in the bottom right photo). It has two little velcro panels that fold down or up to show or hide whatever ID patch you put on the panels.

EMDOM USA Recon Waist Pack

Posted in Emdom, EQUIPMENT on August 2nd, 2006 by Militarymoron

Recon Waist Pack – I’ve been using a prototype version of this waist pack since late last year. In fact, some of you noticed it sneak into some of my photos (see below) in other reviews and inquired about it. Well, it’s finally in production. Sure, there are other waist packs out there, but in true EMDOM fashion, the Recon Waist pack has a few more features/details that set it apart from the rest.

Overall profile is of a wedge from the side, and upside-down trapezoid from the front, instead of a rectangular blocky shape. Worn in front, in the back or on the side, it’s a relatively streamlined shape. It’s more roomy than it looks. The pack body is 10″ at its widest point at the top, and 7″ tall. It’s 4″ deep at it’s deepest point at the top of the wedge. The zippered access main compartment has an elastic top mesh pocket on the inside for organization, and 550 cord loops for dummy cords. On the back of the pack is another zippered compartment, about 7″ x 3.5″ in size. This is useful for flatter items. On the front of the body is an external pouch, approx 6″ x 4″ x 1.5″ in size. Both the main compartment and front pouch have drain grommets at the bottom. All zippers have 550-cord pulls.
