For ponchos and tarps take a look at Integral Designs. I have one of their sil ponchos for day hike type stuff just in case I need shelter but mainly use the 8x10 tarp in Multicam on my ruck for biv...

Another easier fix is to just jam the ends in your pockets. This is my donning and doffing solution

Velcro one-wrap material is good or what I use is an elastic webbing loop and just accordion fold the extra waistbelt webbing and tuck.

Hey guys,

My show and tell, and biased soliciting of Kifaru gear has had a couple of my guys asking for E&E's; specifically G1's as top loaders work best for our use.

If you are considering...

Grizz

All of the above will fit. It is 2 channels by 5 rows in size for the sides; and 6 channels by 5 rows on the face.
As for which pouches; depends on what you want to put in there. Skinny...

Ryan,

It is not so much for rain; but think of either laying in snow for a few hours or throwing a ruck in the water for swimming. I almost always have my main bag and all pockets with dry-bags...

Anyone tried it/or thoughts?

Hey guys.

I am considering cutting out (carefully) the 500 pack cloth on the front and rear panels of my LP's. They are top-zip hybrids.
Main reason for this isn't the weight (as it's hardly...

For a packthe standard TT is good to go. But if you want something that can go on a vest or even something that you can attatch shoulder straps to my reccomendationisthe SKD PiG carrier. A little...

Update

Just got my Mollex in the mail. Doesn't have the contoured pocket lid though.

Mel, how/when do inline changes take effect?

Pretty disappointing to hear. Especially for all those guys who aren't in units that do not have the funding to do unit orders, now won't be able to do a personal purchase. What about just offering...

No worries. Doing that also leave the face of the pack free to have a Grab-it that can be used if needed (jackets, etc).

fulbert,

A suggestion for hiking around with the Marauder/E&E all loaded up like that. Just move your female buckles for the E&E to the top pod points on the Marauder and rock it on top. Not a...

Another option you can look at is the Timberlines. A Zulu or ZXR with all the extra pockets is going to start adding up the base weight of your ruck fast (those pockets are all 1000d and have 500...

Another option and will/should be able to fit is:

It is from Alaska so I don't know if...

Mine seem alright so far. Have them on the cummerbunds each side and up on the chest/bib area. Light, and lay flat when not being used which is a plus.

Oh and straps,
That Blue Force Gear pouch rocks. Not sure if you have one yet but I have mine at the 6 position on the battle belt and it's effing awesome. Should be a good fit on the Xing. ...

Another decent looking pouch is the Fight and Flight Tactical pouches. While falling into yet another "Google Hole" looking for Mollex stuff I found them via Jerking the Trigger (blog/review site?)....

Sweet! My Mollex is shipping in a couple weeks so looking forward to see how it looks.

Or unless Crye's new pattern is more appealing...

Agreed though hopefully Kifaru gets on board with the Murdock webbing. My HSGI stuff has it and seems way more durable/color lasting than the...

Murdock webbing IS a unicorn!!


And congrats Straps. Your Multicam Cargo Panel as a giveaway???? Kidding...but only sorta...

Roger to all your replies guys.

For myself, the use of the Mollex as a full on patrol pack will be limited; weather and average temperature up here still requires a full size ruck when doing that...

Good day Guys,

After all the build up, time spent, drooling, picture gazing, screen licking, it has come down to this.
In response to the new Kifaru Xing/Loco 2013 release pack choosing, I sold...

Just wanted to bump this;

Does anyone have any updates as to the results? Did a quick search on the way home today but did not find any new information.

So if you have heard anything...let us...
