If you saw my last post (<a href="http://cqbradio.blogspot.com/2015/03/what-to-bring-to-airsoft-game-vism.html" target="_blank">click HERE to see all the gear I bring to an airsoft event</a>), you'll know that I always like to carry my gear in a few bags to keep myself and it safe. <br /><br />Today, we look at another bag. This is the <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/defcon-war-dog-aeg-gun-rifle-bag-black.html" target="_blank">DEFCON War Dog AEG Gun Rifle Bag</a> (CLICK on the name to see it over at Airsplat.com - our supporter for this post and a generous supporter of CQB Radio.). Now while this bag is capable to holding an M4, an MP5, or other AEGs, I am using it carry my gear. I leave out my chest rig and I store by AEG in a Condor Rifle Bag, but everything else goes into this bag.<br /><br />So here's a look at the DEFCON bag all packed up with my canteen attached to the outside. </div>

<br />And here are some specs on the bag:<br />- A link to the bag on the DEFCON site is <a href="http://www.defcongear.com/products/war-dog-pack" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />- Size: 22x7 or 34x7 (when expanded)<br />- Pockets hold 3 AK mags or 6 MP5 mags and many other mags of course<br />- MOLLE all over<br />- Sling can be adjusted to both sides<br />- And much more...read on<br /><br />Here's a look inside. Yup, a large main compartment and then smaller mesh pockets (with zips) inside the main compartment.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />The strap has a clip to hold keys or other gear. And yes, another pocket inside the main section.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiC5lJLDVXo7JOcIKpMuOuGgiovmfqdCBLomeOt9vYXqFXTjfFvtav-qW8sAA-Xs9x64c6Sbs9HlNphyphenhyphenkWE9CLpszyfezeOkkGTV_hobI2Thi3EzZHEtFklJVmFBT8WAjpTk6hks7NkjuJ/s1600/IMG_6930.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiC5lJLDVXo7JOcIKpMuOuGgiovmfqdCBLomeOt9vYXqFXTjfFvtav-qW8sAA-Xs9x64c6Sbs9HlNphyphenhyphenkWE9CLpszyfezeOkkGTV_hobI2Thi3EzZHEtFklJVmFBT8WAjpTk6hks7NkjuJ/s1600/IMG_6930.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />Now one of the cool things about this bag is that you can unzip the top section to expand out the bag to hold more gear or your AEG.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY7ofyTmG1SeDJBhKvvLMTsrwks5k0YGIujhvZV0ypoF51OlbuyRnm2kI4cHyy5RSz1o7izeLOutXzf0D9zU3aDydpHQNO1JKc5Z5yB3DXnkkgruZda2lIpofCwq6OfvIzXbsQRnVy8qpY/s1600/IMG_6931.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY7ofyTmG1SeDJBhKvvLMTsrwks5k0YGIujhvZV0ypoF51OlbuyRnm2kI4cHyy5RSz1o7izeLOutXzf0D9zU3aDydpHQNO1JKc5Z5yB3DXnkkgruZda2lIpofCwq6OfvIzXbsQRnVy8qpY/s1600/IMG_6931.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />Here's a look at it with the sling out of the way.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2XWUDj7DrawshCwuIWE_O75TQx0C3l25LoDmk0Fw7R7uNCBNuTCSQxurXff0QZb_xwgUs4osqo1UKs6r_3nj7lJ_I7DVossVnXaS6JRkcdvwAjS0GbGt89GsxT21x1q-HeVaniYLcpfkM/s1600/IMG_6932.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2XWUDj7DrawshCwuIWE_O75TQx0C3l25LoDmk0Fw7R7uNCBNuTCSQxurXff0QZb_xwgUs4osqo1UKs6r_3nj7lJ_I7DVossVnXaS6JRkcdvwAjS0GbGt89GsxT21x1q-HeVaniYLcpfkM/s1600/IMG_6932.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />And here's what the sling looks like. Cool feature - you can attach it to either side of the bag at the bottom depending on how you like to roll.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3ZifikL9eQUQiC7yX0qPtfRicaz15GI8F_l2iuiUW-5thepDCozPErLEE7LrTrDSXLsa-iwH46yCJlOKqfjHCuECNsgsRPVc9rKKwmlZyy1XLOMgnOl-akqirbXnUl2XP0RQrWzIp_FJ/s1600/IMG_6933.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3ZifikL9eQUQiC7yX0qPtfRicaz15GI8F_l2iuiUW-5thepDCozPErLEE7LrTrDSXLsa-iwH46yCJlOKqfjHCuECNsgsRPVc9rKKwmlZyy1XLOMgnOl-akqirbXnUl2XP0RQrWzIp_FJ/s1600/IMG_6933.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />Tuck the unused sling attachment into the pocket at the base of the bag.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Told you - molle all over. And a spot for a patch on the back of the bag.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM-1FOF3WFoJXh0rUD3Q82nE2n96Jx-zBywamLvS75ewHQVxZ7PxlYgwIsy87EGdW5tRWxy_SEdvO9KJErQ82_mwmvMRWn8xw9LOOwFfFoJxHHWbrNbVRb0SE9d-4Zo5VS1xXaXdHTBMU2/s1600/IMG_6935.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM-1FOF3WFoJXh0rUD3Q82nE2n96Jx-zBywamLvS75ewHQVxZ7PxlYgwIsy87EGdW5tRWxy_SEdvO9KJErQ82_mwmvMRWn8xw9LOOwFfFoJxHHWbrNbVRb0SE9d-4Zo5VS1xXaXdHTBMU2/s1600/IMG_6935.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />Looking at the top - more patch space.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Here it is from the side. This thing held ALL the gear that the VISM bag (from my last post) held. And it's comfortable to carry.<br />

<br />Slick bag - and you get it in tan as well. Again, here's the link (<a href="http://www.airsplat.com/defcon-war-dog-aeg-gun-rifle-bag-black.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a>). <br />Over the last 2 posts you've seen 2 ways to carry your gear to ops. One more coming soon!<br />Thanks to Airsplat for supporting this review and be safe.<br /><br />Keep on firin',<br />Carp <br />

</div>
So I talked to Airsplat about putting together a series of posts about what you can/should pack for an airsoft game. In this post, I'll show you what I bring and also how I take it to the event. You'll see that I use a few different bags/transport options for my gear but let me emphasize that you MUST BE SAFE! Carry your airsoft gun IN A BAG. It's dangerous for you and bad for airsoft if you don't. (Ok - rant ended). Let's get on with this post. <br />
<br />
You'll need a gun. Here's my AEG with some mags and then my secondary with a mag. I carry them in a <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/condor-molle-42-rifle-bag-pouch-acu.html" target="_blank">Condor 42-inch gun bag.</a> This thing holds my primary (it can hold two M4s pretty easily) and my secondary (it can hold 2-4 easily). It also has 3 detachable pouches on the front to hold mags, green gas, etc. Lots of space - it's keeps you and your AEG safe. <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up, I've got my rig. Pouches for mags and all kinds of other accessories. I've got a dead rag, a bandana to wipe off sweat or to clean my goggles, and also a tactical 'scarf' of sorts. Knee and elbow pads are nice to have as well, and of course, BBs. (Click <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/apparel/ac-vest-rig-pou/ac-app-vest" target="_blank">HERE</a> for options when it comes to vests, chest rigs, etc.) </div>

BDU is next (Click <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/apparel/bdu-sets-uniforms-ghillie-suits" target="_blank">HERE</a> for BDU options). I come to ops in sweat pants or something like that, and then I change into my BDU. Boots with socks (and an extra pair is nice to change into at the end of the day). Water canteen (Camelbacks are good as well). Gloves, sling, speed loader, and some batteries too (yup - I like the old school kind). Lastly, I've got a bag of stuff for cleaning and lubing guns. (My preferred weight BBs can be located <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/b1-b4/0-25g-to-0-28g-airsoft-6mm-bbs" target="_blank">HERE</a>).</div>

A hat and eye pro are next. I've also got a chrono - not needed but a nice addition. I use a headset for comms connected to my radio. Airsoft Innovations grenade and a charger round out this photo (green gas needed FYI).<br />

The bag will run you $40 over at Airsplat. I like it a lot. It has molle all over to attach some additional pouches, and I like the gray color a ton.</div>

<br />Packs. There are lots of them out there. Here's one over at Airsoft Atlanta - it's the Shenzhen Tactical Ambush Pack. Cost is $26.99.<br /><br />
Up top, there's a pocket with MOLLE on it. This offers easy access to the user for a variety of smaller items.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho3zAnL7bATKSfDj3Ig3mm8XUtTyA_dUpDeV33_GDaehg0TYwgHMW1XA3YL6XEI66uggFKDGZoFdz5-LXAafI2RSccrVYEOhFYHBAHW0XkPjhQEvNHARl23kjk2IWmHSVQSpF9SuxPM7Oa/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho3zAnL7bATKSfDj3Ig3mm8XUtTyA_dUpDeV33_GDaehg0TYwgHMW1XA3YL6XEI66uggFKDGZoFdz5-LXAafI2RSccrVYEOhFYHBAHW0XkPjhQEvNHARl23kjk2IWmHSVQSpF9SuxPM7Oa/s1600/008.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

There's also another small zippered compartment on the front of the pack here - more storage.<br /><br />

I like this as it make access quick and easy - you're not fiddling with a ton of different straps, snaps, etc. <br /><br /><br />

<br />The straps are comfortable. They aren't something I'd want to wear all day long with 20 lbs. in the bag, but they are comfortable and adjustable. D-rings allow for you to connect some gear to them as well, and the included sternum strap gives you even more control when you are wearing it. <br /><br />

<br />There's padding and channeling for both comfort and airflow. If you are airsofting in the summer or hotter months, this will help you to stay a bit cooler when hauling your gear around.<br /><br />

Just to give you a sense, here's a look at a ton of MOLLE webbing that is available to you on this pack. This thing'll take pouches galore!<br />

Now I realize that Condor is kind of the standard for backpacks in airsoft. BUT I'd highly encourage you to consider this one. It's got (as you saw) a lot of storage, the built seems pretty solid, and it's under $30. Here's the link - check it out: <a href="http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/Shenzhen-Tactical-Ambush-Backpack-p/34180.htm" target="_blank">GET THIS PACK OVER AT AIRSOFT ATLANTA.</a></div>

<br />Why wear gloves? Here are a few reasons:<br />1. It hurts less when you get shot<br />2. You put your hand in an ant nest during an op - less pain if you have gloves on.<br />3. You're crawling over a tree and you rake you hand on something jagged - gloves help protect.<br />4. They look cool<br />5. They don't really hinder your function much<br />6. They look cool<br /><br />Here are the specs on these gloves:<br />- Hook and Loop closure<br />- Spandex nylon back<br />- Cool VT logo and bones imprints<br />- Synthetic leather palm<br />- Quick-drying material<br /><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe it's at your local CQB facility. Maybe it's at the ops you go to each month. Maybe it's even for something like the Lion's Claw Series. Or maybe you are thinking about starting your own airsoft field. Whatever it is - you want to start officiating. So what gear do you need?<br />
<br />
For me, there are 3 main areas to consider when it comes to be an airsoft official: safety, visibility, and gear you'll need - and <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/" target="_blank">Airsplat </a>can cover it all for you. Let's start off talking about safety and visibility. These 2 are linked because if you can't be seen, if you look like another player sneaking around in the woods, you are likely to get shot, and you are also likely (once you are shot) to be distracted from taking care of your officiating duties.<br />
<br />
That said, you'll need to be safe and seen. If you are looking for a full-face mask, this one is my favorite. It's going to be a little warmer than some others, but it is stinkin' cool. It's Snake Eyes, people - it's gotta be cool. Here's the link: <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/items/AC-APP-MSK-SNKE.htm" target="_blank">SNAKE EYES MASK.</a></div>

<br />
Now if you aren't going to run with a full mask, I'd recommend you use full-seal goggles and some sort of lower-face guard as well. These goggles from Bobster are a nice option. They come with 2 lenses and as you can see, these ones are tinted to make it a little easier on your eyes during the day.

When it comes to lower-face coverage, there are 2 schools of thought. One says wear mesh because its cooler and the mesh is metal, thus begin safer. The downside to these kinds of masks is that if a BB shattes, it can get through the mask. The other school of thought is wearing some sort of neoprene. The good part about this kind is that they are full-coverage of your lower face. The downside is that since its right against your face, any hits will sting a bit more. My preference is for the mesh kind both because of the protection and the breathability. Here's one from Bravo: <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/items/AC-APP-TGMASK-G.htm" target="_blank">BRAVO LOWER FACE MASK</a>.<br />

If you want to be extra cautious (read: smart), I'd also recommend some neck protection. All you need is a SAW gunner to think you're in the game as OPFOR and get lit up in the neck. A nice, light-weight option is this Condor Airsoft Sniper Multi-Wrap. It's not super heavy but if you get it around your neck, you've got some extra protection.

On to hand protection. Once again, Airsplat has a lot, but I think these from Voodoo Tactical are cool looking and with the orange, they will make you stand out a bit. They are also a little more maneuverable than some other gloves so you can operate a radio or other kit more easily. Check them out here:<br />

When it comes to your upper body, I think this is the area where visibility is most vital. Here's a great option - this high-vis sweatshirt. Now, given it may be too hot to wear this some part of the year, but at least here in New England where we play in the spring and fall, this would be money. And if you are playing at an indoor CQB facility that has air conditioning, this is worth considering. Also, you can get it as a hoode with or without the zipper.

Some people like to wear a chest rig or some sort of MOLLE to carry pouches with water bottles, radios, game info, etc. I think this NcSTAR First Responder Bag is a better option. Low-cost and high-value, and it can carry a ton of items while you're officiating. Simple and lots 'o' pockets - check it out: <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/items/AC-APP-NC-2918G.htm" target="_blank">NCSTAR FIRST RESPONDER BAG</a>.</div>

<br />I love me some nice camo, and to be totally honest I was very impressed with how well the Kryptek Mandrake pattern worked in the woods of the North East. You can see in the pictures below, but man - this really blends in nicely. I've always liked my multicam, but this may trump multicam for my local environment.</div>

Some of the details: this is a baseball hat made by Condor and you can find it <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/9326-condor-outdoor-kryptek-mandrake-camouflage-cap-condor-tc-017.aspx" target="_blank">HERE </a>at Airsoft Megastore for $14.95. They also have a very similar version that has mesh on the top/back, so you can check that out as well. <br />
<br />
As far as function...it's a baseball hat, so you should understand what that means - keep sun out of your eyes, give you some camo on your dome, etc.<br />
<br />
As you can see above, I've put an American flag patch on the front and (as you can see below) there is a place for a tiny patch on the top of the hat and also space for a name tag/panel on the back. Your adjustment option is one of those brass slides. <br />

In the trees with leaves, this also works quite well.<br />

I think you can see that this stuff works - Mandrake in the spring in the North East is pretty sweet. You can also get shirts, pants, and even gear in this pattern, and in some of the other Kryptek patterns as well. Once again, you can find it <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/9326-condor-outdoor-kryptek-mandrake-camouflage-cap-condor-tc-017.aspx" target="_blank">HERE</a> over at Airsoft Megastore.

<br />
Today we are looking at the Voodoo Tactical Scorpion Range bag which came to us from Airsplat. You can find it over on their website <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/items/AC-VT-RNGEBAG-T.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> in either Tan or Black. This bag will run your $48 and I have to say, I think that Voodoo Tactical is stepping-up their quality in manufacturing. This bag is really nicely made. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the features:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRs8kTvevzuPDV2cKBd-BxdI1JTqTbjMJ75nxZDe6PF-ALvOQuEoFpEKTb2bGd789RalQ0bH3TVxAFyUIYu2x_K5YSQQE489HqrKZpbamCZXtjZA3ZCV4XFv4F4p7WSfkbqi7Hq0XRNd4F/s1600/2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRs8kTvevzuPDV2cKBd-BxdI1JTqTbjMJ75nxZDe6PF-ALvOQuEoFpEKTb2bGd789RalQ0bH3TVxAFyUIYu2x_K5YSQQE489HqrKZpbamCZXtjZA3ZCV4XFv4F4p7WSfkbqi7Hq0XRNd4F/s1600/2.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As you can see/read, this bag is more than just a standard bail-out bag with a shoulder strap. And as if often the case, it's the smaller features that add up to the big benefits of a bag like this. <br />
<br />
Here's a look at it from another angle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCt7ElDB8fKvE0VplXq0ZLsDJ9UHwBB1CAwEwZw2kM_xz-1Oh3PiYbMEdo3HeCqw5lM4qqbs-cMR-Nzc2sVMBcXR_pNXStNrlNH-RlKyhS09ZuWLt54p_9A7AKDlCnjG3kYOeGepcyyT-_/s1600/3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCt7ElDB8fKvE0VplXq0ZLsDJ9UHwBB1CAwEwZw2kM_xz-1Oh3PiYbMEdo3HeCqw5lM4qqbs-cMR-Nzc2sVMBcXR_pNXStNrlNH-RlKyhS09ZuWLt54p_9A7AKDlCnjG3kYOeGepcyyT-_/s1600/3.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
On the front, we have 2 storage compartments. They are slightly different sizes so you can carry smaller mags, batteries, gas adapters, plugs, dead rags, and much more. You can also see the cross-stitching. Now inside the different squares in the stitching is padding, so this bag offers your gear some additional safety because of the padding.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsO9O5XXu1cWu6tuJI0hefYebNi16PWKqru_dagRIrVRNGVHFYLcBi4Y5R2RhsPpXNAbtvxp0NhuAv3UgNnTbnfRdeoVe7VNyaRrQ10pwG5rU5YTDknClyfF9wqEJdGdRRxl6XZEj4BpSD/s1600/4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsO9O5XXu1cWu6tuJI0hefYebNi16PWKqru_dagRIrVRNGVHFYLcBi4Y5R2RhsPpXNAbtvxp0NhuAv3UgNnTbnfRdeoVe7VNyaRrQ10pwG5rU5YTDknClyfF9wqEJdGdRRxl6XZEj4BpSD/s1600/4.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Open up on of the 3 larger sections, and here's what you see inside. More internal store pockets, places for pens, small flashlights, and the like. You also have a larger section with padding and a velcro pull-over tab where you could store an iPad or a Kindle if you'd like. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8kUopaSZJhJ2w_6OmMWeBb4ta08bRErvgEz_LH7GjxqbDPTUj2RNHxcyIFcRFHkhT1Jq19OZNXHZaLqcUfjjaUlPGarHQLfRWyebDauV6DH-geB4HrqhLTQ8Zw2I8m2M-XLlyfkT4nMyx/s1600/5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8kUopaSZJhJ2w_6OmMWeBb4ta08bRErvgEz_LH7GjxqbDPTUj2RNHxcyIFcRFHkhT1Jq19OZNXHZaLqcUfjjaUlPGarHQLfRWyebDauV6DH-geB4HrqhLTQ8Zw2I8m2M-XLlyfkT4nMyx/s1600/5.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Double-zips are how you open the top to get into the main section. This makes it easier to access all the items easily because there is such a large opening for the bag once you zip it open. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRmqTKzoR8FNeIa3lguncgE-6_1NX2XtYzsifa8Y7IrcrSLVWzSvx4krMt7AgO1SEpW9agO7YATTx2yjcsLOvQC9QjMladus6I24TAbKOGNuD9TZkRa8vUN4pQ6GOEH35_mSMRJgRUac2/s1600/6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRmqTKzoR8FNeIa3lguncgE-6_1NX2XtYzsifa8Y7IrcrSLVWzSvx4krMt7AgO1SEpW9agO7YATTx2yjcsLOvQC9QjMladus6I24TAbKOGNuD9TZkRa8vUN4pQ6GOEH35_mSMRJgRUac2/s1600/6.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Inside...more storage. Looking at the pics below you can see another internal section with a velcro pull-over tab, more elastic to hold mags and then on both ends of the INSIDE of the bag are 2 more pockets. Again I'll note that that one of my favorite features of this bag is that when the main section is open, you can get into easily to get gear out, and when you want to return gear to it, you can do so easily as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
On both ends of the bag are pockets like the one shown below. In my opinion, these are perfect for phone storage when you are at an op or airsoft event.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1pv8mkJgOBk-qKdm-93bQan5tRccvPozm10giFd88B9MX195rvf2RcW5_SDiV_tFjnYdDM58lnlsyOjPHDfsa3iYH6IjosMg7npPuSZwCeSf4Y6wngOHCcMJHCMWXwZkBVNW0YUqgbii3/s1600/9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1pv8mkJgOBk-qKdm-93bQan5tRccvPozm10giFd88B9MX195rvf2RcW5_SDiV_tFjnYdDM58lnlsyOjPHDfsa3iYH6IjosMg7npPuSZwCeSf4Y6wngOHCcMJHCMWXwZkBVNW0YUqgbii3/s1600/9.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Turning to the backside, you can see there is a clear ID pocket so you can let people know this is your bag. More of the same stitching, and up top you can see the 2 carrying handles as well as the shoulder strap (which can be removed if you don't want to use it).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
On the inside of the back panel, there is...more storage. This section has 4 elastics to hold mags - M4s will be fine, AKs will be a bit tight, and things larger than that should just be stored somewhere else in the bag.<br />
<br />

Another feature of this bag that I really, REALLY like are the 4 'feet' shown below. These allow the bag to stand more firmly and they help give the bag more structure and form when you place it down. Well-done Voodoo Tactical.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's the skinny - I'm impressed. Voodoo Tactical has stepped up their game in the last few years as they take their quality to another level. Now as is often the case, many airsoft items are used by real-steel operators or just citizen shooters, and that's the case with this bag. It's made for real-steel but offers (as you have seen) a TON of space to bring your gear to an airsoft event. Other than my BDU, my boots, and my AEG, this will hold what I need to head out for an airsoft op.

Today we are taking a look at the Condor Messenger bag. The official name is the Condor Outdoor Tactical Modular Style Messenger Bag, but most people just call it a messenger bag. You can get it by <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/4523-CONDOR-146-003-Condor-Outdoor-Tactical-Modular-Style-Messenger-Bag-TAN.aspx" target="_blank">CLICKING HERE</a> and heading over to Airsoft Megastore. The cost is $44.95 and having used a variety of Condor gear in my lifetime, I can tell you they continue to improve their quality while keeping the prices very reasonable. </div>
<br />
Here's a look at it.<br />

<br />
Let's start off by saying this bag gives you a variety of possibilities when it comes to use. You can certainly use it at an airsoft event, and down below in this post you can see all the stuff I fit into it. But you can also use it as an everyday bag as it will fit books, pens, an iPad, and much more.<br />

As you can tell from the picture above, there's MOLLE all over the front so if you wanted to, you could even attach a few other small pouches on the outside to store more gear. You also have a velcro patch to attach for favorite patches.<br />

Double-zippers on the front give you access to one of the 3 main pockets. This one is pretty 'flat' so you can carry some items in it, but not a ton. <br />

Here you can see the shoulder strap. It is fully adjustable and if you want to, you can remove the extra padded section shown below.<br />

When you lift up the front flap, you have access to these 3 pockets. The bottom one is the longest and would hold a flash light or some paracord very nicely. The other 2 can hold a ton of different items, and the one on the right has a clear front so you could put a business card/I.D. card in it.<br />

In the center compartment, you can see that there is an elastic band to hold mags and keep them from moving all around.<br />

You can also see the extra strap for additional retention. Essentially, one strap goes across your shoulder and one goes around your waist/torso.<br />

I saw it, I liked it, I got it, now I'm reviewing it. This hat comes to CQB Radio from Airsplat <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/Items/CAP-TRU-3329_2.htm" target="_blank">(CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT ON THEIR WEBSITE)</a>. It's the Tru-Spec Black Multi-Cam Contractor Hat. Cost is $17.99, and I gotta say - it's pretty cool. <br />

<br />So let's be real here - would this be useful in an airsoft op? Well, it depends. In a Northeastern forest during the day, I'd prefer regular multi-cam or regular woodland. But I would definitely run this at a night op, or definitely at a cqb event. An as an everyday hat - certainly.<br /><br />As far as the fit, I did find it a little 'small' in the top i.e. it's not like a trucker's hat with a ton of space above the top of your head. I'd guess my head is average-sized to slightly larger, and this hat sits a bit more snug on me than maybe my Condor multi-cam hat. But it's still comfortable - no issue or discomfort when wearing it. <br /><br />Here's a look at it straight-on. As you can see, the TS of Tru-Spec is stitched into the front section of Velcro. I like this because if I don't want to add a patch, there's not just a huge blank patch in the front. <br /><br />

<br />And from the back. Note another spot on the back with Velcro, as well as a small Velcro spot on top.<br /><br />

Let's compare the two styles of multi-cam. The regular multi-cam is much more...well...colorful. The black multi-cam - in these photos - looks more like black/dark blue and a bit of light green/gray.<br />

Here are some of the features:<br />
- Tons of straps to adjust the pack, so it'll fit a kid or an adult<br />
- Padded shoulder straps<br />
- Zippers are smooth<br />
- Velcro locations for patches<br />
- MOLLE on the pack<br />
- A variety of different-sized pockets</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just looking at, you can tell it's bigger than an assault pack. Having used it, I can tell you that if you pack effectively you can use this for an overnight trip easily, and with no problem what so ever, you could put all your gear other than your AEG in this for an airsoft op.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8gyC9GZcrHvdFRldHWrTnF5Sf66z8GSTgi6RIme-2ViB8u90Lu5U6kxVH_xnKHvOJlA-WWPzU8tjvlPCpRA7ntc4mc_no_7WGCqag_dvld2CHlVdSQfJYLTz-CEDzQvqz_JYnlSGq9wo/s1600/133.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8gyC9GZcrHvdFRldHWrTnF5Sf66z8GSTgi6RIme-2ViB8u90Lu5U6kxVH_xnKHvOJlA-WWPzU8tjvlPCpRA7ntc4mc_no_7WGCqag_dvld2CHlVdSQfJYLTz-CEDzQvqz_JYnlSGq9wo/s1600/133.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Another look - this one looking at it straight on at the pack. Basically 3 main compartments for storage - the larger main one, a middle, medium-sized one, and then the angled-zipper one on the front.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here you can see two of the velcro locations for patches. One is a standard size (about 3x5) and the other one is about 3/4 inch by 5 inches. Pick a patch and make it happen, cap'n.<br />

<br />
This is kind of unique - the front pocket is at an angle. The purpose? Not totally sure, but it does offer a kind of cool look. Storage inside and molle on the outside. <br />

<br />
Up top, there are a few things to note. The handle makes it easy to carry the bag - grab it from the car and head out to an op. Also, you've got an access point to run your hydration tube from, so no canteen needed - just run your hydration bladder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95-fyz-WZFlDQaBQOClSD9MmAaOsDsmkuXlFSPyAmDntQlQAjNUFCrRiCXRoQ7bDhH2c4GF01lZr0kcC8BiIifmLuylT-PjqRwJzMlQYD5cl20a2JUSinPNFk-ogUfIC3tYpEO0xzvIuS/s1600/139.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95-fyz-WZFlDQaBQOClSD9MmAaOsDsmkuXlFSPyAmDntQlQAjNUFCrRiCXRoQ7bDhH2c4GF01lZr0kcC8BiIifmLuylT-PjqRwJzMlQYD5cl20a2JUSinPNFk-ogUfIC3tYpEO0xzvIuS/s1600/139.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
On the sides, more molle and compression straps too, so you can stuff the bag and then 'smoosh' it down to get it to be more stream-lined. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the back, you can see the padded shoulder straps. D-rings are included so you can attach all kind of other gear. Sternum strap - now you can secure the pack even more effectively, and of course the waist strap allows you to keep the bag from bouncing all over the place when you are moving.<br />

A look at the hydration bladder storage compartment in the MAIN compartment...<br />

<br />
...and I mean just look at the storage in the main section. And remember - only $26.99 for the pack. Nice deal.<br />

Down on the bottom - more molle and some straps so you can attach more gear - whatever you'd like, but it looks like it'd be perfect for a bed roll of some sort.<br />

Ok - here's the deal, airsofters. $27 = not very expensive at all. A lot of different storage space, lots of molle, and lots of straps.

<br />This guy will run you $23.99 on their site (<a href="http://www.airsoftpeak.com/">www.airsoftpeak.com</a>). If you know packs, it looks a lot like the UTG Messenger bag, but it's a bit more streamlined/compact, and you save about $10 AND you get free shipping too. <br /><br />

It's made of 600D nylon material, and this one is obviously in OD, but it does come in other colors as well (ACU, multi-cam-style, woodland, and tan). The bag measures 13.5 x 12 x 3.5 inches. They also have a larger one called the Jumbo Shoulder Versipack and that one runs $28.99. <br /><br />Here you can see the front flap that closes over the main pocket. The buckle looks and feels solid, and the smaller zippered pocket offers you some space to carry an iPhone, a pad of paper, or other flat items.<br /><br />

<br />Looking down inside the main compartment, you can see it has a draw-string option, which I like. This gives you ability to put items that are slightly larger than the pocket-size into the main compartment and just draw the string closed around it. The main compartment will fit mags pretty nicely - AK and M4. You will also find a mesh compartment inside to help store and organize your gear. <br /><br />

<br />On the left side is a small zippered pocket. There's molle on the outside to attach other items, but this item is perfect for batteries, a basic charging plug, a small bag of BBs (say around 250 rounds), gloves, etc.<br /><br />

And over on the right side, a pistol mag pouch. Certainly, you could store a pistol mag in there, but you could also nicely fit a multi-tool or a flashlight for repairs.<br />

<br />Your shoulder strap is adjustable and has a QD buckle to pop this bad-boy off easily. There is also a small spring-loaded hook so you can attach keys or other similar items. <br /><br />

<br />For me, this would be a 'small items, headed to the local game' pack. As you can see I've got some mags and in the back you can see my hex wrenches - you could also toss in some BBs with no problem. I might actually recommend this as a tool bag too - keep your tools, a light, some spray, etc. in this bag so you can always have it ready to go if a gun has issues.<br /><br />

<br />A solid little pack at a very reasonable cost. Is it made like a Maxpedition bag? No, but you also are getting it for A LOT less than a Maxpedition bag. This one will be a nice addition to your airsoft loadout when you head out to sling some plastic. Again, check it out over at Airsoft Peak (<a href="http://www.airsoftpeak.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to head to their website).<br /><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hey CQB Radio peeps,<br />
<br />
Today we look at some products from <a href="http://pdt-tech.com/" target="_blank">Practical Defense Training Technologies</a> (click on the name for more information and their website). What do they do? Simple enough - they offer reality-based training in what they call their 'mico-emersive trainer' using, among other things, airsoft as a training tool. They offer other services as well as selling some tac gear, so for the purposes of our post today, we are giving an overview of the PDT protective gear that is used during their airsoft-centered training. <br />
<br />
First thing to note - you can purchase the protective gear in a full-set or in individual pieces. So if you're an airsofter - particularly a CQB player - this is some kit you might want to consider. </div>
<br />
Here's the insert you get when your order the protective gear from PDT<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDgHl-bg0RLNaT1lDDn3nY2djDtA7slxNi44gjRQ2mTgh44e-9U1bijd8KlIX1Ny1M47EpMuHjIj8r9ARprULN9lp4AO_0eq4Fbvjmiz4skHagsP5QeSWX4TzgRTpY43jjbBg4EblrqmZF/s1600/1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDgHl-bg0RLNaT1lDDn3nY2djDtA7slxNi44gjRQ2mTgh44e-9U1bijd8KlIX1Ny1M47EpMuHjIj8r9ARprULN9lp4AO_0eq4Fbvjmiz4skHagsP5QeSWX4TzgRTpY43jjbBg4EblrqmZF/s1600/1.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
And the bag that the gear comes in. Nice bag, solidly-made, and it holds all the gear in the set.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here's a look at the face mask. Features include ear protection that still gives you the ability to still hear, an anti-fog lens that offers a maximum of peripheral vision. On that note, PDT says that their dual-lens goggles are the only true no-fog lens on the market. Want comfort in a mask - this one offers some nice soft gaskets to keep you safe and at the same time keep it comfortable. <br />

Gloves - I love me some nice tac gloves. Protection is literally built-in to this glove - it's not on the outside, it's stitched into the glove. Hook-and-loop closures on the wrists, cow-hide palms, and stretch material make the gloves safe and also comfortable to wear. <br />

Neck protection. Ever get shot in the neck? Yeah, I know - THAT hurt. Here's your neck protection. Again light-weight and comfortable (you'll see that as a theme), and the BEST feature of this is the neck skirt. That means this neck protection won't a.) move around and leave your skin exposed, and b.) it's not so small that it really doesn't cover your neck. I'm telling you - the little things make huge difference. <br />

If you look at the picture, the chest protector kind of speaks for itself, but here are a few details worth noting - made of Cordura, hook-and-loop on the shoulders and sides so it fits pretty much anyone, built to function and feel like a real duty vest, light-weight, and complete with a foam core for protection. <br />

Lastly, the marking knife. If you are an airsofter, you know a 'knife kill' can be intense and invigorating.<br />
Well, here's your chance. This knife comes with the marking compound so you know when you actually get someone. It's one piece of plastic with a sheath that you can attach to your person. <br />

Well, here's the dealy-yo. I posted a review of some Rothco pants a while back and Rothco caught wind of that review. So they contacted me and we talked about another review. We landed - as you can see - on this bad boy - the M65 Soft Shell Jacket. Let's start off with some specs:<br />
- The color for this one: sage<br />
- Cost: MSRP $98.99<br />
- What I see it being sold for: low $50s into the higher $70s<br />
- Water-resistant<br />
- 4 pockets<br />
- Shell: polyester<br />
- Lining: fleece<br />
- Concealed hood<br />
- Zip-up front with 'storm flap'<br />
- Drawstring waist<br />
<br />
Now let's talk about my experience with this one.<br />
<br />
First thing I'll note is that this style is (as they note on their website <a href="http://www.rothco.com/product-details/rothco-soft-shell-tactical-m-65-jacket" target="_blank">HERE</a>) a classic old-school style jacket with new-school technology. These soft shells are easier to find these days so the price to get one is getting more reasonable. <br />
<br />
Collar - With the hood kept inside (which is how I usually roll) it's 'filled' and thus is insulated from the cold. There is also a hook-and-loop tag on the left-hand side of the collar that can be pulled across to the right side to really seal up the collar for extra warmth and to keep the wind out. </div>

Pockets - large and in charge. There should be plenty of storage space for you when you add all 4 of these pockets together. They close with a very (and I mean VERY) secure snap in the middle. <br />

<br />
There are no slit pockets in the front, and while I like the storage space, I like the slit pockets more, so if I had my way, I would add some, but that's just me. Still, plenty of space for your stuff and your hands.<br />

Zip-up front with a storm flap. "Storm flap? Are you serious?" Totally. I get the skepticism, but it really does make a difference, and if you disagree, talk to all the outdoor companies who include them in their winter jackets. It does keep the breeze and chill out. Well-played, Rothco.<br />

On the shoulder, you've got these...things. Officially they are called epaulets and they were for military officials and such as a sign of rank or power, but they've kept them on many jackets. They look kind of cool in my opinion, and you also can cram something under them if you'd like to (a hat, glove, etc.).<br />

The sleeves can be cuffed and controlled with the hook-and-loop included, and it says on Rothco's website the hook-and-loop is for attaching gloves. Not totally sure how, so I'll check in and get some more details on that, but I can say that they will easily cover your gloves and thus keep the snow and rain from getting up your sleeve.<br />

Inside you've got some fleece to keep you warm. That combined with the soft shell outside does a nice job at keeping the elements out. Additionally, there is a drawstring included so you can tighten it up even more.<br />

So concluding thoughts...<br />
1. Cool looking - old-and-new school all in one<br />
2. Like most soft shells, this one is built for winter and colder weather use. Don't rock this if you want to go out in late spring or summer.<br />
3. The sage is a cool color. Supposedly they have it in OD, Tan, and Black, but mine is sage for sure. Look around for the color you like best.<br />
4. For the price, this one is pretty unique. There are other soft shells out there but in my research this is the only one with this look. <br /><br />Now go and rock it like a champ.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
More cool kit from Cast Gear, and I got this shirt for review from my friends over at Airsplat (click <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/Items/COMTEE-MRPT-XL_2.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> to check it out). Today, we are looking at the Cast Gear Combat T-Shirt. It comes in a variety of different colors (woodland, urban, and C-Cam - all digital style), and it runs from size Small to Double Extra Large). Here's a look at it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

As you can tell, it's got a base color on the torso, camo on the sleeves, and then black on the wrists and neck. It's made of 100% cotton so it will definitely be comfortable.<br />

First cool feature - pockets on the left sleeve, and it can hold whatever you want - a memo pad, a battery - even an iPhone. Wait - what's that? You'd like to put a memo pad in there but then you wonder where you'd put your pens? Ah - no need to worry my friend - just scroll down...<br />

Here's a look at the back and as you can probably tell, the idea behind the shirt is two-fold: eliminate the BDU blouse AND yet keep the camouflage. And this does just that. Put a plate carrier or a vest on and you keep your arms camouflaged but without all the weight of a full BDU blouse (and yes - they are called 'blouses'). <br />

Comfortable - yes indeed. Dry-wick - nope. But it's also pretty light-weight so while making it from some sort of 'sweat-wicking' material would have been nice, it's still a quality shirt, and to me - the overall features make it a win.

Today on the CQB Radio blog, we are looking at this - the NcSTAR Tactical MOLLE Backpack. You can find it over at Airsoft Atlanta <a href="http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/NcStar-Tactical-Backpack-p/52924.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> for only $24.99. As you can tell, I got mine in OD Green, but it also comes in Black, Tan, and ACU. And, as noted below, this is from their VISM line of gear.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8bXfPVnUu0kpIUNS_FFK_2eValpFoLkqbN5g_hyjR9lN4S3ruG870zHE_HuoGvJoY2JGtkcsVc8TFVIGeNYDCF_XedPUiFEH9weRZjKekgQBFltHFFgopyW_Dc-BNp-YP8ZnMgmSYEMNv/s1600/044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8bXfPVnUu0kpIUNS_FFK_2eValpFoLkqbN5g_hyjR9lN4S3ruG870zHE_HuoGvJoY2JGtkcsVc8TFVIGeNYDCF_XedPUiFEH9weRZjKekgQBFltHFFgopyW_Dc-BNp-YP8ZnMgmSYEMNv/s320/044.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Let's start with some of the specs:<br />
- Main Pocket = 18x12x6<br />
- Side Pockets = 5x5x1.5<br />
- Front Top Pocket = 8x4.5x2<br />
- Front Bottom Pocket = 9.5x9.5x3<br />
- MOLLE webbing = EVERYWHERE!<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a low-cost but very versatile pack, this one should be checked-out for sure. Here you can see the two side pockets - one up top, one down below, and you've also go a solidly-constructed handle in the middle, so it's easy to grab the bag no matter what angle it's jammed into your car or in a closet.<br />
<br />

As you can see from pretty much all of the photos, this thing has MOLLE webbing all over, so if you've got a few other MOLLE pouches, you can certain strap them onto this bad boy. Basically, other than my AEG, this thing can hold everything I need to take to a day-long airsoft op. Here's a list of some items you can pack in here:<br />
- BDU<br />
- Boots<br />
- Socks<br />
- Goggles<br />
- BBs<br />
- Mags<br />
- Tac vest<br />

Basically, it'll fit it all, and you can just keep your AEG and sidearm in a gun bag.<br />

Looking at it here, you can see the the set-up for pockets is as follows: two on the left side, two on the right side, one main compartment, and then two more compartments (one up, one down) on the front side facing you.<br />

Up top - you guessed it - another handle to grab the bag. And below the handle you can see a little window where you can put your info so we all know whose bag it is. (Side-note: the photo colors change a little depending on how close I got the camera to the bag. The bag is all the same color - OD Green).<br />

One the sides, you can see that compression straps are also included. You can certainly add more gear/pouches on these straps, but they are intended to compress the bag down to make it as stream-lined as possible. Two on the left, and two on the right = total of four compression straps.<br />

Let's talk about your carrying straps. You get adjustable shoulder straps with D-rings included to attach whatever items you might want easily accessible. You can also see there is a sternum strap included so that will give you more stability and control of the pack as you hike/move/crawl with it.<br />

The main compartment is, well, huge. For a backpack of this size, I was pretty shocked at how large this main section. was. And a plus - the zippers go all the way around and all the way down so you can fold the front down like so.<br />

Overall, for $25, I'd call this a steal. A smaller bag from some of the big name companies out there will run you over $100 EASY, so think that you could get one of these, use it, have it wear out, get ANOTHER ONE, use it, have it wear out, get ANOTHER ONE, use it, have it wear out, and then get ANOTHER ONE, and use it and you'd be even for what you spend on the super-high-end tactical bags. BUT WAIT...<br />

Let's not kid ourselves - this is not a scientific study. BUT it will give you a sense of how the Kryptek pattern compares to the very popular MultiCam pattern. I got the Kryptek Highlander hat <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/Items/AC-CO-TCM17HLND.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> from Airsplat so if you want it, I'd recommend you buy it from<a href="http://airsplat.com/" target="_blank"> THEM</a>. Taking a look above, you can see that I put an OD green American flag on each hat so there was no 'advantage' given to one hat over another when it comes to the front patch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the things that more recent camo patterns have been utilizing is a mixture/splatter/cross-fade effect. The older woodland camo patterns had very distinct edges for each color, but MultiCam, A-TACS, and Kryptek tend to blur the lines a bit more. Just look at the brim of the hat below.</div>

The MultiCam hat (below) has less of the blurring, but with the broad mix of colors, a lot of people like it because it seems to be, as the name implies, multiple forms of camouflage in one pattern. <br />

In this leaf litter, I think the two patterns are even. Both seem to blend in pretty nicely, and if you added in shadows to this photo, they'd be even harder to see. That said, if you made me pick, I'd say the Kryptek was a little more hidden in this picture.<br />

In the white pine here, the thing that stands out to me the MOST is that the flag and its shape. It really does 'pop'. Straight edges are not natural, and that's pretty obvious from the photos below. <br />

Here's the "IMHO" part of the show. Kryptek Highlander wins. Now hear me, you MultiCam fans - I REALLY like MultiCam. I actually wore this MultiCam hat all day yesterday at the range in the woods. And I'm not a Kryptek fanboy, but as I look at them, the blurring of the lines that the Kryptek offers is an advantage in your camo. What do you think? Post a comment below and thanks for reading. Thanks also to Airsplat for sponsoring CQB Radio.<br />

Welcome back to CQB Radio, gals and gents. Today we are taking a look at the Cast Gear Tactical Hoodie from Airsplat. You can <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/Items/HOODIE-URBN-XL_2.htm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to see it over on the Airsplat website. How did I get this one? Glad you asked. When I was speaking to my contact over at Airsplat, they mentioned that they'd like to have some of their new Cast Gear items reviewed, so this is the first of a bunch of their items we will be looking at on the CQB Radio blog. </div>
<br />
So Cast Tactical Hoodie. Here's a look...<br />

The front pockets - comfortable and nicely placed. The zippers are easy to use and though that may sound like a no-brainer - try getting a sweatshirt that has crummy zippers and you'll see why it's worth mentioning.<br />

The thumb holes in the sleeve cuffs give you something like a fingerless glove built right into the sweatshirt. Amazing how covering a just a little of your hand can give you some much-desired additional warmth in the colder weather. The cuffs also have some elastic in them and this allows for your hand to be comfortable and also snug in the cuff.<br />

On both the left and right upper arms are pockets with a patch panel on the outside. These are large pockets in which you could easily hold a pad a paper, a mag, more other items. They also have a pull built into them so that you can access them easily even with gloves on.<br />

On the side, you can see that there is hook-and-loop at the bottom, with a zipper about 15 inches long that runs up the side of the hoodie. This gives you the option to run a holster or any other larger pouch on the side of your body without having to worry about how you'll access it. Also, if you unzip the zipper, you'll let in air to cool you down.<br />

Another cool feature is the speaker-microphone holder on the shoulder. If you have a mic that you can to clip onto your hoodie, well with this little cloth 'flap' of sorts, you can hook it on your right shoulder.<br />

I've worn this one for a while, and I like it. It's warm and comfortable, even though Urban Digital is not exactly subtle while walking around town, I didn't feel like I was walking around in a BDU blouse (yes, that's what they are called). I've also got one of these in black - that one is just as nice. <br />
<br />
The cost for one of these bad-boys is $44.99. If you are looking for a hoodie that is more than just cool looking but is also functional, this is a great option. I've talked to the folks at Cast Gear and they seem like a solid group of individuals.

Today we take a look at the Condor Summit Softshell Jacket. You can find it <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/categories/AC-APP-CO-602TN.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> over at Airsplat, and they also have a variety of other Condor jackets, as well as a ton of Condor gear. </div>

Before we get into the jacket, let's talk Condor. If you know airsoft gear, you know Condor. They have been a name that a lot of airsofters go to when they are looking for a vest, a chest rig, pouches, gloves and really - whatever other gear you want, they probably make it. They are actually a real-steel (i.e. for real operators) company, but they know that airsofters are willing to invest a lot of cash into their kit, so they are happy to make gear that reaches out to the airsoft world as well. Check them out <a href="http://www.condoroutdoor.com/" target="_blank">HERE - Condor Outdoor.</a><br />
<br />
Ok back to the jacket. Cost is $79.99 and you can find this one in Tan, OD, and Black, though the Black does have a tinge of gray in it. These jackets are made for colder weather so this is not a spring or early fall jacket. Check out some of the specs below this lovely pic of the jacket.<br />

Looking at the neck here, you can see that it covers your neck very nicely, and while that little piece of fleece that covers the zipper may seem like no big deal, when the wind kicks up and the weather is cold, it actually does help significantly in keeping the cold out and your body heat (around your neck) in.<br />

In the back you can see the zipper to unleash the hood and also the drawstring to cinch down the neck (again - to keep out the elements).<br />

In general, this forearm pocket is one of my favorites on any clothing. It's great to toss an ID, some money, a debit card, or other small items into this pocket that is so easily accessible. And the extra pull on the zipper makes it easier to get into when you have gloves on.<br />

Space for a patch on the upper arm. One thing I like about this is that they kept the patch location color close enough to the color of the rest of the jacket that if you don't have a patch on it, it doesn't stand out. Also in this shot you can see three of the pockets - chest, upper arm/shoulder, forearm.<br />

These front pockets are called Napoleon pockets. The reason - well, when you put your hands in them it make you look like Napoleon and how he held his hand inside his coat. However, the REASON for these pockets being higher is that you can now keep you hands in your coat AND at the same time still wear a battle belt or snap a waist strap on a backpack, which - with normal side pockets that are lower - you cannot do.<br />

Now with all this warmth, you may start to get TOO hot if you are really active in this bad boy. No need to be concerned - just unzip the pit zips and let some cool air roll on in.<br />

Like the Napoleon pockets, the fact that the double-zipper can open the bottom of the front zipper gives you the ability to have more kit around your waist without too much restriction. This feature is also helpful if you are having to climb up a hill or, if you are into rock climbing, this feature is a great one. As you raise you legs with the jacket slightly unzipped at the bottom of the front zip, you don't have the jacket riding up. <br />

Condor Tactical Summit Softshell - love it. My wife keeps asking me to see if I can score her one in OD. What do you say, Airsplat? Then we can walk around town together and look like the tacti-coolest couple out there. Anyhow, on a serious note - it's warm, it's rain-resistant, it's comfortable, it's got a TON of great features, and I'm glad to own it. You need a jacket and want one that works for both airsofting and just wearing around? This might just be it, my friend. Check it out at <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/" target="_blank">Airsplat</a>, and big thank you to them for sending this along for review.<br />

A lot of us want to wear something other than just standard camo BDUs when we are airsofting, and Airsplat has brought us an inexpensive option from Rothco. These are the Rothco Tactical Operator BDU Pants and you can get them by clicking <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/Categories/AC-APP-RC-PT-T.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Take a look at them below.</div>

As you can see, I took a bunch of pics so you can have a sense of what these pants have to offer. If you like the shirt I'm wearing, a review of them is coming soon, but you can check out Cast Gear <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/categories/AC-APP-CG-CMBAT.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
But back to the pants. They come in a variety of sizes, and as you can see they have a button front, button fly, and adjustable waist tabs, so as long as you get them in a size close to yours, you can adjust them to loosen up or tighten up a bit.<br />

A big deal for me is the knee area of pants. If I have to crawl around on a the ground, I want something that's durable. Well, these guys have reinforced knees, so - check.<br />

The large cargo (thigh) pockets offer you plenty of space to store items, They are button-down pockets, so if you need quick access to something, I'd recommend you leave them un-buttoned, but just be aware that whatever you have in there is more likely to fall out if you don't have them secured shut. Your call. But bottom line, you've got lots of storage space in your cargo pockets.<br />

Sorry. Anyhow, back pockets are button-down as well and you can see, just with the 6 pockets, you've got storage space for dead rags, a granola bar - whatever you can fit in them.<br />

These pants were notably comfortable to wear. They don't repel water like something that has less cotton, but you sacrifice that for overall comfort I think. I wore these to work one day and didn't feel like I was in some sort of BDU. Overall, for less than $30, I think these are a good deal at Airsplat. Could you get a more rugged pair of tactical pants out there? Certainly (5.11 is a good option), and you'll pay twice as much for them (the 5.11 tactical pants run over $50). For a basic, comfortable pair of non-100% cotton tactical pants, these are worth checking out. Head over to Airsplat (click <a href="http://www.airsplat.com/Categories/AC-APP-RC-PT-T.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>) to check them out.<br />

Today we are talking rigger's belts. Before we get into the specs on this one (from Condor and available at Evike <a href="http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?cPath=30_163&products_id=34994" target="_blank">HERE</a> for $25), let's talk about rigger's belts in general. Rigger's belts are a high-duty, heavy-use belt that a variety of tactical manufacturers make. These are not just a belt made out of webbing - these things are beastly. The webbing used is durable and usually thicker that rock climbing webbing, and the buckles are usually highly durable as well. The harness is forged steel and has an 8,000 pound tensile strength.</div>
<br />
Rigger's belts are all about carrying and bearing weight. You can put a ton of gear (holster, pistol, mags, pouches, etc.) on a rigger's belt and, if it's well made, it will hold and and not sag under the weight.<br />
<br />
Let's talk a look at this one from Condor. You can get it over at Evike in Tan, Black, Foliage, and OD. The sizes run from Small to Extra Large. This one is tan and (as you'll see) is Medium/Large. I actually had to send the Large back because it was too big for me (I'm was a 38 when I got the Large and it was way too big).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's a look at the belt straight on.</div>
<br />

Putting on the belt - well, it's not rocket science. You run the belt through your belt loops on your pants and then back between the moving metal slide on the front. It's got velcro on it and a lot of it, so if you do it right, this thing will stay ON.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's what it looks like on. The smaller piece of webbing on the right of this photo is for you to make any final, minor adjustments. Also, note that it'll take some time to 'break in'. If the belt seems very stiff, that's good - that means it's made well and it should be (for the first few times using) a little hard to get on and set up.<br />
<br />

<br />
You can loop the velcro back UNDER your pants belt look, but the velcro grabs so much that I find that a serious pain. If I was using this to bear some serious weight, I would do so, but in general I don't find it necessary.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisz3xYhFthuLwwT5d0ac0st0XqxlkBcBvF58ED_b5B3J-ZgxVhznNMOat7oQiW6Dhg8CF2EzzMx9VROUEun2wn_y-5a-6SVRZvCkkfBGMrdWLaXeuWXWOQd12LOwQxpICblz3ndjSdX7Qu/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisz3xYhFthuLwwT5d0ac0st0XqxlkBcBvF58ED_b5B3J-ZgxVhznNMOat7oQiW6Dhg8CF2EzzMx9VROUEun2wn_y-5a-6SVRZvCkkfBGMrdWLaXeuWXWOQd12LOwQxpICblz3ndjSdX7Qu/s320/015.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So who is this for? First off, it's a good investment for $25. You can wear this day-in and day-out and it'll hold up for a long time. So I'd say if you just want a hearty belt that'll last - this is a good option. Secondly, in relation to airsoft, if you prefer to go high-speed/low-drag, this might be something to pick up. Let's say you don't want to run a vest or chest rig. No problem. Toss a few mag pouches on here, maybe a dump pouch, and a small utility pouch, and you're good to go. Can you do that on a lower-cost belt? Well, you CAN, but you can also walk to Boston from Maine, but I think driving makes more sense. This belt will hold up and it won't sag, thereby keeping your gear in place and your pants...well...on.<br />

OK, let's talk knives and airsoft. Of course, some people use fake knives for airsoft, but what place does a real knife have in airsoft? Good question, and a fair one. First off, I'd say for many airsofters, they don't have a place, so don't bother getting one (not to be too blunt here). But for those of us who know how to handle a blade - and by that I mean to use it as a tool, not as a fighting weapon - a nice pocket knife can be helpful. </div>

When I get a new item and I want to take off tags, labels, or other things that are hanging on, say, a mag pouch - well, a knife can come in handy. When it's a lunch break and I need to bust open a bag of something to cook over my camping stove back in the prep area - a knife would be handy. So for those kinds of needs (AND NOT ON THE FIELD), I think this Condor Barracuda could be useful.<br />

We all know Condor makes some very popular tactical gear that airsofters use, but now they have broken into the tactical/folding knife market. This one comes in a plan edge and one with a serrated edge as well. I prefer a plain edge, but that's just my taste.<br />
<br />
This blade fits comfortably in my hand and I'm 6 foot 2, so if you have smaller hands, it'll be plenty big.<br />

To give you a little size comparison, I compared it to an AK and M4 mag. As you can see, it's not too big, and it's about 1/2 this size when it's all folded up.<br />

Overall, a nice blade. It'll hold an edge for you and when you are prepping for an op, it might be just what you needed in the parking lot or staging area. Again, I would NOT recommend having this on the field - it's just asking to be lost or for an accident. Play safe, leave the knife in the car, and as always - keep on firin'.<br />
