Tactical Gear News from LBX Tactical and Pantac USA

Both LBX Tactical and Pantac USA are releasing completely new lines of tactical gear this year. We take a closer look at both series here.

Pantac USA’s latest product release comes in the form of their Lightweight Modular System. This system is a completely customizable load carrying scheme that is scalable for anything from a lightweight static rig to a more complete assault pack and chest panel.

Pantac LWMS Mk1 Kryptek Chest Rig Tactical Gear

The Pantac LWMS tactical gear follows advances in design and materials in order to deliver kit that is both lighter and more modular. Option one is the LWMS Skeleton Basic Set. This MOLLE rig eliminates the backing to reduce weight. In addition to the flexibility of the MOLLE, any of the LMWS chest rigs have a number of harness options.

LBX Tactical, a division of LBT, has a complete set of new camouflage patterns coming out in their tactical uniform offerings. The LBX Tactical combat uniform comprises two parts, the Assaulter Shirt and Assaulter Pants. The shirt is a combat shirt design that features a soft torso with the camouflage pattern across the sleeves and yoke. The shirt features velcro covered shoulder pockets for gear access when you’re wearing a plate carrier, while the pant features a number of different cargo pockets for gear storage and quick access.

The patterns, Snow Raptor, Inland Taipan, Caiman, and Mantis, range from a snow pattern to an arid or desert scheme, a transitional color scheme, and a darker tropical or temperate pattern. These provide a wide range of camo options that can be applied to fit any environment.

Pantac Lightweight Modular System – LWMS

Pantac_LWMS_MOLLE_Chest_Rig_A-TACS_FGPantac’s newest series in tactical gear is their LWMS  line. The LWMS, or Lightweight Modular System, encompasses a completely new design focus that delivers lighter versatile gear while maintaining the same durability.

We received a few different pieces from the LMWS series to test out. Overall, there are a couple of features that carry across the board. The first is that these are constructed with 500D Cordura Nylon. This is still plenty durable, but cuts down on fabric weight. Additionally, the shoulder straps have removed the large, thick padding and gone with a much slimmer layered Cordura design. This provides good support without the bulk of the thick shoulder straps. The last change that’s found in all of the LWMS kit is a slightly lighter 1 inch webbing. This webbing is flexible and, again, just a bit lighter than standard webbing. Continue reading

Pantac USA Lightweight Modular System – Tactical Gear

Pantac USA first unveiled the beginning models of their LWMS gear at the 2013 SHOT Show. On display was a MOLLE Chest Rig designed with the backing removed for increased weight savings. This chest rig is fully compatible with MOLLE pouches, but cuts a lot of weight compared to a traditional MOLLE panel.

The AOR1 or Desert Digital model is a new color scheme, but is available across all of Pantac’s product line. The Multicam setup displays the chest rig with pouches in place.
