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.
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 new camo patterns are a modern digital camouflage, available in 4 colorways. 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.

Most players take on the role of a rifleman carrying an AEG of some kind as a primary weapon and a pistol as a secondary. However, if you carry a bolt action sniper rifle, high-powered semi-automatic marksman rifle, or a support weapon like an M249 or an M240, you may have some pretty specific requirements. The role of Sniper or Marksman favors concealment and mobility. Lightweight chest rigs like the condor RRV or even a pre-configured vest like the condor Recon chest rig paired with a hydration backpack offer a great lightweight low profile solution. For support weapons specialists, the number of items actually carried becomes minimal. Carrying around extra box magazines isn’t very practical so loose ammunition is ideal here. Your weapon system easily weighs two or three times as much as the average AEG, so carrying more weight isn’t an attractive option. You may consider some SVS body armor for protection, and wear something small like the condor OPS chest rig over it to give you some space for a few pistol magazines, a radio, and an ammo pouch. If you feel like you could use a little extra MOLLE a battle belt and an H-Harness just might do the trick.
