TNVC put them back up for sale when they severed ties with Team Wendy. The Ops Core BASE Jump has been given updated materials in the pads (to increase to the ACH impact standard) and renamed the Ops Core Bump. There are no other differences and this is what TNVC is selling. According to TNVC in their forum OC will be unveiling the Bump 2.0 at the end of the year that will have more differences. |

Updated my belt a bit with a dedicated med pouch. Also threw the dump pouch on there to see how it all fit. Was comfortable around the house, even sitting on the couch.

The full size roll up dump pouch is good to go. I didn't like the fight light dump pouch because it's too narrow. I have my pouch right over my left butt cheek and it's much easier to drop a mag in the bigger pouch when you can't see what you're doing |

It works most excellent to hold a oil bottle and a Multitool.... Thanks for the Hook up Brother....  It's like it was mad for it....

That's exactly what this one is . Their thumb release mechanism doesn't function nearly as well as g-code's, but the holster is otherwise excellent. If I did it again, I would get the tactical version so I could use it with my airsoft fnx for practice. Outside of that, I'm pretty happy. Finding holsters is the one drawback to the fnx45. |

I could use some feedback on this.
I'm a civilian, and I've got a "bump in the night" plate carrier that's setup to have anything I'd need in a quick emergency (1 rifle mag, 2 pistol mags for my EDC/nightstand gun, IFAK, ALS + QLS holster, flashlight, leatherman). The belt is tri-purpose: 1. Augment my plate carrier for a long-term SHTF / #Texit / Zombie Apocolype™ 2. Replace my plate carrier for a long-term SHTF / #Texit / Zombie Apocolype™ if I need to ditch the weight 3. Airsoft. Currently (from left to right, when worn), it's: 2x Tactical Tailor Fight Light double AR mag pouches 1x Surplus flashbang pouch (currently holding an airsoft grenade...the only "airsoft-specific" item) 1x Tactical Tailor Fight Light flashbang pouch (radio, not shown) 1x Condor dump pouch (attached to the inner belt) 1x Canteen pouch (first aid kit) 1x Safariland UBL and QLS plate (idea is the holster moves from the plate carrier to the belt for a better draw) 1x Tactical Tailor Fight Light multitool pouch (the leatherman on my pants belt gets moved into that pouch when I put on the warbelt) Belt, suspenders, and inner belt are all ATS. I sewed on a couple inches of extra velcro (black, slightly visible in the pictures to the inner belt so I can expand it 2-3" if I need to wear it on top of a jacket. The biggest problem I had the last time I used this was getting to the radio. The radio's basically on my back, and with a wire run up to a headset it's a PITA to get back there, get the radio out, to change frequencies, plug the headset back in, and get the radio pouch closed again. |

I would move the pistol holster to the belt...that way you can stay armed of not wearing the plate carrier. Put your radio low on the back and to the side...easy reach for changing freqs Everything else seems fine, each person has a different need. Hope this helps bud!! |

If you want a pouch that will work with numerous different mags, then the TACO is a great pouch. But if you only need it for AR mags, then the KYWI is by far my favorite. |

I was thinking HSGI tacos but I'll look into theses too TT isn't in the same category as ESSTAC or HSGI, TT is just a pouch the TACOs or KYWIs are a case. The HSGI is great when you are changing between 762 and 556 a lot and don't want to change your whole kit but it's more of a pain to get a magazine back into them. I run them stateside because I use both calibers but when I'm not home I run KYWIs. ESSTAC are amazing, hold their form. Mags can be replaced or moved without thought and by one hand. |

I thought about Tacos before I realized that they were kinda pointless if you only have AR mags. Instead I went with an S&S Precision SMR on my belt. Gucci gear factor aside, it's a pretty awesome AR mag "holster". IMO it's "the best".

TT isn't in the same category as ESSTAC or HSGI, TT is just a pouch the TACOs or KYWIs are a case. The HSGI is great when you are changing between 762 and 556 a lot and don't want to change your whole kit but it's more of a pain to get a magazine back into them. I run them stateside because I use both calibers but when I'm not home I run KYWIs. ESSTAC are amazing, hold their form. Mags can be replaced or moved without thought and by one hand.

They were the first pouches I bought. I do switch between 5.56, 7.62x39, and 5.45x39 so I went with the TT pouches. I like that I can run 1, 2, or 3 mags in each pouch (I only run one to keep size down). Plus I like the option to have have the flap to close or tuck behind the mags. But those tacos look so tempting. I don't have any issues with my TT's but I guess I'm going to just have to try the tacos. |

I could use some feedback on this. https://s31.postimg.org/yrl0bktiz/both_cropped.jpg I'm a civilian, and I've got a "bump in the night" plate carrier that's setup to have anything I'd need in a quick emergency (1 rifle mag, 2 pistol mags for my EDC/nightstand gun, IFAK, ALS + QLS holster, flashlight, leatherman). The belt is tri-purpose: 1. Augment my plate carrier for a long-term SHTF / #Texit / Zombie Apocolype™ 2. Replace my plate carrier for a long-term SHTF / #Texit / Zombie Apocolype™ if I need to ditch the weight 3. Airsoft. Currently (from left to right, when worn), it's: 2x Tactical Tailor Fight Light double AR mag pouches 1x Surplus flashbang pouch (currently holding an airsoft grenade...the only "airsoft-specific" item) 1x Tactical Tailor Fight Light flashbang pouch (radio, not shown) 1x Condor dump pouch (attached to the inner belt) 1x Canteen pouch (first aid kit) 1x Safariland UBL and QLS plate (idea is the holster moves from the plate carrier to the belt for a better draw) 1x Tactical Tailor Fight Light multitool pouch (the leatherman on my pants belt gets moved into that pouch when I put on the warbelt) Belt, suspenders, and inner belt are all ATS. I sewed on a couple inches of extra velcro (black, slightly visible in the pictures to the inner belt so I can expand it 2-3" if I need to wear it on top of a jacket. The biggest problem I had the last time I used this was getting to the radio. The radio's basically on my back, and with a wire run up to a headset it's a PITA to get back there, get the radio out, to change frequencies, plug the headset back in, and get the radio pouch closed again. If it's your radio, move it to the first column on your weak side. There should be nothing ever in front or above your pistol if you want a good smooth fast draw. Ever. EVER. If it's a multi tool, there is extra no-reason for it to be on your pistol side Have you been doing dry-fire draws to see if you like this setup? |

It's a multitool pouch, and it doesn't interfere with the draw at all. I've had a Leatherman Wave on the right side of my belt every day since January 2005. I've got so muscle memory built up there's no way it would be effective to move that. |

The one common theme I am seeing with war belts... if your running suspenders, you have too much on it.

One of the belts entire point is to put the weight on your hips and take it off of your back. Hips hood weight way better than your back. If I could I'd put everything on my belt and just run plates and a couple of mag pouches on my PC. Suspenders?! Yuk! |

For you guys running fixed blade knives on your belts, what kind of attachments are you using for the kydex knife sheathes? I'm looking at having a sheath made for my gerber prodigy, and not sure what attachments I should get for it.

It's really handy to be able to unbuckle and have it not fall off your body or have to put it down IMHO. |
