Today, Laplume told us they've got new load carriage system designs based on work they are performing for AFSOC. "We are working on some new ideas in load carriage for radios with integrated cable management. We'll have some new gear on display at Shot show next week." So, we are looking forward to Shot show where FirstSpear will unveil a few of their new load bearing products.

With all their experience building kit back at Eagle Industries, FirstSpear should have a leg up coming out of the gate. "Our user's needs  are constantly evolving, FirstSpear's vision is to evolve with them in real time," said President and CEO Scott Carver, via a press release.  "FirstSpear integrates past experience and proven technology with a unique advancement in materials, configuration and production efficiency, to offer the most advanced load carriage solutions possible."

We'll be talking to the FirstSpear team next week and will post some details on photos of any gear they share with us.

There isn't much anything up on their site yet, but their Facebook page already has 123 likes. Not bad for a company that just opened today!
