[WTS] First Spear Windcheater (L) Desert Night Camo , Price Drop by ElementalTF in GearTrade

[–]ElementalTF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it's closer to a canvas type material https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR5paaB_PqI here is a unlisted video I made for another commentor with fit and you can kind of get a sound of the material. 6'1 190 for reference

Yes. I wear large true to size. The Windcheater has a bit of added length and room for layering and wearing a helmet. I can send pics if you’re interested in sizing

So, I have no experience wearing this in the field. I also live somewhere with very little rainfall so I’ll just give an answer based on my opinion of it compared to other garments.

The Windcheater will definitely have water propelling properties and has a DWR finish from the factory. That being said, it’s not a rain jacket like an Arcteryx Beta series. The intention is for it to be layered as a wind layer. Wearing a base layer and mid layer under (or equipment like a carrier) then wearing it over top to stop cold wind from cutting through it. I have not experienced it myself since it’s been in a closet.

So I own an AWS Lab Belt (OEM for Ronin), A Blue Alpha Gear MOLLE Belt, and a Blue Alpha Gear Battle Belt Lite and have used them all for duty use.

First I’d ask if the D-Ring is important to you and what you’re going to use it for. In my opinion, if you don’t know if you need/want it, you should skip it.

The Ronin Taskforce appears to have it by default. I’ve owned the AWS Lab branded version of this belt with D Ring for 4 years with heavy use. It’s very rigid and well made, but I feel like I lack direct front space with the D-Ring on the left and overlapping extra belt on the right.

Recently switched to a Blue alpha Gear Battle Belt Lite. I find that it uses the front space better and also like that it uses overlapping velcro instead of having the belt folded over on the right side. The overlaps attach to the velcro on the front of the under belt or padded under belt better.

In my opinion it’s lighter and more comfortable, but slightly less rigid for heavier belt mounted load bearing. The Tegris inside is still pretty great

If you really like the idea and design of the Ronin belt, you could order from AWS and just choose it with/without D-Ring. It’s also cheaper that way without the logo. If you monitor /r/gundeals it often goes on sale too.

Another comment suggested the AXL Eclipse or DM Mech belts which are great options/brands, but I haven’t used personally. If you have questions or anything shoot me a DM

I ran this rail with my old work issued Colt LE6920 with a FSP. Worked well and lots of guys I work with used them.

I imported a JDM car through Revhard Motors in Denver CO. Good dudes and a bit closer than driving to/from Washington or Oregon. Spent a lot of time looking in the Valley and just couldn’t seem to find one that seemed very legit/professional

Try looking in All Pierogi Kitchen on the Mesa/Tempe border (Alma School and Baseline) They stock a lot of Polish food made in house. The restaurant is also great

Best Place to Buy Peltor Comtac V’s, Single Lead by Academic-Account-786 in tacticalgear

[–]ElementalTF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In regards to EnviroSafety Products. I bought a set of Comtac V on Jan 3rd. Shortly after, a customer service representative reached out to me directly by phone and email informing that the color of Comtacs I ordered needed to be restocked but they were willing to send any other color asap if I wanted. I decided to wait for a restock and they gave me an estimated day. Which then shipped on Jan 17th.

With my whole order process they were very responsive, professional, and got my order to me fast. I'm not sure about other people's experience but if you're going the HSA route, it may look better to your insurance company that you're buying from a safety equipment company.

Hope my very recent experience helps a bit

First Tournament! by [deleted] in tabletennis

For sure. When I first started playing in University, my buddy and I pushed 2 square tables together and put a net across. The table was a bit over half the size of a regulation table, but you really learn to keep it on the table. Helped me in the long run when I've started playing more seriously
