LBT-6094A Multicam

As the new generation of camouflage “MULTICAM”, there are many rumors for many years that the US military will be changing to the color of Multicam camouflage. Only until 2 years ago you can start seeing many SOF personal such as PJ, DEA, Navy SEALs are using the multicam camo for testing, my personal opinion is the M.C is really good for operators in A-Stan cause it is not only desert but it also have vegetation environment.

At the year 2007 when the first photo of NSW are using the LBT-6094A came out, this carrier became a “BOOM” but frankly I have to say the 1rst gen has few improvement needed but yet it also became the icon of NSW plate carrier.  But as a SOF operator, they are like ninjas they adapted the environment and modified their gear to fit their mission and to maximum efficiency of their mission and the same time to obtain good camouflage for concealment

Sample photo of SEAL operator using the plate carrier during an exercise.

Now, lets take a look more angles and details of the plate carrier.

Front

There are few improvements of the carrier compare to the first generation, first is the shoulder strap cover, it changed the material from nylon to multicam 500D codura. 2nd innovation is the molle straps at the front side, it added the Velcro for the operator to put on the unit patches and the same time still can attached some pouches. And also the the molle stitching are more precised not like the first gen.

Back

The Plate carrier also can fit both M/L size of SAPI plate, even the first gen also says it can fit the both M/L but the cutting is kinda small it can only fit the small size or medium size of the plate. From the photo you can see that compare the medium plate it still have more space to fit the large ones.

The plate carrier can also carry side sapi plate and side soft armor.

Looking forward to bring you more reviews next time~CHEERS!!! HOOYAH!!!

INVISIO M3-S

After the review about the inviso M3,  some people  has request for review on the M3-S..It is hard to tell the different between M3 and M3s from the official headset information or the date sheet. From the name M3 “S” meaning this headset is Submersible down to 20 meters, the headset is completely filled with waterproofing material which cab be used deep enough for all the military diver or SEALs units around the world,

The M3-s, it is available into 2 colors for different environment operations, it is also Kevlar reinforced with Teflon insulation and a pull strength of over 20kg.

The easiest way to tell the between the M3 and M3s is the connector. Usually the M3 comes with lots of variation of connectors.. like 3.5mm, nexus and ect, but the M3s only comes with the specially made water proof connectors and also the T.E.A 10 pin waterproof connectors which is regulated by the ITAR.

This is how the water proof connector look like.

Lets look more into the headsets

The M3-S Black

The black version is currently using by the GSG9 and SASR,  Denish SEALs (FKP)

The M3-S Khaki

The Khaki version was used by the US SEALs and Marine Force Recon and many other special forces who operates in the desert.

INVSIO has also develop a waterproof PTT  suits for the M3-S which is also tested by many European special forces, The PTT looks quite simple and easy to use, the difference between this PTT and other mil PTT is that the push to talk button is at the upper side and you have to connect your invisio m3-s and your radio connector at the down side. First thing I ask was why would it be at the down side of the PTT not like the universal PTT which is the opposite way, the company explain to me that because many operators has experience the headset wire was tangle during fast rope insertion or tangle to other stuff on their tactical vest and also when you get contact fire and laying down on the ground it is more comfortable.

More Invsio headsets review coming soon!!!

THE INVISIBLE HEADSET-INVISIO M3

First time I saw this headset was back 2007 when the photos of those hero we lost during operation Redwing, I could not reconize what headset they were using and used the most famous tool or what people said ” GOOGLE IT” yet I got nothing but the onions…ask around few retired operators…they also could not guess what is it…but they said they will love to have that during their time of operation. And it took me a long way for me to get to know more info about this headset and to get hands it.

Photo of Marcus Luttrell in A-Stan with the Invisio

I receive this headset back at early 2009.. my apology for only upload this now cause it took me a while to dig the photos out, anyway when I first receive 2 sets of the ear piece I was not really satisfied by the look at it…cause it looks so simple and just like an iphone headphone….other thing in my mind…it is strong enough? looks weak..that time I have no idea that this ear piece is a SILENT PROFESSIONAL with killer clear sound both sending and receiving radio communications.

Now lets take a look of the case of this headset.

mmmmm…. really lookd  like a cell phone headphone case…

From the name of the ear piece “Invisio ” you can relate to the word “Invisible” which is true cause when you put it in your ear and the color is actually just similar to the tone of the human skin, another reason this is called invisio is that it does not need a boom mic to receive the sound/words you are sending out from your radio, you can hardly spot this ear piece with a distance and also when the enemy is sportting by their  scopes or binocs it is hard to tell  if  he is  a  operator or not, and it is also absutely comfortable under the heat in the desert and any hot weather, this ear piece is specially good on covert missions / VIP protection missions.

The principle of this ear piece to send out the sound is from the vibration sensing bone conduction mic for clear speeacj and total elimination of noise, the sound quality is really amazing that once you have this headset you wont want to take it off from you and used other headsets. And also one more thing is that this skinny looking kind of headset compare to the other military headset…the wire has kevlar reinforced and can handle “20KG PULL STRENGTH”..the reason why I said this headset is a silentpro is that…it looks simple and make you think this is just a simple and underestimate the features of the headset but this headset is actually the most Top in SOF community around the WORLD.

This headset comes with many configurations and many other models such as fireproof and waterproof, The first set of the invisio I got is just the M3 model and it comes with the U94 jack.

Sample photo of how the headsest look like with the PTT.

INVISIO BROTHERS with different configurations for radio.

Here is the INVISIO M3 SPECS/FEATURES

I will be sharing more about different versions of Invisio headsets soon.

LBT-1961A 2008-2009

Many gear mania has been debating about what version of the LBT-1961A the SEALs are currently using. And people are going for those crazy high price for the previous version of the chest rig, simply because the old version of the vest was more expose on the photos..but many people dont know that photos always delay for few years or month it can never be real time with the operators during their operations, it is for security purpose.

As LBT dealer when I first received the vest was back in the end of 2008, I have notice the difference between the 2007 version is that the bidding nylong tape was removed on the pouches of the chest rig, I was cusrious and just asked my questions and I got the feeback answer was that sometimes the bidding tape reflects under the sun and cost of exposed the operators position in the hot desert, and also the material they are using became more firm then before.

Many collectors ask me ” Is it possible to order the previous version of 1961A” and my answer is always the same as LBT USA..” NO” the new version was re design after the operators really tested on the filed and I also tell them that if the operators are not using this vest, LBT wont have it for sale in their company, the products are using by the real operators in real time..but at that time…no body would listen and believed.

Recently the photos of SEALs and DEA agent was out on the net and there it was the new version of the 1961A…maybe some people will debate as it is the Eagle Industries muti purpose chest rig, but pay attention to detail to the shoulder strap..only the LBT-1961A has the folding stich line in the middle which E.I tried to change the design little bit for not violating copy right for the patten from LBT.

will have more comparison on the LBT vs Ealge 1961A chest rig soon!

Current Taiwanese Navy SEAL BDU

Got this set from a close friend of mine..He is the real tough silentpro…although it may seems just a BDU for every other guys who joined the military service in Taiwan.

But

What layes beyond this simple BDU is the training, the crazy PT with Gas Mask and 30-40Kg pack, the beach clearing, underwater demolition..all the stuff the SEALs do and also as an Instructor for the Taiwanese UDT/SEAL unit but yet he is humble and silent warrior.

Thank you for the support always. It has been 1 year since my first O.T.B

HOOYAH!!!
