Since our beginning in 2004, we strive for excellence in all we do and to exemplify that excellence in our products and design. We are devoted to those we serve to deliver innovative gear with superior quality. Blue Force Gear is not satisfied with making the same thing as everyone else - merely changing the color or style. We design by a code of advancement - if we can't make something better than what is currently available, we don't make it. By continually innovating, our products will always be different. We are proud to have pioneered technological innovations that have revolutionized load carriage and weapon carrying establishing the world's standard in weapon slings and the world's lightest, MOLLE compatible load carriage. Of course we are not stopping there. We are continually improving our gear lineup and looking for more ways to improve the tactical gear industry and ultimately the warriors here at home and worldwide.
Blue Force Gear is obsessed with lightweight and lightening the load™ of the modern warfighter.
A key element in lightweight is advanced materials combined with innovative technology.
Helium Whisper® is a revolutionary MOLLE attachment system that combines a single piece back panel design with an ultra-light, extremely durable high performance proprietary laminate called ULTRAcomp™. This design drastically reduces the number of parts needed for MOLLE attachment, minimizes the potential for errors and weak points, is easier to produce, and most of all is lighter than any other pouch attachments system available. Pouches with Helium Whisper attachment system are currently issued to some our nation’s most elite units, several with NSN listings.
Blue Force Gear’s proprietary high performance laminate, ULTRAcomp®, far exceeds the military standard air textured nylon in tear and abrasion resistance. Its hydrophobic features allow products to stay dry and light, whereas air textured nylon retains water and gets even heavier when wet.
Blue Force Gear has attained the perfect blend of art and science to create a truly unique material - ULTRAcomp®. ULTRAcomp® combines the properties of a rubber based laminate - resistance to tear, abrasion, water, bacteria and fungus - and added a Cordura® fabric facing for color or pattern and reduced IR signature. This is a case where the sum is greater than its parts. The combined strength of the two materials becoming one allows us to push the limits on weight savings while exceeding established standards of strength and durability.
Ten-Speed® was designed to be the pouch you forget is there. The military grade elastic pouch was designed to be truly multi-use - holding magazines and other critical items - and lay flat when not in use. If you can fit the item in, it’s now that item’s pouch and once removed, the pouch disappears.
This unique criteria came from our elite military users - units whose mission include “tube fighting” - in planes, subways, trains, and buses. In this even closer, more compact CQB, bulky pouches, can snag or slow you down - time lost that could be the difference between mission success and failure.
MOLLEminus is a revolutionary load carriage platform that is fully MOLLE compatible while being the lightest on the market. The same way we made the lightest MOLLE pouch attachment - Helium Whisper™ - system with one piece Helium Whisper backers, MOLLEminus™ is a MOLLE compatible platform constructed out of one piece of ULTRAcomp™ The MOLLE field has been changed to all slots which gives greater flexibility in mounting pouches and maximum signature reduction without having another layer of material underneath.
