You In To Gear? Yeah, So Are We!

Darin Ninness

milspecmonkey.gifThis guy is SERIOUSLY into his gear: Mil-Spec Monkey.

From tactical nylon pouches, load carrying equipment, body armor and plate carriers to various and sundry forms of clothing, equipment, flashlights and even, yes, Virginia, things that go "Bang!" this site gives you everything.

Want to see what the gear looks like close up? Yep, got it!

Need to see it actually attached to some gear? Yup, thats there.

How about with magazines or flashlights actually IN it? Uh huh.

How about what it looks like after a few weeks of use? Sometimes, sure!

Its all here: news, opinion pieces on the function of the gear, suggestions for better usage, material color comparisons (there is a difference between manufacturers, and sometimes even between a manufacturer's lots of fabric!), tips for modifying your own snivel gear, etc. There's even a store to buy cool stuff.

Your highly gear-oriented Managing Editor, the King of Snivel Gear, liked the gear so much, he even picked up a Maxpedition Monkey Combat Admin Pouch designed by Mil-Spec Monkey to wear on his eventual chest rig. (Mil-Spec Monkey's page on Maxpedition gear is found here. Scroll down about 1/2 way to find the Combat Admin Pouch..) Its well-constructed and solid. Now if I can just get something to put it on!
