It’s been a long time coming – the M05 Tradesoft is proud to present the fruits of co-operation with Templar’s Gear: tactical combat gear with the Finnish M05 camouflage! The aim of this co-operation is to fill a torso-sized hole in the Finnish gear market: before this, it was not possible to have a full combat gear set available with the domestic M05 pattern. We had contemplated on acquiring M05 combat gear before, but had not found a suitable manufacturer before Templar’s Gear. The actual idea of this project was born in the fall of 2017 when the first Templar’s Gear products landed at our headquarters. After finding a suitable friend and partner in Poland, it was obvious that we had to present this gift to the airsoft/reserve forces/military/defence forces/SRA shooting communities and everyone interested in the Finnish camouflage pattern. The unbearable lightness of tomorrow The PT5 is a minimalist battle belt by design and it locks in place to the included under belt, which in turn is threaded to your pants like a normal belt. Thus, a steady package with a small footprint is created. The real advantage of the belt is the PALS matrix that follows a smart 0.5-1-0.5 breakdown. The matrix has a full PALS row in the middle and on top and bottom of it are half rows, so that you can attach pouches more or less normaly to the belt. See the product images for example on how to attach a FAST magazine pouch to the belt! In addition, the belt is equipped with pass-throughs so that you can thread the inner belt to go over the sleeve. Features: Sleeve and under belt that attach to each other – sleeve has hook Velcro and under belt loop Velcro, making the fusion of these two very sturdy Ample attachment space: In size S there is a 20 × 2 PALS matrix, in size M a 22 × 2, in size L 24 × 2 and size XL 26 × 2.Stiffener inside to help carry loadsMain seams are made using Dyneema yarn. This causes the very small grey seam visible in the product. Dyneema is 15 times stronger than steel and handles UV light very well. A very light structure: Size S weighs 170 grams, M 190 grams, L 200 grams and XL 210 grams The main material is 500D Foxdura. Under belt is made of 1000D Cordura and velcro. The width of the sleeve part is 66 mm, perfect for Clone Wars veterans Basically, any belt that is maximum of 45 mm wide can be used as an inner belt. Gen. 1 vs. Gen 2 vs. Gen. 3 - What got better? Instead of adapters under belt and sleeve attach directly to each other, keeping the whole system in it's place better than before. If you prefer the old style, loop Velcro on the sleeve, we propose you look into the Bayonet Assault.Top PALS-attachment row opening now points directly upwards. This makes the PALS system even more rigid than beforeBelt has been added a plastic stiffener that helps to carry heavier loads like pistols.On Gen 2/3 belts the Dyneema yarn is grey, and on Gen. 3.1 it's the same colour as the main section of the belt. Note! Product includes only the under belt that attaches to pants, inner belt that goes inside the belt is sold separately, we recommend a sturdier belt equipped with a Cobra buckle, like these from Bayonet ja Helikon! Hey! If you are going to use the battle belt with multiple different pants we recommend getting another under belt. This way you don’t have to take out and put in the under belt every time. Materials & manufacturing The Templar’s Gear M05 products are manufactured from the Finnish Foxa 500 denier Foxdura fabric by using laser cut technology, which enabled us to reduce the weight of the gear without compromising reliability. The material meets the Finnish Defence Forces' requirements for IRR protection and the other materials are also IRR treated. This means that the products can be safely used even in situations where you need to be hidden in the IR spectrum! The laser cut PALS webbings are also extremely durable, because they don’t have stitches which are prone to wear and tear. Special attention has been paid to quality control in Templar’s pouches and gear, because a significant portion of the company’s customers are officials, whose safety and well-being might depend on the gear. Conscription in Finnish military Well, since someone’s going to ask anyway, let’s answer: we do not know if this gear can be used when you are in general conscription. If you want to be polite, you can ask your officer, if it’s okay to use your own gear. However, it’s usually easier to apologize later than to get permission. If necessary, we recommend you demonstrate the features of the gear, for example in the IR spectrum, where you can clearly prove that this gear has been made for military use and is not some Chinese knock-off. Cooperation - Yhteistyö - Współpraca Templar's Gear products are delivered to us straight from the factory in Poland. This means that our product selection is updated to the latest and greatest generation almost in real time as replenishments are ordered. Thanks to the close cooperation and our frequent orders, we also have a chance to forward feedback and new ideas to the respective designers. If you as a user have any ideas for product development, we are happy to share them with Templar's Gear. Extended three-year warranty Templar’s Gear products are granted a three-year warranty. In more concrete manner this means for example products sold on this spring will have warranty for three action packed seasons of airsoft, shooting or whatever you do with them. Warranty covers all problems that should arise from defective materials or poor craftsmanship. Carelessness or misuse voids the warranty.
