When in the field of battle – whether on domestic streets or overseas – having gear that you can depend on is a must have, period. That’s why so many military and law enforcement officers choose Gear Keeper® to keep their firearm where they need it, when they need it. The company’s Tactical line includes everything you’ll need for your sidearm and more including Retractable Side Arm Tethers; a new 360° Rotating MOLLE Mount; and a new Integrated Retractable Holster. All are field-tested and designed to be ultra tough, highly functional and time-after-time dependable.
Gear Keeper Retractable Side Arm Tethers are available in Low Force and Super Force models. Low Force models have no resistance on the firearm and act as a safety tether. With a 3 oz. retraction force, a 36” extension length and a 60 lb. break strength, it is recommended for when a firearm is extended for long periods of time. The Super Force model suspends the firearm, and works as a stabilization force when aiming. With 24 oz. retraction force, a 32” extension and an 80 lb. break strength, it is recommended for short duration use.
Both models are designed with a low profile lanyard to prevent snagging, and to keep your firearm comfortably and snuggly against your person allowing for better mobility. Made to operate in extreme environments with maximum break strength and durability, the retractors feature a patented saltwater proof flushing system that keeps debris out as the line retracts. In the rare case the line does get entangled, the retractor has a defined break-away point so you can easily disconnect the firearm with the company’s patented Q/C-II Connection system.
The new 360° Rotating MOLLE Mount lets you carry 2 MOLLE attachment options in one product. A secure and compact mount rotates minimizing resistance and line fatigue and ultimately allowing you to extend the line at different angles more comfortably. Available in three different sizes to fit your needs, the mount comes in 3 oz. retraction force/36” extension; 6 oz. retraction force/36” extension; and 9 oz. retraction force/32” extension. All are available in the color black or coyote.
Finally, the tactical lineup now features the company’s new Integrated Retractable Holster, which has the benefits of a holster all with the security and ease of use of a retractable tether. Compact, quiet and safe, this holster is a win-win-win preventing loss or damage to your gear. The holster comes in three sizes for all of your electronic gear that you want to keep clean and protected. The smallest – HR9-0541 is ideal for laser pointers or a tactical flashlight, the medium HR9-4542 works well for GPS units or other small electronic devices; and the large HR9-6542 can house a tactical radio.
The original Geer Keeper system was engineered specifically for SCUBA diving literally born out of a need to secure items in situations when hands are otherwise occupied. Gear Keeper systems are now available in more than 3,000 configuration options and used in applications from hiking, fishing and hunting to law enforcement, military and trucking.
