A wide range of leg rigs are now on the market for weapon retention and a secondary means of carrying kit. Ares Armor added to your potential choices by releasing their First Responder Drop Leg, which offers combined ammo and medical gear carry. The design is based on their Raider Quick Pull Medical Pouch with quick access to blow-out kit. Your various medical tools and supplies are secured within a zip open pouch utilizing elastic loops. An underlying layer of dual mag pouches provides top access to 5.56 magazines for reload. The drop leg is attached utilizing a detachable buckle that is mounted to your belt. The rig connects in at this point, while a separate strap secures the kit to your leg. A portion of this strap utilizes elastic, so that it conforms to your leg and adjusts with muscle movement. At the rear of the First Responder Drop Leg are additional elastic loops to secure your primary weapon magazine, which you can quickly pull free when ready to load your firearm. A large Velcro pouch at the rear provides the capability to secure moderate sized tools. The First Responder Drop Leg is now available in Black, Coyote, OD, MultiCam, and A-TACS Camo Patterns. Ares Armor is also now introducing Kryptek camouflage patterns including the Highlander, Mandrake, and Typhon selection. You have the choice to have the red medical ross included. The Ares Armor drop-leg rig can also be utilized for multipurpose storage by storing all types of necessary kit and ammo in lieu of medical supplies based on your own personal requirements.
