Abstract: Embodiments of universal adapter system including a receiver component having base portion configured to be coupled to a base belt worn by an individual and a locking mechanism which is operative to be engaged to a mounting bar of an adapter component that is secured to a dynamic load carriage apparatus, wherein the mounting bar is capable of a sliding action that compensates for a shift in load that is associated with the individual are disclosed. In operation, the receiver component may be engaged and disengaged from the adapter component while being worn by the individual using a single-handed operation.

The internal components include a flexible body armor, a ballistic plate, a ballistic frame, and/or a ballistic plate cover. The ballistic frame further includes an electrical system coupled to the frame body, the electrical system including one or more ports in communication with at least one of electrical or communication lines.

Abstract: The tactical hand warmers may have a first glove portion defining a first glove recess that is detachably connected to a second glove portion defining a second glove recess for allowing an individual to warm their hands within the first and second glove recesses either closely together when the first and second glove portions are attached or apart when the first and second glove portions are detached.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for load carriage using a load carriage apparatus. In one implementation, a frame top is disposed at a proximal end of a load carriage frame. The frame top includes a proximal bar and a distal bar each extending between a first side bar and a second side bar. A frame base is disposed at a distal end of the load carriage frame, and the frame base includes a rear portion connected to a first side portion and a second side portion. A spine connects a center portion of the proximal bar of the frame top to the rear portion of the frame base. A first tube extends from the first side bar to the frame base relative to the first side portion. A second tube extends from the second side bar to the frame base relative to the second side portion.
