First Tactical Recoil Range Bag

First Tactical are focused on providing the end-user with product that is specific to their requirements, guided by innovation and reliability. Their design process combines both advanced technical materials with state-ofthe- art components. First Tactical products are built to offer fully functional gear, precisely created for professionals in the military, emergency and police services. Their range of tactical clothing and equipment has been designed to tick all the boxes; it’s durable, it’s functional and it works. With a wide range of clothing, knives, torches, pouches, packs and footwear, you will be able to kit yourself out with equipment that was built to last, and not break the bank doing so!

In the first part of this year, I received one of their packs and have been subjecting the Tactix 1 Day Plus Pack to some of my very own ‘Field Testing’ since then; it’s been dragged up mountains, thrown in the corner of the tent and the footwell of the jeep, and it’s even been dropped in a river! So far it’s just shrugged and seems to say “what next?”

This gives you great confidence in a brand, so when First Tactical asked me if I would like to check out a couple of their range bags, then I was happy to oblige. The Recoil Range Bag, at £79.95, is the dedicated range bag in the line, and its copious 40.5-litres of storage allows you to carry your airsoft pistols, magazines and ammunition safely and securely. Made with tough 600D polyester and closed foam padding to keep your reserve organized while on the go. Specialized internal pockets and compartments suit all your storage needs in this first class tactical bag.

Clever Features

Stiff padded dividers compartmentalise pull out carriers for easy organisation. It comes complete with two pistol pockets and 10 pistol mag pockets, which are outlined on the front to keep your shooting simple. There’s also a specialised compartment for storage of tactical cleaning tools. The pocket flap unzips and folds down to reveal an oil resistant lining made for your cleaning needs. Depending on your needs, the main compartment has a Velcro flap, which opens the zip loop allowing the zip sliders to overlap for easy locking. The Recoil is available in Black or Coyote Tan.

The fully functional Guardian Patrol Bag provides ample space for essential gear and supplies while on the range. Durable 600D polyester and premium hardware provide a tough, sturdy exterior, while stiffened dividers and a hard bottom, which helps the bag retain its shape provide an unbeatably functional interior. At 41.5-litres, it’s a different configuration to the Recoil, and it’s easy to find a place for everything with three mesh internal pockets and external admin panel. The main compartment opens to three full panels of Velcro, allowing for ultimate customisation, and the shoulder strap has a nonslip design for added grip, security, and comfort. Priced at £59.95 the Guardian is available in Black.

Once again I’ve come away very impressed indeed with two exceptionally well-designed and bomber tough items from First Tactical. I’m due up in Hereford soon, so I’ll be looking forward to visiting the new shop, which is above the wellestablished and well-respected Trekitt outdoor store in Eign Gate, to see the full First Tactical range of gear, clothing, and footwear, and of course I’ll report back when I do.
