ULTRACOMP®
Blue Force Gear's proprietary high-performance laminate, ULTRACOMP®, far exceeds the military standard air textured nylon in tear and abrasion resistance. Its hydrophobic (liquid shedding) features allow products to stay dry and light while air textured nylon retains water and gets even heavier when wet.
When America's Elite go to work, they demand the best. Blue Force Gear has answered that call by blending art and science to create a truly unique material - ULTRACOMP®. ULTRAcomp® combines the properties of a rubber-based laminate - resistance to tears, abrasion, water absorption, flame resistance, bacteria and fungus - and added a Cordura® fabric facing for infinite colors, patterns and reduced IR signature. The sum is greater than its individual parts. The combined strength of the two materials allows our designers to push the limits on weight savings while exceeding established standards of strength and durability.

Modern Military Gear - One Fused Laminate
Modern tactical gear starts with ULTRACOMP®, which combines the durability of a polymer-based laminate with the benefits of a Cordura® face fabric. This is a case where the sum is greater than the parts in creating a unique material resistant to tear, abrasion and water all while reducing IR signature in any number of colors and camouflage patterns.
A Solid MOLLE Pouch Attachment System
Creating Superior Tactical Gear
ULTRACOMP® makes plate carriers, battle belts, molle pouches and more – stronger and lighter. The clear advantage of computer-controlled laser cutting allows for more accurate, more intricate and more efficient gear designs. Less sewn parts, less material and less potential failure points.
ULTRACOMP® does more with less.
