High Speed Gear (HSG) is known for making duty-grade tactical gear and nylon equipment and is now coming out with the Gen 2 Taco product line and Gen 2 Operator Belt in two new color options: Silver Tan and Spruce Green. These new additions were developed in direct response to requests from law enforcement agencies seeking mission-specific color variants to better meet uniform and operational needs.

The Gen 2 Taco line builds upon the performance of the original Taco series, known for its versatility, durability and ability to securely hold a wide range of magazines and tools. Now, with the addition of Silver Tan and Spruce Green, agencies can further optimize their gear loadout for their unique environments and uniform standards.

“Many of our law enforcement partners operate in jurisdictions where traditional tactical colors may not be ideal,” said Gary Robbins, Director of Law Enforcement Business Development at High Speed Gear. “By expanding our Gen 2 Taco line, and now the Gen 2 Operator Belt, into Silver Tan and Spruce Green, we’re providing solutions that align with the specific needs and aesthetics of these departments, while maintaining the performance and quality they’ve come to expect from HSG.”

Gen 2 Taco Features:

  • Universal fit for rifle and pistol mags, tools, and other accessories
  • Improved mounting system for MOLLE and belt compatibility
  • Enhanced materials and construction for extended durability in the field

Gen 2 Operator Belt Features:

  • Reinforced two-belt system for superior support and load distribution
  • Hook/loop interface to prevent shifting during movement
  • Compatible with Taco pouches and most tactical gear on the market

MSRP for the Gen 2 Operator Belt is $209, and the MSRP for the Gen 2 Taco pouches vary by size and type. Visit highspeedgear.com for more information on these products or other items from High Speed Gear.
