A Brief Intro to Arrowhead
Arrowhead was born out of frustration, stubbornness, and a belief of the possible. More than a decade of 100mph tape, 550 cord, zip-ties, note card sketches, tinkering with kit, and the constant feeling that the issued equipment just left so much to be desired.
So we’ve taken these lessons and hard won experience, from the mountains of Dahlonega, Georgia to Kandahar, Afghanistan and winters in the Baltics, to the draws of the Carolina Piedmont, and we distilled them down into material solutions (to start).
In time we’ll start posting specifics about products to come, and we’ll discuss the specific applications they were designed around and the problems they each aim to solve.
We only make equipment that brings a significant change or capability to the market that does not exist already. There are countless companies currently in the space that make incredible gear. We have no interest in cloning something that is already being done well, slapping our logo on it and screaming innovation.
On the contrary we are currently and will continue to make every effort for all of the equipment we produce to remain backwards compatible with the widest possible amount of existing kit. We surely have kit we have used forever and still love and it’s our opinion that you shouldn’t have to buy an exclusive suite of gear that only works with other products from a single brand. We will also look forward to try and make all of our fielded equipment as “future-proofed” as possible.
Scalable and Modular are words thrown around a lot in the gear world. So much so that we believe they have lost their true meaning, or at least their meaning has been diluted into something that’s functionally insignificant. Arrowhead kit is truly modular and scalable.
Further, we have created new technologies that bring that modularity and scalability to your mission / operation. For 20+ years we have used MOLLE, hook and loop, and plastic buckles to great effect, and the gear industry has shown exponential growth and innovation in that time. But now it’s time to usher in a fresh paradigm shift and fully leverage emerging technologies, material science and manufacturing to reach out towards the true limits of what is currently possible.
With Arrowhead kit, you will be able to tailor fit your equipment to yourself and to your mission set and flexibly transform your kit to meet changing needs during an operation, without having to weave MOLLE or rip hook and loop in the field.
We aim high not only for the inherent value of achieving something new and different, but because our warfighters, public servants and prepared citizens deserve the best, bleeding edge kit.
If you’ve read this far, we appreciate you, and we are so incredibly excited to share what we’ve been hard at work on!
