If You've Ever Been Burned by Bad Gear, This Is for You

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Bought gear that fell apart

  • Tired of hype from influencers

  • Drawers full of unused junk

  • No trusted gear standard

  • Wasted cash on bad armor

  • Want to stay sharp post-service

  • Need gear that won’t fail

  • New and don’t want to look dumb

If so, just know I’ve been there and you’re not alone...

I COULDN’T TAKE IT ANY MORE

I was tired of watching people get screwed by low-quality gear.

As a Navy EOD Tech, I’ve seen first-hand what happens when gear fails under pressure. Most people don’t know what to look for—and it’s costing lives, money, and trust.

THE TRUTH IS

Most Gear Out There Isn’t Made for the Field

But once you know what to check, you’ll never get burned again. I’ve boiled down decades of real-world experience into short, focused certifications you can start using today.

ABOUT US

Meet Steve Cassidy

Navy EOD Veteran. Founder of EOD Gear. Decades of field and gear experience. Now helping the next generation of warriors become trusted voices in tactical gear.

Nothing much to say besides this product is incredible. Practical, string, and gives you two extra mags without having to load up the front or cbund. I have products from Shaw, first spear, Axl, etc. And warrior assault systems quality is on pat with and even better than some.. EOD gear is where I go when wanting to find something and only go elsewhere if I can't find it at eod. Best communication and customer service I've ran into to date. Product was shipped and at my door in a matter of a couple days. If you're not shopping here you're wrong. And if you want quality gear, warrior assault systems is def a top contender. I did make one upgrade and cut down some esstac retention inserts and stuck them into the mag pockets. I'm sure they would have been fine with just the retention cord but when running and gunning and rolling around, a little extra measure won't hurt. Overall a 10/10 for WAS And an 11/10 for EOD gear. They love and take care of soldiers, vets and civilians alike, and it shows.

First off I couldn’t find this Garmin pouch anywhere but across seas or in Canada, so when I found it on here I had never hear of eodgear. So upon emailing them they were extremely fast with the response.

Top tier ish! They informed me that it was in stock so of course I bought it. Second the shipping was also fast. Faster then Amazon. Third it was exactly what I needed for my garmin gps 64sx. Fits like a glove and not the one OJ wore. The pouch fits on my hill people gear sar kit like it were made for it. Lastly they sent stickers my boi!!! I love me some stickers like women love their makeup. There was a warm fuzzy feeling of relief when I opened the package but the next day to have the pouch and stickers. It came in a box that seemed like it were made for it. This is good stuff here I’ll tell you what. I can’t recommend this place enough! Have to order from here again even if I don’t need the stuff just from my experience. Another bonus is that it was $15 cheaper than ordering from another country without shipping.

I had been searching for hard plates for several weeks when I happened to visit the EOD Gear store. They had a great selection of hard plates, they asked me the right questions about my requirements, and they provided the right solution at a great price. They got my business. The communications were fantastic, and I received exactly what I was looking for - they even helped me set up and adjust my vest! And the store is a great place just to hang out - a lot of interesting people come in frequently. I highly recommend EOD Gear.
