Esstac has built a loyal following among military, law enforcement, and shooting enthusiasts by sticking to one core principle: build gear that works - every time. Founded by a small team of craftsmen in Washington State, Esstac’s gear is proudly handmade in the USA and designed to perform in the toughest environments.
Known for their no-nonsense approach, Esstac doesn’t chase trends or gimmicks - they focus on durability, retention, and function. Their products are simple, intuitive, and built to last through years of hard use on the range or in the field.
We carry many of Esstac’s most proven and best-selling items:
- KYWI Magazine Pouches – The product that put Esstac on the map. The Kywi line (short for Kydex Wedge Insert) combines the rigidity of Kydex with the flexibility of nylon for perfect magazine retention — no straps, no fuss, no noise. Available for rifle and pistol mags, in single, double, and triple configurations.
- Duty & Shooter’s Belts – Esstac belts are designed for shooters who demand a reliable foundation. With rugged materials, a stiffened core, and modular attachment options, they offer the perfect balance between comfort and strength.
- Chest Rigs & Placards – Built for versatility and ease of use, Esstac rigs can be customized with Kywi inserts or pouches to fit any mission or training loadout.
- Pouches & Accessories – From dump pouches to admin panels, every piece of Esstac gear is made to the same high standard — simple, durable, and functional.
Esstac has earned its reputation by doing things the hard way - handcrafting gear in small batches and testing everything in real-world conditions. Their gear isn’t flashy - it’s built for performance, reliability, and longevity.
