Blue Ridge Overland Gear

Wanted to pass along a brief review of some quality products from a really great business.





Blue Ridge Overland Gear
Based in Bedford, VA.

"was conceived and nurtured in a shed (we call it the "thread shed") Armed with nothing but some material, a sewing machine, and a desire to make something useful, the first products were made and tested. Some products passed the tests, others did not. Lessons were learned and progress continues.
Numerous iterations and ideas continue to be brought to life in the shed. Our lack of typical bureaucracy allows us to rapidly work through the product design process. It also gives us the flexibility to respond more quickly to our customers' needs one-on-one.
With Blue Ridge Overland Gear, you can be sure that clever and durable design elements are sewn into every product. We make these products first for ourselves, then our customer — ensuring the highest quality possible."


The first purchase I made was a Visor Organizer.


Came across this on Liz's build page @TinyTech626
Simple but very efficient. Build and stitched really well. I have a pen and pencil, spray sanitizer and a pocket knife hanging from the molle loops. In the pouch I keep my state forest pass.

Then, I recently added some hook to my Carhartt seat covers with the idea of attaching two of their pouches on them to keep small items out of the way and rattle free.

Medium:


Small, Clear:


Work perfectly in the locations that I place the hook.

Project came out pretty much how I was hoping. The sewing part was a pita though, as I was expecting.

 

That's the beauty of doing things yourself though. The learning process and the satisfaction of saving money and getting exactly what you want.

 

@GHOST SHIP Let me go get some pictures to show ya.

 

@GHOST SHIP added some "real" pictures.

 

Double "Likes"!

Looks Good, Funk! @james Daniel has their molle seatback panel in his AC and it's pretty awesome. Well built and useful piece that is sure to last, not like the "tacticool" stuff you can get at a lot of paintball/airsoft or online retailers. For those that don't know, the key to a good working molle panel is a hard insert that is built into the panel itself. Without it, any weight placed on the straps causes the panel to sag and become flimsy. This becomes an issue when you try to retrieve something and your pouches have a lot of play in them. Over time the whole thing just looks like a wet mop with gear hanging off it. Definitely buying from BRO now that I have my molle panel behind my rear seats.

I'm very happy with this pannel, really glad it did not sag at all

 

Looks good.
They really do know what they are doing.

 

I love my Blue Ridge Overland gear. Plan on getting more.

Seat back panel, pouches, visor organizer, travel pouch.

 

Well done!! I love mine, plan on getting the second for the passenger seat, though there isn't much room for the amount of pouches I have on my drivers side due to my 1st in bag, two helmets and my rope tech bag, I'm hoping I can still get a few smaller pouches on it and stow some camera supplies and smaller items one it.

 

What sizes did you guys get? How is the coverage?

 

Liking the looks of this bag.

Great ideas, very well built and thought out.

 

I cant really remember what size i got maybe 14x20. Fits really well for my needs.

 

That was the one I got.

 

you wont be disappointed, All the shit they make is top quality stuff.

 

I think I am ordering the first aid pack next and another seat panel.

 

Have you seen the tool and recovery bags? Those do not disappoint. Again, well made and well thought out.
I know I am sounding like a broken record by say that about their gear, but it really is true.
