Hybrid Spectra® (HBS) Bracelet 855

First batch just shipped out to HettyKat…

• Black
• Green
• Desert Camo

Checking through the archives the last HBS 855 was custom made about 6 months ago; this cord is getting hard to source so it’s going to be a while before anymore are made…

Over the next few weeks I will be building a full production workshop for custom Kydex® sheaths and will upload some prototypes as soon as they are ready.

Hybrid Spectra® (HBS) Bracelet 855

This is a sneak preview of the HBS 855 Bracelet that I am reintroducing. It has an inner core of Spectra® (550lb test tensile strength) with an outer sheath of 550 paracord and features the End User Adjustment System for a custom fit.

Shown here with the SERE Black Ops “V” Cutter installed for quick draw.

The HBS 855 will be rolled out in various colours and will include a colour matched Acetal 25kg certified load rated Side Release Buckles (SRB) that is now available in Tan, Olive Drab and Black. You can also request something different as shown in the photo with a contrasting buckle.

• Navy Blue with a Tan Acetal SRB

• Maroon with a Olive Drab Acetal SRB.

BCB Button Compass and SOLAS retro reflective dot standard.

SERE Black “V” Cutter with Black Technora® Tether optional.

Spectra® is a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre used in armour, in particular, personal armour and on occasion as vehicle armour, cut-resistant gloves. It has extremely low moisture absorption, has a very low coefficient of friction, is self-lubricating, and is highly resistant to abrasion (in some forms, 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel).
Spectra® is gel spun, also known as dry-wet spinning, is used to obtain high strength or other special properties in the fibres. The polymer is in a “gel” state, only partially liquid, which keeps the polymer chains somewhat bound together. These bonds produce strong inter-chain forces in the fibre, which increase its tensile strength. The polymer chains within the fibres also have a large degree of orientation, which increases strength. The fibres are first air dried, then cooled further in a liquid bath. Some high strength polyethylene and aramid fibres are produced via this process.

“Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd: Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to “run” or just search for cmd. Open it up, and type in ping [website address], like so:

Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL and hit enter/press go. Typing in 208.85.240.231 should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing 174.121.194.34/dashboard should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access Tumblr regularly, you should, like, save this list, I guess”

FQFOB HBK 745 (UV Coated Hybrid Kevlar®)

It looks very similar to the standard FQFOB but has been constructed using UV coated Hybrid Kevlar® Cord with a 550 paracord outer.

As with any FQFOB the operator can easily unravel the cord in less than 5 seconds!

- For speed use a knife to cut away the retainer knot.
- If you have the time you can untie the knot.
- With retainer knot removed now pull out the two pieces of end cord.
- Then pull hard on the end loop whilst holding bracelet tight.
- Keep pulling until all cord is free.
- Run the cord through you hands to straighten it out.
- You now have approx. 4 x 6ft of UV coated Kevlar® Cord + 1 x 6ft of 550 outer cord sheath; a total of 30ft in a FOB!

Cutting the knot off is the quickest method.

There is also another method; using an object such as a pen, key etc push where the two pieces of cord protrude from the retainer knot.
This will cause the cord to go inwards and the knot will start to undo.

- Weight 9g (standard 550 FQFOB 12g).
- Length 3½” (88.9mm excl end loops)
- Potential  tensile strength 745lb “Stronger-Than-Steel”
- Attach to keys, MOLLE, pocket tools etc.

With keys attached this product can be utilised as an improvised self-defence tool
*The inner strands and outer 550 sheath can be used as a field expedient friction saw for cutting through rope, gaffa tape, zip-ties etc

“Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow?

Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?

During the day, computer screens look good—they’re designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn’t be looking at the sun.

F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.

It’s even possible that you’re staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better” - F.lux

I have just downloaded a version for Windows XP and will be trying this over the next few days….

31 DEC 2011 17:37 hrs GMT it’s now dark outside and the light emitting from my screen has reduced slightly; it’s an off white colour; the cursor has remained white so you can see the difference in contrast/brightness. I agree with F.lux this setup reduces eye fatigue. - nice ツ
