When it comes to the world of professional military equipment, chances are you will have heard of Dragon Supplies. Whether you have been posted to your first unit, preparing for your first exercise, or are an NCO looking for bespoke load-carrying solutions such as webbing or a daysack, Dragon Supplies has likely crossed your radar at one point or another.
As a retailer committed to offering only the best-in-class tactical brands, we are proud to stock Dragon Supplies. In this guide, we’ll dive into why this brand is a cornerstone of our load carriage collection and why it remains a top choice for the modern military professional.
Dragon Supplies’ History
Dragon Supplies was established in 1999 by Gary Day. It started small - at Gary's kitchen table in fact, where he sought to provide the British Armed Forces with kit and tailoring that met a standard that standard-issue kit often would be unable to reach.
Over the last 25 years, the company has grown into a big name in the industry. They’re now a large team working out of Colchester, the home of 16 Air Assault Brigade. This proximity to serving members of the Parachute Regiment isn't a coincidence; it allows their design team to gather real-time feedback from units in the British Army, ensuring every piece of kit is up to their high standards before it hits the shelves.
Why Taskforce Military Carries Dragon Supplies
Exceptional Quality & Build - Most Dragon Supplies gear is manufactured right here in the UK using 1000D Cordura and high-tensile stitching. Their equipment is designed to survive the relentless cycle of mud, rain, weight and high-intensity movement it’ll be expected to face in the field whilst on exercise or on a promotion course.
Military Tailoring
Dragon Supplies is well known for its military tailoring. They transformed the way soldiers carry their kit by specialising in:
-
Dragon Supplies Tailored Webbing: Custom-built belt kits that sit higher, remain stable, and maximise comfort during long tabs.
-
Modified Dragon Supplies Bergens and daysacks: Adding floating lids, side mesh pouches, helmet carriage systems and Bergen mesh backs to the standard-issue Bergen to make heavy loads more manageable.
Innovative Design
Their Cobra Buckle integrations into their tailored webbing for rapid release and safety to their specialised MOLLE systems, Dragon Supplies stays at the cutting edge of military equipment design.
