EOD Gear IMPROVISED – Custom Off The Shelf, What We’re Building, and What’s Coming in 2026

In this episode of EOD Gear IMPROVISED, we break down what Custom Off The Shelf™ really means—and why it continues to outperform one-size-fits-all gear in the real world.

We get into what we’re actively manufacturing at EOD Gear, why owning the process matters, and how speed, quality, and control are becoming non-negotiable in today’s environment. This isn’t about chasing trends or catalogs—it’s about building tools that solve real problems for EOD, Bomb Squad, Special Operations, and law enforcement professionals.

We also lay out our early plans for 2026, starting with SHOT Show, and how we’re thinking about product development, evaluation, and partnerships heading into the next year.

If you’re responsible for selecting, testing, or deploying gear—or you care about how equipment is actually built and evaluated—this episode is for you.
