Unconventional Solutions™ | The Operator Band™

Unfortunately, we are no longer producing The Operator Band™ which was the first band designed to fit the mission needs of Special Operations personnel. Created by a Special Forces S.E.R.E Level C graduate the components of the band are intended to provide everything needed when encountering a survival situation.

Make sure you keep reading for our 5 alternate options, listed below.

Each Operator Band came standard with seven different survival tools. This included essential items such as removable/reusable hidden handcuff key in the buckle for an escape from illegal restraint,  80lb test braided fishing line used to make a snare or shelter, 18″ 45lb test water snare wire,  and a ferrocerium fire starter that burns at over 3000 degrees.

Upgrades to the Operator Band could be applied with the addition of LiveFire® Paracord and/or a Suunto® Clipper Compass. The LiveFire Paracord was an additional strip of cord down the center of the band that was internally coated with a flammable chemical agent. The Clipper Compass offered an illuminating bezel, rotating declination dial, and waterproof encasing, detachable from the band when needed. The accuracy of the compass allowed for the ability to set declination for easy day and night navigation.
