Ferro Concepts Releases New 5” Assault Cummerbund

by Drew Bryant · March 21, 2026

Ferro Concepts has introduced its new 5” Assault Cummerbund (5AC), a semi-rigid system designed to enhance stability and weight distribution for the end user.

Built with a focus on both structure and adaptability, the 5AC utilizes color-matched laser-cut thermoplastic paired with a hidden stretch section that automatically adjusts to the user’s movement. This combination allows the cummerbund to maintain rigidity where needed while still offering flexibility for comfort during extended wear.

Cable Management

One of the standout features of the 5AC is its integrated interior One-Wrap system, which provides dedicated routing for communications cables and accessory management. The cummerbund can also be flipped, allowing users to configure cable routing along either the top or bottom depending on their setup.

Below is product description and features of the 5AC provided by Ferro Concepts.
