About Us

Built by Americans. Trusted by Operators.

American Operator Gear was born from a simple conviction: the men and women who run toward danger deserve gear that's built as tough as they are — designed in America, made to last, and engineered by people who understand the mission.

Our Story

AOG was founded by Jason Bunderson with one goal in mind — to close the gap between off-the-shelf tactical gear and the real-world demands of law enforcement, military, and serious EDC professionals.

What began as a single design has been refined, tested, and rebuilt over seven iterations into what is now the EDC Flex Belt — one of the most evolved everyday carry belts on the market. Each version was shaped by real feedback from real operators, pushing the design further until the comfort, retention, and durability met the standard the job demands.

American Operator Gear grew out of that decade of innovation and a deep partnership with the innovative minds at Dominate Defense — a team with a proven track record of developing tactical solutions for professionals who can't afford to compromise. Together, we've channeled that expertise into every product we make.

American-Made. No Exceptions.

We believe in American craftsmanship. Every AOG product is built using time-tested, proprietary materials and hardware — sourced and manufactured right here in the United States. This isn't a marketing line. It's a commitment to quality, accountability, and supporting the communities that support us.

When you buy AOG, you're not just getting gear. You're investing in American manufacturing and the people behind it.

Designed for the Mission

Our products are engineered for the people who carry every day — not just on the range, but on the job, in the field, and in life. That means obsessing over comfort, durability, and function in equal measure. We don't cut corners on materials. We don't ship products we wouldn't trust ourselves.

Every design decision starts with one question: Will this hold up when it counts?

Our Mission

To equip American operators — law enforcement, military, and EDC professionals — with the highest-quality, American-made tactical gear available. We exist to serve the community that serves us all.
