Blue Force Gear Adds Urban Wolf Grey to Color Options

The world is increasingly urbanizing and that environment is often a grey hue. Last year, Arc’teryx launched a new color called Urban Wolf which was designed to blend into urban sprawl. It also turns out that this grey tone has become quite popular with not only LE but also guys who don’t want to wear military-style camouflage yet still want to blend in.

While Arc’teryx has done a great job of introducing the color into their line, there are a lot of products that they just don’t make. Fortunately for us, Blue Force Gear does make things like load bearing systems and armor carriers. And now, they offer them in Urban Wolf.

“Urban Wolf is basically the color of wet concrete, near the color values of asphalt, steel, and reflective glass,” said John Felushko, Blue Force Gear’s Product Line Manager. “It was designed by Arc’teryx specifically as a better alternative to black and blue in the SWAT role but because of its ability to blend with diverse terrains, we like it as a general purpose colorway for many missions, terrains, and tactics.”

New Blue Force Gear products in Urban Wolf are on display May 14 – 15 in the Franklin Boardroom of the Embassy Suites across the Tampa Convention Center Franklin walkway.

Look for Urban Wolf as a color option for most Blue Force Gear products starting today.

    Though grey is a well rounded color for urban, I think Ranger Green is a better option. It has a greyish look to it in certain light, from what I have seen vs. grey it blends equal or better in urban environments and blends well in wooded and arid well too.

        I think that the idea is not so much to blend in with just the buildings and plants & trees but the environment as a whole and this means not standing out in terms of your color choices. The problem with OD/Ranger green is that it stands out in an urban environment with all sorts of bright colors, plus plain blacks & whites, it just screams military/tactical where as grey doesn’t stand out as being tactical while at the same time giving you some level of camouflage.

    I like it, never cared for black gear (aesthetically, more then anything). I feel like grey will look less out of place mixed with other patterns and hide dirt better.

    I do wonder with so many people switching to coyote, grey and foliage if OD/Ranger green will start to have a less tactical connotation over time…
