I really dig the Reinforcement Hat SF from Taiga. It’s fleece lined and has a short brim which can be flipped up out of the way, if need be. Available in Green, MultiCam and Snow Camo.

Milipol 19 – Polartec Showcases P1GTAC Products
Wednesday, November 20th, 2019One of the great things about Polartec is that they showcase products from manufacturers who use their materials. Although not well known, Ukrainian brand P1GTAC has some rather innovative designs. What’s really interesting is that military inspired fashion has really taken off in Ukraine since the beginning of their civil war involving neighboring Russia, with many Ukrainians wanting to show national pride.
The Punisher Combat Winter Patrol Jacket is insulated with Polartec Alpha, a highly breathable insulation.
The Frogman Range Workout Jacket and Pant look awful comfy in the Polartec 200 Series fleece.
Milipol 19 – New Gore-Tex Rainsuits for France and Germany
Tuesday, November 19th, 2019Both France and Germany have adopted new Gore-Tex rainsuits, with France picking up two different variants.
To the front is the ensemble initially developed for use by French Mountain Troops but now rolling out for the entire Infantry. Manufactured from a 3-layer Gore laminate, it features reinforcements on the trousers as well as an oversized hood to accommodate both a climbing helmet as well as the Felin helmet. Interestingly, they used a 2-layer laminate in the hood to make it drape better.
The uniform at the rear is made from a 2-layer Gore laminate and will be issued across the entire French military to non-Infantry and non-SOF.
This is Germany’s new wet weather suit for use by all the Infantry and SOF. Deemed a 2-layer plus, the laminate features a durable coating on the inside.
