Nalgene Oasis Canteens

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Nalgene markets the Oasis as the “Canteen Re-imagined” and for those who prefer a traditional style 1 qt canteen, the Oasis is a great choice. Made of modern materials but retaining the classic shape so it fits military canteen pouches and accommodates a canteen cup.

Nalgene Oasis Canteen

The Oasis Canteen has a thirty-two ounces (One quart) capacity and features the Nalgene 38mm narrow mouth closure with military threads to accommodate issued (NBC) caps. Lightweight and guaranteed leakproof, they don’t absorb odors or stain. The translucent color shows fluid level as well as cleanliness. What’s more, they are now BPA free.

Blackhawk canteens

Available in Blue, Grey, and Red from Nalgene. Blackhawk Products Group, on the other hand has secured exclusive rights to the canteens in Foliage Green and Coyote Brown and they are available with or without logo.

Kitanica Jackets

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Every once in awhile we like to show something kind of high end. Kitanica’s jackets aren’t military but have features found in many tactical clothing products. In fact, the company name is derived from the word Chitin (prounced Kai•tin), which is the structural component of insect exoskeletons.

Mythbusters fans will recognize the Kitanica brand, not necessarily by name but by sight. Host Adam Savage wore one of the coats that looks like a cross between a motor cycle jacket and a flight jacket out of a sci fi movie. In fact, Adam’s use of the jacket on the show led to the resurgence of the brand which had gone into hiatus while owner Beej Cronin pursued a career in teaching. Interest became so great that Beej started the company back up along with brother Chris and their cousin Len Riccio.

Kitanica Mark I Jacket

Built from 1000D cordura the Mk I is going to last a lifetime. The unique design features eight pockets, PALS webbing and a universal hands free flashlight shoulder mount. There is also a drag strap integrated behind teh wide collar which can be folded up to protect the neck.

Kitanica backs their 100% American made jackets with a lifetime guarantee against material and manufacturing defects as well as a money back guarantee if you are dissatisfied with your purchase. Kitanica also offers discounts to Military, LE and teachers.

Down Range Gear NOD Retention Devices

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Down Range Gear has introduced two new NOD retention devices to augment their original design. Both are designed to retain and prevent the loss of a helmet mounted NOD but offer slightly different features.

With the ver 2 design a female side release buckle is pinned between the NOD plate and the helmet to form a sturdy socket that will remain on the helmet. The male end of the buckle is tethered to the NOD body via tension adjustable shock cord.

This system can also be upgraded with an improved dummy cord, snapping a female side release buckle onto a PALS loop to secure the NOD while stored.

Down Range Gear ver 2 NOD Lanyard MOLLE Attachment

The ver 3 is a streamlined design and features a male side release buckle that is anchored to the helmet under the NOD plate and tethered to length/tension adjustable shock cord. A short length of webbing keeps the female buckle secured to the device.

Down Range Gear ver 3 NOD Lanyard

Optional steel cable ties are available for environmental extremes that require more than plastic and both versions are available in Coyote Tan and Foliage Green from www.downrangegear.com.
