New Ops-Core Buckle

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Ops-Core has engineered a new buckle for their chinstrap in order to improve the grip while wearing gloves. Additionally, the new design in conjunction with a slight change in how it is attached to the webbing will stop webbing material from preventing the buckle to close.

We found this example in the Safariland booth all jocked up for a dynamic entry. It gives you a great idea of how well accessories blend in with the base uniform in this pattern.

782 Gear is Smokin

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

782 Gear's Smokin Jacket and PantsBased on the venerable field jacket and pant liners, the new Smokin line is made from an 1.1 oz FR fabric shell with FR insulation. It is reversible with color options including Coyote, Foliage Green and MultiCam. The design echos the old issue field jacket liner with underarm vents and would fit perfectly under a field uniform but it has a zipper down the front of the sweater rather than button holes we are used to. The Smokin line will feature a Full Zip Sweater, Chaps, Quarter Zip shirt, Vest, and Blanket. 782’s new website should be launched around the first of February but until then visit www.782gear.com.
