NBOW – FIVE TEN

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

FIVE TEN is now producing the Water Tennie. It looks like a water and climbing shoe mated and had a really cool kid. Originally intended as a kayaking shoe, some of our Nation’s Finest saw them and thought they might work for certain mission sets as VBSS. It turns out they were right. Add a sticky AquaStealth rubber sole with a rubberized toe, ankle coverage and mesh panels, the Water Tennie is just as great for recreation as MAROPS.

NRA American Warrior Issue 04

Friday, September 9th, 2011

I am a huge fan of NRA Life of Duty’s online magazine, “American Warrior.” It’s very well laid out and features the kind of stuff we like to see.

Check out issue 04. Articles include info on Back Up Guns, a 9/11 tribute, recreational activities and a very well laid out editorial by NRA Executive Vice President Wayne Lapierre entitled, “Shut Up About the SEALs.” With 130 pages of content, there’s no way we could cover it all here, so go rad it for yourself.

The torso and monkey paw cuffs of the Combat Shirt uses the Polartec Power Dry FR with sleeves and yoke made from the new lightweight TenCate fabric recently adopted by the US Army. Alternatively, if FR is not required, 50/50 NYCO will be used in place of the TenCate fabric. The cuffs can be turned under when not needed. The torso fabric extends up into the armpit area to enhance breathability and range of motion. It also features inset zipped sleeve pockets with Velcro patches and a left forearm poacket as well as a mandarin zipped collar.

Despite a low profile silhouette the pants still offer 11 pockets. Optional cord loops after the ability to dummy cord critical items and a semi-elastic waistband make for comfort when layers are added or subtracted. A flush hammer loop to the left rear handles knives or other tools. Flat rear and front thigh pockets help reduce bulk.

These will make a great alternative combat ensemble for those who do not use the standard Army and Marine uniform options. I’ve not even touched on all of the features so be sure to look for more info at www.782gear.com.
