Wednesday, September 7th, 2011Vertx Smock Sneak Peek
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011Vertx has had a smock in development for some time but production models should hit the market in Fall. Just in time for winter in Afghanistan! As you can see from the articulated design, stowaway hood, and pocket layout, this is very much a modern take on a traditional item. But Vertx has updated more than just the basic concept. Vertx will be offering their take on the smock in a synthetic material called Storm which is the same fabric used in the Gunfighter Storm Shirt. It features a 40D face fabric and is anti-microbial. Naturally, it’s MultiCam.
Combat Flip Flops Update
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011The question has come up as to where in Afghanistan that the Combat Flip Flops will be made. Here are pictures taken recently at the factory that will be used.

C4OPS Hybrid Headset
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
Silynx has just released the C4OPS Hybrid Headset Configuration. Designed for use in high noise environments such as aircraft and boats, it consists of an in ear bud paired with an optional helmet mounted boom microphone. The kit features a modified steel core cable, new cable MOLLE clips, and a modified collar/vest clip.
Designed specifically with the Ops Core chinstrap, the boom integrates with their proprietary buckle. While primarily envisioned for use with the FAST helmet, the Ops Core chinstrap is standard issue throughout SOCOM for the MICH and is available for use with numerous helmet shells so there is a great deal of versatility here.
It features a quick disconnect connector.
