Magnum USA has introduced two improved waterproof and insulated jackets, the Sparta Jacket and Taurus Softshell. Additionally, they are available in Black and Navy which are great colors for many LE as well First Responders. Both jackets feature Tec-Proof, a thermo-active waterproof breathable fabric. Both jackets incorporate adjustable Velcro cuffs, standard front zipper closure and low-profile branding. Additionally, Magnum enlarged Velcro patches on the sleeves of the Sparta.
Imagine if the Soldiers had been wearing OCP.

This photo, taken this week at SecureTech, is of HyperStealth Biotechnology Corporation’s urban camo pattern called CUEPAT-2.
According to a post on Facebook, “This is the unconventional pattern in field trials, previous computer simulations showed this pattern to be quite effective for both outdoor and indoor urban environments. The perceived depth within the pattern throws off the ambient and focal vision from noticing the target.”
This is CUEPAT-1 is a more traditional pattern.
Developed under contract for the Canadian Department of National Defence, Defence Research and Development Canada Suffield, (DRDC-S) to develop a Canadian Urban Environment Pattern (CUEPAT) based on the unique requirements of Canada’ss three major metropolitan areas, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
These patterns are currently under trial and the winner will end up being used for CBRNE suits. We also hear rumor that the DND is talking about expanding the pattern(s) to CANSOF use.

We ran across an interesting tidbit online recently. Falcon Ops Group is hosting trainer Chris Costa for a 3-day Advanced Carbine as well as a 3-day Advanced Pistol. This is Chris Costa on his lonesome and not Magpul Dynamics although Falcon does state that this isn’t something he normally does. Interesting…
In the first test of its kind, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is will be conducting a nationwide test on television and radio on 9 November, 2011. Unlike normal weekly tests it will last a full three minutes and be conducted simultaneously on all domestic radio and television carriers. Do not be alarmed.
Sorry for any confusion. The test is 9 November, 2011.
