We’ve talked about it before, Kit Up went into some detail about it. Now you can pre-order it. The bungee creates tension to maintain devices such as counter weights, IR strobes, IR devices, cables, etc. from coming loose when jumping or encountering high-wind conditions. Velcro is great but when it becomes dirty or worn it looses its grip, and paracord and hundred-mile-an-hour tape isn’t much help.

“We call it the Swiss Army Shoe.”
I thought it was getting a little intense in here so I thought I’d break the tension.
The Special Ops Uniform from SpecOpsShop is a US made uniform available in a variety of colorways. In particular, they feature Hyde Definition’s PenCott family of camouflage patterns.
They offer a certain degree of customization and sizes Small – XLarge, regular and long lengths.
Now, THAT’S a stove. The Stove in a Can uses fuel cells (Includes 4 fuel cells for 4-5 hours of cooking time) to rapidly heat any cooking surface. For example, it generates enough heat to boil water in 5 minutes. The fuel cells are a stable and waterproof fuel source that can be stored indefinitely. They can be extinguished and reignited for later use.
As the free world commemorates the one year anniversary of your accomplishment, I pass along my sincerest thanks for a job well done.

Leveraging lessons learned on the Ghostex program with ADS, Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corporation has unveiled Deceptex. Leveraging, a print-on-demand camouflage service they manufacture camouflage as needed rather than stockpiling it. With over 100 distinct patterns already loaded on the site, they’ve already got our attention.
The concept of operations is simple. Hyperstealth will use their two large format digital inkjet textile printers to print fabric for any Deceptex pattern and this will be manufactured into uniforms.
So what makes this different than Ghostex? For one thing, availability. Ghostex was limited to Government clients whereas Deceptex is available to the general public. Additionally, Ghostex features NIR treatments and Deceptex will be limited to visual spectrum camouflage only.
Deceptex will be available for orders beginning Summer 2012.

Arc’teryx LEAF colorist Kavan Cronin discusses the theory and reasons behind the new Urban Wolf color technology.
This is an artist’s rendering of a new bump helmet from Team Wendy to be unveiled later this month at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in Tampa, Florida. Team Wendy actually started as a company to make sport helmets and then began to apply their materials know-how to padding systems for military helmets. Ultimately, they developed the Zorbium Action Pad system that is the only authorized shock absorbing padding system for US Army helmets. Since then, they’ve developed a couple of new helmet liner systems such as EPIC and have combined this latest liner technology with a bump shell designed specifically for tactical applications.
