Yes, We’ve Got Shills
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012For years you couldn’t comment on SSD. Then, we opened it up, and there are days that we wish we hadn’t, like the ones where we figure out that shills are coming in and decrying the competition. They are here, like a case of bedbugs. So, read the recent comments with a tainted eye. And, for the folks coming in and pretending to be a concerned citizen, we’ve got some advice. Just remember, your behavior isn’t risk free and we record your IP. In case you think it’s ok to come in and spread ill will for gain, take a look at the link.

Tighten your shot groups up or we’re going to have to change the comments portion of our program.
Why Are “We” Sucked In by Con Artists?
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012Lord knows every type of business has their fair share of con artists. For us, every trade show, they pop up like bad pennies. iO9 takes a stab at explaining why we fall victim. In our business I think it’s a combination of a desire to be liked; everyone like to be told they are talented, valuable, or what have you. And once sucked in, pride; being too proud to admit we were taken.

The Origins of Project Honor Camo
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012Last week we showed you the new Project Honor Camouflage pattern from LBX Tactical. Taking its name from Project Honor, an awareness and charity program associated with the upcoming Electronic Arts video game title ‘Medal of Honor Warfighter’ you can now see how it was created.
Working with Element Group, they adapted the TF Lion insignia to produce the pattern and went to Duro Textiles for printing. Look for pre-orders later this week of a variety of products in this unique camo pattern.

DRIFIRE Fortrex Burn Test
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012We saw this video at last week’s Warrior Expo East and we’re glad we can share it with you. It’s good to be able to show you what a burn test looks like. Fortrex is a performance FR material from DRIFIRE that also provides moisture management and antibacterial properties.
