Let’s face it, the Lightweight Operator Packs from Grey Ghost Gear look great. My kids wore them to last week’s Warrior Expo Week and they spent most of their visit explaining where they got them. Somehow that turned into a rumor that someone was giving them away. Well now they are.
Grey Ghost Gear has had a lot of success with their PenCott pattern packs but they want to know if they should keep making them, or if they should try out a different camouflage, or better yet, both. Grey Ghost wants to know what you think, but they want to hear your opinion on their Facebook page. They value your opinion so much that they are willing to give away a pack a day for three days running. This means that today, they will give away a Badlands, tomorrow a Sandstorm and on Wednesday a Greenzone pack.
To enter, visit www.facebook.com/pages/Grey-Ghost-Gear and Like them. And then tell them that Soldier Systems Daily sent you and which camo patterns they should make packs in.
They will randomly draw a winner from those posts each evening. You don’t have to reenter each day, once is enough, but you can only win once. Void where prohibited.
How do you guys feel about this trend of including branding in camouflage patterns? Two immediate military examples come to mind; the EGA (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) in MARPAT and the ACE (Anchor, Constitution, and Eagle) in the Navy’s NWU (Navy Working Uniform) patterns.
On the commercial side we’ve seen Kryptek embed their helmet logo and the Honor Camo for the upcoming video game title Medal of Honor Warfighter includes a couple of brand embellishments as well.
So, what do you think? Good idea or bad?
I found this video interesting. Perhaps readers can throw their two cents in as well.
Checking out the Invictus blog this weekend, we noticed that their latest entry is a photo essay on the TYR Tactical products they have been using.
