Priority of fielding is to deployers. Consequently, the 45 men and women of Air Task Force 22, who head this month to Mazar-e-Sharif were issued first. The Dutch military has also instituted a new foot measuring device to ensure a proper fit as they issue these 2 new boots which are intended for use in Netherlands and North-Western and Central Europe. The first is a multifunctional combat boot for use in rocky and mountainous terrain and incorporates a waterproof, breathable lining for temperate to cold areas. The second boot features a moisture regulating lining intended for temperate and warm areas. Together, these two boots replace a single model that was supposed to be a jack of all trades. While no brand name or model was mentioned, it appears everybody initially will get 2 variant of Meindl boots; the Island MFS and another unnamed model for hot weather. Additionally, the boots are issued with 6 pair of socks matched to the performance of the boot.

They’ve also adopted other models, the so-called desert or jungle gevechtslaarzen, which are special issue to troops stationed or deploying to those areas.

SHOT Show – BROWE Sport Optic

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

The 4×32 BROWE SPORT Optic (BSO) is a purpose designed and built optic for AR-style rifles that is a non-powered alternative to the BROWE Combat Optic (BCO). It features a housing machined from solid Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum combined with SCHOTT Glass, and FLIR etched mirror reticle. It’s also waterproof and fog proof. The new Sport Optic also fits all the accessories offered for the 4×32 BCO.

The BSO’s most interesting feature is the battery free, Rechargeable Illumination Technology (RIT) reticle, which is environmentally friendly and non toxic. It’s kind of like using your flashlight to charge your cat eyes on your PC before a patrol. So basically, you charge it for about 15 seconds before you use it in low light. Notice it’s a SPORT optic there race fans. So no, it’s not designed for combat use. Not if you have to stop and charge it up before you use it.

This graphic will give you an idea of what the reticle looks like during day and at night while charged and glowing.

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

Late yesterday, Outdoor Retailer and the Outdoor Industry Association announced that the Winter and Summer Market tradeshows will continue in Salt Lake City through 2016. For some time now there has been conjecture that they might move to a new venue but with this announcement, that is all laid to rest, at least for the next few years.

Look for our live coverage of the OR Winter Market beginning later today.
