Warrior Expo – Knight’s Armament

Friday, July 12th, 2013

The Knight’s 45° Off-Set Rail Mounted Micro Folding Rear and Front Sights have been around for awhile and are a great option for those of you looking for and adjustable Off-Set Backup Sight.

Basically, they’ve taken their popular back up sights and integrated a Mil-Std 1913 45° Off-Set mount. They feature tool less adjustment and the rear sight offers a dual aperture. Adjustable from 200-600m, you can move the rear sight further forward on the rail to adjust eye relief.

Warrior Expo – New Balance

Each year, New Balance offers a special color run of select shoes from their Minimus line to AAFES. This year, they will be the MX20 and 1010v2. Both will hit Exchanges in October.

I’m pretty excited about this new MX20 mid-trainer. It offers all of the advantages of a minimal training shoe with the mid height. It kind of reminds me of a wrestling shoe. Look for these 1/1/14.

Warrior Expo – Thermarest

Friday, July 12th, 2013

Although the NeoAir has been around for about a year-and-half, I don’t think enough of you know about The newer XTherm. Offering a R value of 5.7 it is the equivalent of stacking a Z-Lite and two standard military inflatable sleeping pads. All that at only 15 oz (430 g). Also, note it is available in four different lengths.

One important thing to note on the NeoAir is that it should be placed inside a sleeping bag. This not only increases comfort and insulation but also durability. Since it relies completely on air and a reflective material for insulation, it deflates much more quickly than foam lined pads and can be left inside your bag or bivy and stuffed for transport. The NeoAir does require a little more care than the standard pad but the advantages far outweigh the requirement to look after your kit.

Here you can see it paired with the UltraLite Cot which weighs just under 3 lbs.
