Patagonia is on hand at the Elite Defense booth and the Europeans are eating it up! They are especially interested in the Jungle Uniform which I wasn’t sure would actually be released for sale due to US military demand.
Already available for Pre-order through Elite Defense, the graphic above shows you what is being offered. If you are looking for details on any of the items, visit the SSD archives at www.soldiersystems.net/tag/Patagonia.
We have a long history of using Powertraveller products and find them both easy to use and reliable. The waterproof, solar power Powermonkey Extreme is receiving a paint job. Coming in November, it will be offered in The current Black as well as a Coyote color. Additionally, Powertraveller is bundling the Powermonkey Extreme with a Helium Whisper utility pouch from Blue Force Gear. Pouches are offered in Black, Coyote and MultiCam.
The heart of the Powermonkey Extreme is essentially a battery or mobile power source. In addition to the solar panel the device can also be charged via 12v or shore power. It provides 9000mAh and you can expect it to retain 75% of the stored power over a year of unused storage.
Almost in stealth mode, we ran across this excellent bush hat from Platatac while visiting the Edgar Brothers booth. Dubbed the Grouse Bush Hat – Recon (Grouse is Australian for awesome) it’s part of a complete ensemble that includes a short and trousers.
And while it’s packed full of features like diagonal vents with mesh backing, a short brim and rear adjustment, that’s not the real story. This hat is 100% cotton ripstop in MultiCam. Platatac worked with Duro to produce this fabric based on the material used in the old jungle fatigues. That means cottony comfort gents.
That’s a good looking hat.
762PR is giving away a Heckler & Koch prize pack to two lucky fans of their Facebook page. The pack contains an H&K cap and key lanyard, donated by Cenrex, the Polish distributor of H&K.

If you weren’t at DSEi today you missed the opportunity to have the lovely models Holly Peers and India Reynolds sign your 2014 Hot Shots Calendar. Don’t fret, the models will be back tomorrow in the Edgar Brothers booth #S4 280, in the UK pavilion.
