Talos LT Halfshell from Arc’teryx LEAF

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

The Arc’teryx LEAF Talos LT Halfshell is a combat shirt unlike any other on the market. I bought one when they first hit the market a couple months back and I’ve worn it on the range as well as for chores during cooler weather. It is very comfortable and I would consider a standard, true to size cut so it’s not overly tight or baggy either. It is also long enough that it will stay tucked in.

The Talos LT Halfshell is made from a no melt, no drip NYCO 50/50 Cordura yoke/shoulder and 60/40 knit body with articulated elbows, shoulders, and gusseted armpit for full freedom of motion. There are zippered, inset pockets in either upper arm with pile patches. The cuffs feature slotted buttons but the most striking feature is the Rugby-style collar with flat front opening.

Offered in Crocodile, Urban Wolf Grey and MultiCam sizes Small – XXLarge.

Combat Flip Flops Available in UK Thru Edgar Brothers

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

EB - CFF

Edgar Brothers has introduced Combat Flip Flops for those of you in the UK looking to get your hands, or should I say “feet”, on them. The story of how CFF came to be is just as cool as the look.

Started by two Army Rangers and a Bass player from Montana, Combat Flip Flops was born on a trip to Afghanistan in 2010. While working with Remote Medical International, Matthew Griffin, ‘Griff’, toured an Afghan-owned boot manufacturing plant where he saw a factory worker wearing a makeshift pair of flip flops using the sole of a combat boot – the idea was born.

The Innovative Tactical Training Solutions HH-60 CASEVAC Training Simulator is an accurate representation of an H-60 cabin that offers accurate crew positions including realistic crew securing landmarks, allowing securing of patients as well as aircraft lighting (white, green/ blue).

It provides the capability to train appropriate personnel on the proper methods of administering medical aid to occupants from the interior of a structure within the parameters of a training exercise in multiple conditions and can even be set up to simulate an H-60 crash.

The remote PC controlled unit, with a custom designed interface allows for an increase/decrease in the level of stress on the trainee via the control of environmental factors, including light, noise, wind (fans), water, smoke (foggers), and other specialized components. Factors can also be controlled manually via the Sensory Control Unit (SCU) which comes with the simulator and is seen above.

The HH-60 CASEVAC Training Simulator is available for unit and agency purchase through ADS Inc.

Magpul Introduces Limited Edition ‘Colorado’ PMAGs

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

With the upcoming ban on standard-capacity magazines in Magpul’s home state of Colorado and the seemingly never-ending assault on freedoms nationwide, they are releasing a short-run quantity of limited edition PMAGs. Proceeds from the sales of these PMAGs will go towards the legal battle against recent unconstitutional firearms legislation in Colorado and other firearms rights efforts nationwide in which Magpul is involved.

Identical in function to the GEN M2 MOE PMAG, these magazines feature the Magpul 10th Anniversary Logo on one side and either “Free Colorado” or “Boulder Airlift” on the other.

Now available direct from their online store while supplies last. Only available in packs of 5. See store pages for more details.

2014 Hot Shots Model Countdown – Kelly Hall

Monday, June 3rd, 2013

We’ve been waiting to hear this name and are very happy to report that model Kelly Hall will be featured on the 2014 Hot Shots Calendar. 50% of proceeds from the sales of these calendars support various UK and US military charities including Help for Heroes and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. In addition, Hot Shots offers other morale items like T-shirts, playing cards, and badges. The models also donate their time by regularly visiting the troops. It’s a great cause and worthy of your support.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Hall during last year’s photo shoot and again at the 2013 calendar launch party. She is a very personable young lady and quite keen on her work in support of Help for Heroes. Although you wouldn’t know it unless you met her, her personality is her greatest feature. I hate to play favorites, but of all of the Hot Shots models I have met, Kelly Hall is my favorite.

Hit the jump to see a photo of Ms Hall.
