Friday, May 3rd, 2013SERKET Teams With Sock Manufacturer Point6
Friday, May 3rd, 2013Serket has unveiled their line of Berry compliant US Merino wool socks, designed specifically for the specialized demands of the armed forces and elite law enforcement in collaboration with Point6.
“Serket set out to find the best wool sock in the outdoor industry and all roads led straight to Point6,”said Serket President, Trey Harris. “Point6 founder Peter Duke is one of the originators of the high-performance, high-quality Merino wool sock. This partnership allows Serket to bring the best the outdoor industry has to offer to the men and women of the armed forces.”
The Serket line of socks use the highest quality Merino wool fibers combined with state-of-the-art spinning and knitting techniques to create exceptionally soft Merino products. A high-tech spinning process allows for implementation of more Merino fibers per inch, creating remarkably soft wool that is never scratchy, itchy or bulky and more resistant to pilling and wear than traditional wool. I’ve been wearing the two models shown in the photos for the past few weeks and they are great. Granted, I’m quite familiar with the Point6 brand, and won’t hesitate to recommend them. My experience with Point6 is that they are heardwearing yet very comfortable.
Available in Light, Mid and Heavy Weights, the socks are offered in a variety of heights to effectively interface with a variety of boots and climates. Serket socks are made in the USA with both TAA compliant and Berry compliant Merino wool blends.
-Light, medium and heavy weights
-Mid-calf and lower calf or crew heights
-100% domestically sourced Merino wool
-Engineered with a precise anatomical fit
-Unique looped toe closure which eliminates sewn seam and irritation over toes
-Extra cushioning under foot and around leg to protect against pressure points and boot chaffing
-Ankle brace
-Ventilation panels
-Reinforcement in wear areas
-Arch support
-Deep heel pocket
-Exceptional cross stretch
-Naturally anti-microbial and odor resistant with superior moisture management capabilities
-Available colors include Coyote Brown, Desert Sand, Predator Tan and Black.
Early evaluation among users in the military and LE communities has yielded very positive reviews. A forward deployed operator with NSW Team Four remarked, “I am highly impressed with the Serket-Point6 sock. It holds up well, remains comfortable and seems to be the best balance I have seen between comfort and durability. “

Heroes Need Costumes
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013One of the best ads I’ve ever seen.
This ad was created for the comic book “The Activity” which offers, at least from the visual standpoint, some very realistic looks at the equipment used by special operators. The characters in the book wear Crye and like the ad says, “Heroes Need Costumes.” Crye Precision makes some of the best gear there is, and it’s worn by many a hero.

Magpul Manufacturing PMAGs Outside of Colorado
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013Making good on their promise to leave Colorado if the state adopted new laws restricting the rights of gun owners, Magpul posted a simple answer on their Facebook wall earlier this week to a rather rude inquiry by a “fan” who questioned their commitment to their cause.
Stating that PMAG production had already moved out of state, Magpul has yet to spill the beans on where they have moved but my money is on them federating production in several locations. While it may be more of a management challenge, in the long run it can lower risk of future gun legislation threatening the company.
In late April Magpul delayed the announcement of their move out of respect for the ongoing Boston Marathon bombing investigation.

Everyone Loves Instant Gratification – Thanks Ares Gear!
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013It’s 2013, instant gratification is way of life, and many get more than a bit miffed if they can’t have their oompah-loompah now. Ares Gear listened and they’ve reinstated their instant gratification program with belts in stock and ready to ship.
Generally, Ares Gear builds custom belts, by size, color and option. Their mainstay is the trendsetting Ranger Belt with its Cobra buckle and second layer of webbing that not only offers a design accent but has practical application as well to stabilize loads carried on the belt. Often, their custom belts take a month or more to construct due to their popularity. The instant gratification program offers pre-made belts in standard sizing that are in-stock and ready to ship.
