Coming soon from LBX, these new Pouch Loadout Inserts were developed for the for the Arc’teryx LEAF Khard series of packs. In case you missed their debut at SHOT Show, you can review here.
At last count there were 37 individual inserts with more on the way.
The MultiCam Pattern website shared this cool photo of Red Bull Air Force skydiver, Jeff Provenzano‘s new MultiCam wingsuit. It’s an Apache Rebel made by Tony Suits and is crafted from Duro Textiles’ MultiCam Theta fabric. He’s already jumped from 13,500 feet and flew for 3mins and 20secs in this suit.
I spy with my little eye something that starts with the letter “P” in this video from Emirates Defense Technology Soldier Equipment.
Congrats Hyde Definition for having your Pencott Sandstorm pattern featured at the upcoming IDEX.
Commenting on SSD articles is a privilege and not a right. I know some folks just can’t control themselves and have a little voice in their head that tells them to create an anonymous log in and say crazy stuff. However, most of us are sane adults. I’d like to keep it that way. As of late posting has once again gotten way out of hand. My rule of thumb is to not say anything in the comments section of SSD that you wouldn’t be willing to say in person. And, I’m seeing comments made and when the poster is questioned they don’t come back and justify their position. We welcome spirited debate, so long as it’s backed up by reason. This isn’t a forum for drivebys.
Self police or we will end up revamping the comments section which means requiring everyone to register and use valid email addresses.
Last year we showed you a glimpse of a developmental Dutch camouflage pattern called Netherlands, Fractal Pattern Green (NFP Green). A photo recently turned up of members of the 104 Commandotroepencompagnie on a training trip to Israel wearing the pattern. However, as some of the unit members were also wearing the Dutch version of 3-Color Desert as well as MultiCam, it would seem that NFP still isn’t a dine deal.

Several times in the past, Vans has released short runs of MultiCam models but they’ve been bought up by shoe collectors as soon as they were offered.
In the Crye Precision booth at SHOT Show, they displayed several models of LXVI Vans in MultiCam or solid earth tones with MultiCam accents. According to Crye Precision’s MultiCam brand manager Ernesto Rodriguez, these will be available in greater numbers that previous offerings.
As you can see, the LXVI line is a bit different than the traditional Vans you are used to. The styling is a little more modern and they incorporate fused upper panels. They also incorporate a higher heel height and increased heel cushioning like running shoes. This puts more of your weight on the balls of your feet.
Vans is releasing MultiCam versions of the Graph, Secant, Numeral, Variable and Stat.
While anti-gun legislation doesn’t seem to be gathering much steam on the national stage, it’s already taking hold like a cancer at the state level. This time it’s Colorado and our friends Magpul Industries have put out a call to those who support the Second Amendment to help in the legislative struggle for that state.
They issued the following statement:
In addition to the national battle to protect our firearms rights, many states are currently engaged in their own fights. Here in CO, a state with a strong heritage of firearm and other personal freedoms, we are facing some extreme challenges to firearms rights. We have been engaged in dialogue with legislators here presenting our arguments to stop legislation from even being introduced, but our efforts did not deter those of extreme views.
After the NRAs visit last week, several anti-freedom bills were introduced by CO legislators, and a very aggressive timeline has been set forth in moving these bills forward.
The bills include:
HB 1229, Background checks for Gun Transfers–a measure to prohibit private sales between CO residents, and instead require a full FFL transfer, including a 4473.
HB 1228, Payment for Background Checks for Gun Transfers– a measure that would require CO residents to pay for the back logged state-run CBI system (currently taking 3 times the federally mandated wait time for checks to occur) instead of using the free federal NICS checks.
And finally, HB 1224, Prohibiting Large Capacity Ammunition Magazines–a measure that bans the possession, sale, or transfer of magazines over 10 round capacity. The measures and stipulations in this bill would deprive CO residents of the value of their private property by prohibiting the sale or transfer of all magazines over 10 rounds. This bill would also prohibit manufacture of magazines greater than 10 rounds for commercial sale out of the state, and place restrictions on the manufacture of military and law enforcement magazines that would cripple production.
We’d like to ask all CO residents to please contact your state legislators and the members of the Judiciary Committee and urge them to kill these measures in committee, and to vote NO if they reach the floor.
We also ask you to show your support for the 2nd Amendment at the Capitol on Tuesday, Feb 12, for the magazine ban committee hearing and Wednesday,
Feb 13, for the hearing on the other measures.
Due to the highly restrictive language in HB 1224, if passed, and we remained here, this measure would require us to cease PMAG production on July 1, 2013.
In short, Magpul would be unable to remain in business as a CO company, and the over 200 jobs for direct employees and nearly 700 jobs at our subcontractors and suppliers would pick up and leave CO. Due to the structure of our operations, this would be entirely possible, hopefully without significant disruption to production.
The legislators drafting these measures do so in spite of the fact that nothing they are proposing will do anything to even marginally improve public safety in CO, and in fact, will leave law-abiding CO residents less able to defend themselves, strip away rights and property from residents who have done nothing wrong, and send nearly 1000 jobs and millions in tax revenue out of the state.
We like CO, we want to continue to operate in CO, but most of all, we want CO to remain FREE.
Please help us in this fight, and let your voices be heard!
