Designed for sitting or standing, the Hunting Parka System is a camouflage snuggy. It combines a brushed tricot (for stealth) wind and waterproof outer layer with Thinsulate insulation mid-layer along with a micro fleece inner layer that incorporates SmartSilver antimicrobial.
The system can be stuffed into a bag for travel and storage and worn as a parka complete with hood, integrated facemask and sleeves. A removable long insulated tail protects the legs for periods of inactivity.

I always enjoy visiting with Håkan Spuhr. He consistently offers up now, innovative products, year after year. This SHOT Show he showed me his Ballistic Adjustment Module designed for use with rifles and machine guns.
It’s a unimount for the Aimpoint M4 and magnifier which adjusts for elevation. That’s right, the mount moves up and down with distance settings found on an ambidextrous knob at the front of the BAM. The 50/200m setting is considered zero and in addition to visible settings there is a tactile “tongue” on the knob to determine zero position.
While there are 5.56mm (50/200, 400, 600, 800m) and 7.62mm (50/200, 400, 600, 800, 1000m) settings, quantity purchasers can specify custom distance settings.
Håkan exhibited at SHOT Show with Mile High Shooting Accessories.
Blackhawk! introduced the GripBreak Leather Holster at SHOT Show 2015. The idea here is that it’s for the folks who won’t / can’t use the Serpa holster. Instead of your trigger finger to release the pistol, you use your thumb.
For some time now, Outdoor Research has been teasing me with news that they were going to bring some of their most popular clothing styles over to the military line with Coyote color. What they unveiled at SHOT Show were several models including this Foray Jacket in Coyote and Black.
Made from GORE-TEX PACLITE, a two layer laminate with a 50D poly shell. In addition to the flapped front zip it incorporates OR’s TorsoFlo hem-to-bicep zippers for venting. There are two handwarmer pockets (the left doubles as stuff sack) and a single Napoleon pocket on the chest.
OR also introduced the Drycomp Summit Sack in Coyote as well. I LOVE this bag and have been Jonesing for one in an earth tone for some time. It is made from a lightweight 70D nylon and incorporates a roll top closure as well as daisy chain and ice axe loop. At either side are mesh pockets and compression straps to help manage the load. Padded mesh shoulder straps make this a great summit pack or for use on recces.
Hk Knives are manufactured by Benchmade.
The fixed blade Feint is made from 440C stainless steel with a black santoprene handle. It features a 9.5″ blade with an overall length of 14.5″ and a thickness of 1.25″.
As I walk through the endless aisles of SHOT Show, things will grab out at me. This time it was the Shadow Poncho by Rivers West.
This seam-sealed cape design is available in the uninsulated Shadow Poncho model as well as a Sherpa fleece lined version called the Treestand Shadow. Look for interior handwarmer pockets in both and arm slits on the Shadow Poncho.
Available in Widowmaker Shadow Camo only.
Princeton Tec introduced the Helix series of lanterns. Regardless of which of the two sizes, the accordion-style globe sits atop collapsible legs.
The larger Basecamp is offered in three models; the basic variant, rechargeable or top-of-the-line Bluetooth. All three offer 250 lumens with the basic model utilizing 4 x AA batteries and the Bluetooth being rechargeable and controlled via smart phone. The Rechargeable can be powered by 3 x AA alkaline batteries or lithium rechargeable pack. The smaller Helix Backcountry is only 150 lumens from 3 x AAA alkaline batteries.
All Helix lanterns offer integrated white and red lamps.
