The new site design over at U.S. Elite is definitely worth a look. The revamp features fast and practical navigation, a clean layout and – best of all – the absolute best selection of gear. They’ve made it even easier to outfit yourself for every mission.
Head over to US-EliteGear.com to check out the new digs!
This week, we’ll take a look at one of the first clothing items introduced by FirstSpear, the Other Guy Jacket.
The Other Guy Softshell is now available on the Non-Stocking Non-Standard section. It features two zipped chest pockets, a zippered poacher pocket at the rear with zippered openings on either side and zippered upper arm pockets with Velcro fields. This Coyote color is all that is available.
There is limited sizing and an even fewer number of FR versions of this jacket on the FirstSpear site for sale. These are the original production versions, and once they are gone, they are gone. However, FirstSpear has an updated version of the Other Guy in development right now, so it will return!
We got a fat discount right here for that fat tax refund from Uncle Sam. Treat yourself to some tactical love today, because the only thing you can count on is Death, Taxes & SKD’s Ninjafied Shipping.

That’s a painfully slow drive to the aircraft. Not sure which base this is but during the same timeframe the British V Force crews would move to dispersal airfields during periods of alert and sleep in caravans within running distance of the bombers.
Thanks Casket!
Spring means that plants are coming back and an increased chance of contact with poison ivy.
We first mentioned Zanfel Poison Ivy Wash from Zanfel Labs during Modern Day Marine 2011 when we found out that it is designed to allow an affected person to literally wash away urushiol oil which is the toxin contained in certain plants. This toxin irritates 85% of the population. The Zanfel wash can be used at anytime after contact and on any part of the body, including the face and genitals. This stuff really works. We’ve used it several times over the past few years and it offers relief within hours. Additionally, it can be used to wash clothing and bedding to help mitigate the effects of the rash.
Zanfel Labs is offering this graphic to help instruct people how to identify the plants that secrete urushoil thereby preventing irritations before they happen. We asked if we could share it and they agreed. Also, don’t forget, poison ivy oils can stay viable for up to 5 years. Clothing, gear and footwear, in particular laces retain these oils. According to Zanfel Lans, the best cure for this issue is to wash these items with simple dishwashing liquid.
Zanfel’s Skin Wash Poison Ivy Treatment 10 oz Tube has NSN 6501-01-611-2071.
Zanfel also offers a map. Hard copies of the poster above can be requested by contacting them.
