This week members of PEO Soldier’s Program Manager – Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment went skydiving conducted testing of some new tachnologies while jumping the Military Freefall Advanced Ram Air Parachute System (MFF ARAPS) RA-1 at Raeford DZ, near Fort Bragg, NC.
PEO Soldier’s airdrop team out of Fort Belvoir, VA worked with support from NSRDEC Engineers and NET trainers from Prince George, VA, Yuma, AZ and Fort Bragg, NC.
The RA-1 (NSN 1670-01-606-1897) has been adopted by the US Army and is currently in service. It consists of the Intruder® 360 main parachute, the Intruder® 360 reserve parachute, and the Raider 2 harness/container manufactured by Airborne Systems.
9/8/2016 — As a part of their new printed narrow fabrics line, MMI Textiles, Inc. is now offering printed loop in both MultiCam® and OCP. MMI is responding to a need within the industry for printed loop and now after approval, the product is available for sale. It is the only printed woven loop that is made to A-A-55126 available in the market, and has excellent quality and resolution.
It’s just one of the many products within their new line. After announcing a partnership with Mikan Printing in May, the company rolled out a line of printed webbing, binding tape, loop, elastic, and zipper. Most of these are currently in stock in MultiCam® pattern, with MultiCam® Alpine®, Arid, Black and Tropic patterns being developed in the coming weeks. OCP is being printed on various materials as needed and by government contract only. Samples are available from MMI by request.
These materials are 100% Berry Compliant and created with patent-pending technology that gives the usual “white-edge” much more of a concealed appearance.
This news illustrates MMI’s on-going commitment to serve the military and tactical industries. For any inquiries or interest in samples, call MMI at 440-899-8050 or email them at info@mmitextiles.com.

If you’re looking for something practical to obligate End of Year funds toward, I present the new Active Flex Jacket and Pant from Wild Things. They showed me a prototype at Warrior East and I am impressed as there isn’t anything quite like this currently on the market.
The Active Flex garments feature an athletic fit with mechanical stretch in the fabrics throughout to accommodate movement. These garments are super breatahble due to the use of a Tweave soft shell (520e) and yet also provide warmth for static operations due to the PrimaLoft Silver Active insulation which makes them suitable for use as an outer layer when active or integrated into a layering system. For example, add a wind shell and you have a strong static insulator.
Materials Common To Both Pieces:
• Tweave Durastretch Soft Shell Fabric
• 2 oz Climashield® Apex® Insulation
• Polartec® Power Shield® liner
• YKK Zippers
Benefits
• Add a wind layer to convert to static insulation and for enhanced weather protection
• Designed for high metabolic activity – superb breathability reduces sweat build-up and the need for constant donning and doffing layers
• Excellent abrasion resistance of the soft shell outer layer
• Much quieter than typical nylon or polyester shell insulation
It contains fully covered zippers, hidden cord lock adjustments to eliminate snagging, two hand warmer pockets set up high, inside chest pocket and a fully adjustable fitted hood that can be worn over a helmet.
Features:
• 4 way stretch, DWR and Near IR treated nylon soft shell fabric provides stretch and far more abrasion resistance than a traditional nylon or polyester woven shell fabric
• Lining fabric is bonded to 2 oz. Climashield Apex Insulation so insulation moves as you do.
• Power Shield liner fabric wicks and enhances breathability
• Articulated elbow for maximum movement
• Size adjustable waist and hood
• Hand warmer pockets set up high for comfort
• All zippers covered for added protection and to eliminate straight lines through your camo
• Fully adjustable helmet compatible hood
• Weight: 2.0 lbs
The pants have 2 hand pockets, articulated legs, belt loops, full waist adjustments, gusseted crotch, and zippered leg openings.
Features:
• 4 way stretch, DWR and Near IR treated nylon soft shell fabric provides stretch and far more abrasion resistance than a traditional nylon or polyester woven shell fabric
• Lining fabric is bonded 2 oz. Climashield Apex Insulation so the insulation moves as you do.
• Power Shield liner fabric wicks and enhances breathability
• Articulated knees
• Size adjustable waist
• Hand warmer pockets with zippered closures

We’ve recently seen some rough times in this country and unfortunately, members of the Law Enforcement community have given their lives in service. One of our biggest concerns here at SSD is that these men and women (and their K9 partners) have the equipment they need to protect their communities as well as themselves. Recently, Tactical Distributors approached us about doing a Thin Blue Line version of our popular Keep Calm Return Fire T-shirts to raise finds for a Law Enforcement charity. We thought it was a great idea and suggested Spirit of Blue Foundation for the great work they do identifying and fulfilling capability gaps in smaller Law Enforcement Agencies. Since 2011, this 501(c)(3) has awarded 42 grants valued at almost $200,000 in 22 states.
We only had one stipulation; our entire licensing fee had to go to Spirit of Blue. The shirts look great and we are pleased to report that TD kicked in on their end as well. $10.00 from the sale of each shirt will be donated to Spirit of Blue.
