To give back to the Recon community in an homage to Magpul’s history, we designed the AKA KOA line of apparel. AKA KOA is the nickname given to Alpha Company 3rd Recon Bn (USMC Hawaii) by its Commanding Officer, Kent Bradford, in the late 1980s. Loosely translated, it means “Shadow Warrior” in Hawaiian. While it was intended to symbolize the military capability of the unit, it fast became the call sign for Alpha Company’s other skill set, making the most of the Hawaiian island lifestyle during the off hours.

Finally, updated UDT shorts. I have commented on SSD repeatedly that UDT shorts were a piece of kit that needed updating for years. I don’t know how well they will sell, but they should be very popular and the update was greatly needed. Thank you MAGPUL and thank you SSD for making us aware of this new product.
As long as my nuts don’t hang out of these, I’m getting a pair.
MY nuts never even ever hung out of the issue kind…(Sad trombone sound)
I hope the MDS Shorts fabric is as abrasive as the original UDTs…
Balls of Steel. But for real, you’ve got to wash them.
Lots. Of course, their use in and around copious amounts of sand doesn’t help the situation…
Exactly, well done Magpul on the updated UDTs.
UDT shorts and Hawaiian shirts? Sure is Magnum around here…
Not that I’m complaining.
Oh goddamn. A magpul aloha shirt. Piss off Reyns Spooner.
A little Magnum, PI action going. Love it. Now if you can pay homage to the 29 Palms Regimental Recon with some sleeveless flannels and wife beaters
Holy sheet!!! I completely forgot about the stuff that those guys at 7th Marines RRP used to wear. Thanks for the reminder and the chuckle!
FINALLY, I can wear something slightly more socially acceptable other than my ranger panties around town on those especially hot days.
Ok, where does the AR go once the waves are found? Bury in the sand or strapped to your back while riding waves?
Hell Yeah! You’ve never been skeet surfin’?
