Prometheus Design Werx – AR Hoodie DRB Staff Edition

Tuesday, April 4th, 2017

Updated American Classic Zip Hoodie with Technical & Performance Details, Built in the USA

This spring, PDW introduces their DRB Staff Edition AR Hoodie. Based on and inspired by the classic, American, full zip, athletic hoodie, their version has been updated with technical and performance Polartec WindPro 9504 polyester fleece w/DWR. The fit is a modern silhouette, streamlined, with engineered patterning for unrestricted movement. The classic styling behind this hoodie is good to wear pretty much anywhere and is “A.lways R.eady”. Small details such as loop swatches on the sleeves, built in dummy cord keepers, thumbhole cuffs, full wind flap, 2-way main zipper, and their signature MLH (Major League Hood) design, rounds of this hoodie. From basecamp, to the gym, after a session in the NorCal Pacific, or street the AR Hoodie has got you covered.

The AR Hoodie DRB Staff Edition is a part of their Built in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx. Available in S.L. Black.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“Many of us often live in the classic American style full zip athletic hoodie for everyday wear. We wear versions of this hoodie in our workshop and the office almost everyday. While from a distance this hoodie looks like your classic full zip hoodie, it’s the engineered pattern making for unrestricted movement, high performance-technical Polartec WindPro fleece, and the numerous functional designs details which makes our take of the classically styled hoodie stand out for the user. The DRB Staff Edition features loop swatches on each sleeve for morale patches and handy for us a trade shows or events. The AR Hoodie is exceptionally comfortable and dare we say even cozy, by virtue of the wetsuit style flatlock seams which are smooth and flat, and the best in class Polartec fleece material. When creating this style, we wanted an everyday wear mid-layer which could be easily worn around town, before and after a workout, emerging after a chilly session in our NorCal Pacific waters, and still hold it’s own at a wilderness basecamp to inside Outpost 31. The modern tailored cut of this hoodie mirrors the most popular heavy weight cotton styles out there these days, is perfect over a tee shirt or long sleeve base-layer, and the streamlined silhouette fits perfectly under our Solo Jacket and most technical style shells. We also proud to say that we build these locally in San Francisco. This is going to be a full zip hoodie you’re going to live in.”

The AR Hoodie DRB Staff Edition will be available for purchase for $149.00 on Wednesday, APR 5, 2017 at 1:00pm PDT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

I Kilt You Not: 5.11’s Popular Tactical Kilt is Back

Monday, April 3rd, 2017

With the wrong clothes, a day at the range can be a real pain in the butt (pun intended). And if you’ve ever worn jeans while practicing, you know that mobility and flexibility goes out the door. Fear not! 5.11 has created the perfect piece of apparel to take your training to the next level—the Tactical Duty Kilt. Back by popular demand, 5.11 has reintroduced its rugged, manly, limited edition Tactical Duty Kilt.

Designed to meet the demanding needs of fitness, shooting, and outdoor enthusiasts across the nation, 5.11 also released a new video to reveal to you the ins and outs of the popular kilt.

Featuring CrossFit Athlete, Josh Bridges, this funny (really, it’s funny) video shows Josh (along with a few other manly men) put the 5.11 kilt to the test. And no, this is not an April Fools’ joke. The once fictitious Kilt (oddly enough, it started as an April Fools’ joke in 2012) is again available for purchase in the U.S. while supplies last.

A portion of the proceeds of every
kilt sold will benefit the FBINAA.

Schiebel’s CAMCOPTER S-100 Heading Towards Manned-Unmanned Teaming Ops

Monday, April 3rd, 2017

Vienna, 30 March 2017 – Schiebel and Patria have been working together to integrate Patria’s sophisticated Compact Airborne Networking Data Link (CANDL) communication network onto the CAMCOPTER® S-100 Unmanned Air System (UAS).
The two European companies’ joint effort is the first step of an ongoing program of work examining how the CAMCOPTER® S-100 can be deployed to directly support manned helicopter operations.

Patria’s CANDL provides a solid backbone to explore the benefits of Manned-UnManned Teaming (MUM-T) operations, where the combined strengths of each air asset can be optimized to increase overall situational awareness and enhance decision making.

As Schiebel’s Chief Technical Officer Chris Day points out, “using the unmanned element of a MUM-T operation to provide both the forward and higher altitude view will help to keep pilots and the manned assets safe as well as improve overall mission effectiveness.”

Newington, NH (April 3, 2017) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to expand its SIG HT hunting line of premium-grade rifle ammunition with the addition of 308 Win.

“SIG HT ammunition is extremely effective in the field, and our initial SIG HT offering in supersonic 300BLK has been in high demand because of its outstanding performance,” said Dan Powers, President of the SIG SAUER Ammunition Division. “Retailers and their customers are asking for additional calibers in this lead-free, all-copper hunting round, and we will continue to expand the line to meet even more hunters’ needs.”

SIG HT cartridges are made with premium nickel-plated shell cases, and flash-reduced propellant is used to minimize visible signature while shooting in low-light situations. Premium quality primers are also used to minimize variations in velocity.
