Wolf Wind Leatherworks has introduced a new adustable multi-tool pouch. As you can see, it’s made from leather and includes a strap and buckle to accommodate different sized tools.
Internal dimension:
Length x Width – 4 x 2 cm (1.57” x 0.78”) with an adjustable height from 8.5 cm (3.35”) minimum to 13.5 cm (5.31”) maximum
However, they’ll build you one to fit your specific tool.
Empire Wool and Canvas Company doesn’t do anything halfway and their Arctic Anorak is cut long to use as an impromptu shelter. It’s made from a tight weave of pre-shrunk 6 ounce organic Cotton Canvas to cut the wind but allow moisture to escape. It will also accept dye if you need to alter the color.
The hood is large enough to wear a helmet beneath and features a one-handed cord adjustment. The interior of the visor has a light layer of poly fleece so your breath won’t form an ice cave around your face and the hood accepts a fur ruff.
The design features modified Raglan sleeves and a long skirt protects the muscle mass in your seat and thighs. There is a zippered and bellowed chest pocket set high so you can wear an external belt. It also has a reach through port for accessing gear or water bottles from your inner layers. The cuffs seal with hook and loop tabs, and slide inside the gauntlets of handwear. Finally, there are handwear leash tie down D-rings in the sleeves.

Years ago, I had the pleasure of serving with PVT Murphy’s Law creator Mark Baker. We’re both now long retired from the military but Mark hasn’t given up on cartooning. Instead, he’s just introduced Charlie Mike Comix to Patreon and he wants to give it a go as a career.
This time, the subject is much more serious, sharing the experiences of others, in graphic form.

US Air Force Security Forces soon begin fielding the M18 variant of the Modular Handgun System, a variant of the SIG SAUER P320.
For many years, Security Forces have been using a Safariland holster with the M9 Beretta pistol. It appears that they will continue to do so once they transition to the M18.
The Safariland kit detailed in this image will be available in Coyote as well as Black to support the full Security Forces Mission. It includes mounting options as well as magazine pouches.
World-class specialist in design and production of high-specification armored vehicles and survivability systems, US-based Jankel Tactical Systems, has been awarded 3 contracts to supply their BLASTech mitigation seats to a US based MRAP provider. The contracts have a multi-million dollar combined value. This announcement coincides with the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Conference (TWVC), taking place in Monterey, California, 03-05 February 2019.
Jankel Tactical Systems is the market’s most well-established Blast Attenuating Seat leader in North America. Under these contracts, Jankel will be delivering MK 2.5 BLASTech X900194 commander seats and X900003 troop seats in support of MRAP based programs. Jankel is pleased to continue to support the survivability upgrade on these tactical wheeled vehicles that have now had Jankel’s MK 2.5 seats fitted for almost a decade. These latest orders will be delivered by the middle of the 2019 calendar year.
Jankel will be attending the TWVC in preparation for the release of its latest and most advanced MK 4.0 BLASTech blast mitigating seating line. The MK 4.0 will feature the same battle-proven mitigation technology that has made Jankel the market leader in blast mitigation seating. The new seats have been developed to be lighter in weight making them more suitable for the current evolving tactical wheeled vehicle market. Jankel also expect the new MK 4.0 seat to be more competitive in terms of price than the existing MK 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 designs, while delivering increased capability.
Cody Baker, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Jankel Tactical Systems said: “The USA continues to be a strategically important market for Jankel and we are glad to announce these new contracts with a long-standing customer, further developing an already strong supplier relationship with one of the biggest defense vehicle manufacturers in the USA.” He added: “The TWVC event will provide Jankel with an excellent opportunity to network further with other global OEMs operating in the sector as we work towards the launch of our new MK 4.0 seat.”
