New Defiant Hoodie Soft-shell from PDW

Monday, November 16th, 2020

Fully Seam Taped, 4-Way Stretch Schoeller, All-Weather Soft-Shell Jacket

Prometheus Design Werx introduces their fully seam taped, technical, soft-shell hoodie made with All-Weather, 4-way stretch Swiss Schoeller fabric. Streamlined, uncluttered, purpose driven design, feature rich, and easily transitions from the wilderness to street in all 4 seasons. The Defiant Hoodie also features the innovative, embedded component management system by Cohaesive™ of North America, and YKK AquaGuard® zippers.

The purpose driven design is born from almost 2 decades of R&D experience in this class of outerwear, taking the input of real-world user feedback across all 7 continents from the Hindu Kush to Torres del Paine, and the sum of design experience from our chief designer. From everyday wear to remote destinations and even dangerous places, the Defiant Hoodie is an uncompromising technical soft-shell that literally has you covered.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“It took over 4 years and as many technical manufacturing centers to get our Defiant jacket where we needed it to be and bring it to market. Our CEO and Chief Designer Patrick is credited in a number of industry journals with introducing this category of technical soft-shell outerwear to the market as we know it. So, he’s definitely got some time behind this wheel and has been working on this type of outerwear for nearly 20 years. We went straight to the top tier of textiles and components and spec’ed it to be fully seamed taped for total weatherproofness. Components needed to be laser set and cut for maximum precision and consistency in fit per size. The styling is a consequence of the product’s purpose and function. Our first piece in technical outerwear uses best in class materials, advanced fabrication techniques, good for year ‘round wear and can transition from field to street without skipping a beat. The Defiant Hoodie is going to have your back up the mountain, down range, in the middle of the wilderness, behind the wheel and on the street. Keep moving forward in any weather, find a way, or make one.”

The Defiant Hoodie Soft-Shell is a part of the PRO-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx. Available in Rogue Green, Syth Black, and Universal Field Gray.

The Defiant Hoodie Soft-Shell will be available for $395.00 on Wednesday, November 18th, 2020 at 12:00pm Pacific via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

Propper Hosts Free Defensive Training Session for Local Law Enforcement

Monday, November 16th, 2020

St. Charles, MO — Missouri-based Propper International recently hosted a full-day training event at the Granite City Police Department’s private gun range on October 29th. Members from police departments across the Greater St. Louis area attended with military police and other federal agencies represented as well.

Throughout the day, they received instruction from renowned tactical trainer Rick Hogg. Hogg is a 29-year US Army Special Operation Combat Veteran with 13 combat deployments between Iraq and Afghanistan. Since returning from overseas, Hogg provides comprehensive firearms training to military and law enforcement through his proven training methodology service company War HOGG Tactical, Inc.

“What I’ve noticed working with several departments across the country is that the onus for sharpening defensive skills lies with the officers themselves,” said Hogg. “I applaud Propper for showing the initiative to give these guys an opportunity to develop their abilities in a group setting and push each other to be better.”

During the morning session, the focus was on increasing efficiency when drawing from a holster and changing magazines, both with dry fire and live rounds. The afternoon session included exercises intended to simulate shooting under duress and also covered first responder medical skills such as how to stop a bleeding wound and apply a tourniquet. Each officer was provided with Propper gear to wear during the training and got to take home a Propper Bail Out Bag after the session concluded.

“Organizing this training exercise seemed like the bare minimum we could do to express our appreciation to these brave individuals who’ve put their lives on the line to keep our community safe,” said Craig Madden, Senior VP of Marketing & eCommerce for Propper.

Introducing the WNDSN Telemeter Dog Tag in Brass

Monday, November 16th, 2020

BERLIN, 2020-11-12 – Your tools should last longer than you do.

Brass, used since prehistory, is the ever-classic. Its malleability, durability, antimicrobial properties, and sheer cosmetic appeal makes Brass stand out among flashier, more modern materials and WNDSN reaches for it again and again when creating new products, this time bringing it to their signature Dog Tag Telemeter Pendant.

The core tenant at WNDSN is “The best tool is the one you have with you, on you.” and they mean it literally when it comes to the dog tag. The Brass Dog Tag Telemeter Pendant is the newest product in their line of distance measuring and range finding instruments. The Brass Dog Tag retains the classic military format, sized according to specifications and matching current U.S. Dog Tags. A heavier material, the Brass Dog Tag weighs in at 1oz (33 g). Now available in Brass, this Telemeter will become an heirloom item for the next generations of explorers.

The WNDSN Brass Dog Tag Telemeter pendant fixates the distance to the measuring scale by way of creating a necklace that is holding the scales at a set distance from the eye, thus enabling accurate measurements. The simple instructions are, as always:

Find an object of known size at the distance you need to measure and determine the angular size which you can subsequently convert to distance.

The new WNDSN Brass Dog Tag Telemeter pendant features two sets of scales; on the left-hand side, a standard angular size scale with a maximum of 10° graded in 0.2° increments, and on the right-hand side, a special multiplication scale that allows the user — knowing the dimension of the object to be measured — to directly multiply the value for the distance.

Further design elements and features are:

1 Both sets of scales have extra-long marks, extended from the edges to be visible with dog tag silencers installed.

2 The dog tag itself features instructional icons to create a self-contained tool.

3 The backside is intentionally left blank to either sandwich the Telemeter dog tag to the back of regular dog tags, or alternatively for the end user to add additional information, velcro, or marker tabs.

The WNDSN family of Telemeters are wallet-size distance and altitude nomographs developed in the WNDSN applied science lab. They combine a thousand years of civil engineering, surveying, navigation, and astronomy in durable, low-tech, high utility instruments that can be brought anywhere, are self-containing, and independent of external, modern technologies.

Under certain conditions or in cases where laser rangefinders tend to fail or result in errors, WNDSN Telemeters prevail and can be used as primary or “second opinion” tools, to cross-check values obtained with different means, or in austere situations when other methods fail or are unavailable.

The WNDSN Brass Dog Tag Telemeter is made in Germany, its scales are laser-engraved and precision-cut into 3 mm raw, unpolished brass. The device carries the WNDSN maker’s marks; scientific instructions are engraved and supplemented by a printed how-to in both English and German. An abridged manual is included as a PDF and a 400-page printed comprehensive manual is available separately at WNDSN or via bookstores.

Available at store.wndsn.com/products/wndsn-telemeter-dogtag-10×6-brass.

When I saw TD’s Todd Askins wearing this jacket during a recent hunting trip I was immediately transfixed because it was both Tigerstripe AND fuzzy. It’s starting to cool off here in the Tidewater of Virginia and I do love a fuzzy jacket on a brisk morning.

Turns out, it’s Tactical Distributor’s new Fozzy Hoodie and it’s available for pre-order.

Made from tigerstriped high loft poly fleece, it features a 1/4 zip for ventilation, a zip closure pass though front pocket to store your gloves, and thumb holes for easy layering.
