Ape Defense Announces the Official Launch of Their Retail Webstore

Thursday, November 25th, 2021

November 24th, 2021: Ape Defense, a retailer of carefully curated duty grade products is proud to announce the official launch of their new retail webstore. Ape Defense is a bit different than most other retail websites as all the products featured for sale have been personally vetted by the Ape Defense staff (and partners). The Ape mantra is to make products available for the everyday man that are Caveman level approved. Points of interest for products that can make the “Ape Defense list” are Longevity, Production Quality, Fit & Finish, and Price vs. Return on Investment. This is exactly why Ape Defense has partnered with only trusted brands that can meet all these points every time. Companies like Forward Controls Design, SOLGW, Cloud Defensive, & Rosco Manufacturing are part of the Ape Defense answer to ethical retail practices for folks whom will be depending on the performance of each part purchased.

 

“I became engrossed with the idea of being a steward for consumers some years ago. I saw a great deal of online retailer’s stock items that were chosen based off the margins that they have to gain instead of the performance that it would provide to the consumer. My goal is to find great products for an honest price and offer them to my customers with them knowing that I (and our Ape team) have taken the time to vet all of the items that I stock. I am also working on creating an in-house line of products that will help solve real issues for shooters at a fair price.”

– Chris Polack (Owner/ Head Ape)

Introducing the DarkSide, the next generation of gun belt.
Bigfork, MT, November 30th 2021– Norden Outdoors

Norden Outdoors is pleased to announce the DarkSide inner/outer belt system, their solution to today’s hook and loop gun belts. Norden has taken the popular EDC belt from Boxer Outdoors called the Apogee and developed a ratcheting system that uses opposing force to attach an outer belt to the Apogee comfortably.

The attachment hardware that makes the DarkSide unique is machined from 7075 billet aluminum and was designed and manufactured in Bigfork, Montana. The two belt options are both designed and manufactured in the US. The Elite belt is a 2″ TPU coated webbing that has laser-cut MOLLE compatible attachments. The ends of the belt are made of the same material and are RF Welded to the main strap. The nylon version is constructed like the standard shooter’s belt you are used to seeing, made from two layers of 1.75″ US made nylon with bar tacked MOLLE compatible PALS. The ends are bar tacked to the webbing and are made from ULTRAcomp® laminate materials.

The DarkSide is available now at NordenOutdoors.com, with an MSRP of $160.00 for the DarkSide Nylon and $175.00 for the DarkSide Elite. The complete inner/outer belt system with Apogee belt has an MSRP $250.00.

Comp-Tac Releases Dual Concealment Holster

Wednesday, November 24th, 2021

HOUSTON, TEXAS – November 29, 2021 – Comp-Tac® is proud to announce the release of the Dual Concealment Holster, a holster that can be worn both inside the waistband (IWB) or outside the waistband (OWB).

The Dual Concealment Holster – DCH is the best solution on the market for users who need versatility in their carry methods. Offering both IWB or OWB carry options, the DCH is fast to put on or take off and adapts to each user’s needs. For users who carry inside the waistband (IWB) the DCH offers a small footprint, slim profile, optics compatible option that can be slipped into the pants at a moment’s notice. With adjustment, the clip can be configured to carry at appendix, 3:00 side carry or behind the hip. For users looking for an outside the waistband (OWB) option, the paddle attachment offers the closest, fastest, most versatile attachment. The paddle attachment rides above the belt line making this the thinnest OWB carry option in Comp-Tac’s line up. The paddle is worn inside the waistband, allowing the holster to fit at any position on the belt line and can be put on or taken off in a matter of seconds, but stays securely during the draw with the molded wings.

“Many individuals that carry concealed have a variety of holsters for different weather, clothing options, guns and carry methods. While no one holster can be the answer to every situation, the Dual Concealment Holster was designed to help those users who want to switch between inside the waistband carry and outside the waistband carry simply and easily,” explained Randi Rogers, director of brand management at Comp-Tac.

PDW Roam Jacket EC

Wednesday, November 24th, 2021

Modern Take on the Classic American Trucker Jacket in Soft-Shell Fabric

For Fall/Winter 2021 Prometheus Design Werx introduces their Roam Jacket EC. Based directly on the classic American “Trucker Jacket”, PDW updated this style of outerwear with their Expedition Cloth, a technical, performance, nylon/poly soft-shell fabric with 4-way stretch and a DWR finish. Comfortably cut to wear over a base-layer or your favorite hoodie, the ROAM Jacket EC is also fully lined in their Guide Cloth, features chest pockets specially sized for most smartphones, 2 hand pockets, 2 interior pockets, their signature hide-away pocket under the collar, snap cuffs, center placket, waist tabs, and pocket flaps. Well suited for cool to cold weather wear, when worn with layers. This is another modern classic design from PDW and is expertly sewn in California, USA.

The Roam Jacket EC is a part of Prometheus Design Werx’s CORE-Line of technical apparel. Available in All Terrain Brown, and Universal Field Gray.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“We’ve definitely have a fondness for classic American styles, but update them with more contemporary cuts, modern performance materials and considerations for EDC. This Roam Jacket made with our Expedition Cloth soft-shell fabric pushes the classic American Trucker Jacket into the 21st Century. One of the first things we updated were the flapped chest pockets, which might have been great for stashing your pack of Marlboros back in the day, but it made much more sense to be sized to fit today’s smartphones. The 4-way stretch adds much more mobility and comfort, and the DWR finish adds protection from the occasional drizzle to rain shower. We also added that extra level of tailoring by adding a full liner in our equally technical Guide Cloth. This is the only trucker style jacket made today with soft-shell and the modern touches we put into it. The Roam Jacket EC is a timeless classic updated with smart details, and technical materials for today’s wearer. Built to last and expertly stitched in California, USA.”

The Roam Jacket EC will be available for purchase for $245.00 on Wednesday, November 24th, 2021 at 12:00pm PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

Infinadeck Experience Platform

Wednesday, November 24th, 2021

I first saw Infinadeck at Warrior West over the summer where I only hit a few minutes to discuss the possibilities. Fortunately, it was also at Warrior East and I was even more impressed. Having some limited experience with Virtual Reality training systems, one of the limitations is that you eventually run out of space and into a wall or other obstacle. But Infinadeck alleviates this problem via their omnidirectional treadmill which provides an infinite walking surface. The Infinadeck Experience Platform is a 360-degree floor that allows for true and natural movement in VR without the introduction of VR motion sickness. Users can walk, jog or run as they do on solid ground for as long as they need to train.

Unlike other systems which offer “infinity” training, there are no harnesses, shoes or other contraptions with Infinadeck. Instead, an active wireless control system reacts to movements.

Multiple systems can be networked for collective training.

Units and agencies can purchase the Infinadeck Experience Platform from ADS Inc.

SSD’s Top Christmas Gift Picks from 5.11 – Day

Wednesday, November 24th, 2021

On day 2 of our week-long look at Christmas gift ideas, I’m going to recommend the Halo Neck Gaiter. Although it’s offered in a variety of patterns and colors, Night Desert Camouflage is my favorite.

A simple design, it’s comfy and can be used for a wide variety of applications aside from just a neck gaiter, in a similar fashion to a bandana.

There are loads of other gift ideas at 5.11 Tactical’s Merry Missions site.
