Lil man is creepy – imagine Chuckie with armor and NV
I gave up on finding Multicam Alpine clothing so I bought Arktis’ new super-hot Comb Blizzard pattern waterproof smock and pants.
Still, I’m glad to see it’s arriving.
Does anyone know who makes those gaiters in the BFG picture?
Wild Things Tactical has a nice set of over-whites parka, pants and ruck cover in MC-Alpine.
Those gaiters are from Kryptek when you could buy the overwhite set in “Yeti” and they were included. I have a pair that I use just to look cool to all the deer I don’t shoot after we get the first snows.
I bet those deer think you’re the tits, too.
I need a pair..
OR also makes good heavy duty gaiters, I know MC, not sure on Alpine.
we need more MC Alpine!!
I need that lil’ man patch for my little guy. And man that velocity/mayflower screams M1956 gear. Looks great
We have the Lil Man rockers on our website.
Mannequins, Braux!
We, as an industry can do better. i see these lame manikins year after year at SHOT. A realistic posed manikin can make your product appear dynamic and stand-out.

First, I agree with you. That being said, I have had VERY poor experiences with poseable mannequins for trade shows. They tend to not bear weight and hold position very well. Also, they cost 3 or more times as much as a static mannequin. With 5 of them in our booth that would have run our budget up by an extra $3k over what we spent for the mannequins we used. Finally, in my experience they are not as durable as the static mannequins when used in the trade show role (constant assembly and disassembly, shipping, etc.) and your expensive mannequin investment will be tango uniform in short order.
