Sneak Peek – Nemesis Plate Carrier from A7 Defense & Aerospace
Friday, April 9th, 2021Pre-Orders Open Today for 2021 OTTE Gear x Bawidamann Aloha Pua Shirts
Friday, April 9th, 2021Last year OTTE Gear teamed up with artist Andrew Bawidamann to introduce high quality silk Aloha shirts made in Portugal and decorated with a unique pattern inspired by Vietnam-era tigerstripe camouflage.
This year, they pay hommage to World War Two’s Pacific Theater and the herculean task of the island hopping campaign with Aloah Pua.
There will be three color options. The first two are just like the iconic reversible Marine Corps pattern from World War Two: Greenside Out or Brownside Out and are called respectively Honu Jungle and Honu Beach.
As I mentioned earlier, there will also be a third, very limited run colorway which is blue-based and honors the Navy’s contribution to the fight.
Regardless of colors, you’re going to find some great details embedded in the pattern.
Pre-orders open at 3:00 PM Eastern at bawidamann.com/apparel/aloha-shirts.
Expect delivery by Mid-May.

Comp-Tac Launches New Website with Shop By Gun Feature
Wednesday, April 7th, 2021HOUSTON, Apr. 5, 2021 – Comp-Tac® launched a new and improved website during the month of March with enhanced mobile capabilities and a new and easy to use shop by gun feature.

Users can easily choose the make of their handgun and then narrow it down to model, or even model with light attachment to see what holster options exist. Additional navigation changes allow users to narrow their search by holster material, holsters body position and even type of carry.
“With so many new gun owners looking for carry options, we knew that it was key to allow users to find their holster within just a couple of clicks,” exclaimed Bill Babboni, vice president of sales and operations. “The Shop by Gun feature as well as the upgraded navigation, dealer finder and overall revamp should help our customers be successful in all their shopping on Comp-Tac.com.”

UF PRO Introduces Tough-as-Nails Yet Ultra-Comfortable Striker X Combat Shirt to Meet Demanding Needs of Military Operatives
Wednesday, April 7th, 2021TRZIN, SLOVENIA (6 April 2021)—UF PRO today announced the addition of a lighter weight, higher strength, greater comfort, and all-around better performing combat shirt to its acclaimed Striker X range of tactical clothing. The Striker X Combat Shirt—designed expressly to meet the bruising needs of military operatives—is set to become available on 21 April.
“Our Striker X Combat Shirt is innovative on multiple levels,” Wagner asserted, noting that—for starters—the garment makes use of two novel types of fabric.
“The upper torso and sleeves employ the new NyCo Extreme material in MultiCam, while the lower torso consists of Lizard/Skin, which is an innovative, highly stretchable Lyocell-polyamide fabric overlaid with ceramic dots,” he said.
“Together, this construction results in a no-melt/no-drip garment that is extremely comfortable but incredibly rugged—able to withstand the kind of punishment that military operators routinely dish out,” Wagner added.
Other impressive properties of the Striker X Combat Shirt include:
· Enhanced breathability
· Fast drying times
· Superior resistance to abrasion from plate carriers and other toted gear
· Exceptional functionality
· Extended life
Wagner said the Striker X Combat Shirt improves on the design of the Striker XT Gen.2 by adding air-permeable padding to the area where the garment drapes over the wearer’s pelvic crest.
“This helps ensure that hips don’t become irritated from having a gear-laden belt on all day,” he explained.
Another improvement is the Striker X Combat Shirt’s three-level collar closure system. This, said Wagner, allows wearers to choose how much of their neck to expose to the open air.
“Some will want the collar fully open for maximum ventilation, others will want it fully closed for combat-readiness, and still others will want it in between to smarten their look,” Wagner offered.
He mentioned that increased ventilation is also possible by unfastening the openings located in the upper sleeves—one more improvement made to the shirt.
“These openings are strategically positioned to deliver a cooling airflow that helps keep wearers’ core temperature right where it’s supposed to be so that they can stay on top of their game rather than wilting from excess heat buildup and consequently losing their mental focus,” he said.
Wearer protection is increased as well, Wagner revealed. Specifically, the Striker X Combat Shirt at its elbows features anatomically shaped pockets designed to receive UF PRO Flex-Elbow Pads.
UF PRO said it plans to make the Striker X Combat Shirt available in four camouflage patterns/colour schemes: MultiCam; Brown Grey; Flecktarn; and Steel Grey.
The garment is expected to retail for 129€.
