Varusteleka – Jämä Blanket

Friday, December 18th, 2020

The Varusteleka Jämä Blanket shirt is back. They are no longer made from surplus Finnish Army wool frieze, but they found some surplus wool.

This bushcraft shirt in offered in charcoal black and forest green. They also modified the hood so this looks a bit less like an evil cultist robe and tweaked the shape of the pocket.

More green ones are on the way, but made from a bit thicker wool. They will also be making brown, grey, and burgundy blanket shirts next year.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: Cold Climate Glove and Tactical Hand Warmer

Friday, December 18th, 2020

With Christmas right around the corner, don’t wait to order these stocking stuffers. This is not your average winter glove. The Cold Climate glove from FS is built with a keratin leather palm patch, Primaloft Gold insulation, and a waterproof breathable insert.

Incredibly warm with excellent dexterity allowing basic trigger control. Additionally, we removed the insulation from the upper half of the trigger finger to increase basic trigger manipulation and make it easier when using a touchscreen. In fact, touchscreen sensitive index fingers and adjustable wrist cuffs come standard on this premium cold climate glove from FirstSpear.

Overall the glove is incredibly light weight compared to how warm it will keep your hands. Impressive dexterity including reduced insulation in the trigger finger to increase basic fire control manipulation. Touch screen capable index fingers and adjustable cuff with a perfect amount of stretch. Available and shipping now in fatigue green and black.

Additionally, if you need another cold-weather item that’s more mission-specific, look no further than the FS Tactical Hand-Warmer. The Tactical Hand-Warmer is a perfect way to keep your fingers warm on a cold day. The fleece-lined interior is soft and retains heat exceedingly well.

The Tactical Hand-Warmer can be attached directly to your platform or worn on its own. When not needed, the included attachment strap stows inside. An attached storage bag allows the system to be packed up small and tight. The Tactical Hand-Warmer has additional pockets to hold “air activated hand warmers” or other essential items. Cuffs allow for changes in length.

Aimpoint – Occluded Aiming

Thursday, December 17th, 2020

Did you know you can shoot with the lens caps closed on an Aimpoint sight? It’s called occluded aiming.

In fact, the earliest dot sights didn’t have front lenses. The Singlepoint Occluded Eye Gunsight used by US Special Forces on the Son Tay Raid 50 years ago uses this same concept.

By looking at the target with both eyes open and one looking into the Singlepoint, a 16 MOA dot is superimposed on the target.

Unpowered, a cover at the objective end of the optic protects the fiber optics filament that gathers light to form the dot.
