White Out Overwhites from Wild Things – The New Heat for the Snow

Thursday, August 27th, 2020

Travel to Vail, Colorado and you’ll find a 13’ tall ‘Ski Trooper’ monument honoring the formation of the Tenth Mountain Division. Decked out with skis and old-school Overwhites – the Ski Troopers of the Tenth, and the Finnish that inspired them, might be seen as founding fathers of Overwhites in the military.

And if the Tenth represented the introduction of Overwhites to the military, it could be said that 1969’s ‘Where Eagles Dare’ and an Overwhites clad Clint Eastwood was Hollywood’s introduction of Overwhites to the masses.

Fast-forward: times have changed, and so have White Out Overwhites®. Still a favorite with select military units, as well as Hollywood, Overwhites provide concealment when the snow flies – deployed, or on the screen.

When there’s a need for Overwhites today, military units, the brands and community that support them, as well as Hollywood, all call Wild Things:

Varusteleka – Särmä Yellow Merino Hoodie

Wednesday, August 26th, 2020

Varusteleka’s Särmä merino wool hoodie is now available in Yellow.

Made from Merino wool, the Särmä Hoodie features:

Two handwarmer pockets (volume about one wine bottle each) and a kangaroo pocket on the back, which can be accessed from either side, good place for storing gloves, hats, and other accessories. On the left sleeve, you’ll find a zippered pocket, roomy enough for any smartphone (iPhone 6 Plus, Oneplus One or Samsung Note 2/3/4 etc.). Velcro on the sleeve pocket.

Slim fit, with long hem. Quality zipper on the front, with a flap on the backside to prevent it from making contact with the skin if you’re not wearing anything under this. The collar is so high when zipped up that you really don’t need a scarf of neck tube or whatever. The hood has drawcord tightening and is suitably roomy, but not overly so – it works as an underlayer when worn with a helmet during cold weather. Thumbholes on the sleeve cuff.

New, three-piece hood.

Offered in a variety of colors.

Get yours at www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-merino-wool-hoodie/30651.

There is also a ladies version.

ADS Federal Range Day 2020

Tuesday, August 25th, 2020

ADS Inc held their annual Federal Range Day last Friday at the Crucible near Fredericksburg, Virginia.

There were almost 100 vendors on site and attendees came from various local, state local, and federal agencies along with military representatives. While the crowd was smaller than in years past, ADS did a great job of managing social distance, decon and wearing go masks to protect the health of those on site.

Masks were available for those who showed up without them and was were lots of hand sanitizer and decon wipes.

For many, it was their first time in an industry setting since COVID-19 forced nationwide closures. Hopefully, it’s the first of many gatherings as we open back up.

Garmin Montana 700i

Monday, August 24th, 2020

The new Garmin Montana 700i is a Touchscreen Navigator with inReach Technology which offers worldwide SOS and messaging as well as weather reports. The device also incorprates an optional 8 MP camera. Position data is via both GPS and Galileo satellite networks.

To facilitate two-way satellite messaging via inReach, the Montana utilizes a full QWERTY keyboard. Maps and imagery are easy to discern thanks to the 5″ color screen which is 50% larger than the previous model.

Like other Garmin devices, the Montana has full ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and 3-axis electronic compass.

An internal, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack provides more than 18 hours of battery life in GPS mode, but to keep you going for a week or more between recharges, use Expedition mode, an ultralow-power GPS reference.

As always, SSD readers are highly encouraged to purchase Garmin devices from Strohman Enterprise.

Improved TNVC/Steiner TOR-MINI IR VPC (v)2 IN-STOCK!

Monday, August 24th, 2020

tnvc.com/shop/steiner-tnvc-tor-mini-ir-vpc-variable-power-control

Redlands, CA

Introduced at SHOT Show 2020, the TNVC/Steiner TOR-MINI IR Variable Power Control IR aiming laser has quickly become one of our most popular products and they have been flying off the shelves! We’re happy to announce the release of a new (v)2 variant, NOW BACK IN-STOCK!

While the original TOR-MINI IR crossbolts were provided a secure user configurable mounting system, they were a little bit more difficult to install properly. The newest TOR-MINI IR VPC (v)2s feature an more user-friendly, improved rail mounting system. Instead of the two crossbolts on the original TOR-MINI IR, these units feature a more robust rail clamp and mounting system, including a user-configurable recoil lug that can be positioned in one of six (6) different positions, allowing the TOR-MINI IR to fit almost any rail interface as well as allowing the user to fine-tune it’s positioning on the rail.

Moreover, the rail clamp itself has been enlarged and simplified, making it easier to install, and two slotted screws replace the long Allen screws in the initial versions.

With an MSRP of $269 and weighing less than 2 ounces, the TOR-MINI IR was designed to offer a miniaturized, budget friendly Class I IR aiming laser to the market, and is equally at home on pistols, long guns, SMGs and PDWs, and even on thermal devices and spotting scopes! The TOR-MINI IR Variable Power Control features a “step down” feature that allows the user to easily select between 0.7, 0.4, and 0.2 mW outputs by holding down the activation paddle attenuating the aiming dot size and bloom based on range, target size, and ambient lighting conditions.

These new improved TOR-MINI IR (v)2 are now in full production and in-stock and ready to ship today. Dealer inquires are also welcome!
