Friday, January 31st, 2020

Team Wendy introduced a new version of the M-216 Ski Helmet which doesn’t have the side rails. Otherwise, everything is the same; same fit, same protection.

-A glass-reinforced polycarbonate shroud for attaching headlamps and cameras.
-A customized Boa® Fit System guarantees a precise fit adjustment with single handed quick release.
-Removable ear cups specifically designed to be comfortable while using in-ear communication systems and includes a pocket for drop-in audio device compatibility.
-14 Total Vents: Eight crown (adjustable), two front (passive open), four rear (fixed open) for maximum cooling during high exertion rescues.
-Eight adjustable crown vents with three positions (open, half open and closed) to accommodate both warm and cold conditions.
-Above-goggle vent channels draw air through the helmet to the rear exhaust ports to reduce goggle fogging.
-Integrated goggle strap retention.

ORSWM 20 – Mystery Ranch Celebrates 20 Years of Still Crazy and Going Strong

Thursday, January 30th, 2020

This is a big year for Mystery Ranch and they are celebrating at the OR Snow + Winter Market. Naturally, they’ve got beer in the afternoon, but they’re also passing out printed copies of 20th anniversary monograph I wrote for them.

Below is a little taste. If you want to see the whole thing, go here.

The MYSTERY RANCH we know today is the distillation of time and space. It has taken more than 20 years of trial and error to get where it is today, and it couldn’t exist anywhere but Bozeman, Montana. But if you remove the location, the product, and even the people, you are left with a state of mind. Known lovingly as the “Ranch,” it’s developed from beyond just a brand, into a culture forged by shared experiences, bringing together individuals from all over to create something more than just great packs.

As businesses grow, things must change. It’s often hard, but necessary to maintain a functioning company. There’s a general consensus that although change happens, it’s for the best, and new processes and procedures are implemented in a way that everyone can live with.

“We are fucking freaks for Manufacturing.” -Dana Gleason

With a name inspired by a long-forgotten black and white television show, MYSTERY RANCH is nothing without its people. Ultimately, the Ranchers and their disparate backgrounds have come together to embrace the unique culture of MYSTERY RANCH, making it the worldwide success it is today.

It’s been a great 20 years. Here’s to 20 more.

Thursday, January 30th, 2020

Helikon-Tex transitioned from a strictly surplus business to making their own clothing when the demand for the M-65 Field Jacket outpaced their access to surplus versions.

At SHOT Show 20, they showed a prototype of a new version called the Covert M-65 which will hit the market this summer. Made of DuraCanvas, it features a more modern look, including shoulder caps to deal with packstrap wear, new pocket flaps, a breakaway zipper, and several new pockets including 30 round magazine pockets at the rear and internal hidden pockets.

SHOT Show 20 – FTC Magnifier Mount from Unity Tactical

Wednesday, January 29th, 2020

Unity Tactical’s FTC Magnifier Mounts are genius. The mount stores the magnifier when not needed within the footprint of the weapon, no more stuff hanging off to the side, and it doesn’t occlude the Red Dot Sight when stowed. When employed the sight’s centerline is 2.26″ above the rail.

10 Year Anniversary for MATBOCK

Wednesday, January 29th, 2020

WOW! Where has 10 years gone?!

One shared idea to fix a nuance in a day to day operation during their active duty careers led Sean Matson & Zach Steinbock to finally start MATBOCK (a title that combined their last names) on 29 January 2010. Sean and Zach were fully committed to their active duty careers as Navy SEAL Officers, but saw opportunities to build a company that could assist operators to get their ideas from “paper to production” while changing the norm of the defense and tactical sewing industry. They believed that too often, companies were just duplicating other successful products. MATBOCK wanted to instead innovate.

From their best selling product the LIFT System to one of their newest products the GraverobberTM line, many of their products indeed change the paradigms of inferior competitor products.

But, they haven’t always hit home runs. The MATBOCK Backhand GPS Carrier that was released in 2012. It was a product that they thought was innovative but did not turn out to advance the industry. Accepting responsibility respectfully, MATBOCK refunded all the orders and took the product off the market. It was a learning experience that a solidified their position to bring innovative products to the market.

You may ask yourself why MATBOCK now offers pouches and plate carriers that really do not seem to be innovative? This is where looks can be deceiving! The innovation can be found upon further inspection. Their innovative material, named Ghost, is stronger than 1000d Cordura ® and despite being waterproof, still transfers heat faster than other material commonly used for plate carriers. The thermo-dynamics coupled with the laser cut molle acts like a radiator to cool the operator quicker. Not to mention their tab system!

MATBOCK became MATBOCK Origins, their holding company, in 2016. MATBOCK Operations became their main operating company (www.matbock.com). This restructuring allowed for greater flexibility and helped them refine each company’s mission. Under MATBOCK Origins, they have started Strike Force Energy (www.strikeforceenergy.com), Aceso Plasma (www.acesoplasma.com), and Kardax Solutions.

The MATBOCK team is in great position for continued success into the next decade and beyond because they insist to continue to produce quality, innovative products and to provide impeccable customer service.
