For years, the Terraplane (seen above) was Dana Designs’ and then Mystery Ranch’s flagship pack due to its comfort, capacity and construction.
Now MR has incorporated their OVERLOAD feature, creating the Terraframe 80. OVERLOAD offers expandability via a load sling between the pack and the frame, keeping the weight near the back.
The frame incorporates rigid, carbon fiber stays which combined with a suspension which allows torsional flex will provide ample support for loads up to 150 lbs. The Terraframe includes the patented Futura Yoke which easily macro adjusts to proper torso length and Redirect waist belt system which is adjusted via a forward pull of the straps.
Features:
-Top-loading bag has two zippers along the face for center-of-pack access to gear
-Side compression straps
-Two vertical torpedo pockets for external access
-Zippered lid compartments
-Removable lid converts into blitz backpack with harnessing (seen below)
-Speedzip compartment for easy access to sleeping bag
-Water bottle pockets keep hydration handy
-3 L (100 oz) hydration reservior pocket against frame with ports to drinking tube above shoulders
-Frame construction uses tubular webbing and horizontal cross carbon fiber stays that allow for ideal flex
-Hybrid internal / external frame (designed like an internal frame system but on the outside of the pack)
The Terraframe 80 weighs 6.1 pbs dry and has a capacity of 4870 cu-in. Manufactured from 330D Lite Plus Cordura fabric with YKK zippers, the Terraframe Design is also available in a 3-Zip variant.
Brooklyn, NY – Nov 16, 2018 – Crye Precision®, one of the leading suppliers of uniforms and personal equipment to the military, law enforcement and public safety markets, has announced their new G4 line, including the G4 Combat Uniform and Field Uniform is now available for purchase.
This next generation of Combat Apparel, from the company who brought you the original Combat Uniform, features the exclusive stretch VTX Ripstop™ fabric, and is constructed with Invista’s T420 high-tenacity nylon fiber, allowing the uniform to be light yet strong.
The integrated stretch allows for a more streamlined and slimmer cut with maximum mobility throughout the entire garment; with the stretch panels being replaced with the newer fabric throughout the entire document.
Pockets are low profile and engineered to reduce bulk while still allowing room for all essential gear. Mesh venting is incorporated for maximum air-flow and breathability.
The G4 Combat Shirt, features a set-in shoulder pocket with internal expansion and a set-in loop with a low profile pen pocket. Underarm panels are shaped for enhanced mobility, with darted sleeves for an ergonomic fit. The internal elbow pad pocket is minimal and lightweight, maintaining the streamlined fit without compromising functionality. Cuffs have VELCRO® tab closures, and the mid-height zip-collar allows for easy donning and doffing. The hem shape is longer in the back and the flatlocked seam construction at the side panels helps to minimize bulk. Enhanced fit and function are the top priorities.
The G4 Combat Pant features multiple pass-throughs to the low-profile cargo pocket to secure charges. The adjustable padded waist features a low-profile die cut VELCRO® adjust tab, and is lined with moisture wicking material. The front thigh pockets are larger (sized for a phone), mesh lined and have a secure zip closure; and a dedicated knife holder is included with a reinforced opening. Tension and height-adjusters ensure maximum comfort and fit for the new AIRFLEX® IMPACT Combat knee pads; which are compatible with all Crye’s combat pants. This new combat knee pad provides impact protection exceeding EN14404 test standards and features a re-engineered flexible cap for complete freedom of movement.
The G4 Field Uniform also features VTX Ripstop™ fabric. The integrated stretch allows for a slimmer cut while maintaining maximum mobility – even under body armor.
The G4 Field Shirt, like the Combat Shirt, was created with maximum comfort and functionality as priority. Designed as a tailored utility shirt, the chest pockets are noticeably sleek, with flaps engineered to be tucked in for ease of access, along with zippered shoulder pockets that reduce bulk while still allowing room for all essential gear.
Like the Combat Pants, G4 Field Pants pockets are carefully located and intentionally engineered to reduce excess material and weight. There’s an adjustable waistband and mesh venting throughout the pant for maximum air-flow and breathability, providing the maximum comfort even under the most stressful situations. Compatible with all AIRFLEX® Field knee pads.
The team at Crye also made a conscious effort ensure sizing was consistent across all G4 styles. And that all garments fit true to size after laundering. The G4 line has a more athletic fit than the G3 but the inherent stretch of the VTX™ Ripstop fabric enhances the wearer’s mobility and comfort.
“We at Crye support individual liberty and our inalienable rights. Our military and police safeguard those rights” stated Crye Precision® Founder, Caleb Crye. “We create products for people who operate in highly demanding environments. Our new G4 series uniforms are a direct result of listening to specific user needs and building designs around them, from the fabric to each feature and detail. We’re honored to supply those who put themselves in harm’s way to keep the rest of us safe and we’re proud to be making all of our products right here in the USA.”
The G4 Uniforms are available now through the Crye Precision® website, www.cryeprecision.com; and are available initially in MultiCam® Pattern, with other colors being launched throughout 2019. As always, contact Crye Precision® for any customizations to orders.
SCUBAPRO’s FRAMELESS is diving’s original frameless mask, and it’s still the best. Its distinctive rectangular single-lens shape is classic, providing an excellent field of view on the periphery as well as straight ahead. By eliminating the frame, you create a mask that sits closer to your eyes. This provides a broader field of view to better take in the underwater sights, plus it reduces volume which makes it easier to clear. Also, since there is no frame, the buckles attach directly to the skirt. This enables the mask to fold relatively flat for packing or for slipping into a BC cargo pocket.
The soft silicone skirt on the FRAMELESS is comfortable yet durable, and the double-edge seal feels good against the skin. The push-button buckle system is easy to use and allows for quick adjustments. Buckles attach to flexible tabs on the skirt; this optimizes strap angle when dialing in the fit. The wide headband spreads the load on the back of the head, greatly enhancing comfort.
After decades on the diving scene, the original FRAMELESS continues to be the mask of choice among professional divers throughout the world. With its excellent field of view and comfortable fit, this stellar mask is destined to maintain its dominant position on the cutting edge of diving well into the future.
The Frameless Gorilla has a slightly larger and wider lens in a matte finish. Single lens mask, featuring a unique lens and skirt assembly without a frame. The Gorilla Mask is a new SCUBAPRO classic for professionals. This single window lens design is for a superior field of vision. Mask has a tempered safety glass lens and a quality double -feathered edge silicone rubber skirt for exceptional comfort and fit. The unique assembly of the lens and skirt without a frame reduces weight, size and lowers the masks overall internal volume for a streamlined style and a snug fit.
This classic robust quality mask positions the buckles on the exterior of the mask body for convenience and comfort. The buckles system is easily adjusted with one-hand. The mask has a large easy to reach with gloved-hand, nose pocket for ear equalization. The wide split strap design provides even tension on the face for a perfect seal.
SCUBAPRO is always trying to set the bar for diving higher. The newest figures for the Frameless and Frameless Gorilla mask is the addition of the comfort strap adapter. This can be added onto any existing masks and adds several features to one of the most iconic masks ever made.
-It allows the Frameless/ Frameless Gorilla mask to be used with the SCUBAPRO comfort strap. The Comfort Strap is similar to a ski goggle strap in design, and it clips right into the mask buckle adapter and offers a wide adjustment range. It is also a lot less likely to break mid-dive as it is a nylon strap.
-The adapter also makes the mask non-magnetic for EOD use, as it removes all metal parts.
– It allows the masks to be used with the Odin helmet mask strap. The Odin system allows any mask with quick clips to be attached to any helmet that has the Ops-Core ARC rail systems. The Odin straps are perfect for any time you have to wear a helmet well diving. Like driving a DPV, Wearing Jetboots or for Search and Rescue Operations.
Right in time for the holidays FirstSpear has released three new color options on the popular Stratton Flannel. Same cut and features but now even better for winter in a much heavier 9oz weight.
100% American Made, available now in the FS Store along with what appear to be some new hats!

The SIG SAUER P365 pistol was named “Handgun of the Year,” and the SIG SAUER Electro-Optics Ballistic Data Xchange (BDX™) rangefinder and riflescope system was named “Innovation of the Year.”
Recipients of the 2018 Guns & Ammo of the Year Awards were evaluated on the following criteria: 1) the product was new and available for purchase in 2018, 2) the product must have demonstrated quality and reliability to a degree that met or exceeded its design objective, and 3) the product must offer the greatest appeal to the masses.
2018 Guns & Ammo “Handgun of the Year”: Since its introduction in January 2018, the SIG SAUER P365 pistol has taken the market by storm, and is the top selling pistol on the market today. The P365 is an everyday, concealed carry pistol. This high capacity micro-compact pistol is smaller and lighter than other pistols in its class. It features a high-capacity, patented modified double-stack magazine for a 10+1 full-size capacity, with 12-round factory made magazines available for 13-round capacity.
“To have the P365 micro-compact pistol receive the Handgun of the Year award by Guns & Ammo magazine is really an exceptional honor, and is the direct result of the relentless drive of our engineers and product managers to push the envelope when developing new products,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer, and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “Our goal with the P365 was to bring an everyday carry, micro-compact pistol with full-size capacity to the market that consumers could depend on 365 days a year, and this award is validation that we succeeded.”

In this episode, Royce Gracie discusses Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques for Law Enforcement Officers.
Royce Gracie was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is one of nine children, seven of whom are boys. His training in Jiu-Jitsu began at a very early age as a game with his father Helio. He never pushed any of the children to take formal classes until they wanted to do so. However, they often went to the Academy in Rio after school and on weekends.
Royce began competing in tournaments at age eight. He received his blue belt at age 16 and was promoted to black belt in less than two years. Royce moved to the United States at age 18 to live with his brother, Rorion. They began teaching private classes out of their garage, sometimes for more than ten hours a day. Together they opened the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy 30 years ago in Torrance, California. Although Royce no longer teaches there because of his rigorous travel schedule, it remains one of the largest martial arts schools in the country.
Royce’s reputable career as a fighter began in 1993 after defeating three opponents in the first Ultimate Fighting Championship in Denver, Colorado. His brother Rorion came up with this innovative challenge as a way to show Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to the world. Discipline after discipline was defeated by the slight 6’1”, 180 pound Royce Gracie. The viewers were in awe.
His opponents consistently outweighed him by more than 50 pounds. He went on to win 3 UFC titles and today is the only man in the history of no holds barred matches to successfully defeat four opponents in one night. After leaving the UFC Royce went on to compete in MMA events in Japan and is a huge icon in this country.
Royce holds the record for the longest MMA match in history: 90 minutes against Japanese superstar Kazushi Sakuraba in PRIDE Grand PRIX 2000. He also showed total domination of the Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Hidehiko Yoshida. His largest opponent was Sumo Grand Champion Akebono, 6? 8? 486lbs. Royce vs. Akebono was the main event of K-1 Premium Dynamite New Years Eve show on New Year’s Eve in 2004. Royce defeated the giant in just 2min and 13sec with a shoulder lock. Royce’s continued success has opened the eyes of many disbelievers to the importance of leverage and technique in grappling.
In November of 2003, Royce Gracie was the first fighter to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame along with fellow UFC veteran Ken Shamrock. Since then Royce’s face has has been seen on countless martial arts magazines such as Black Belt, Inside MMA and Tapout. He has also been featured in Men’s Health and Fitness and GQ and continues to give magazine and radio interviews. His recognition spans the globe to include fans on most every continent. In 2014 Royce was named one of the 50 Greatest Athletes in the World by Sports Illustrated.
Today Royce is privileged to spread the techniques perfected by his father all over the world. Throughout his busy fighting career Royce has maintained a rigorous travel schedule of seminars and classes. He currently oversees more than 55 US and international Royce Gracie Jiu-jitsu Networks. The techniques of Gracie Jiiu-jitsu have become mainstream in most martial arts dojos. Fighters everywhere are racing to learn and implement this jiu-jitsu in their training regimen.
His list of students is enormous. Royce has taught many of the big screen greats like Chuck Norris, Ed O’Neal, Guy Ritchie, Jim Carrey, Josh Duhamel and Nicholas Cage. He has also been very active with the CIA, FBI, DEA, Secret Service, Army Rangers, Army Special Forces, Navy Seals and many sheriff and police departments. His G.R.A.C.I.E. course for law enforcement has gained international recognition. Aside from teaching at his Networks across the United States, he regularly visits Canada, England, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, Israel, Australia, UAE and South America.
Royce makes his home in Southern California with his wife, Marianne, three sons, Khonry, Khor and Kheydon and daughter, Kharianna. He maintains an impressive training regimen, which includes running, weight training, cross training, meditation and countless hours of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. He is a full time professional athlete who eagerly awaits his next challenge. Recently he completed a 40 mile run with his long time trainer, James Strom. In Royce’s own words, “Go ahead, tell me what I can’t do!”

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the launch of two suppressors for 6 mm, 6.5 mm and .260 caliber weapon systems. First, SureFire’s exotic SOCOM260-Ti is extremely lightweight and quiet, best suited for bolt-action rifles where back pressure isn’t an issue. Next, the versatile SureFire SOCOM260-RC2 suppressor meets and exceeds the needs of 6mm, 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 caliber, semiautomatic rifles by utilizing the same technology that earned the SOCOM556-RC suppressor a victory in the harshest, most demanding suppressor trials in US Special Operations Command history.
SureFire’s SOCOM260-Ti is the lightest rifle-mount suppressor in the lineup, but if you want the best in noise attenuation, quality materials and precision craftsmanship, it’s a genuine heavy hitter. Of course, the Ti in the model name stands for titanium, and it should come as no surprise that SureFire employs only high-grade titanium alloy to produce a premium suppressor that weighs a mere 12 ounces while maintaining our strictest durability standards. But it isn’t just exotic materials that make the SOCOM260-Ti. Our engineers painstakingly crafted the SOCOM260-Ti’s V-shaped baffles to optimize performance for maximum noise attenuation. Precision tolerances, strict attention to bore concentricity and suppressor alignment with our versatile Fast-Attach® mounting system combine to provide the best titanium suppressor available.
When designing the SOCOM260-RC2 suppressor, SureFire refused to use anything but the highest grade high-temperature alloys that are CNC laser-welded and uncompromisingly durable and better suited to the higher-round count abuse of precision gas-guns. Inside, SureFire’s advanced vented baffling reduces back pressure, so as to not affect the reliability of the gas operated weapons platforms this suppressor is intended to be used on. In addition, SureFire’s patented Fast-Attach® system makes attachment/removal of the suppressor quick and easy in any environment. The SOCOM260-RC2 incorporates the latest in manufacturing techniques and materials to produce a class-leading suppressor, delivering the utmost in sound attenuation and a tremendous reduction in flash and dust signature.
Built for consistent performance and a long service life, every SureFire suppressor is proudly made in the USA.
