Platatac Has Frogskin!

Monday, December 23rd, 2024

What might sound like an insult to many is actually great news for those in the know.

Frogskin camouflage was developed by the US military during World War II and most famously used by the Marines during the island hopping campaign across the Pacific Theater.

Like with other historical patterns, Platatac has taken this classic and applied it to their most popular designs like the Peacekeeper Mk5 chest rig, SD Duffel, Kurtz Shirt, and Jaywick Shorts, with more coming in early 2025.

PenCott-GreenZone Camouflage Fabric Available Once Again!

Friday, December 6th, 2024

50/50 poly-cotton ripstop stretch tactical fabric produced in partnership with 707 Tactical Gear.

Hyde Definition Ltd., the parent company of the PenCott® camouflage brand, today announces the long-awaited return of GreenZone™ camouflage garment fabric for wholesale purchasing.

Production of PenCott camouflage fabrics unfortunately ended a few years ago because of circumstances in the supply chain that were beyond the company’s control. Now, thanks to our long-time partners at 707 Tactical Gear, PenCott camouflage pattern fabrics are available again.

First up is a new breathable 50/50 polyester-cotton mix fabric with mechanical stretch and a ripstop weave. Of a more comfortable lighter weight (195 grams per square meter) than military standard 50/50 NyCo (205 grams per square meter) and treated with Bionic Finish® C6 for water and oil resistance and Silver+® anti-bacterial treatment, this fabric is ideal to produce modern tactical and outdoor garments.

Note: to provide an economical price point, and to avoid possible import / export restrictions, this fabric does not incorporate US/NATO nIR performance standards.

GreenZone has won many loyal users all over the world because of its exceptional concealment performance–as well as for not being an official military pattern. This led to PenCott being adopted by numerous law enforcement units and security agencies, as well as being used by special operations units that want to conceal their presence and identity effectively. We have received numerous testimonials from these professional end users of how impressed they have been with the effectiveness of the patterns, and the success of their missions as a result–which is ultimately why we do what we do.

This current production run of poly-cotton GreenZone fabric is the first step in bringing PenCott fabrics back onto the market. A production run of 500D nylon GreenZone is in planning, as well as additional fabric types and colorways.

Also visit SK7USA.com to also see their fully restocked range of finished products in mil-spec 50/50 NyCo and 500D nylonPenCott GreenZone and BadLands patterns.

PenCott is named in honor of two WWII British camouflage pioneers – Sir Roland Penrose and Dr. Hugh Cott – and is the result of several years of individual scientific development by Dominic Hyde. The PenCott pattern geometry combines false edges for superior shape disruption (high-difference color boundaries) as well as the illusion of 3D depth through texture matching techniques (hypo-acuitive dithering). The pattern also includes micro, midi, and macro sized fractals for both blending and disrupting properties.

707 Tactical Gear™ is a company dedicated to the design and manufacture of innovative and advanced tactical and military apparel and footwear. It is one of the few American companies in its niche that can design specific products according to clients’ requests and manufacture them in their wholly ownedfactories. The company offers its products commercially under the SK7® brand with shipping worldwide.

Chocolate Chip Camo VCAS Slings

Friday, November 29th, 2024

A few months ago, Blue Force Gear did a limited-edition run of their Vickers Sling in the iconic Chocolate Chip camouflage pattern. It was so popular that they’ve decided to bring it back.

The “chocolate chip” camouflage pattern, officially known as the “Six-Color Desert pattern” or “Desert Battle Dress Uniform (DBDU) pattern,” was developed by the United States military in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was designed specifically for desert environments.

As with any limited-edition item that Blue Force Gear launches, they will only be available while supplies last, so you need to act fast!

Tactical Distributors Unveils New Crye Precision x Tac Dis Collaboration in Iconic Frogskin Beach Camo: A Tribute to Tactical Heritage

Friday, November 15th, 2024

Tactical Distributors is thrilled to announce our latest annual collaboration with the legendary Crye Precision, and this year, we’re paying homage to tactical history with a fresh, limited edition drop in the iconic Frogskin Beach camo. This exclusive collection features Crye’s renowned G3 combat pants and shirts reimagined in a pattern with deep roots and a fierce reputation.

The Legacy of Frogskin Beach: A Battle-Tested Pattern

Frogskin Beach camo, one of the earliest U.S. military camouflage patterns, was originally designed in the 1940s and saw its first major use in the Pacific Theater by the Marine Corps. Known for its blotchy, irregular pattern, Frogskin Beach was engineered to provide crucial concealment in the tropical jungle and sandy beach landscapes, mirroring the natural textures and colors of dense foliage and coastal terrains. By 1942, this distinct “Frogskin” pattern became an iconic tool for Marines navigating the relentless and chaotic environments of WWII’s Pacific front, offering them a tactical edge in the heat of combat.

Today, this pattern is a legend — a piece of military heritage brought back to life with a modern edge. It’s not just a camo; it’s a reimagined tribute to all warriors who carry the spirit of those who came before, and this collection brings it forward with Crye’s unmatched craftsmanship and Tactical Distributors’ drive for quality, modern style, and performance.

Gear Up: Crye Precision G3 Combat Pants and Shirts in Frogskin Beach

Built to withstand the intensity of combat while maintaining versatility, the Crye Precision G3 combat pants and shirts are the cornerstone of this collection. Engineered with the highest standards of mobility and durability, the G3 series has been the trusted choice for elite operators. Now, with the Frogskin Beach pattern, these pieces offer not only tactical functionality but a nod to military history that few other garments can match.

The G3 combat pants feature advanced ergonomic design elements, articulated knees, and pockets positioned to keep essential gear close and accessible. Pair that with the G3 combat shirt’s sweat-wicking torso, designed to integrate seamlessly with body armor, and you’ve got the ultimate blend of protection, comfort, and style. Both are now available in Frogskin Beach, creating a new look with unmatched heritage and performance.

Exclusive Custom Apparel: Limited Tees and Crewnecks

But we didn’t stop with combat gear. To complete the collection, we’re launching custom, limited-edition tees and crewneck sweatshirts in the Frogskin Beach print, exclusive to Tactical Distributors. Each piece reflects the same bold attitude and respect for tactical heritage, making them not only functional but wearable pieces of history. From the streets to the range, these tees and crewnecks are designed for those who want to honor the past while breaking boundaries in style.

Limited Availability: Only for the Bold

This release is strictly limited, crafted for those who value the weight of legacy and the thrill of innovation. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of tactical history — reimagined and revived for the modern warrior.

For those ready to take on the mission in style, the 2024 Crye Precision x Tac Dis Frogskin Beach Collection is available starting 11.15.2024 Noon ET only at Tactical Distributors. Suit up, honor the past, and bring it into the future with gear that stands the test of time.

The new Crye Precision x Tac Dis Frogskin Beach Collection is more than gear; it’s a story, a statement, and a salute to tactical history — join us in making it yours.

AUSA 24 – InfraHex Multispectral Camouflage by 4D Tactical

Monday, October 21st, 2024

I ran across InfraHex Multispectral Camouflage in the Colt CZ Group booth. It’s offered by 4D Tactical which is based in the Czech Republic and part of CZ Group.

This is another one of those technologies which has become critical due to the ISR threat demonstrated in the conflict in Ukraine. The ability to hide even the individual Soldier from visual (day and night) as well as various wavelengths of thermal sensors is a challenge as they can be fielded cheaply.

InfraHex is a 9-layer, nanotech fabric which reduces infrared signatures by as much as 96%. It’s also breathable and has a fluorocarbon coating to reduce water buildup.
