The Origins of Project Honor Camo

Wednesday, July 18th, 2012

Last week we showed you the new Project Honor Camouflage pattern from LBX Tactical. Taking its name from Project Honor, an awareness and charity program associated with the upcoming Electronic Arts video game title ‘Medal of Honor Warfighter’ you can now see how it was created.

Working with Element Group, they adapted the TF Lion insignia to produce the pattern and went to Duro Textiles for printing. Look for pre-orders later this week of a variety of products in this unique camo pattern.

Grey Ghost Gear Pack Giveaway

Monday, July 16th, 2012

Let’s face it, the Lightweight Operator Packs from Grey Ghost Gear look great. My kids wore them to last week’s Warrior Expo Week and they spent most of their visit explaining where they got them. Somehow that turned into a rumor that someone was giving them away. Well now they are.

Grey Ghost Gear has had a lot of success with their PenCott pattern packs but they want to know if they should keep making them, or if they should try out a different camouflage, or better yet, both. Grey Ghost wants to know what you think, but they want to hear your opinion on their Facebook page. They value your opinion so much that they are willing to give away a pack a day for three days running. This means that today, they will give away a Badlands, tomorrow a Sandstorm and on Wednesday a Greenzone pack.

To enter, visit www.facebook.com/pages/Grey-Ghost-Gear and Like them. And then tell them that Soldier Systems Daily sent you and which camo patterns they should make packs in.

They will randomly draw a winner from those posts each evening. You don’t have to reenter each day, once is enough, but you can only win once. Void where prohibited.

Branding In Your Camo?

Monday, July 16th, 2012

How do you guys feel about this trend of including branding in camouflage patterns? Two immediate military examples come to mind; the EGA (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) in MARPAT and the ACE (Anchor, Constitution, and Eagle) in the Navy’s NWU (Navy Working Uniform) patterns.

On the commercial side we’ve seen Kryptek embed their helmet logo and the Honor Camo for the upcoming video game title Medal of Honor Warfighter includes a couple of brand embellishments as well.

So, what do you think? Good idea or bad?

US4CES Camo Preview

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

ADS Inc has released a few new photos of their US4CES family of camouflage, selected by the US Army as a finalist in their Camouflage Improvement Program. US4CES camouflage patterns share a common shape geometry and are offered in colorways developed specifically for Woodland, Arid, Transitional environments. Additionally, ADS and their partner Guy Cramer have introduced a specific color option for use with Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment that is complimentary to the three environmental patterns. All four of these patterns are currently undergoing the most intensive camouflage testing ever conducted by the US Army or for that matter, anyone. In these photos you can see the various patterns in live environments.
