Warrior Assault Systems’ DCS DA Plate Carrier Available in A-TACS FG

Monday, October 15th, 2012

UK-based Warrior Assault Systems has introduced their DCS (Dynamic Combat System) in A-TACS FG Camo. Warrior Assault Systems claims that the design was developed with “direct input from active S.F. Operators” and is “suitable for both Special Forces requirements, and PSD Operations”. Fair enough. The DCS accommodates large plates front and back and has the ability to carry either “6 x 6? or “6 x 8? side plates. It is also designed to accept NEXUS NIJ Level 3a Front and Back. Additionally, there is room for ICW side plates.

The shoulders are fully adjustable and have an Emergency Release on one side which frees the left hand side shoulder section and allows the wearer to remove the vest without having to remove his helmet. The side sections of the DCS are fully adjustable for size and can be adjusted in under 15 seconds. 3D Spacer Mesh lining is used for comfort and allows body heat to move away from the bodies surface while assisting in air flow to provide cooling.

The DCS was developed to be worn in tandem with their Warrior Frag Belt and comes standard with 5 x Open Mag pouches for 5.56mm Mags as well as 2 x Small Utility / Medic Pouch.

MultiCam Shows Up Everywhere

Sunday, October 14th, 2012

At least from a branding standpoint, when the civilian consumer market thinks military, they think MultiCam. Yet another example of this is this “Military Limited Edition” bottle of firm hold styling gel from American Crew.

20121014-111808.jpg

I took the boys in for hair cuts this morning and low-and-behold, there it was, a MultiCamesque pattern on the shelf of our local Best Cuts. Now, American Crew wants you to know that they support the USO. But this bottle illustrates an issue that someone is going to encounter starting early next year. The US Army is going to select a new family of camouflage patterns. US Government use of those patterns will be covered a licensing agreement. But commercial use, such as this bottle will controlled by the pattern developer. It’s going to be very lucrative for the winner, if they can control its licensed use. With everything from Halloween costumes to bookmarks to hair gel already out there sporting MultiCam in order to capitalize on America’s support of her military, how will the winner of the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort get their arms around the market and control use of their IP?

Arc’teryx LEAF Wraith Available from Tactical Distributors

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

Tactical Distributors has put together a pretty good video showing the features of the Arc’teryx LEAF Wraith. It is an Overgarment designed to fit over your kit and provide camouflage. It can be used for winter with the white version or just to provide rudimentary camo to street clothes with the Crocodile version. Conversely, it also works as a great, lightweight, low volume emergency shell. It’s highly breathable ripstop construction features a DWR coating that will help keep your insulating layers dry as long as you keep moving. My experience is that it will keep up with conditions in all but torrential rains.
