Tuesday, March 20th, 2012
SABRE is German firm JK Defence & Security Products GmbH’s tactical brand. Out of all of the new commercial camouflage patterns available, JK Defence selected Hyde Definition’s PenCott to offer their customers in the special operations community. PenCott is also the only non-German camouflage pattern in the SABRE portfolio.
Up to now, JK Defence has been selling PenCott-GreenZone and PenCott-Badlands clothing and gear to German and Austrian military and law enforcement special ops units, but not to the commercial market. But, due to the increasing popularity of and demand for the PenCott patterns, JK Defence has decided to also offer PenCott clothing and gear commercially as well.
The PenCott products will be on the SABRE website soon, in the meantime here are some sneak peak photos of SABRE’s 3rd Generation Special Forces Smock and Combat Field Shirt in PenCott-GreenZone and PenCott-Badlands.

Nigerian Police Showing Off New Camo
Thursday, March 15th, 2012
Here, you can see the Nigerian Inspector General of Police (IG), Mohammed Abubakar sporing the new ‘urban’ pattern. While we have no idea at this point how they decided on this pattern, it’s refreshing to see leadership wearing it and soliciting feedback from the public.
While many are going to want to criticize the pattern but please remember the main purpose of a uniform and that is to identify the member of an organization. Interestingly, it doesn’t seem all that unique and resembles the so-called urban woodland pattern available in the surplus market throughout the 90s. The reason this is so important is that one of underlying factors in adopting new uniforms in the first place was that it provide, “security features to forestall impersonation.”

Sneak Peek – The Brandon Webb Camo Project
Friday, March 9th, 2012
Unfortunately, we can’t give too many details (yet), but SOFREP Editor Brandon Webb is working with an unidentified company on a new hunting camouflage. They are telling me that this will be next breakthrough pattern in the outdoor industry because they are working to conceal the hunter in more than just the visual spectrum. The idea is great camo with signature management properties at an affordable price.
Here are a couple of shots to give you an idea of what he is up to.
Sitka Fanatic Vest
Thursday, March 8th, 2012
Sitka introduced the new Fanatic Vest at this year’s SHOT Show. Based on the Fanatic Jacket it features the same, main diagonal zipper design. This leaves a clean front for a kangaroo-style handwarmer pocket. It also offsets the zipper so there aren’t a bunch of zippers piled up on the chin. Manufactured from 133g/m2 Primaloft Sport insulation and WINDSTOPPER fabric in Forest Concealment sizes Med – 3XLge.
Remember, Sitka products are intended for hunting but the features of this vest might do well for certain tactical applications.
Coming later this year from www.SitkaGear.com.
