Wednesday, January 25th, 2012ODG Statement on the Army’s Camouflage Improvement Effort
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012Orion Design Group provided us with this statement in reference to their status in the Army’s Camouflage Improvement Effort.
“So What Happened with CIP?”
We were asked this question at SHOT and OR and here on SSD and on FB several times, so at this point we felt it’s time to release a statement.
Did we submit for CIP?… Yes.
Were we down selected?….No.
Why you ask? The bottom line is we failed to meet the requirement set fourth by Natick in the RFP. We submitted an advanced design methodology, advanced file type, and an advanced proprietary print technology. All of which were outside the scope of what they wanted and asked for. We accept the fact that it was solely our fault for the file type over sight period, end of story. Are we going to whine and feel sorry for ourselves? Nope, not in the least. Instead we will push forward with our outstanding team of industry leading manufacturers and affiliates and continue to bring cutting edge designs in hard goods, soft goods, and signature management technologies to the SOF, hunting, and outdoor performance communities. Simply, we will focus on what is important and the main reason most of us are in this business. To help build kick ass gear, for kick ass people! A sincere and special thanks to those companies that put their trust and confidence in us and helped make Orion Design Group a reality. We look forward to your continued mentorship, friendship, and guidance as we embark on our first year. Best of luck to all the companies that were down selected for CIP, and to all of our competitors.
Cilo Gear Pulls Back the Curtain
Monday, January 23rd, 2012We’ve mentioned Cilo Gear in the past but their military programs have remained very much shrouded in mystery. However, this OR we were offered a glimpse at a couple of their newest prototype products.
The first item is a very simple shell garment made from a reversible waterproof breathable fabric which can be printed on both sides. It currently weighs 9.6 oz but should weigh in around 6 oz once the final version comes to market. For example, they are ditching the pocket and changing the zipper and seam tape.
This pack is based on a commercial model WorkSack and will be available in March with a number of different options including drain holds, Terminal Attack Controller options, or as a lid for biggest dumb pack you ever saw. Like all Cilo Gear products its super lightweight, weighing less than a pound, with a final weight pending a couple of new design concepts.

ADS Inc’s Other Camo Entry
Thursday, January 19th, 2012
We know that ADS Inc, partnered with Guy Cramer is a finalist in the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort. While we can’t show you their winning patterns (Alpha) just yet, we are able to show you another family of patterns they submitted called Delta. Both Alpha and Delta are so-called digital patterns and in both instances, ADS submitted a full four patterns (Arid, Woodland, Transitional, and OCIE).
(l-r, OCIE, Arid, Transitional and Woodland)
While it isn’t very clear from the photograph, one interesting aspect of this disclosure is that the Delta patterns’ feathered edges actually showed a lower performance than the hard edged geometry of the winning ADS family of patterns.
