Respecting the calls for us to reintroduce our h-harnesses and belts, we recognized a trend to go back to the battle tested designs of the past. In doing so, we wanted to honor our beginnings by doing a reboot of an ALICE Pack predecessor – the ARVN Ranger Pack, a favorite of MACV-SOG and other SOF units.
At a base level, this is a hat tip to our early days modifying ALICE packs, but it’s much more significant than that. SOTECH started in a time when we were issued the same tired designs that barely evolved from World War Two through Korea and Vietnam and into the Cold War of the 80’s.
There was a creativity born from lessons from the field, and a handful of innovators started companies to modify and then create alternatives. In this vein, we took the day pack version of what would become the ALICE and modernized and modified the design with Tegris and improved cuts (the pack was designed for small-framed Vietnamese soldiers). The result is an EDC pack that takes you back to your days in BDUs every time you cinch that ribbed web through those metal tabler buckles.
The ARVN pack meticulously recreated, every small detail accounted for. Original steel hardware upcycled from original issued kit.
Updates from the original:
-Updated 420D Nylon vs canvas. Same nylon as the Medium and Large ALICE packs
-Snap closure front 2 pockets for easier and faster access
-Hidden HDPE insert with foam backer for extra comfort
-Updated frame, from steel to modern laser cut Tegris, designed in collab. with GWA
-Repositioned bottom shoulder strap ring to the side for extra comfort
S.O.Tech x GWA ARVN Packs in Tiger will run $200.

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (31 March 2022)—Maker of advanced-technology tactical garments UF PRO today revealed it will begin producing its popular Striker X Battle Dress Uniform in the Italian camouflage pattern Vegetato.
The three-piece Striker X BDU consists of Striker X Combat Pants, Striker X Combat Shirt, and Striker Gen.2 Boonie Hat. All three will be available in Vegetato; however UF PRO said it intends to make only a limited number of each in that pattern.
Vegetato was introduced in 2004 for use by Italian military units operating in the Mediterranean Basin. According to UF PRO, the Vegetato pattern provides effective concealment in virtually any semi-arid or subtropical environment dominated by small trees and dense shrubs.
UF PRO said it expects that its offering of the Striker X BDU in Vegetato will prove to be a winning maneuver.
Each of the three Striker X BDU pieces is in its own right a victory, the company added. For example, the Striker X Combat Pants represent new thinking about how combat trousers are designed and built to provide the ruggedness, knee protection, and pocket configurations required by today’s military operators.
The Striker X Combat Shirt is similarly beast-like in its ability to survive abuse thanks to its Lyocell/polyamide-knitted fabric construction and abrasion-resistant ceramic dots reinforcement.
In addition, UF PRO noted, both the shirt and pants are exceptionally comfortable. So is the Striker Gen.2 Boonie Hat, which features mesh ventilation openings front and back to allow the free circulation of air around the head while the sun beats down.

Premiering this month is a new book by author Eric Larson entitled, “Camouflage: International Ground Force Patterns, 1946–2017” from Casemate Publishing.
The book aims to offer an academically-supported reference of all of the major military and paramilitary camouflage patterns that have been in use around the world from the end of World War Two to today.
In addition to color tiles illustrating camouflage patterns it will include photographs of the designs actually being worn by military and paramilitary personnel.
Eric H. Larson is quite well known in camouflage collecting circles for founding the website Camopedia as well as one of the very first internet forums devoted to discussion of camouflage designs and military combat uniforms, the International Camouflage Uniform Society (ICUS).
TRZIN, SLOVENIA (24 March 2022)—UF PRO today announced it will soon release limited numbers of its Striker X Battle Dress Uniform in France’s high-performance CCE camouflage pattern for dense European forests and similar environments.
CCE stands for Camouflage Centre-Europe in French and is considered ideal for concealment at mid- to long-distances in places lush with green and brown foliage (CCE’s pattern features a tan background overlaid with macro- and midi-elements of woodland shapes in green and brown).
Inspired by the U.S. Army’s Woodland pattern, CCE was introduced in 1991 and replaced France’s venerable TAP47 “lizard” camouflage, introduced in 1947. CCE has been standard-issue for French troops since 1994 and more recently has been adopted by Austrian and Indian forces.
The Striker X BDU consists of three pieces: combat pants, combat shirt, and boonie hat.
Embracing a radical rethinking about trouser design, the Striker X Combat Pants are constructed to meet the rigorous demands of military special-forces units for which extreme ruggedness, reliable protection surrounding the knees, and super-spacious and intelligently configured pockets are crucial.
Meanwhile, the Striker X Combat Shirt (like the combat pants) is built to withstand punishing use, a seeming impossibility given its exceptionally comfortable softness. The explanation is that the torso material (known as Lizard/Skin) is constructed from Lyocell/polyamide-knitted fabric reinforced with ceramic dots for tremendous abrasion resistance.
The Striker Gen.2 Boonie Hat has mesh ventilation openings front and back to allow the free circulation of air on hot, sunny days. Other vital features include adjustable fit, adjustable brim shape, and an inside-the-crown hidden pocket for holding cash, a passport, and other small documents or objects.
UF PRO did not disclose the exact number of Striker X BDUs it plans to print in CCE, but indicated the quantity would be limited.
