Eberlestock Unveiling Surprising New Products at SHOT Show

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

We received the coolest Pre-SHOT Show announcement we have seen this season from Eberlestock.

“In keeping with Eberlestock’s tradition of unveiling surprising new products at the Shot Show, this year we’ll display more unique and new intellectual property per square inch than any other company under the roof. Stop by booth #1108 and see:”

A new sniper / precision long range chassis system that is the core of the shortest-folding stock in the world. Designed as a bolt-on commercial product, this chassis brings the look of modern weaponry to conventional bolt-action rifles. See the above photo for a hint of what this system looks like. On the 25th anniversary of the “Eberle Stock” that revolutionized the Olympic sport of biathlon, they felt it was appropriate to remind people where our company name is derived from, and to reaffirm that they are more than a pack company.

The first in a line of new generation ALICE-frame-based pack systems developed by request of their military sniper customers.

New big-mountain packs targeted at both sheep hunters and the European military market.

A set of exciting new camouflage patterns developed in partnership with the Hide-Open camouflage company, and first introduced to the world on Eberlestock products.

The new Gunrunner pack, which is simplicity and elegance in backpack form… it’s just going to be a fun way to run around with a rifle on your back.

Seul Military Consulting

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

We met the folks from Seul military Consulting at last year’s SHOT Show and were immediately impressed with what they had going on. They are responsible for the introduction of Crye Precision combat clothing in German Flecktarn for use by German forces (and MultiCam as well). Not only do they rep the top tier US brands in their home country of Germany but they manufacture some of their own home grown designs as well.

Their own brand is called ATLAS and they produce unique stuff like multi-pocket field jackets, boonie hats, Baseball caps with Velcro and more.

Look for Seul Military Consulting wandering the halls of SHOT Show. They will be there looking for new products to introduce to the German market.

PenCott-Snowdrift Camouflage

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

While the US Army might not be interested in introducing a new camouflage pattern for snow, Hyde Definition has introduced their new PenCott-Snowdriftâ„¢ pattern.

Hyde Definition’s strategy is to introduce disruptive elements to the plain white background normally found in traditional snow camo uniforms. As you can see, they are mimicking the shadows and debris usually found in these environments.

GHOSTEX at SHOT Show

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

While it’s not truly a debut, GHOSTEX, a joint venture between camouflage gurus Hyperstealth and tailored logistics titans ADS is being unveiled to the masses. The reason we say not truly a debut is that previously, they had premiered a sample of their lineup at the ADS Warrior Expo last summer in Virgina Beach.

Intended primarily to support niche forces, GHOSTEX (Ghost Textures) derives its name from the US Army’s Ghost unit of WWII, (23rd Headquarters Special Troops). This Ghost Army specialized in Camouflage, Concealment and Deception (CCD). The premise of the mashup is intriguing; Commercial Off the Shelf camo patterns to cover virtually any scenario paired with rapid manufacturing capabilities to support contingency operations.

We took a look at their wares during the Warrior Expo and came back impressed. The GHOSTEX website goes into pretty good detail about what they are up to so make sure you visit it to gain a deeper understanding of what they have going on. One important detail that we appreciate is that the GHOSTEX program is limited to authorized customers. These patterns are going to be restricted to those who need them only.

Will GHOSTEX be a contender for the Army’s Family of Camouflage program? We won’t know the answer to that until the solicitation is actually released, but if they do, my money is on something completely new that we haven’t even seen yet. After all, with over 8000 patterns to their credit, no one concentrates on camo like Hyperstealth.

Be sure to visit the Hyperstealth reps at ADS, Inc’s booth #20415.
