50/50 poly-cotton ripstop stretch tactical fabric produced in partnership with 707 Tactical Gear.
Hyde Definition Ltd., the parent company of the PenCott® camouflage brand, today announces the long-awaited return of GreenZone™ camouflage garment fabric for wholesale purchasing.
Production of PenCott camouflage fabrics unfortunately ended a few years ago because of circumstances in the supply chain that were beyond the company’s control. Now, thanks to our long-time partners at 707 Tactical Gear, PenCott camouflage pattern fabrics are available again.
First up is a new breathable 50/50 polyester-cotton mix fabric with mechanical stretch and a ripstop weave. Of a more comfortable lighter weight (195 grams per square meter) than military standard 50/50 NyCo (205 grams per square meter) and treated with Bionic Finish® C6 for water and oil resistance and Silver+® anti-bacterial treatment, this fabric is ideal to produce modern tactical and outdoor garments.
Note: to provide an economical price point, and to avoid possible import / export restrictions, this fabric does not incorporate US/NATO nIR performance standards.
GreenZone has won many loyal users all over the world because of its exceptional concealment performance–as well as for not being an official military pattern. This led to PenCott being adopted by numerous law enforcement units and security agencies, as well as being used by special operations units that want to conceal their presence and identity effectively. We have received numerous testimonials from these professional end users of how impressed they have been with the effectiveness of the patterns, and the success of their missions as a result–which is ultimately why we do what we do.
This current production run of poly-cotton GreenZone fabric is the first step in bringing PenCott fabrics back onto the market. A production run of 500D nylon GreenZone is in planning, as well as additional fabric types and colorways.

PenCott is named in honor of two WWII British camouflage pioneers – Sir Roland Penrose and Dr. Hugh Cott – and is the result of several years of individual scientific development by Dominic Hyde. The PenCott pattern geometry combines false edges for superior shape disruption (high-difference color boundaries) as well as the illusion of 3D depth through texture matching techniques (hypo-acuitive dithering). The pattern also includes micro, midi, and macro sized fractals for both blending and disrupting properties.

A few months ago, Blue Force Gear did a limited-edition run of their Vickers Sling in the iconic Chocolate Chip camouflage pattern. It was so popular that they’ve decided to bring it back.
The “chocolate chip” camouflage pattern, officially known as the “Six-Color Desert pattern” or “Desert Battle Dress Uniform (DBDU) pattern,” was developed by the United States military in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was designed specifically for desert environments.
As with any limited-edition item that Blue Force Gear launches, they will only be available while supplies last, so you need to act fast!
Tactical Distributors is thrilled to announce our latest annual collaboration with the legendary Crye Precision, and this year, we’re paying homage to tactical history with a fresh, limited edition drop in the iconic Frogskin Beach camo. This exclusive collection features Crye’s renowned G3 combat pants and shirts reimagined in a pattern with deep roots and a fierce reputation.
The Legacy of Frogskin Beach: A Battle-Tested Pattern
Frogskin Beach camo, one of the earliest U.S. military camouflage patterns, was originally designed in the 1940s and saw its first major use in the Pacific Theater by the Marine Corps. Known for its blotchy, irregular pattern, Frogskin Beach was engineered to provide crucial concealment in the tropical jungle and sandy beach landscapes, mirroring the natural textures and colors of dense foliage and coastal terrains. By 1942, this distinct “Frogskin” pattern became an iconic tool for Marines navigating the relentless and chaotic environments of WWII’s Pacific front, offering them a tactical edge in the heat of combat.
Today, this pattern is a legend — a piece of military heritage brought back to life with a modern edge. It’s not just a camo; it’s a reimagined tribute to all warriors who carry the spirit of those who came before, and this collection brings it forward with Crye’s unmatched craftsmanship and Tactical Distributors’ drive for quality, modern style, and performance.
Gear Up: Crye Precision G3 Combat Pants and Shirts in Frogskin Beach
Built to withstand the intensity of combat while maintaining versatility, the Crye Precision G3 combat pants and shirts are the cornerstone of this collection. Engineered with the highest standards of mobility and durability, the G3 series has been the trusted choice for elite operators. Now, with the Frogskin Beach pattern, these pieces offer not only tactical functionality but a nod to military history that few other garments can match.
The G3 combat pants feature advanced ergonomic design elements, articulated knees, and pockets positioned to keep essential gear close and accessible. Pair that with the G3 combat shirt’s sweat-wicking torso, designed to integrate seamlessly with body armor, and you’ve got the ultimate blend of protection, comfort, and style. Both are now available in Frogskin Beach, creating a new look with unmatched heritage and performance.
Exclusive Custom Apparel: Limited Tees and Crewnecks
But we didn’t stop with combat gear. To complete the collection, we’re launching custom, limited-edition tees and crewneck sweatshirts in the Frogskin Beach print, exclusive to Tactical Distributors. Each piece reflects the same bold attitude and respect for tactical heritage, making them not only functional but wearable pieces of history. From the streets to the range, these tees and crewnecks are designed for those who want to honor the past while breaking boundaries in style.
Limited Availability: Only for the Bold
This release is strictly limited, crafted for those who value the weight of legacy and the thrill of innovation. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of tactical history — reimagined and revived for the modern warrior.
For those ready to take on the mission in style, the 2024 Crye Precision x Tac Dis Frogskin Beach Collection is available starting 11.15.2024 Noon ET only at Tactical Distributors. Suit up, honor the past, and bring it into the future with gear that stands the test of time.

I ran across InfraHex Multispectral Camouflage in the Colt CZ Group booth. It’s offered by 4D Tactical which is based in the Czech Republic and part of CZ Group.
This is another one of those technologies which has become critical due to the ISR threat demonstrated in the conflict in Ukraine. The ability to hide even the individual Soldier from visual (day and night) as well as various wavelengths of thermal sensors is a challenge as they can be fielded cheaply.
InfraHex is a 9-layer, nanotech fabric which reduces infrared signatures by as much as 96%. It’s also breathable and has a fluorocarbon coating to reduce water buildup.
Sons of Liberty Gun Works Launches the OB1 Signature Rifle by Christian Craighead: A Tribute to Excellence in Craftsmanship and Service
SAN ANTONIO TEXAS – Sons of Liberty Gun Works® is proud to announce the release of the “OB1” Signature Rifle, meticulously built to the exact specifications of Christian Craighead, a highly decorated veteran of the British military. With a distinguished 28-year career, including pivotal roles in the 22nd SAS, Craighead is renowned for his bravery, particularly for his decisive actions during the terrorist siege in Nairobi, Kenya, in January 2019. Since retiring in 2020, he has made Texas his home and partnered with Sons of Liberty Gun Works to bring his vision to life.
The OB1 rifle is a true reflection of Craighead’s commitment to excellence. It features an intricate engraving of the Blackbeard Boarding Party logo—representing Craighead’s own company—melding classic pirate imagery with elements inspired by the weaponry of the Revolutionary War. This unique aesthetic is further enhanced by the rifle’s cerakote finish in Craighead’s trademarked Rhodesian Brushstroke camouflage.

Born in Northeast England, Christian Craighead has always taken an unorthodox route, constantly defying the odds stacked against him at every level.
At the age of sixteen, he joined the British Army, initially serving in the fearsome Parachute Regiment, and was then selected for the elite Pathfinder Platoon. Craighead’s natural “get the job done” mindset secured him a coveted spot at the pinnacle of most soldiers’ dreams: Tier 1 Special Forces.
As a senior and highly decorated member of 22 SAS, the British Army’s Special Mission Unit known for covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism and hostage rescue, he participated in an exceptionally high number of high-risk missions and was wounded in action. This hard-earned combat experience underpins his reputation as a renowned counter-terrorism and special tactics instructor.
In 2019, Craighead single-handedly shifted the outcome of a terrorist attack in Kenya. His actions and leadership during the brutal attack are credited with saving hundreds of lives. Those unauthorized actions earned him global praise as well as an invitation and personal gratitude from the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
After 28 years of active service, Craighead retired in 2020. He continues to conduct leadership and specialized training and is sought after for keynote speaking engagements. The goal of his work is to encourage anyone to become the necessary leader, to have the courage to make decisions, and to actively reshape the narrative instead of being the passive bystander.
Staying true to his unconventional manner, Craighead is also the author of a children’s book, The Wrong Wolf. He now resides in Texas.
In a directive issued in late September, the Commanding General of Marine Special Operations Command orders the cession of wear of MultiCam uniforms and equipment. Instead, MARSOC Marines and Sailors will wear FROG uniforms until the command can procure SOF Peculiar uniforms in MARPAT patterns. Additionally, they will no longer use field equipment in MultiCam but rather procure gear in OD Green.
This will cost millions of dollars after the decision was made to streamline SOF procurement to one colorway, the MultiCam pattern.
