Coming soon in a dozen patterns is the SOF Smock from Platatac.

Built for the kind of safari where the animals shoot back.

Safari Collection season VI – “The African Dictator Special” is inspired largely by the sartorial choices of Mobutu Sese Seko who was a Congolese politician and military officer who renamed Congo to Zaire and ruled it for 26 years from 1971 to 1997.

He was well known for donning his iconic leopard print hat.

Drops this Friday, 3PM EDT. All items are made in Canada by Perroz Designs and distributed by Qilo Tactical.

OG Lone Star has opened pre-orders on their Logo ball caps in six-color desert camouflage aka chocolate chip pattern festooned with the Lone Star Beer logo.

I ran across the Eclipse from Edgar Sherman Design last week during a visit to Fort Bragg. He pulled it down and from where it was hanging and I immediately knew what it was intended for.

Drone operators and SOT-A members use tablets and laptops that emit a lot of light which could lead to disaster in a patrol base or other clandestine hide. The Eclipse contains that light pollution.
The Eclipse is made from two layers of Cordura with MultiCam on the outside and Black on the interior. Incorporating an adjustable head harness, nose clip, and two hand access points, no light will escape. In addition to an access point at the bottom to emplace the laptop or tablet, there are reinforcements along to body to keep the material from bunching and blocking the operator’s view.
The Eclipse is available for special order. Production is currently military so they are primarily offering these to the military customer. Give them a shout to get yours.
During Enforce Tac our friends at TACWRX showed us several Tasmanian Tiger pack styles which they are offering exclusively in Budeswehr Flektarn, the woodland version which is now often referred to as Fünf Farben Flecktarn or five color.

Seen here (clockwise) are the Mil Ops Pack 30, Pouch 8.1 Hip, and Survival Pack. Everything is made with 500D Cordura.

They are also offering the Modular Hip Bag in the pattern.

Each year Helikon-Tex revives an old camouflage pattern. This year, it’s ERDL which was developed by the US Army’s Engineering, Research, and Development Lab (ERDL) in 1948 but didn’t see service until late in the Vietnam War on jungle fatigues. Eventually, the pattern was modified and became the Woodland camo pattern in 1981.

They always have the best displays. Seen here is the Helikon-Tex Raid Shirt and Treadstone Jeans.
