The PenCott Line Of Camouflage patterns expands in 2018 with the introduction of “LeatherNeck”, named in honor of the colors of the MARPAT Marine Corps uniform. This product will be worn at SHOT Show by Sean from 02401 Tactical and they’ll have caps, gaiters and jackets coming as well.
The Patent Pending MATBOCK Skins are a multi-layer adhesive/fabric laminate designed to give the user the ability to camouflage any surface desired. The Skins are waterproof and oil resistant and can be reused multiple times. Due to the adhesive’s ability to bind to the MATBOCK Ghost Lite fabric very strongly, the adhesive will not come off on the opposite surface when removing and replacing. The Ghost Lite fabric is certified Near IR Compliant as well and will not tear, fray or stretch during application and removal. Currently, MATBOCK has Skins specifically laser cut for the Team Wendy Exfil Ballistic, LTP and Carbon Bump helmets (Size 1 and 2) as well as for 3M Peltor COMTAC III Headsets.
Team Wendy and Peltor COMTAC Hesdset skins are available for purchase now. By the end of Feb, you will also be able to order all 4 sizes of Ops Core SENTRY Low Cut, FAST High Cut, FAST Super High Cut, ACH Low Cut, ECH Low Cut, Carbon Super High.
They have also done specific skins for various units and are available upon request. Additionally, MATBOCK also sells the material by the yard in 27 inch widths for any individual’s custom work such as ATVs, bikes, or side by sides.

In response to allegations in the Office of Special Projects of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction report issued in June and entitled, “Afghan National Army: DOD may have spent up to 28 million more than needed to procure camouflage uniforms that may be inappropriate for the Afghan environment”, Afghan National Army camouflage developer Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp has issued a white paper. The SIGAR report itself is available for download here and my critique of the contents of the SIGAR report can be found here.
Author Guy Cramer provides quite a bit of information to put into perspective the primary talking point in the SIGAR Report that Afghanistan is only 2% Forest. Get your copy of the Hyperstealth white paper here.

Prometheus Design Werx founder has been long time a fan of the Swedish M90 camo pattern, saying, “from a design perspective the angular shapes and layout is a fascinating visual exercise in disruptive patterns.”
Years ago, he worked with a similar design, but it never cane to market. This is his latest effort and Wednesday (Nov 1st), PDW’s AG Cashmere Shemagh will be offered in this unique pattern.
