This is Tu, the founder of Ronin Tactics, a great tactical company based at the Springs in Colorado. He is a real-deal, no kidding badass, and he wears plaid, a lot. He doesn’t smile often though, so it looks like they caught him on a good day.

Kryptek Camo Spotted In Jurassic World
Thursday, June 18th, 2015It you haven’t seen Jurassic World yet, I suggest do. It’s a fun movie. You may just spot a few cool bits of kit.
InGen’s Asset Containment Unit of the recently released Jurassic World can be spotted wearing Kryptek pattern Vertx clothing. And through the pattern in the photos may look like Kryptek Typhon, it’s not!
As it turns out, Kryptek Typhon was too dark for the needs of the production crew, which is why a team of agers and dyers took Kryptek Mandrake pattern clothing instead and over-dyed it to look very close to Typhon. These teams also handle the tracking and replication of wear, tear, and battle damage to clothing.
Thanks to ‘MK’ for the tip!
Officially Licensed MultiCam Products Coming Out Of Brazil
Tuesday, June 9th, 2015
UPDATE: Apparently, these items are made with genuine fabric but not under official license. For example, some of the design features infringe on Crye Precision patents such as the kneepad interface.
FORHONOR is a Brazil-based tactical clothing company that has produced a line of combat uniforms, with patterns including MultiCam, MultiCam Black, and MultiCam Tropic, and are manufactured using US materials.
The combat shirt features a mandarin-style collar with a 1/4 zip. The sleeves are made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop, including bicep pockets and Velcro loop fields for ID and morale patches; the wrists also feature Velcro straps. The torso is composed of FAVO (Honeycomb) 528 fabric developed exclusively for FORHONOR, which facilitates moisture absorption and quick evaporation. This material also offers UVA and UVB protection, as well as being anti-odor and anti-bacterial.

FORHONOR’s Tactical Operational Pant is made of 50/50 NyCo Ripstop fabric. It features 6 pockets: two front pockets, two hindquarters pockets, and two thigh side bellowing pockets. The knees are double reinforced, and accommodate removable kneepads. The waist features 5 belt loops with a 5cm opening, facilitating the use of a tactical belt.

Airstep Army, possibly under the same parent company as FORHONOR, has also produced a MultiCam Combat Boot. The boot features a MultiCam leather and 1000D cordura nylon upper, with a nylon aerated system lining, which enables internal cooling. The camouflaged sole is made of anti-slip rubber, with traction grip at the front and rear and a structure of ribs that prevent aquaplaning.

Blade Show 2015 – MultiCam Is Coming Back to Triple Aught Design
Friday, June 5th, 2015Two big surprises for me this Blade Show. First, Triple Aught Design is exhibiting for the first time. As I looked around their booth, out of the corner of my eye I spotted some MultCam which led to my second surprise.
For years, TAD fans have been asking for them to bring back MultiCam. They are doing it, in limited runs, in three pant styles. First up will be the Force 10s seen here followed by two as-yet-unnamed models. Keep your eyes peeled and your credit card ready and be prepared to mash that ‘F5’ button.
Darley Defense Days – MMI Outdoor’s Naga Hood
Thursday, June 4th, 2015In development for the past six years, MMI Outdoor’s Naga Hood is a Thermal and Visual Concealment Hood made from a laser cut mesh that has relief cuts to better resemble foliage in the visual spectrum. 
The two-sided Naga Hood is custom printed based on use requirements, they can apply self-developed or user-provided Camo patterns to either side. It is set up to be attached to an Ops-Core helmet and draped over the wearer’s torso but it can be used a variety of ways thanks to various attachment loops including their hidden MOLLE points. There are also points for attaching scrim or foliage directly to the Naga Hood which is 64″ long and 28″ wide.
In addition to the Naga Hood, MMI has also developed covers for HMMWVs, Quads and even Zodiac boats.
