Friday, February 13th, 2015Lots of First Lite Fusion Camo Options
Thursday, February 12th, 2015We told you to keep an eye out for First Lite’s Fusion camouflage at SHOT Show. Designed as a universal patter for hunting, Fusion has been applied to a wide variety of products which were on display at last month’s SHOT Show. These include chest rigs for hunting, packs, carbines, hard and softshell clothing and even a fat tired bike that we couldn’t photograph because it was surrounded by onlookers.
FUSION FEATURES:
-Large Shape Disruption (nature-based algorithms)
-Small-Medium Texture Disruption (nature-based algorithms)
-Disruptive Coloration (with a carefully curated pallet of nine colors)
-Focal and Depth Confusion (both focal and peripheral vision is greatly affected)
-Light and Dark Crackleture (further distorts the subjects overall body shape)

Caveat Emptor – Seconds/Counterfeit PenCott Fabric
Monday, February 9th, 2015Bottom Line Up Front
The only truly authentic, genuine, first-quality PenCott fabrics are the ones that that have been or are being sold by Hyde Definition, MMI Textiles or Tacticaltrim.
Hyde Definition recently issued an alert regarding both the sale of seconds quality as well as counterfeit fabrics.
For example, this garment sewn in a Crye Precision combat uniform style is made from seconds quality GreenZone fabric. These are ejected off-color and other types of ‘second-quality’ PenCott camouflage fabric which have turned up on eBay and other online wholesale outlets being sold as good quality material. Some customers have already been duped by the low prices on the per-yard fabric and/or by low shipping rates.
If its not genuine first-quality fabric, there could be one or more problems with it – such as; the colors being off, the colors will fade quickly, the fabric will shrink too much when its washed, etc.
Counterfeits on the other hand are originating in China, Indonesia and Ukraine. These are unauthorized reproductions of genuine fabrics. Aside from being thievery, these fabrics suffer from indistinct prints, incorrect colors, and low quality substrate fabrics. Once again, buy fabric from legitimate sources to ensure quality.
Hyde Definition is pursuing legal action against the counterfeiters, and has pledged to take action against any retailer who offers finished goods made from these counterfeit fabrics.

SHOT Show – Rivers West
Wednesday, January 28th, 2015As I walk through the endless aisles of SHOT Show, things will grab out at me. This time it was the Shadow Poncho by Rivers West.
This seam-sealed cape design is available in the uninsulated Shadow Poncho model as well as a Sherpa fleece lined version called the Treestand Shadow. Look for interior handwarmer pockets in both and arm slits on the Shadow Poncho.
Available in Widowmaker Shadow Camo only.
