Prometheus Design Werx- Odyssey Cargo Pant All Terrain Cloth

Tuesday, February 26th, 2019

Full Featured Technical Cargo Utility Pant Built in the USA

Prometheus Design Werx’s popular Odyssey Cargo Pant returns this Spring 2019 in their high performance, technical All Terrain Cloth. A full featured utility field pant adapted to desert – jungle environments, and warm-hot weather wear. 19 pockets to stash and organize as little or as many EDC items as needed.

Featuring their high tenacity, 4-way stretch, technical All Terrain Cloth with a C6 DWR finish, this performance textile is light weight, durable, submersible, quick-dry and breathable. You’ll find signature PDW details throughout, purpose driven design to support explorers and extended field use in multiple conditions. Time consuming industrial grade construction throughout. Built in the USA.

The Odyssey Cargo Pant ATC is an evergreen seasonal style for Prometheus Design Werx. They will be available in Transitional Field Green, Machine Mineral Gray and All Terrain Brown.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“For serious field use the cargo type pant still reigns supreme for utter functionality. Nothing can replace the convenience of a cargo pocket to quickly stash extra gear, sun hat, bandana, etc. while on the go. Our new All Terrain Cloth is the lightest technical material we’ve offered, possessing all the performance one would expect, while offering great durability for it’s weight class. It’s quick-dry, submersible, won’t weigh you down, breathes, moves with you with the 4-way stretch and protects the wearer from environmental hazards from bug bites to sun and wind burn. For the global adventurer and explorer, these wash up easily in any hotel sink – basecamp bucket, dries quickly and is ready to wear again. You’ll get 3+ season wear out of these and with a base-layer even push these into cooler weather conditions. Early pre-production examples of these have already made their way into the hot muggy regions of our world and we’re stoked to hear reports that they have performed excellently. Whether you’re participating in the 36 Hours of Uwharrie, following in (hopefully more successful) footsteps of Percy Fawcett, or excavating at the Neolithic site of Beidha, the Odyssey Cargo Pant in ATC literally had you covered.”

The USA Made PDW Odyssey Cargo Pant ATC will be available for $149.00 on Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 12:00 noon PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

TacHacker – Clothing Mods by WNDSN XPD

Wednesday, February 13th, 2019

WNDSN XPD recently shared this TacHack on Instagram. They do some cool stuff so we thought it was worth a share. It’s written from their perspective.

In the spirit of the old Wndsn Tumblr how-tos and as an exercise in #HOBOTACTICAL gear mods, here is a simple enhancement to your typical field jacket:

Install a rectangle of velcro (the loop side) ON THE INSIDE of the jacket, above the inner chest pocket; I used a 4 x 6″ piece in the example.

Now you have a versatile PLATFORM for any piece of gear that comes with a VELCRO (hook) back; of course, you can just as well wear your morale patches in this COVERT way, but we can make it even more useful.

I enjoy my smuggler’s jacket from @edsmanifesto and the many pockets and storage options it offers, including the dump pouch. I have found that sometimes though, I’d like to have that pouch higher up, and even when loaded, hidden within the jacket. A piece of hook velcro installed on the back of a drawstring DUMP POUCH, and we can use the newly cretaed platform to attach the dump pouch high up and have its contents out of sight, within the jacket. Compare the pictures. ENJOY!

Israeli Defense Force Abandons Camouflage Uniform Effort

Tuesday, February 12th, 2019

According to a report from Agilite Tactical, the Israeli Defense Force has abandoned their long anticipated efforts to adopt a national camouflage pattern. The main reason is an overwhelming concern by troops who have worn OD for over 70 years, that they would be mistaken for enemy soldiers who wear camouflage uniforms.

According to the report, “The IDF’s Technical and Logistics Directorate ran a pilot wherein hundreds of combat troops and officers tested the uniforms over the past 10 months. The uniforms also featured a new cut and fabric which were judged by testees to cause high levels of discomfort.”

At least for the meantime, the IDF will remain OD.
