FirstSpear Friday Focus – New Woobie Colors

Friday, February 2nd, 2018

This week’s Friday Focus offers a first look at the all new Woobie colors of Sand and Commando.

All new for 2018 FirstSpear has released two new colors in their USA Merino Wool Woobie! Built with the heaviest wool package ACM-WARM600 this garment is incredibly warm and surprisingly lightweight, now available in two sharp new colors Sand and Commando.

Features a lower cut in the tail for extra warmth and a stand-up collar with FS low profile neck zipper. Wrist overs and thumb holes are built with FS ACM-BASE100 and can be pushed or rolled out of the way if desired. Exceptional cold weather performance with all the natural benefits of merino wool built for comfort and style you could wear anywhere.

Generously cut for ACM base and mid weight layering. If you do plan to layer underneath the Woobie go with your standard shirt size. If you are more likely to just wear a t-shirt underneath consider stepping down one size for a closer fit.

SHOT Show 18 – Viktos

Tuesday, January 30th, 2018

Viktos is a new clothing brand which has one foot planted in the off road world and the other in shooting sports. It’s a great combination. I had seen it on Instagram for several months and my friend Dan Brokos has been wearing their stuff, but SHOT Show was my first chance to check it out in person. I like what I see. Although Viktos offers a full line, which even includes boot and gloves, I’m going to present you with two pants and one short.

Gunfighter Denim Jeans

This articulated fit is made from Cordura stretch denim and features a Cordura crotch, padded waistband with hidden pocket, oversize beltloops, Hipshoot magazine pockets, and Cashout pistol magazine coin pocket.

Khaktical Pants

The name is a portmanteau of Khaki and Tactical. They are made from a NYCO blend, with gussetted crotch, padded waistband with hidden pocket, oversize beltloops, Hipshoot magazine pockets, zippered thigh pockets, and integrated web belt. Offered in Greyman, Fieldcraft (pictured), Nightfall and Spartan.

EDC Shorts

Essentially, this is the short version of the Khaktical Pants. Same features.

SHOT Show 18 – Vapour SD Jacket from Sitka Gear

Monday, January 29th, 2018

Sitka Gear has introduced a new featherweight jacket called the Vapour SD, made from WL Gore’s SHAKEDRY fabric.

SHAKEDRY is a waterproof breathable fabric featuring a durable water repellant surface. It’s very thin so these garments are intended for training, rather than field use. I use a SHAKEDRY jacket from a different manufacturer as an emergency rain jacket in my daypack because it packs up into a ball the size of my fist. Water literally beads on the surface. When you take it off shake it and the water flies off. It’s dry, just like the name says.

While the jacket isn’t intended for heavy use as an outer garment, the jacket can be worn under other clothing and will still keep you dry.

Due to the material, the only color available is Black.

ORWM 17 – Saxx Introduces Tigerstripe

Sunday, January 28th, 2018

I am very pleased to announce that two of my favorite things have combined. I’ve been wearing Saxx underwear for about a year. They feature a mesh cradle, called the BallPark Pouch, for your boys. Additionally, they are made from moisture-wicking 95% viscose/5% spandex fabric. Those two factors combine to make them extremely comfortable.

How could they make them better? By offering them in a Tigerstripe camouflage print.

ALL SKILL NO LUCK team ups with Nate Murr to introduce the “California Combat Hoodie”

Friday, January 26th, 2018

We recently took note of the Oceanside, California based company ALL SKILL NO LUCK a few months back with the introduction of their popular flannel field and combat style shirts. The company has gained a lot of attention for its quality and designs, and are constantly working on bringing new trend setting garments to market. Nate Murr, known for his popular B5 Systems Gripstop, and other designs with Kinetic Development Group, seemed to be running parallel with his thought process.

ALL SKILL NO LUCK and Nate have teamed up to release the ultimate low profile Urban outwear garment, The California Combat Hoodie. The Hoodie currently features two spacious, velcro covered arm pockets to securely hold extra gear, and is made from a thick, durable synthetic blend. This pullover warming layer currently exists in prototype form, and has already been spotted around SHOT Show.

The hoodie captures the warmth and style of the classic “Baja Hoodie” worn by surfers, college students, etc. and has been a pillar of southwestern cultural attire for decades. The company plans on refining the design further, and releasing a production version in a few months. We are told that the final version may have a hidden Kangaroo pocket behind the hand warmer pocket in the front, a small center of chest “Admin” pocket high center of the chest in the Anorak style, and other small useful features incorporated throughout the garment.

Stay tuned for updates, and let them know what features you would like to see included in the comments below.
