This week, FirstSpear is giving you first shot at their new FS Squadron Smocks in MultiCam, featuring USA Merino Wool. These are available for a short time, in limited sizing, while supplies last. Updated with FS ACM-MID400 through the torso the Squadron Smock is in a league of its own. Fully loaded with features and pockets and a loose overall fit to accommodate additional layers.

High Angle Solutions – Armadillo Merino; No Melt – No Drip and So Comfortable
Thursday, February 15th, 2018Armadillo Merino’s latest next-to-skin gear
Armadillo Merino® focuses on enhancing the critical first layer and they believe that 100% merino wool worn next-to-skin is vital. We are seeing more and more brands blending merino wool with nylon in the market which may be wearable for some sports but nylon has no place in combat zones in your next-to-skin garments. Besides the fact that these synthetic base layers smell when you wear and they melt and drip at the surprising low temperature of 300F.
Your next to skin garment is your last line of defense against extreme heat and flames, so if your situation comes to this, then you require the best protection you can get. Why take the risk with a synthetic blend base layer by adding something that can melt and inflict life changing injuries.
Armadillo Merino® next-to-skin garments will not melt or drip. They have natural flame resistance up to 1100F, and will not melt or drip when exposed to heat. This is a natural and inherent FR barrier and has been very well documented. The garments don’t smell as they have natural anti-microbial properties. You can wear the Armadillo tops for days on end without odor. No more smelly base layer.

Crye Precision – G4 Combat Clothing
Thursday, February 15th, 2018This is the video Crye Precision played in the booth at SHOT Show to educate about the new G4 Combat Clothing.
This next generation of Combat Apparel, from the company who brought you the original Combat Uniform, features the exclusive stretch VTX™ Ripstop fabric, constructed with Invista’s T420 high-tenacity nylon fiber, allowing the uniform to be light yet strong. The integrated stretch allows for a slimmer cut with maximum mobility. Pockets are low profile and engineered to reduce bulk while still allowing room for all essential gear. Mesh venting is incorporated throughout the garments for maximum air-flow and breathability.
The G4 Combat Shirt, features a set-in shoulder pocket with internal expansion, set-in loop with a low profile pen pocket. Cuffs have VELCRO® tab closures, hem shape is longer in the back and the flatlocked seam construction at the side panels helps minimize bulk. Enhanced fit and function are the top priorities. Underarm panels are shaped for enhanced mobility, sleeves are darted for an ergonomic fit, and the internal elbow pad pocket is minimal and lightweight. Torso fabric for the MultiCam Combat Shirt is available in both solid colors and printed Multicam versions.
The G4 Combat Pant features multiple pass-throughs to the low-profile cargo pocket to secure charges. The adjustable padded waist features a low-profile die cut VELCRO® adjust tab, and is lined with moisture wicking material. Front thigh pockets are larger, mesh lined and have a secure zip closure. A dedicated knife holder is included with a reinforced opening.
Outdoor Research Adds Colors Options For Ferrosi Jacket
Wednesday, February 14th, 2018I am a big fan of Outdoor Research’s Ferrosi Hooded Jacket. It’s a great Spring & Fall soft shell, shedding wind and light rain.
While there are some great “tactical” color options, the Ferrosi is great for every day wear and the new colors offer low viz options for those who want performance as well as the ability to blend in with the crowd. On the other hand, they’ve got two Red options for times when you need high visibility like service as a Range Cadre or SAR.
The Ferrosi features a Hood, Zipperrd handwarmer pockets, Zippered chest pocket, and Thumb loops.
The Fabric is a 90D 86% nylon/14% spandex stretch woven ripstop body and hood combined with a 120D Cordura blend 91% nylon/9% spandex stretch woven shoulders and lower sleeves.
