OXCART, the company behind those awesome low-visibility jeans, has teamed up with Tu Lam of Ronin Tactics to produce the V2X Denim Jeans. This particular variant of the V2 Jeans features a slimmed down leg opening, along with Woodland camo on the inside waistband, in leu of the standard MultiCam. The V2X jeans are currently available on OXCART’s site.
At CANSEC, Logistik Unicorp unveiled the new dress uniform for CANSOF personnel.
Reminiscent of US WWII issue ‘Pinks and Greens’, the uniform honors CANSOF’s lineage back to the service with the joint Canada/US unit, the First Special Service Force. Like the famed Black Devils, unit members will wear bloused jump boots, as well as a more modern affectation, their distictive Tan beret.
UF PRO, maker of innovative tactical clothing, today said it expects to roll out its much-anticipated urban shade Frost Grey by the end of May.
The new colour is engineered to make a wearer standing, crouching, or laying prone in proximity to buildings and infrastructure harder to spot than if he or she were clad in traditional black.
Frost Grey initially will be available only for the company’s Striker XT Gen.2 battle dress uniforms, according to Armin Wagner, head of product development at UF PRO. Later in 2017, Frost Grey will become a colour option for other top-rated UF PRO combat uniform products, including:
• P-40 All-Terrain Pants
• Hunter FZ Jacket
• Delta OL 3.0 Cold Weather Jacket
• Delta AcE Sweater
Frost Grey BDUs exhibited at UF PRO’s IWA OutdoorClassics trade fair booth earlier this year in Nuremberg, Germany, generated considerable excitement among the approximately 49,000 attendees, particularly those who work in law enforcement, Wagner reported.
“Wearing Frost Grey won’t turn you invisible, but it will definitely make you much harder to spot in an urban jungle,” he said. “We designed Frost Grey to allow the wearer to hide better, vanish faster, and more effortlessly blend in with immediate surroundings.”
MINIMIZES VISUAL SIGNATURES
Wagner explained that the ability to blend in is especially important for tactical clothing wearers engaged in surveillance activities.
“The better you blend in, the safer you are as you go about observing and documenting,” he said. “Colour is a very important part of this. We believe that Frost Grey is the colour that works best if the goal is to make you indistinguishable from the surrounding environment and what you’re surrounded by is an urban environment.”
Frost Grey – lighter than other shades of grey currently on the market – was engineered to minimize the visual signatures a person produces amidst a backdrop of granite-faced or
concrete buildings, Wagner said. He added that smaller signatures reduce the possibility of detection by suspects or hostiles whether nearby or at a distance.
Grey generally has in recent years emerged as a dominant color among producers of tactical equipment and clothing, Wagner indicated.
“Makers and users alike have more and more been aligning with the idea dating back to World War II that grey can damp down better than black in low-light conditions,” he said. “It’s why we say grey is the new black. Our Frost Grey is solid proof that it is.”

I have been waiting for the Stalker Vest to be released and love the unconventional design. Built with FirstSpear’s proprietary ACM-WARM 600 Merino Wool, the Stalker Vest is adjustable and can be freely opened from the sides via hook/loop and secured, if desired, with a button.
It’s designed so the user can quickly open the sides and remove the vest over the head without removing outer layers or load bearing equipment. Stand up collar and hand warmer pockets are standard on this 100% Berry compliant wool based garment.
Available now in solid black and black / heather grey.
Armadillo offers clothing made from Merino Wool. They previewed a new Under Body Armor Combat Shirt which is made from a combination of Merino and TenCate’s Defender-M face fabric, intended for cold weather wear.

Outdoor Research showed their entire new environmental clothing system we previewed at SHOT Show but the one item I wanted to share again was the Obsidian Hooded Jacket.
Made from Tweave Durastretch with Superfabric treatment at the elbows, making it a durable, wind-resistant yet breathable softshell. Features include helmet compatible Halo hood, zip hand pockets, dynamic reach underarm panels and stretch panels at base of hood and under arms.
Provengo announced it will be officially carrying 2UNDR™ performance first layer men’s briefs. 2UNDR™ features the unique and patented Joey Pouch™ construction to support your equipment in comfort and style. The innovative design elevates and separates a man’s most valuable assets to deliver the perfect fit while preventing unwanted skin contact.
The No-Drip-Tip™ material lines the #joeypouch of these performance first layers. Through a process called capillary action, the outer layer draws moisture off of the surface of the skin and spreads it across a large area. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic inner layer repels moisture away from the skin.
The pouch also delivers improved airflow keeping you cool when involved in strenuous activity, on an assignment on tough terrain or simply going about a busy day. This combination of pulling and repelling mixed with premium breathable design accelerates evaporation keeping you dry, cool and comfortable. These briefs are offered by Provengo in three key models, Swingshift™, Dayshift™ and Powershift™. All feature the most advanced construction techniques and materials, and come in 3”, 6” and 9” leg lengths to accommodate all fit preferences you desire.
At the top of the market due to design, is the Powershift™. This style comes in 90% quick dry poly, that is moisture wicking and has 10% elastane for a compression like feel and fit.
The Swingshift ™ offers those same fit features but utilizes the finest quality lenzing modal fibers, high quality stitching, and a nylon non-roll waistband.
The DayShift™ comes in a blend of modal and cotton; threads that were made for each other. The result of this partnership is the familiar texture and breathability of cotton, combined with the silkiness of Modal. The day shift is perfect for the everyday hustle. Paradise, in your pants.
In making the announcement, Provengo President Chris Barbarino said, “We’re delighted to finally bring this fantastic product offering to provengo.com. By carrying 2UNDR, we will be able to offer the finest in fit and comfort in a men’s brief with exclusive discounted pricing to our military and veterans.”

“My daily training sessions and races are so much more enjoyable. 2UNDR™ briefs have prevented having to deal with the chaffing issues we all contend with during any heavy sweat activities…I have experimented with over 6 different men’s brief brands. I have found these and they are the only one I will use. I highly recommend 2UNDR™. They allow me to focus on my running goals!”
