2UNDR Performance First Layer Men’s Briefs Partners With Provengo Bringing the Finest Fit and Comfort to American Men in Service

Friday, May 26th, 2017

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.

Prometheus Design Werx – Rapide Field Short

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017

IMG_1976

Prometheus Design Werx introduces the Rapide Field Short 5050RS for the start of the 2017 Summer Season. These are the one wilderness grade, expedition capable, all around outdoor short that will tackle any land-based adventure.

IMG_1971

Ultra clean, purpose driven design and styling will confidently take you from trekking to the top of a mountain peak, discovering a mysterious desert ruin, to sharing your tales of adventure with new friends in a hidden tavern. Utterly functional design to industrial work wear grade construction and bespoke tailor level detailing makes these the one field short to rule them all.

These are a best in class, field and utility short for exploring the wilderness, use on expeditions, overlanding to warm weather camping and the workshop.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“We set out to make the finest, modern field and utility short for the discriminating and demanding adventurer. The one outdoor short the user would go back to again and again. The MILSPEC 5050 NYCO is not bulky or too heavy yet is robust and rugged enough to last season after season. The cut suits most body types and the leg hits right above the knee for ease of movement-bending-scrambling on the trail but long enough to use with any climbing and rap harness. Our new horseshoe gusset pattern gives even more range of movement while being active. Like our other CORE-Line apparel styles, the Rapide Field Short is an apex apparel style and uses best in class US production quality. The highest single cost component in the production of this short, is skilled US labor. There are 20 years of performance apparel design study and experience behind these shorts. Followers of our design ethos have been in some of the world’s most wild and dangerous places, and require apparel and goods that perform superbly and can be relied on. We believe we built the finest American field and utility short available today. Overbuilt, packed with functional design details and features, our core customers are men of capability, detail, confidence, and discriminating taste who understand what goes into our goods. The outcome of this design created a clean styling that is easily paired with a tee, flannel or technical fleece. To our amusement, we’ve even had numerous bespoke suit tailors comment how impressed they have been with our functional apparel styles. These shorts are intended to be the one all-rounder style that can be used over and over for the field, for adventure, for expeditions, chaotic travel to street and warm weather work wear.”

The PDW Rapide Field Short 5050RS is a part of their Built in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx. Available in Dark Arid Earth, Dark Leaf Green, and Machine Mineral Gray.

The PDW Rapide Field Short 5050RS will be available for purchase on Wednesday, May 24, 2017 at 12:00 Noon PDT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

Outdoor Research Releases Infiltrator Jacket & Pant

Friday, May 19th, 2017

Outdoor Research is the first company to fully commercialize GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology fabric into a garment. The Jacket and Pant are Hybrid-Mapped designs featuring a combination of lightweight GORE-TEX and the GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology fabric.

You can see the Coyote GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology panels in these photos which are a great demonstration of the Hybrid-Mapped design.

IMG_1936

Referred to as ‘Topo’ during development due to its similar look to a topographic map, GORE-TEX Fabric with Stretch Technology is a stretchy version of the popular GORE-TEX fabric. This stretchability means the wearer is more mobile even though the garment offers a closer fit which better facilitates the transfer of perspiration from inside to outside the garment.

Design Features:
Fully Adjustable
Advanced Combat Helmet Compatible Halo-Hood
YKK™ AquaGuard™ Vislon Zippers
Zip Hand Pockets
TorsoFlo® Venting
Internal Front Stormflap

Functional Details:
Pocket Placement Above Harness or Pack Belt
Hook/Loop Cuff Closures
Elastic Drawcord Hem

The Infiltrator is offered in three colors: MultiCam, Gray and Coyote. The GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology panels are color matched for the Gray and Coyote. However, due to the stretchable nature of the fabric, GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology is not available in a printed variant because the pattern is distorted when the fabric is stretched.

Both US Elite and Tactical Distributors are selling the garments and have inventory. In Europe, they’re available from Armamat.

SOF Select – Sneak Peek Of Patagonia’s New Military Active Recce System

Thursday, May 18th, 2017

Not only did Patagonia’s MARS* get a whole new name, it got a complete makeover as well. This new version of MARS was developed under their Lost Arrow Project, an initiative to create special-purpose clothing systems for extreme environments by leveraging Patagonia’s deep expertise in materials innovation, technical design and precision manufacturing.

IMG_1714

The developmental team was allowed a clean slate and developed the system from the ground up. Not only did they introduce new materials into this multigarment system, but they also introduced a new way that garments are worn together. For instance, the system is designed so that the user won’t wear anymore than three layers to get the desired effect. However, it’s important to umderstand that this is an active insulation system rather than a passive insulation system. This means that the wearer takes a more active role in pushing moisture out of the clothing.

IMG_1718

In my opinion, it goes much more to heart of the original intent of Protective Combat Uniform than what is currently available. However, it is designed for Recce work, of longer duration and more extreme environments than the DA tasks most units are currently engaged in.

IMG_1845

Here are a few more examples of garments in the line. These are prototypes and although some of you will fixate on their paintjob, they will be available in different solids and patterns. The garments range from FR Wool next-to-skin items, windshirts, insulating vest and jackets to waterproof breathable, fully seam taped overgarments. The designs are quite elegant, engineered really, to maximize mobility for the wearer and manufacturability for the producer.

I have to say, MARS is the most remarkable thing I have seen in military or outdoor clothing in many years. It isn’t just the design; it’s everything that goes into it. Everything you see here is Berry compliant, can be manufactured in short runs with short lead times, and is relatively low cost, especially considering those factors.

Look for additional, in-depth information on the entire MARS line, soon here on SSD.

*Released in the early 00s, MARS originally stood for Military Advanced Regulator System.
