TYR Tactical dropped this surprise on me last night. I really like the narrower brim. The Huron™ Hot Weather Short Brim Boonie Hat is a new spin on a 40 year old design. They constructed the 2” brim and top of the hat with newly developed 3.6oz 100% ripstop nylon which gives it strength, comfort and reduces the overall weight. The circumference of the MultiCam® boonie is made with poly mesh which quickens dry time in both arid and humid climates. It also allows excess heat to vent, further decreasing dry time. They went with 1” elastic webbing around the outside of the Boonie instead of the tradition nylon webbing. This ensures a secure fit of any foliage which may be used in conjunction with the hat.
Additional Features:
• Wt. 3.00 oz.
• 2” Brim
• Construction with 3.6oz 100% ripstop nylon and 1” elastic webbing
• Draw string with loop lock adjustment
• Compact and ultra-lightweight

Referred to as Cross Functional Pants, these are what range pants should be. They offer a roomy, ergonomic cut with plenty of room to move. I own a pair and I really like them.
Made from a 50/50 NYCO blend, these are not ripstop nor do they offer any mechanical strength. However, they do integrate a gussetted crotch and articulated knees with a casual look. This gives you loads of room to move. Additionally, the pockets are quite handy, but I haven’t yet had an occasion to use the pocket media ports. They would probably be good for low viz ops.
FEATURES:
-Reinforced belt loops accommodate heavy duty belt and carried loads
-Embedded sweat band at waist mitigates friction
-Internal hand pockets have folding knife/tool storage and media ports to allow internal routing of communications cables
-External hand pockets have secure small item compartmentalization
-Two external seat pockets; two external drop in pockets for smartphones
-Two retention loops integrated at waistline
Offered in Greenstone and Terra which are not traditional LEAF colors but fit in well with other Arc’teryx items, as well as those from other manufacturers, for those seeking a low viz look.
Sizes are even 30-38″ with 32″ and 35″ inseams but note, these pants are baggy and I suggest you go down a size, even if carrying IWB.
For the 2016 Summer season, San Francisco based specialty outdoor products company Prometheus Design Werx debuts their EDC Short in a 4way stretch Guide Cloth. This is their uncompromising, high standard in a performance, technical, plain front, every day wear, utility field and street short. The EDC short is PDW’s flagship, noncargo style designed for today’s active EDC user in mind. A total of 11 pockets to stash and organize as little or as many EDC items in a streamlined, clean and tailored design. Pocket Clip DocksTM are found on the main hand pockets to accommodate the clips of folding knives and flashlights. Dual notwist custom made delta rings for keychain-carabiner clip points. Produced with industrial grade triple needle stitching on all major seams. Cut and sewn in California, USA.
The EDC Short will be an evergreen seasonal style for Prometheus Design Werx. They will be available in their proprietary Guide Cloth when they debut. Other technical fabrics to be introduced in following seasons.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“We wanted to create the short that we would wear every day on and off the grid. This is not a mass volume, compromised, lowest common denominator product. No corners were cut, no corporate budgeting committees to answer to, we stuck to the intelligent features we wanted, and secured the best in class materials to make this short. You will not find superfluous details or unnecessary affectations in outcome of our design process in crafting these shorts. Each feature and component serves a purpose for utility, versatility, movement, and comfort. The industrial grade construction was a bit overkill, but hell, our office is a metal shop. Our proprietary Guide Cloth is some of the most comfortable technical performance fabric we’ve ever developed, used and worn. We also made sure to produce these shorts locally in CA with skilled labor being paid a living wage. This is a pair of shorts that will be long wearing and worn frequently.”
The PDW EDC Short in Guide Cloth will be available for purchase in three colors on Thursday, June 30, 2016 at www.prometheusdesignwerx.com
Trzin, 23.06.2016. UF PRO introduced today the new generation of their Striker XT BDU.
As already announced at this year’s IWA exhibition in Nuremberg, UF PRO will be launching the new generation of their Striker XT Combat Shirt and Pants. Since its introduction in 2014, the first generation of the Striker XT BDU’s became one of the most popular UF PRO products and they promise that the new generation will push the standards even further.
The new Striker XT Combat Shirt offers the already proven air/pac inserts in the shoulder area for weight distribution, a materials mix of polyester, cotton and merino and an anatomic and flexible elbow protection system.
The Gen. 2 Shirt has a longer front zipper, and the polyester/ merino armpit area is additionally reinforced with a nylon mesh for protection against abrasion. Webbing on top of the lower sleeve pocket provides the flexibility for attaching the UF PRO Device Pouch, or any other MOLLE compatible pouch.
The Striker XT Combat Pants are known for their hybrid structure, which allows the user unhindered movement with a smart pocket configuration and comfortable knee protection.
The Gen.2 Pants have now even more stretch built in and offer a bigger and more easily accessible pocket configuration.
The 3-layer knee protection can be equipped with either a shock absorbing Flex Pad or with the new UF PRO Flex- Soft Pad, which offers extra cushioning while kneeling down. Both pads can be reinforced with a penetration resistant UF PRO Solid Pad.
The camouflage versions of the Striker XT pants now also have integrated camouflage Schoeller-dynamic stretch panels.
