IWA – UR Tactical Showcases New PenCott-MetroPolis Camouflage Pattern At IWA

Friday, March 3rd, 2017

STE_9789

Hong Kong based tactical gear and clothing one-stop-shop UR Tactical will among the first global retailers to showcase the new MetroPolis® camouflage pattern from Hyde Definition®.

The MetroPolis® pattern was created by Dom Hyde based on the well-proven and widely-used PenCott® pattern. MetroPolis® is specifically optimized for industrial / built-up environments, and low-light / night operations.

The unique color palette of MetroPolis® was derived from an extensive analysis of scientific research by NATO and the US military forces. Hyde also took direct input from elite military and police special operations professionals with recent operational experience in built-up areas.

MetroPolis® incorporates all of the features that make the PenCott® patterns the most advanced and effective concealment solutions on the market today, and joins the existing family of GreenZone®, BadLands®, SnowDrift®, and SandStorm®.

UR Tactical will be featuring samples of their OPS Series “Stealth Warrior Pants” and “Integrated Battle Shirt 2.0” in the MetroPolis® camouflage pattern at their IWA booth – Hall 9, stand #133.

    Slangvel Is Still The Source For Custom M43 Caps

    Sunday, February 26th, 2017

    Slangvel is a custom hat maker who specializes in modern-era military headwear. He is also a disabled Veteran. Somehow he comes up with some great camouflage fabrics and every once in a while he catches my eye with something like this French Lizard Pattern. One of his specialties is the M43-style cap, which has been adopted at one time or another by several armies. In fact, they are still used by the Germans.

    In addition to M43s, Slangvel also makes Boonies, Rhodesian-style kepis, Bigeards, Helmet Covers and the occasional Smock. To keep track of what he has for sale, follow him on Facebook or eBay.
