TLS vendor Unifire displayed their new ShieldX line at both Modern Day Marine and AUSA. ShieldX is powered by X-STATIC which is a silver based antimicrobial to inhibit odor causing bacteria. The fabric itself is is moisture wicking and fast drying with a soft hand for comfort. Offered in Men’s and Women’s styles, the underlayers are FR (ASTM F1506), Arc Rated and Anti-Static (EN1149-5).
The line includes Underlayers, Socks and Linen. The linen would be great for deployments to austere environments where you can’t get things washed as often as you’d like.
In the case of the socks, there are cotton, Coolmax, Merino and FR blends in several colors.
ShieldXgear is available for unit and agency orders though Unifire.
As the weather turns colder and wetter you really do need to get the very best performance from your clothing system, and the UF PRO® Delta Eagle Jacket is a bomber-tough, all – purpose soft shell jacket for almost all weather conditions and low temperatures.
The UF PRO® team have revisited their original Delta Eagle and brought things fully up to date using the most advanced fabrics, material and technology currently available.
The latest iteration of the Delta Eagle jacket is the perfect choice for cooler and damp environments due to its special material construction. The jacket is made out of a high quality breathable ePTFE based softshell material, which is lined on the inside with an insulating microfleece.
The face fabric of the jacket is highly windproof and water-repellent, which means it will protect you against wind-chill and even light drizzle; in truly horrendous wet weather conditions it can even be worn as an insulator under one of their Monsoon waterproof rain jackets.
The Delta Eagle jacket is equipped with a new generation of the UF PRO® Hood/Harness® system. The system comfortably connects your head with the hood without bringing it directly in contact with the laminate.
This also means the hood follows all your neck movements and your vision is never compromised, and since the laminate isn’t directly in contact with your head, the air flow and your ability to hear aren’t limited.
The hood is made out of a very light weight, waterproof 3 layer micro-grid laminate which makes it a perfect emergency hood when caught outdoors in rainy weather. And when you don’t need it, the hood can easily be stowed away into the collar.
The jacket offers 8 pockets in total so it is easy to store most of your “everyday carry” gear in it. All pockets are highly functional and easy accessible; the big chest pockets can be accessed from two sides. So if for instance you only have your right hand free, you can still easily access the left chest pocket.
The 4 arm pockets are perfect for stowing away your smaller stuff, which you may need to access quickly. They are also mesh lined, so in case it gets too hot you can open them and use them for additional mechanical venting, and the larger two inner pockets can be used to store your valuable stuff like your wallet, or bulkier gear, like gloves.
Finally, for better wear comfort while carrying a backpack and in order to avoid so called “thermal bridges“ between your skin and the outside material, the Delta Eagle has integrated air/pac® inserts in the shoulder area.
If you’re updating your clothing system this year then the Delta Eagle Gen.2 softshell jacket should be high on the list of your priorities.

Magpul also released this companion shirt, the Fine Cotton Dead Che Day T-Shirt. Unfortunately, the shirt design “suffered from a lack of “Intelligance” in “Conjuction” with a total disregard for spell check.” As a result, it’s being offered at a special discounted price, while supplies last. The shirt is made of 100% ring spun cotton, available in sizes SM-3XL.
