Blast From The Past – The Mojave Travel Shirt from Beyond Clothing

Saturday, March 14th, 2026

We are reach by way back into the SSD archives for this one. In May of 2010 we first wrote about a “Travel Shirt” whipped up by Beyond Clothing founder Scott Jones in 2009.

This “Travel Shirt” was originally a one-off that he made for himself. It is a waist length design with mandarin collar, chest and sleeve pockets made from a lightweight material. It almost has a Star Wars vibe.

I harangued him about it and eventually he added it to the line up at Beyond. Now you have to remember, at that time, everything was made to order, including their custom size “Big &Tall” version of the USSOCOM Protective Combat Uniform.

When Beyond sold to 5.11 Tactical not long after, the Mojave Travel Shirt as it became known was dropped from the line as they retooled their offerings. Unfortunately, I never bought one.

I wonder if the patterns are still around and Beyond could reintroduce this cool adventure wear jacket. It would be great in a NEXTEC fabric as a 3-season Softshell.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: HOODLUM HOODIE – ACM MID 400

Friday, March 13th, 2026

The FirstSpear HOODLUM HOODIE™ – ACM™ MID 400 is built from ACM-MID 400, a dual-layer knit designed for performance in demanding environments. The interior layer is 100% polyester and pulls moisture away from the skin, while the exterior layer is 100% merino wool that absorbs and disperses that moisture. This system helps regulate temperature and keep you dry during movement or extended wear. The 7.7 oz fabric offers a balance of warmth, breathability, and durability without adding unnecessary bulk.

Designed for operational use, the HOODLUM HOODIE™ – ACM™ MID 400 provides a comfortable, flexible fit with enough stretch to move freely during activity. A full-length front zipper allows for quick ventilation and easy layering. The form-fitting hood adds protection from the elements while maintaining a streamlined profile.

Two zippered front handwarmer pockets provide secure storage and added warmth when needed. Thumbholes integrated into the cuffs help keep sleeves in place and offer additional coverage in cold conditions.

The Hoodlum Hoodie can be worn standalone or integrated into a larger clothing system. Built for reliability in the field, it delivers practical performance with a low-profile design. Made in the USA, the HOODLUM HOODIE™ – ACM™ MID 400 reflects FirstSpear’s commitment to mission-focused gear.

Enforce Tac 26 – Tactical Wolves

Thursday, February 26th, 2026

I’ve mentioned Tactical Wolves’ tigerstripe combat uniform in the past and when I spoke with their team they wanted me to pass on to my readers that the current stock is why they have left and if you want to get a set, or the cool jacket I have, now is the time to order as some sizes are already out of stock.

The line was developed in conjunction with Tu Lam and is priced very well, with high quality, often made from American fabrics.

MultiCam and MultiCam Black will be back in stock in Q2 of this year.

Enforce Tac 26 – Wild Clothing

Thursday, February 26th, 2026

We first introduced you to Wild Clothing during last fall’s Milipol show in Paris. This Finnish company translates their high north lifestyle into very focused clothing designs. This is a liner for their snow mobile suits.

Made from synthetic fleece it features nylon reinforcements at high wear areas and ample pockets to keep water bottles and other necessities warm and next to the body. It also incorporates a drop seat for those calls of nature.

Enforce Tac 26 – Tilak 2nd Generation Raptor

Tuesday, February 24th, 2026

Tilak has updated their Raptor hardshell with a second generation design. It’s a very sleek design.

Here’s a shot of the rear of the Raptor. The hem drawstring only tightens the front of the hem, leaving the rear to move freely.

One of the most glaring differences is how thy deal with pocket gussets. The original Raptor had external gussets but those could catch on things. Now gussets are internal.

Additionally, both chest pockets and sleeve pockets integrate a small drain at the bottom.

Here you can see sleeve pocket configuration with the drain and zipper which came from the operator jacket. It’s much easier to manipulate while wearing.

Another excellent detail is the easy to use drawstrings for the hood.

Finally, the Raptor 2nd Generation is made from GORE-TEX PRO Fabric with full seam taping.

UF PRO Presents Current and Upcoming Tactical Clothing Developments at SHOT Show 2026

Monday, February 9th, 2026

KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (05.02.2025)

At SHOT Show 2026, UF PRO, part of the Mehler Systems Group and a leader in premium tactical clothing, presented its latest developments across the tactical clothing portfolio. The event offered visitors insight into both newly released products and upcoming additions planned for 2026.

The showcase included several key autumn releases, among them the Hunter FZ Gen.3 Tactical Softshell Jacket, the Delta ML Gen.3 Tactical Winter Jacket, and the P-40 All-Terrain Gen.3 Tactical Pants. The Hunter FZ Gen.3 Tactical Softshell Jacket is designed as a versatile softshell layer for dynamic use in variable weather, balancing wind resistance, breathability, and freedom of movement. The Delta ML Gen.3 Tactical Winter Jacket addresses cold-weather operations, combining thermal insulation with a design that supports mobility and efficient layering. The P-40 All-Terrain Gen.3 Tactical Pants are built for use across mixed terrain, focusing on durability in high-wear areas, unrestricted movement, and comfort during prolonged wear. Together, these products reflect UF PRO’s continued focus on functional design, durability, and consistent performance across changing operational conditions.

For the first time in the U.S., UF PRO also presented the Striker TT BDU in Navy Blue, alongside a broader selection of combat uniforms, weather-protection layers, and everyday tactical clothing.

In addition to current releases, UF PRO provided an early look at upcoming developments scheduled for 2026. Selected products will become available in Woodland / M81 camouflage, expanding options for units operating in forested terrain. Visitors were also introduced to a new generation of classic tactical pants, developed with an emphasis on everyday reliability, unrestricted mobility, and comfort across a wide temperature range, as well as a new short-sleeve tactical shirt designed for warm-weather patrols, training, and everyday base activities.

SHOT Show 2026 once again provided an important opportunity for direct exchange with military, law enforcement, and industry professionals in the U.S., while strengthening connections with the local professional community.
