Why Bodi.Me’s Continuous R&D Is Critical to Your Business

Wednesday, August 19th, 2026

Recent blog post as seen on Bodi.Me

Continuous innovation is the heart and engine of Bodi.Me.

Fashion fit technology cannot stand still because bodies, garments, workforce demographics, regulations and business systems are constantly evolving. Continuous research and development keeps sizing technology relevant, accurate, scalable and commercially valuable.

When a business partners with Bodi.Me, it does not simply adopt Size-Me as a sizing solution. It gains a long-term technology and operational partner—and access to a specialist digital team with deep knowledge of body data, garment construction, fit, size demand and apparel supply chains.

More than a sizing solution

Successful innovation is not about adding technology for its own sake. It is about identifying the right technical solution for a real operational problem.

Bodi.Me listens closely to its customers’ challenges, including:

Excess stock in some sizes and shortages in others

High volumes of size-related returns and exchanges

Expensive emergency uniform re-orders

Limited visibility of future size demand

Complex international uniform programmes

Technology that is difficult to integrate or use

?We translate these challenges into cost-effective technical tools that can be implemented within existing e-commerce, ordering and uniform-management workflows.

Our Size-Me fashion fit technology works with only a few simple, non-intrusive wearer inputs. It does not require photographs or body scans during standard use.

Behind that simple experience lies more than a decade of extensive research. Bodi.Me continuously analyses, validates and enriches its proprietary body-data resources, with a growing knowledge base now representing nearly one million body profiles.

These expanding datasets are used to continually retrain, test and refine our machine-learning models. In parallel, we constantly improve and personalise the wearer journey while advancing our proprietary algorithms to address the specific fit requirements of different garments—including particularly complex, gender-neutral or non-standard garment collections.

The objective is clear: make advanced technology simple for the wearer, easy for the customer to implement and capable of generating measurable value through better production planning, stock allocation and size distribution.

Alpha Industries Introduces 3-Color Desert Capsule

Tuesday, August 4th, 2026

Alpha Industries has long been known as a government contractor for flight jackets. In the recent past they’ve also introduced civilian clothing, or fashion items if you will, inspired by military designs.

Their latest go is a capsule featuring the 3-Color desert camouflage pattern adopted during Operation Desert Storm. Designed to replace the 6-Color variant developed in the late 60s, it is a simpler pattern that more accurately mimics the middle-eastern desert.

The capsule includes a T-Shirt, Hoodie, Chore Jacket, and Bomber Jacket.

Still Available, SOFFE Silkies

Sunday, August 2nd, 2026

I’ll show my age here and call them Silkies even though I know folks love to call them Ranger panties these days. Also, I don’t want to get caught with a “unsafe for work” tag if I title this entry with the p word.

At any rate, no matter what you call them, the iconic SOFFE nylon shorts are still available and offered in a variety of colors.

Silkies were unit issued PT gear in Army and Air Force units I was assigned to. Back in my day we wore them as underwear under our BDUs and would take our BDU pants off in the summer and just wear a Brown T-shirt and Black silkies with jungle boots or running shoes around the team room. If you had to get a uniform on quickly it was easy and this ensemble could be used if you ended up doing some impromptu PT during the day. You can even swim in them.

Voyage Coat

Wednesday, July 29th, 2026

I’ve seen folks do this at the airport, load up pockets with stuff so they don’t have to pay extra baggage fees. This guy made a coat dedicated to the notion.

It features 16 pockets and will hold up to 14 lbs of clothing accorisng to the manufacturer, but I bet a motivated SSD reader could double that, at least.

It even comes with its own duffel.

BEYOND Summit Sun Hoodie

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026

Above: Men’s Summit Sun Hoodie (first) and Women’s Summit Sun Hoodie (Second), designed to manage solar load and heat stress during sustained movement in hot, exposed operational environments.

Beyond Clothing’s Summit Sun Hoodie is a lightweight exposuremanagement layer designed for warmweather and alpine operations where prolonged sun exposure, sweat accumulation, and heat retention can directly impact operator endurance and effectiveness. The garment is engineered to remain onbody throughout movement cycles, reducing friction and simplifying kit management in hot conditions and reflects Beyond Clothing’s systemdriven design methodology, addressing heat and exposure as primary environmental threats rather than secondary concerns.

Core design attributes of the Summit Sun Hoodie include:

• Lightweight, breathable construction for high metabolic output

• Integrated hood for head and neck sun protection

• Lowprofile fit compatible with armor and loadbearing equipment

• Minimal bulk for pack integration and modular systems

Unlike insulating layers, the Summit Sun Hoodie focuses on controlling environmental inputs—specifically solar radiation and moisture—during extended dismounted activity.

HotWeather Exposure Control

The Summit Sun Hoodie is optimized for continuous movement under solar stress, where direct sun accelerates dehydration, fatigue, and cognitive decline. Breathable fabric allows internal heat and moisture vapor to escape while limiting radiant heat gain across exposed skin, The integrated hood provides consistent coverage for the head, neck, and ears, areas frequently exposed during movement and short halts.

The fabric remains comfortable, even when saturated with sweat, and dries quickly, supporting extended wear during multiday field activity. Its lowbulk profile allows it to be worn beneath plate carriers or chest rigs without creating pressure points or restricting mobility.

Alpine Operational Use

In alpine environments, UV intensity increases due to reduced atmospheric filtering makes solar exposure a primary limiter, even in cooler temperatures. During approach movement, ridgeline travel, and highelevation dismounted operations, managing sun exposure becomes critical.

The Summit Sun Hoodie supports:

• Sustained uphill movement under load

• Prolonged exposure above tree line

• Shortduration halts for navigation, planning, or observation

It provides coverage without trapping heat and integrates cleanly with lightweight wind layers or insulation during static periods.

Beyond Clothing’s System Approach

Within a warmweather clothing system, the Summit Sun Hoodie functions as the primary exposuremanagement layer, protecting the wearer from sun and mitigating sweat. It replaces heavier layers that increase thermal burden, allowing the wearer to reduce their reliance on sunscreen.

The piece is compatible with modular layering architectures and is a foundation layer that can be easily augmented with wind or weather protection layers as conditions evolve.

Core design attributes include:

• Lightweight, breathable construction for high metabolic output

• Integrated hood for head and neck sun protection

• Low-profile fit compatible with armor and loadbearing equipment

• Minimal bulk for pack integration and modular systems

Availability

The Summit Sun Hoodie is available directly from Beyond Clothing in both men’s and women’s fits. The garment is supported by government, unit, and organizational purchasing programs, including bulk and contract procurement.

New Marine Corps Uniform App

Sunday, July 19th, 2026

MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. —

U.S. Marine Corps Education Command has launched the official Marine Corps Uniform App, a free mobile application that provides Marines with convenient, on-the-go access to uniform and grooming guidance, June 29, 2026.

The app announced in MARADMIN 299/26, is developed as a companion to Marine Corps Order 1020.34,Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, providing a streamlined reference for Marines to quickly locate commonly used uniform and grooming guidance while away from the official publication.

The application organizes uniform regulations by officer and enlisted personnel, as well as by sex. It also includes basic grooming standards, allowing Marines to quickly reference appearance requirements while traveling or preparing for official duties.

“The Marine Corps Uniform App gives Marines immediate access to the guidance they use most often. It is designed to make existing standards more accessible while reinforcing the professionalism and attention to detail that define our Corps.”

– Brig Gen Matthew W. Tracy, commanding general, Education Command

The application is intended to supplement, not replace, MCO 1020.34. While it answers many of the most common questions regarding uniforms and grooming, Marines should continue to consult the order for comprehensive policy and detailed guidance.

By placing essential information in a mobile format, the Marine Corps is improving access to resources that help Marines maintain the highest standards of military appearance and discipline, regardless of location.

The Marine Corps Uniform App is available free of charge through the Apple App Store. An Android version is expected to be released during Department of War Fiscal Year 2027.

Users are encouraged to submit feedback through the Marine Corps Uniform Board organizational mailbox identified within the MARADMIN.
