Outdoor Research has just announced their new Bavarian Lederhosen. Made from 24-ounce, 1/8″ thick leather panel, the Lederhosen features Sweat Trap Technology, to restrict breathability and keep sweat against the body. The bi-button codpiece keeps the Lederhosen tight against the crotch, and OR’s proprietary Beer Shield Technology ensures that any spilled beer beads up on the fabric.
Available starting Spring 2015.

BELLINGHAM, Washington – Mustang Survival® announced today that it has successfully configured a Berry Compliant version of its popular MSF300 Constant Wear Aviation Dry Suit System. The suit has been in service for more than a decade, supporting over-water helicopter missions with the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Customs and Border Protection among others.
The MSF300 is a two-layer dry suit that combines the performance of a three-layer system into two layers to offer greater mobility with reduced bulk and lower thermal burden.
The outer shell uses a blended GORE-TEX®/NOMEX® fabric that is waterproof, breathable, flame-retardant and anti-static. High-wear areas are strategically reinforced to enhance the suit’s durability and prevent abrasion damage that could compromise the suit’s integrity. The breathable thermal liner provides both insulation and emergency flotation and features Mustang Survival’s aerated closed-cell foam, quilted with a wicking fabric that pulls excess moisture away from the body. The two layers combine to provide a thermal Clo value of 0.58.
“Achieving Berry Amendment compliance without impacting form, fit or function was a challenging process, and one we weren’t willing to compromise on,” said Bryan Price, Director Government Business Development of Mustang Survival. “Wearers appreciate the suit’s patented adjustable neck seal that can be worn loose to provide comfort out of the water and quickly drawn tight to keep the water out, as well as the ability to self-don, the convenience of the removable thermal liner and the comfort of the universally sized dry socks. Berry compliance now makes this feature set more accessible to the most demanding military aviators.”
This Berry Compliant version of the suit – proudly manufactured in the U.S.A. with U.S.A.-sourced materials and components – can be ordered by model number MSF300 version GB.

Almost three years to the day after we first wrote about this subject, the Royal Navy has announced the fielding of their new Royal Navy Personal Clothing System bersion of the No 4 Action Working Dress which has remained essentially unchanged since the Second World War. The first command to receive this update is the HMS Lancaster.
The uniform is dark blue and made from FR materials. While it is certainly a Navy working uniform, its shares some features with the PCS uniform worn by the Royal British Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force. For instance, rank is now worn on the chest. However, the Navy Ensign is proudly displayed on the left shoulder and trade badge on the right.
This Royal Navy graphic gives you a look at the differnces between the old and new uniforms and layers that make up the Royal Navy Personal Clothing System which include undergarments, shirt and trousers, fleece and shell.
Robo-Apparel is a clothing company that offers “Combat-Inspired Casual Clothing Design, for Combat-Inspired Lifestyles.” The above shirt is their “Syrup Viking” design, a t-shirt printed with a CADPAT plate carrier. They also offer a variant in M90 camouflage dubbed, appropriately enough, “The Swede”.
