SHOT Show – XGO

Friday, January 23rd, 2015

XGO has quite a few new items but is like to share two with you.

The Montana Wool 1.0 is made from wool sheared in, you guessed it, Montana. It is 100% Merino wool meaning natural no melt / no drip, anti-microbial, and at 152 grams warm when wet. It is anatomically cut with clean seam for comfort. In addition to drop shoulders it has two extra inches in length to remain tucked in. Seen below is Treebark with Blaxk and Desert as and also coming late March, early April.

The Hybrid is meant for workouts and incorporates their Phase 1 fabric with the FR rib, vented fabric. Oddly enough, the FR fabric used in this garment is highly stretchable and breathable and both fabrics are highly durable. Available in Desert Sand.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – The Forager

Friday, January 23rd, 2015

Last night I got my hands on a prototype cap from FirstSpear called the Forager. If you know your history, a forage cap was so named because it was worn while a Cavalryman foraged for feed for his horse. Over time, it was the common name for a cap worn in lieu of full dress hats, as in a field cap. To me, it’s a modernized patrol cap.

FirstSpear has been kicking this thing around for about six months but with so many projects in the works, hasn’t gotten around to finalizing it. The second I saw it, I wanted one. It has a very innovative design with interesting lines that are square up front but assume the curve of the head as it goes back. There are several other cool features. For instance, the bill can be folded to stuff in a pocket. Additionally, it has a large pile section in front for patches and slots for eyepro storage; front or rear.

The one-size-fits-most design has a miniature hook adjustment for size with just a little of stretch built into the band. The interior is lined with mesh for comfort and there are vents located around the sides of the Forager.

Made from Softshell material like used in the Squadron Smock, I’ve seen models in Coyote and MultiCam but I hear there are also a few in Black out there.

There is no release date for the Forager since it’s still a concept design but I thought it would be really cool to show you something that is in the works. Hopefully, FirstSpear agrees.

Maker Monday – S&S Precision 757 Performance Denim

Monday, January 19th, 2015

The 757 Performance Denim is not only a great looking pair of jeans but a platform designed to comfortably carry concealed items.

Features include; hidden pockets inside the front pockets for mobile phone, pocket knife, etc. and hidden pockets above the rear pockets that can be used to carry magazines or even a full size handgun.

At the waistband, SSP created a system that uses the inside of the waistband as a mounting platform for the 757 Multi-Pistol Holster. The “Tenacious Tabs” are a simple injection molded locking tab stitched onto a thin Biothane strap. Once inserted into the “Inner Belt Retention” slots, the tabs hooking action keeps the strap secure.

The 757 Multi-Pistol Holster is symmetrically designed allowing it to be mounted left or right side. With the help of their retention strap and “Tenacious Tabs”, the 757 Holster mounts directly into the “Inner Belt Retention” slots.

This video gives you so, additional background.
