A.G. WATCH CAP
Premium Grade, Machine Wash & Dry Merino Watch Cap Knitted in the USA

ag_watch_cap_1

For this Autumn, San Francisco based outdoor products company Prometheus Design Werx debuts their A.G. Watch Cap on Thursday, September 24, 2015. PDW introduces a true, fully shaped and knitted, performance merino watch cap, that is made locally in California. Unlike the other “knitted” beanies or watch caps styles on the market, the PDW A.G. Watch Cap is not just a simple “tube” stitched closed at one end, but uses a true full shaping construction method, which is knitted on state of the art computer controlled German knitting machines for a superior fit and uniformed appearance. The premium grade merino wool yarn used to knit this cap is sourced from a German-Italian based supplier, “itchless” for superior comfort, and machine wash & dry for easy care.

The A.G. Watch Cap will be an evergreen seasonal style for Prometheus Design Werx, and represents their lead in producing fully knitted wool and merino performance outdoor products in the USA.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“We have much respect and admiration for this American outdoor classic that has been worn by US Service Members, and all manner of outdoors persons alike. However, we wanted to update this understated staple and create a new high standard iteration for today’s user. Taking the basic iconic ribbed knit appearance of the original, we sourced some of the world’s finest performance merino wool yarns, determined a versatile 2+ season wearable weight, and applied a true shaped knitting process to produce our reboot of this classic. PDW is also proud to be working with local knitters, and producing these watch caps in California. While the original issue watch cap stands on its own, we wanted to offer our updated interpretation of it. We believe anyone who will field ours, will find it highly versatile, much more comfortable, easy to care for, and retains that timeless and classic appearance.”

The PDW A.G. Watch Cap will be available for purchase on Thursday, September 24, 2015 via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Wind Cheater

Friday, September 18th, 2015

WindCheater_CoyoteGroup_8688

For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at the long-awaited Wind Cheater. The Wind Cheater is a durable yet breathable lightweight shell made with Duro Ambush with DWR treatment, which provides protection from light precipitation. The Wind Cheater also compresses well for storage, and is flexible, with a longer tail that will keep the wearer’s lower back and seat covered.

The Wind Cheater sports a number of features that benefit the overall functionality of the shell. The articulated hood is sized to fit over a helmet, and includes rear bungee retention, which allows the wearer to adjust it to their optimal size. Both sleeves feature zippered bicep pockets, FS’ low-profile Velcro attachment panels, and adjustable cuffs. Pit zips on either side of the Wind Cheater offer improved airflow and ventilation at the user’s discretion. The Wind Cheater also has two large-sized zippered torso pockets.

If you’re looking for a replacement for your PCU Level 5 jacket, this is it.  I’ve had one for a couple of weeks and love it.  

Available in Black, Coyote, and Multicam in sizes SM – 2X.
