Ranger Green Anorak Sighting!
Tuesday, June 30th, 2015Stuff I Like – Under Armour’s Fish Hunter Cargo Shorts
Tuesday, June 30th, 2015I’m a big fan of Tigerstripe so when I found these at a Sportsman’s Warehouse during a recent trip to Bozeman, I picked them up.
Made from a DWR treated, 30+ UFP, Salt and Chlorine resistant fabric, the shorts are very comfortable. In fact, I’m wearing them right now. There’s a little bit of mechanical stretch. They are board short length and feature cargo pockets on either thigh with snap closures as well as mesh-lined front slash pockets and a single rear pocket. Very comfy.
UF PRO – New Striker HT Combat Pants
Friday, June 26th, 2015
Ljubljana, 26.06.2015. UF PRO® announces the new Striker HT Pants- the ultimate combat pants for hot environments.
THE NEW BENCHMARK FROM NOW ON.
With a special air flow system, state of the art knee protection, high-class fabric and component combinations and lots of other unique features, the new Striker HT Combat Pants have yet again set the benchmark for modern high-performance tactical legwear.
THE STRIKER HT AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM.
The Striker HT Combat Pants are equipped with a new and very “cool” air flow system. Mesh lined openings in the groin area, together with opening knee protector pockets generate a cooling air flow in your upper leg and groin area with every step you take.
THE UF PRO® 3-LAYER KNEE PROTECTION SYSTEM.
The Striker HT combat pants can be upgraded with two different knee pads:
The UF PRO® Flex- Pads offer reliable and comfortable protection against impacts and additional cushioning while kneeling.
The UF PRO® Solid- Pads offer protection against penetration of sharp objects.
Both layers are protected with a CORDURA® face fabric which provides extreme abrasion resistance.
UF PRO® HYBRID/DESIGN.
Three different fabric technologies are used in the Striker HT Pants:
The breathable and durable Schoeller®-dynamic stretch material in the back area makes sure the pants follow all your moves. For durability and abrasion resistance the knee and instep area are reinforced with CORDURA® fabric. A lightweight Polyester/Cotton or Nylon/Cotton fabric for the camouflage versions offers excellent breathability and wear comfort.
POCKET CONFIGURATION.
The Striker HT Combat Pants are equipped with a total of 14 pockets, and not only the number is impressive but their functionality, storage capacity and accessibility make this pocket configuration completely unique.
CONNECTING YOUR GEAR.
The Striker HT Pants can be easily and efficiently connected to your other tactical gear. For instance you can quickly connect your duty belt with double belt loops, your battle belt with extension straps and your boots with the boot loop.
COLOUR AVAILABILITY:
The UF PRO® Striker HT Combat Pants come in Coyote-Brown, PenCott™ Badlands and MultiCam®.

Triple Aught Design – Primer Series Teaser
Wednesday, June 24th, 2015We got a chance to tell you a little early about Triple Aught Design’s new Primer Series we previewed during The Blade Show
Tease
Get the Job Done
Details
Our Primer Series functions with that same thought in mind : get the job done. Intended to be the first thing you put on and the last thing you take off, these are the staples you rely on through the most demanding situations. Evolved from the traditional waffle knit that has been used in base layers for centuries, our Made in USA Primer is ready to go to work.
Features
Comfort in Motion: Low-profile seams minimize chafing during active use and provide long wearing comfort against your skin. Double layered shoulder caps boost durability and cushion rifle slings or ruck straps.
Balanced Performance: In the heat, long sleeves help minimize sun dangers while the breathable waffle knit keeps you cool as you advance on your mission. In the cold, wool effortlessly wicks away dampness from your skin to keep you dry and avoid cold chills. Naturally odor resistant, you can hit the ground running for days without worrying about laundry.
Henley Design
The henley is an established classic, relied upon for decades by strong, morally unshakable men who lived and thrived in times of expansion and growth fueled only by relentless grit and determination. These men were willing to stand tall when times were tough, regardless of the work that was needed to be done. Our Primer Henley was built to satisfy these needs and capture the driven, unbreakable spirit of industrious men through the ages in an accessible everyday essential. Our waffle material is a moisture wicking antimicrobial wool blended with durable and easy-to-care-for polyester, that doesn’t so much rest on your skin as it does hover, helping you endure no matter how difficult the work may be.
The Primer Series Henleys and Crews are planned to launch this Friday. They will go FAST. To receive an update when they launch, you can sign up for the TAD newsletter here: tripleaughtdesign.com/newsletter
Beyond Introduces the Element Pant
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2015The new Element Pant from Beyond is a component of their Element Suite which serves as their Maritime Uniform, consisting of this pant, a shirt, and a half zip pullover combat-style shirt.
Designed to be highly adaptable, The Element System features lightweight, hydrophobic fabrics that offer unparalleled moisture management and breathability. Mesh pocket openings through the system allow for fast and quiet pocket draining when working in or around water. The Element System is the most reliable option when facing dynamic environmental Conditions.
The A5 Element Pant is designed for active use in environments ranging from dry arid to wet temperate. Built from quick-drying Tweave Durastretch with DWR, this pant is durable, flexible, wind and water resistant. The Element pant is also equipped with XGP Superfabric reinforced kneepad pockets, mesh pocket vents that drain faster and quieter than traditional eyelet vents, and a DWR coating to shed water. The A5 Element pant is optimized for moving through changing environmental conditions. Its quick dry times and Water-Resistant construction make the A5 Element Pant ideal for navigating maritime environments.
DETAILS:
– 3-point suspender loops
– Zippered thigh vents
– Zippered front hand pockets
– Adjustable hook and loop center front waistband and side waist adjustments
– Front thigh pockets with vertical kneepad adjuster
– Reinforced universal knee pad pockets with back knee hook and loop adjustment
– Adjustable hem
– Mesh Pocket venting to allow for quiet draining.
MATERIALS:
– Tweave Durastretch with DWR
– XGP Superfabric on stretch Cordura
– Brushed Mesh Pockets
The Superfabric reinforced Kneepads were made by bonding XGP Superfabric to a 2-way stretch cordura which is much more flexible and breathable than standard Cordura. Due to the structure of Superfabric, high-abrasion plates affixed to any stretch or non-stretch fabrics in a dot-pattern work extremely well to protect the garment and the wearer from abrasion, yet the substrate material can still breathe and move in a normal way.
BENEFITS:
– Durable
– Water-Resistant
– Wind-Resistant
– Stretch Construction
– Quick Drying
WEIGHT (SIZE LARGE):
25 oz (709 g)

Velocity Systems – Range Shorts
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2015I don’t know how the weather is where you are, but here in the Commonwealth of Virginia it is hot, as in over 100 degrees hot. Over the weekend I was pulling some shorts out of the storage bin and it dawned on me that I should remind you about Velocity Systems’ Range Shorts. It’s not often that I wear shorts to the range, but when I do, it’s a pair of these. But generally, I like them for daily wear. They are a great utility short that I am happy to recommend.
Just as the name implies, these are Range Shorts. The features were all specified by the military customer for use as a training short or wear around the FOB while deployed. Made from the same ripstop 50/50 NYCO found in the ACU, the Range Shorts incorporate slanted openings on the front patch pockets to allow you to comfortably wear a knife or light with clip. The Side Pockets are sized to hold 5.56 or Pistol Magazines. Additionally, they incorporate Dual External Dump Pockets with Velcro tab closures. The deep rear pockets have slanted openings for easy access to the contents. The aren’t many Belt Loops and they are laid out well, allowing for use of a gun belt and to accommodate holster placememt. Finally, they feature a slotted button closure as well as a Waist Belt Adjustment for use without a belt, in case you want to wear a war belt to the range.
One of the things that has come up with these shorts is the length. I grew up in the 70s & 80s so I prefer my shorts ti be just that, short. My kids on the other hand won’t wear anything that comes above their knee. As you can see, the Velocity Range Shorts fall just above the knee and the legs are wide enough to give you plenty of mobility without looking billowy but they aren’t so short as to make you look like Magnum PI. The slit at the hem also works to give you some extra room to move around.
Available in Tan or MultiCam, sizes 30-38. They run true to size.
