    Sneak Peek – Something New from Velocity Systems?

    Wednesday, August 19th, 2015

    A cool, beach influenced prototype from Velocity Systems was spotted at this week’s Connecticut SWAT Challenge. You’re definitely not going to be the guy, trying not to look like the guy, in this shirt.  Totally conceptual so far, the Point Break Pullover, is what happens when a tactical company lets a “surf first” employee run with an idea. But, if there’s enough interest, it might just make it from sample room to show room.  

      
    Made from a 5 oz 98/2 nylon spandex blend. DWR. Uber stretchy, water, rain, debris repellent. Single large chest pocket, Canadian buttons and great style.

    Mysterioso- Hydrawear

    Thursday, August 13th, 2015

    I kept passing by this booth at outdoor retailer and the manikin out front had a Green colored compression shirt out front with what looked to be integrated hydration. I finally had enough a breather to stop in and check it out. This model is designed for watersports although their others are for cycling.

    Hydrawear by Mysterioso is pretty interesting. They aren’t the first people to do it but I like their combination of materials (bamboo/poly) and their choice of Source hydration reservoirs.  There are some cool applications here.  

    Offered in Mens and Women’s sizing S-XXL in a variety of colors.

    The pedigree of the Fieldcraft Cap by Outdoor Research is obvious to the tactical crowd, but it’s a new addition to their commercial line.

This is the First Spear Windcheater with sleeve pockets removed and the awesome HPG “Cargo Napolean / Handwarmer” pocket setup added.
