SHOT Show – Outdoor Research

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015

For some time now, Outdoor Research has been teasing me with news that they were going to bring some of their most popular clothing styles over to the military line with Coyote color. What they unveiled at SHOT Show were several models including this Foray Jacket in Coyote and Black.

(null)

Made from GORE-TEX PACLITE, a two layer laminate with a 50D poly shell. In addition to the flapped front zip it incorporates OR’s TorsoFlo hem-to-bicep zippers for venting. There are two handwarmer pockets (the left doubles as stuff sack) and a single Napoleon pocket on the chest.

(null)

OR also introduced the Drycomp Summit Sack in Coyote as well. I LOVE this bag and have been Jonesing for one in an earth tone for some time. It is made from a lightweight 70D nylon and incorporates a roll top closure as well as daisy chain and ice axe loop. At either side are mesh pockets and compression straps to help manage the load. Padded mesh shoulder straps make this a great summit pack or for use on recces.

SKD Exclusive – Mountain Hardwear Zerna Military Beanie in MultiCam

Tuesday, January 27th, 2015

I know it’s been out there awhile but it’s snowmageddon in the NorthEast so I thought I’d share.

It’s a one-size-fits-most beanie that will go great under a helmet in cold weather. Sure, it’s MultiCam but if the Smadge asks, just tell him its OCP.

ORWM – Beyond

Saturday, January 24th, 2015

Axios Mod 2 hits the streets this Fall. This should whet your appetite until more details emerge.

Think of the Stretch Alpha Sweater as a stretch puffy coat. It combines a 4-way woven Tweave shell with The height breathable Alpha insulation from Polartec along with Polartec lightweight Grid Power Dry lining.

Below is a component of Beyond’s upcoming Arctic subsystem. The Cache Arctic parka utilizes a Berry compliant synthetic down which is a hybrid PrimaLoft and natural down. The PrimaLoft helps draw moisture away from the down in order to keep you warm.
