Beyond – A9-U Mission Pants

Tuesday, August 19th, 2014

The A9-U is Beyond Clothing’s baseline for their Mission Pant Line. Think of it as their take on the issue Level 9. Made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop, the A9-U is designed to be simple, straightforward, and extremely durable, while still containing all the pockets and features necessary to get the job done, which include:

– Universal knee pad pockets
– Right and left main cargo pockets, hand pockets, small thigh, and side calf cargo pockets
– Bar button fly closure
– Back knee and ankle hem hook & loop adjustment system

Available in MultiCam and Woodland in sizes SM-2XL (long and short sizes available). These are Berry compliant, 100% stitched, right here in the States.

This is how you do it. On August 8th, the US Marine Corps Uniform Board released a survey seeking input about three proposed uniform changes for active duty and reserve Marines. The three changes are:

– Altering the color of enlisted rank insignia from black to brushed brass for Woodland MARPAT utilities.

– Establishing the Sam Browne belt as a mandatory accessory for officers wearing the blue dress A/B.

– Shifting the annual seasonal uniform synchronization date from Daylight Savings Time to the First Monday in April for Summer uniforms and the first Monday in October for Winter uniforms.

The survey, which is the second step in the Uniform Board process, is planned to run through August 29th. Active duty and reserve Marines may take the survey at www.manpower.usmc.mil/application by selecting the Marine Corps Uniform Board #214 survey.

OR Summer Market – Ex Officio

Thursday, August 14th, 2014

Time and again I come back to Ex Officio for performance clothing that looks good enough to wear to business meetings. Many have adopted travel vests or photographer’s vests or range vests over the years due to their ability to conceal a pistol beneath as well as load carrying capacity. At one point, they were civilian clothing load carriage. But that’s the problem. They look like you’re carrying something so they’ve been abandoned.

At OR, I saw the Men’s FlyQ Lite Vest. It is cut large enough that you can concealed carry beneath it and all of the load carriage options are on the inside. Additionally, it incorporates a drop tail, rear hem. The styling is pretty straight forward with two upper chest, Napoleon-style pockets and two handwarmer slash pockets. The real secret are the 11 interior pockets, sized for a wide variety of items. If you’re a guy who wants to wear a vest but doesn’t want to stand out, this may just the thing you’ve been looking for.

Coming in Spring 2015 in Lt Khaki, Walnut (shown) and Black.

OR Summer Market – Sierra Designs

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014

Last year Sierra Designs introduced the Pack Trench, which a long rain coat that offers a from the bottom zip flap that allows you to wear a pack waist belt and lay the front flap of the coat over the belt. It’s a great design and I’ve been wearing one when I need a longer trench-style coat for about 6 months.

At Summer Market, Sierra Designs introduced the next generation in lightweight rainwear.

It consists of a cagoule-style top with the same waist belt flap of the trench and a set of rain chaps. When paired with a longer jacket like this cagoule, chaps are a great idea. They eliminate the crotch area that rips and causes heat buildup. Made from 40D coated fabric, these are a great lightweight alternative to many rain suits.

Coming Spring 2015 from www.sierradesigns.com
