New A-TACS AU Camo Insulated Jackets From Snugpak

Tuesday, January 7th, 2014

Snugpak is now offering three new insulated jackets in ATACS AU: the SJ3, Ebony, and Vapour. These jackets are made in the UK and are available from authorized Snugpak dealers.

SJ3 and Ebony

SJ3
The SJ3 is an all-weather outer shell. It features a Paratex Micro outer and Paratex Light inner to keep moisture away from the skin. The Softie Premier filling is designed to reflect and trap heat. The design of the SJ3 is tailored to fit the contours of the body. The main zip is water resistant, and a high neck design keeps out the draft.

Ebony
The Ebony is temperature rated to -10C, extreme: -15C. It’s lightweight, windproof, breathable, and water-repellant. Softie deep polyester insulation reflects and traps heat. The Ebony also comes with a TS1 (Thermal Suede) collar and stuff sack for travel.

Vapour

Vapour
The Vapour is a lightweight, water-resistant, and breathable soft shell. It features a Paratex micro outer with TS1, which traps a layer of air inside the membrane of the jacket. Also features an integrated stow-away hood.

Blue Force Gear Releases The Greatest Generation Cap

Tuesday, December 17th, 2013

Blue Force Gear has really hit a home run with this new cap. I say new because it’s new to them but the styling is All American. When I was a little kid in the early 70s, my uncles played baseball. They were fanatics about it and had woolen baseball caps which I would “borrow”, and I think they too had gotten them as hand-me-downs. As soon as I saw my first Greatest Generation Cap from BFG I was immediately taken back to those days. This a real American icon, worn by men we could all look up to.

Blue Force Gear gives us a little history of these babies…

Seventy years ago, on the factory floor and the battlefield, America’s greatest generation was hard at work making the world safe for democracy. In their precious down time they played baseball, often wearing ball caps customized with their unit and company logos. Blue Force Gear is honoring that tradition by bringing back their cap. This is no regular store bought cap – just like the 1940’s originals, Blue Force Gear’s Greatest Generation Cap is made from 12oz wool broadcloth with horse hair canvas front stiffening and a leather head band adorned with the new BFG logo in grey felt on the front.

Made in America!

You might note that these have a flat bill. That’s how they used to come. The wearer rolled the bill so that it would take a distinctive shape and shield the eyes from the sun.

Beyond Announces M9 Medic Pant

Tuesday, December 17th, 2013

click to view .pdf

At SOMA, Beyond announced the new M9 Medic Pant. The pant is made from milspec 50/50 NyCo Ripstop and features a hook and loop waistband, open hand pockets with mesh lining, universal kneepad pockets, back of knee hook and loop tightening system, and hook and loop ankle closure. However, the primary feature of the M9 Medic Pant is the oversized left and right front facing thigh cargo pockets, designed specifically to fit an IFAK. This placement is optimal because medics often function in a kneeling position when dealing with patients.

Interestingly, this pant was developed for use with the Lo Visibility SONS Trauma Kit from Phokus Research Group, which was a customer-driven request. And while these pants are cool, it really demonstrates the flexibility of Beyond in creating user-specific solutions. I overheard several conversations with potential customers at SOMA and this modification really got the creative juices flowing for those who saw it. Beyond is a very dynamic company and I recommend you talk to them if you are looking for a custom clothing solution.
