FirstSpear Friday Focus: Wind Cheater

Friday, January 27th, 2023

Filling the mid-weight niche of our technical apparel line, the Wind Cheater has a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish and excellent wind shedding characteristics. It is quiet, flexible, extremely versatile and made in the USA.

The Wind Cheater features a large hood that can fit over helmets with no problem and is cut generously to aid in movement.

Low profile hook and loop in strategic locations provide ample attachment points for FirstSpear Cell Tags and IFF.

This jacket breathes like a T-Shirt and is designed to dry quickly. Standard cuff tabs and extra-large bicep pockets are found on each sleeve.

Large pit zips and spacious mesh front pockets allow for massive airflow to regulate heat when desired.

The Wind Cheater features bungee/barrel lock adjustments for the hood, collar and lengthened tail.

With a “true to fit” cut, your t-shirt size is your jacket size. If you wear a large shirt and don’t plan to layer heavily, go with a large Wind Cheater and you won’t be disappointed.

Visit FirstSpear to find the Wind Cheater and the rest of America’s premier tactical gear and equipment.

SHOT Show 23 – P R S x PRISM

Wednesday, January 18th, 2023

From the former founder of OXCART, comes PRISM, an apparel manufacturer that has the capability of providing for clients, both domestically and abroad.  PRISM is launching a new way of keeping hold of your closest assets with the PRISM Retention System (PRS).

With the goal of building a retention system that works with traditional “hook and loop,” PRISM sought a quick, effective and interchangeable way to manage gear, pouches, and kit, to conform to the ever-changing environment that is the operational space.  Comfortable, manageable and a never-ending possibility of movement around your waist, the PRS are set for your own personal fitting. 

From pants, to shorts, to yoga pants, or joggers, the capabilities are endless with what you carry on a daily basis.  In an area that is non-conforming, to running errands and out with the family, being able to place your needed necessities, on your person, and in a comfortable way, is what PRS is all about. 

In collaboration with Black Triangle, a series of sheaths & holsters are also being built that do not feature any metallic properties, making getting through certain detection areas rather easy.  RFID and other pouches capable of hiding signatures are also in the works by PRISM.
