First Ascent Mountain OPs Jacket

Thursday, December 13th, 2012

The Mountain OPs Jacket from Eddie Bauer’s First Ascent line caught my eye during a recent Christmas shopping excursion to the local mall. It’s as if someone had taken a mechanic’s garage jacket and modernized it…really modernized it.

With a 500D Cordura nylon shell, the Mountain OPs jacket integrates 700 fill goose down insulation and an updated look. It boasts 7 pockets including an angled, flapped chest pocket pocket on the left as well as an inset bicep pocket on the left arm and angled pen pocket on the right sleeve. In addition to slash hand warmer pockets, it also features a single pocket on the interior.

The little details really make this jacket. It includes knit collar and inset knit cuffs as well as a fleece chin cup for comfort in the cold.

It is generously cut and designed to layer. Order your correct size unless you want a slim fit, then go down one size. Offered in regular and tall lengths sizes Small – XXLarge. Smoke Grey with Red accents. Remember, Grey is the new Black.

There’s a Party in My Pants

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

Or maybe I was at a party in these pants. Either way, there was a party involved and I was wearing these pants. From a distance they look like British DPM but up close it’s a different story altogether. The Foxtrot-A Pants from Loudmouth Golf feature a rather interesting camo pattern but I wouldn’t recommend these for casual Friday.

Video Footage of the Limited Edition Arc’teryx LEAF MultiCam Atom SV from Tactical Distributors

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

If you’re still on the fence about getting one of the Limited Edition Arcteryx MultiCam Atom SVs, this video footage from Tactical Distributors should help you make up your mind. Granted, it’s MultiCam so it’s a bit of a specialist piece but that’s the point, isn’t it?

It’s a great insulator and packs up quite small. There are also a couple of cool improvements over existing civilian models like a hood adjustment as well as an internal band collar.

Get yours before they are gone.
