IWA 25 – Carinthia Goldeck Hunt Pants & Shorts

Thursday, February 27th, 2025

I am very impressed with the new Goldeck pants and shorts from Austria’s Carnithia.

Both the pants and shorts feature an integrated belt with G-LOFT insulation in the waistband for padding.

Additionally, both options offer 2 leg pockets with side access and additional mesh-separated organizer compartments, 2 leg pockets, 1 rear pocket, and 1 blade pouch for tactical tools.

The cuffs of the pants incorporate a Velcro strap to keep them closed over your boots and there are side zippers for ventilation at the legs.

The pants and shorts are really nice, but the real story here is the fabric. Carinthia worked on their new RE1 fabric (Range Extender) for two years and came up with a blend consisting of 46% cotton, 46% polyamide, and 8% EOL. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, highly durable, and is very comfortable against the skin. What’s more, they’ve woven ripstop into the fabric and it offers four-way stretch.

The fabric is not only quiet, but it can also be washed in temperatures up to 95°C without affecting size or elasticity.

The Goldeck pants and shorts will be available in summer from www.carinthia.eu.

Enforce Tac 25 – Varusteleka L3 Layer

Tuesday, February 25th, 2025

This is Finnish company Varusteleka’s first outing at Enforce Tac and they’re featuring their new 7 layer clothing system.

This is their Layer 3 which is a simple Softshell jacket. It reminds me quite a bit of the original L5 jacket from SPEAR PCU so I really like the pocket layout. However, instead of EPIC fabric, it’s made from a lightweight but very durable Softshell weave.

Coming late Spring from www.varusteleka.com.

Feature driven, it sports a Roman collar, a long hem to stay tucked in and flat seams for comfort, an integrated pocket on each sleeve with a pass through flap and Velcro panel.

Arktis Launches New Hurricane Wind Shirt

Tuesday, February 11th, 2025

Exeter, Devon – 21st Jan 2025 – Arktis, is proud to announce the launch of its new wind shirt, the Hurricane Shirt. Serving as the windshell layer of the new Elite range, the Hurricane Shirt marks a continued launch of new and updated designs to its range as Arktis celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year.

Description

The ultimate fusion of lightweight comfort and robust windproof protection. Your first line of defence against wind and rain.

The A196 Hurricane Shirt incorporates some of the best elements of three of our favourite products. It introduces new features and design aspects from our Elite Jackets onto the Stowaway’s simple frame while adding an upgraded front pocket courtesy of developments to our Mammoth Shirt. All this merges together while maintaining the quality and design our customers love.

The new hood features the same 3-point adjustment found in our Vulcan and Stealth, with a combination wire and foam peaked hood. We have added Velcro adjustment to the cuffs and modified the bottom hem with a side-set anchored cinch to support the new dropped rear hem.

The Hurricane Shirt offers ample storage with two stacked front pockets. The first is a top-access zip pocket that can store small items and devices and serves as the stuff sack for the shirt. The second pocket behind the first is a hoodie-style pocket with a zip closure, perfect for warming your hands.

All zips on the Hurricane Shirt come with storm flaps for extra protection and are YKK-branded.
