UF PRO Introduces P-40 Classic Gen.3 Tactical Pants

Saturday, March 28th, 2026

KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (26 March 2026)

UF PRO, one of the most innovative brands in the tactical clothing industry and part of Mehler Systems, has introduced the P-40 Classic Gen.3 Tactical Pants, a new generation of low-profile tactical pants designed for everyday reliability, unrestricted mobility, and comfort across a wide temperature range.

The P-40 Classic Gen.3 builds on the proven concept of the P-40 platform, focusing on functional improvements in fit, adaptability, and long-term comfort. Designed for professional users who require a clean, low-profile appearance without compromising performance, the pants are suitable for operational environments, training, and everyday duty use.

The pants feature a hybrid construction combining durable PolyCo Ripstop fabric with bi-elastic stretch panels, providing high wear resistance while allowing unrestricted freedom of movement. The ergonomic cut supports natural body movement during dynamic activities such as running, climbing, or working in kneeling positions.

A key development in the Gen.3 version is the enhanced waist construction. Integrated stretch panels, compatibility with the UF PRO Waist/Flex system, and a 3D lower-back pad improve stability, fit, and comfort, particularly when carrying equipment on the belt.

The pants are also designed to adapt to changing conditions. They are compatible with UF PRO 3D Tactical Knee Pads, with the option to add puncture-resistant Solid Pads. In colder or windy environments, an optional windproof thermal liner can be zipped into the waistband, extending the operational temperature range without reducing mobility or breathability.

With their low-profile design, modular protection options, and adaptability to different temperatures and mission requirements, the P-40 Classic Gen.3 Tactical Pants are designed to provide reliable performance across a wide range of professional applications.

PRISM Receives Patent for PRS

Monday, March 23rd, 2026

PRISM founder Mark Chin has announced that the brand’s PRS (Prism Retention System) has finally received it’s US Patentunder Patent No. 12,550,954. With his extensive background in apparel design, development and manufacturing, Mark took a simple idea and concept and is now turning it into a product you didn’t know you needed.

PRISM will begin manufacturing their apparel bottoms to now include PRS. The concepts and design of PRS are extremely simple, but very effective. The retention system is made up oftheir own manufactured bottoms and incorporating PRS, which is a Velcro type material integrated to the internal portion of their garment’s waistband. Unlike other systems that require belts, straps, hooks, clips, ultracomp or even tegris, PRS is receptive to any type of accessory that has a Velcro hook (male) surface. PRS will allow the end user the opportunity to conceal kit on body and reduce their overall exposure of those items.What PRS offers is 360° degrees of concealment along your inner waist and at a moment’s notice allowing the end user toremove and replace any of those items anywhere else along the waist line. Another major feature is that PRS gives you theability to rotate any item 180° degrees or as much as 360° while also allowing any accessory to sit higher or lower on body.

The last and major contribution from PRS will be the ability to fully conceal any and all EDC while having your shirt tucked in.

“My goal was to create a system that allowed end users a better opportunity to conceal their tools with little to no visible exposure. I wanted to give guys a wider range of how they could carry their tools while also making it much more comfortable for them to conceal. PRS will give the market (and us) an opportunity to create more concealable products that can work easily with PRS and all other ranges of products that are already being used throughout the market. PRS has unlimited capabilities to what it can be used for, but one of the amazing facts about the system is that you won’t even know it’s there.”

PRISM will be launching new variants of pants for 2026 in the coming weeks. They plan to continue offering both imported and USA made goods for the foreseeable future. A PRS accessory suite is in works with plans to launch this Summer.

Blast From The Past – The Mojave Travel Shirt from Beyond Clothing

Saturday, March 14th, 2026

We are reach by way back into the SSD archives for this one. In May of 2010 we first wrote about a “Travel Shirt” whipped up by Beyond Clothing founder Scott Jones in 2009.

This “Travel Shirt” was originally a one-off that he made for himself. It is a waist length design with mandarin collar, chest and sleeve pockets made from a lightweight material. It almost has a Star Wars vibe.

I harangued him about it and eventually he added it to the line up at Beyond. Now you have to remember, at that time, everything was made to order, including their custom size “Big &Tall” version of the USSOCOM Protective Combat Uniform.

When Beyond sold to 5.11 Tactical not long after, the Mojave Travel Shirt as it became known was dropped from the line as they retooled their offerings. Unfortunately, I never bought one.

I wonder if the patterns are still around and Beyond could reintroduce this cool adventure wear jacket. It would be great in a NEXTEC fabric as a 3-season Softshell.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: HOODLUM HOODIE – ACM MID 400

Friday, March 13th, 2026

The FirstSpear HOODLUM HOODIE™ – ACM™ MID 400 is built from ACM-MID 400, a dual-layer knit designed for performance in demanding environments. The interior layer is 100% polyester and pulls moisture away from the skin, while the exterior layer is 100% merino wool that absorbs and disperses that moisture. This system helps regulate temperature and keep you dry during movement or extended wear. The 7.7 oz fabric offers a balance of warmth, breathability, and durability without adding unnecessary bulk.

Designed for operational use, the HOODLUM HOODIE™ – ACM™ MID 400 provides a comfortable, flexible fit with enough stretch to move freely during activity. A full-length front zipper allows for quick ventilation and easy layering. The form-fitting hood adds protection from the elements while maintaining a streamlined profile.

Two zippered front handwarmer pockets provide secure storage and added warmth when needed. Thumbholes integrated into the cuffs help keep sleeves in place and offer additional coverage in cold conditions.

The Hoodlum Hoodie can be worn standalone or integrated into a larger clothing system. Built for reliability in the field, it delivers practical performance with a low-profile design. Made in the USA, the HOODLUM HOODIE™ – ACM™ MID 400 reflects FirstSpear’s commitment to mission-focused gear.

The line was developed in conjunction with Tu Lam and is priced very well, with high quality, often made from American fabrics.
