Arc’teryx LEAF Chimera

Tuesday, July 17th, 2012

The Arc’teryx LEAF Chimera was designed specifically for hot/wet weather use. It’s also their first use of the Cyberknit technology combined with a Tweave Durastretch LT yoke and sleeves. It’s highly breathable, moisture-wicking properties include an anti-bacterial, odor-control fabric treatment. It’s not FR but it wasn’t designed to be and the user community it was originally designed for didn’t ask for it. However, it’s ridiculously comfortable against the skin.

This long sleeve shirt is a simple, low profile design meant to keep you cool. It incorporates zippered inset bicep pockets with Velcro pile patches. It’s long torso can be tucked in and the unique low-profile two-piece collar is tall enough to eliminate irritation from armor yet not stick up or be in the way.

Warrior Expo East – Under Armour

Friday, July 13th, 2012

Coming late this month, are a new pair of men’s pants (Breach) that integrate DWR at the fiber level rather than a treatment. As you can see, water beads up on the surface and due to the inherent qualities of the Durable Water Repellant it isn’t going to wash or wear out.

Also, look out Spring 13 for a new women’s line.

Finally, be ready to get your socks knocked off as Under Armour expands from three tactical footwear styles to 11 in January. One of the major draws will be the integration of their Spine technology into the tactical line.

Let’s face it, DOD budgets aren’t exactly getting larger these days, so, in the interest of diversifying their customer base and product portfolios, Serket has teamed with TenCate (scrap fabric only – no real Defender M was harmed in the manufacture of this sun dress) and Travis McDowell (and his Grandma) to develop a functioning prototype of the world’s first flame resistant, no-melt, anti-static, anti-microbial, MultiCam sundress (concept only – hold your money orders, operators are NOT standing by).

Test/evaluation is currently underway in Somalia, Syria, The Congo (in Kryptek Mandrake) and Asheville, N.C.
