SOMA-1 Wearcom Pullover

Monday, August 27th, 2012

Alphyn Industries has several clothing products with elements influenced by military design. One is the SOMA-1 Wearcom Pullover.

Available in Small – XXLarge, it features a wind and water resistant laminate fleece with a SOMA smartphone pocket on the left forearm. As you can see, the 3″ x 5″ pocket is a similar design to wrist mounted aide memoires with a cover flap and straps to hold it in place.

Alphyn Industries offers a couple of other interesting designs as well including the Delta 415 Jeans that include a built in kneeboard.

FT Knox Seeks WWII Uniforms

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

This is something you don’t see every day. Ft Knox has put out a solicitation for WWII USGI militaria for use on mannequins. That alone in unusual. Even more so, is that they are using an online reverse auction to buy the stuff. Considering the cost of authentic gear, not to mention reproductions and the large sizes of some of the items, the chance that the Army will get ripped off on this deal is very big. There’s no such thing as a bargain on WWII collector’s items.

Arc’teryx LEAF – Wraith

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

Winter is coming so it’s a good time to start thinking about overwhites. The Arc’teryx LEAF Wraith is excellent for this purpose. Since it’s available in both White and Crocodile it’s also excellent as a general camouflage garment for those that need to cover street clothing. In a snap, you can transform from urban camo to field camo.

Additionally, the Wraith is an excellent emergency shell. It’s compact and can used to quickly cover kit in inclement weather, creating a protected microclimate. Designed to fit over body armour or other layers, the mini-ripstop nylon textile of the Wraith Jacket and Pant is moisture-shedding and wind-resistant. Combined weight of 331g for the set of jacket and pant.

US Cavalry Covers The Propper TAC.U Combat Shirt

Monday, August 20th, 2012

US CAV has produced a great video covering the Propper International TAC.U Combat Shirt we first mentioned during SHOT Show 2011. It features several features nit found on other combat shirts. For example, there is loop for a nametape on back of the collar, fully articulated elbow with external elbow pad openings, integrated dual cuff with thumb hole and hook-and-loop fasteners, multiple dual layer pockets on sleeves and a double layer stretch shoulder with shoulder pad pockets. That’s right, padding is integrated directly into the garment’s shoulders.

The sleeves are manufactured from a 65/35 poly/cotton “battlerip” ripstop weave, and the body of the shirt is a 60/40 knitted cotton/poly mix.
