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.

This photo shows the longer length of the new Alpha Parka. As you can see, DK is wearing the patterned Alpha Jacket over an Alpha Parka. The extra material below the hem of the jacket demonstrates how long the Parka is.

Seen earlier today in North Carolina. Think maybe Arc’teryx has MultiCam shorts on the way? Man I hope so. I would SO wear these.

SmartWool PHD Elite Socks Hit the Market

Friday, July 6th, 2012

SmartWool has just released their new PhD Elite line of socks featuring their 4 Degree Elite Fit System and ReliaWool Technology.

I wore the last go around of SmartWool PhD socks for quite awhile. I loved the fit but the heels wore out. Every single pair. Oddly enough, the SmartWool hiking socks I was issued in the service lasted forever so I’m glad to hear that they’re integrating this new ReliaWool technology.

As these were just released to stores I haven’t had a chance to try them out yet, but I’m looking forward to it and I’ll let you know what I think. T-shirts, underwear (unless you go commando) and socks are the closest clothing to your body. Don’t skimp on them, regardless of brand. They are critical to comfort and performance.
