I am a big fan of Biothane belts. They give the look and performance of leather but are impervious to the effects of water as well as bodily fluids.
5.11 Tactical has introduced a limited edition version of their Apex Gunner’s Belt. The Apex Warrior’s Belt is individually serialized, inscribed with year, number (1/511, 2/511, etc.), and the passage from Isaiah 6:8, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” which sums up why many of us have taken the oath to defend our fellow citizens from harm. The ergonomically curved belt material provides 1,500 lbs of tensile strength and is paired with a dual prong stainless steel buckle. Offered in Dark Horse Brown in sizes Med – XLarge.
The Sphinx Halfshell and Sphinx Pant are made of motion-friendly Tweave® Durastretch® fabric, a four-way stretch woven that is wind and weather-resistant. Plus, they’re mighty comfortable.

When we wrote about Ministry of Supply‘s performance office wear shirts we didn’t expect them to be as big of a hit as they turned out to be. The concept of combining performance fabrics with business wear really resonated with our readers. Now, Ministry of Supply has told us about their next project, a shirt made from phase change materials. Not only that, but they are launching it through Kickstarter, which we have found is a great way to crowd source start up costs for a project.
This new Apollo shirt is made from a Phase Change Material developed for use in NASA space suits. The material offers you heat management. The concept behind the fabric is that it stores body heat when you’re hot and releases it later as conditions cool. Additionally, it provides moisture management properties and odor control. It’s also wrinkle free and machine wash. What’s more, the Apollo is Made in the USA!
Get in on the action at Kickstarter.
