Massif Non-FR Line Fully Available
Thursday, October 27th, 2011Massif is well known as a provider of FR clothing solutions to military personnel, LE, and wildland firefighters. However, you don’t always require FR protection, depending on the mission. Massif realized this and has developed a dedicated non-FR line. In addition to the Integrated Tactical Jacket we premiered here on SSD back in May, Massif has introduced two additional pieces that we mentioned during our NBOW coverage in September. Here’s a quick rundown to remind you about each of the pieces.
I’ve worn the Integrated Tactical Jacket quite a bit. It’s a very functional, lightweight piece that’s designed to compliment armor in much the same way as a combat shirt. The difference is obviously the softshell fabric which will serve you well in inclement weather but the ITJ also has an interesting pocket setup. In addition to traditional inset bicep pockets it has two mesh lined pockets on the upper chest. Accessible through the arm holes of an armor vest, they can be opened to aid in ventilation. Die cut, Velcro adjustable cuff tabs set this one off. Available in Black and OD. Size Small – XXLarge.
Next, is the Diamond Peak Field Pant. It definitely has a home in that new class of non-tactical, tactical pants. The Diamond Peak is something more than an outdoor pant but not quite a full cargo pant. It’s sleek looks integrate an interesting pocket arrangement we discussed in our NBOW coverage. Made from a stretch-woven nylon canvas fabric, they will move with you. Currently only available in Black, I am told we will see additional colors soon. Sized 30 – 42 in Regular and Long lengths.
Finally, is the Lightweight Tactical Shirt. This shirt is made for hot climates and incorporates a heavier fabric on the arms and shoulders that features a DWR finish to shed light rain. Available in OD and a two-tone Black and Gray, the Lightweight Tactical Shirt comes in sizes Small – XXLarge.
Available for order now from www.Massif.com as well as their various retailers. Look for more Non-FR clothing at SHOT Show.

Thursday, October 27th, 2011
Backpacker magazine selected Beyond Clothing’s RoughRider Pant under the Editor’s Choice Snow Category for custom fit pants. Editor-in-chief Jonathan Dorn boasts a 36″ inseam and liked the Schoeller Dynamic fabric’s ability to cut the wind. Specifically, he said that with a layer underneath, he stayed warm below zero in 20 mile-per-hour wind conditions. We haven’t seen the article mentioned in the online edition yet, but it is featured prominently on page 79 of the current issue.
Originally designed for military use, the new RoughRider Pant is now available in Nextec’s silicone encapsulated Glacier fabric used for PCU Level 5 and comes in a MultiCam print.
The RoughRider Pant features:

UFPRO’s Sniper Garment System in PenCott Greenzone
Monday, October 24th, 2011Last week we mentioned that Uni & Forma was exhibiting the Sniper Garment in Hyde Definition‘s PenCott Greenzone pattern at the Parisian military expo MiliPol.
Unfortunately, all we had at the time was a line drawing of the garment, but Andrzej Krugler, Editor-in-Chief, of the Polish magazine Special Ops captured this photograph of the garment.

Behind the Curtain at SmartWool
Monday, October 24th, 2011This video gives you an inside look at the manufacture of SmartWool socks at their factory in the US. It’s a cool video that shows you the machinery at work and gives you a good idea of how the socks are made.
However, please remember, not all SmartWool products are manufactured here and although there are Merino sheep here in the US, Merino Wool is a product of New Zealand.
215 Gear Short Sleeve Operator’s Shirt
Monday, October 24th, 2011Now available for pre-order, 215 Gear’s Short Sleeve Operator’s Shirt is made for “today’s barrel chested freedom fighter.” With a description like that, seriously, how can you go wrong? Truthfully, it’s not all hype. According to 215 Gear it is made from CoolMax for comfort and assembled using flat seam construction to avoid hot spots. Finally, they’ve added a 4″ x 4″ Velcro square for IFF patches.
Made in USA and available for pre-order in sizes Medium – X-Large from 215 Gear.
