Arc’teryx Covert Zip Exclusive from US Elite Gear

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

US Elite Gear is offering an exclusive version of the popular Arc’teryx Covert Zip in Crocodile. Made from Polartec Thermal Pro Sweater Knit, It features a zip collar and laminated pocket on the left sleeve. US Elite Gear added their embroidered logo to the right sleeve. Other than that, it is a standard Covert Zip. US Elite Gear likes it so much they have dubbed it the BAJ for Bad Ass Jacket.

I have to agree with their name. I have been wearing a Blue one for several winters now and is one of my favorite sweaters. It is very comfortable and the perfect layer over a performance t-shirt for brisk days. I picked it up at a Hudson Trail Outfitter sale when I lived in the DC area and like I said, I have been wearing it for five years and it shows little wear. Granted, I haven’t worn it 24/7 but if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Expect some minor pilling but this has never detracted from the performance or look of the Covert Zip.

It is in stock in sizes Small – XX Large. To purchase yours visit www.us-elitegear.com.

Jonesing for the Arc’teryx Talos Combat Uniform?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

If you just can’t wait to get your hands on the Talos Combat Uniform from Arc’teryx we have some good news for you. The pants have been released and are currently in stock at Tactical Distributors as well as OP Tactical. So far these are the only two retail outlets we know of.

Currently available in any color you want as long as it’s MultiCam, additional color options are still about a year out. They are manufactured from 50/50 NYCO and come in sizes small – XX large. These are right on size with other Arc’teryx products. They are amazing pants and packed with features such as the webbing reinforced kneepad pockets with slits for the straps to be used on the outside of the pants. The pants also feature an articulated fit, tool loops, and an integrated gaiter designed to keep debris out of your boots without resorting to traditional blousing. We bought ours from Tactical Distributors and can’t say enough good things about them.

No solid word yet on when the tops will be available.

Unleashing Cilahc

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

We know, so you’re asking yourself, “What the hell’s a Cilahc?” Don’t worry, we did the same thing when Unleashed Tactical Equipmentâ„¢ came to us to talk about it recently. You may recall that last summer we wrote an article about UTE’s Fit to Fight initiative which came about due to a longtime mate’s battle related severe burn injuries while wearing non-FR clothing. Over time this project evolved into the Cilahc range.

Below are two of the Cilahc products; the jacket and pants.

You need to read this exclusive interview to get an idea of where they are heading with this range of FR clothing and their overall philosophy.

Battlefield Airmen on the Job

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

We like seeing official Air Force photos of Battlefield Airmen applying airmanship to the tasks at hand. In this case we see U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Stacy Maxey, a command air mobility liaison officer with Task Force CROM, giving a landing zone safety officer course U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and Romanian army personnel at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Lagman, Afghanistan.

You will note the combination of AF Digital Tigerstripe, Army UCP and Army OCP (MultiCam) clothing and equipment on the Airmen in the photo. Expect this to be the norm for at least the near future as deploying Airmen transition to OCP.
