Reversible Rainsuit from Dakota Outerwear

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

As I walked through the Warrior Expo West yesterday I saw an interesting item out of the corner of my eye. Seeing how the USAF just adopted OCP (MultiCam) for Airmen bound for Afghanistan I found this rain jacket to look pretty handy. Originally developed for use when we still issued separate woodland and desert patterns, it reverses for compatibility with either environment but the design went out of favor as the Air Force adopted the Digital Tiger Stripe Pattern. Now that the Air Force once again has two patterns, Dakota Outerwear thought it was time to reintroduce the concept. We agree.

The hood stows in the collar and pockets are accessible no matter which pattern is exposed.

Dakota Outerwear is available for agency/unit purchase from www.adsinc.com/dakota-outerwear.

XGO’s FR Shemagh

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

We first wrote about XGO’s FR Shemagh two-and-a-half years ago and yet it remains one of our favorite items. Shemagh’s continue to retain their popularity with US and Coalition forces serving in Afghanistan and yet the IED threat continues to grow exposing troops to dangerous flame threats.

Manufactured from lightweight Acclimate® FR 100% Flame Resistant no melt cotton, it has passed the American Society for Testing and Materials vertical flame resistance test (ASTM 6413-99). It has also been treated with Ag47 silver to inhibit bacterial growth. This is very important as Shemaghs are almost never washed and being worn around the head and neck normally end up smelling like a gym sock.

Currently available in Tan and Coyote versions, XGO is capable of doing custom runs of colors and patterns. To get yours visit www.proxgo.com.

OA Duty Wear from Vertx

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Ever since Vertx introduced their pant, LE professionals have been asking for a duty uniform incorporating the signature Vertx styling. Now, with the introduction of OA Duty Wear, Vertx has done just that, offering subtly tactical features in a uniform that will be just as welcome with Officers who wear Class Bs daily as with Tactical Personnel.

Fred Heldman had this to say about the new design, “Today’s public safety officer is an Operational Athlete and needs a uniform that allows him or her to perform as one. However, they still must look professional. OA Duty Wear is designed to strike the correct balance between function and appearance.”

The two chest pockets on the shirt are accessed from the top and feature the same flap style as on the pant. There is an additional napoleon zip entry into the same pocket as well as a pen holder inside the left chest pocket.

While the OA Duty Wear features the same great fit and attention to construction details as the standard Vertx Pants, they have replaced the jeans style back pocket with a more traditional besom pocket to reduce snagging and present a more professional appearance.

The uniform uses a 65/35 poly cotton stretch twill for better color retention and breathability. The uniform also features a heavier weight Pant (6.5 oz) than Shirt (5.2 oz) for durability and comfort. Additionally, OA Duty Wear’s Intelli-Dryâ„¢ Treatment helps keeps the wearer cool while providing superior stain and fluid resistance. It is basically a push pull technology.

OA Duty Wear is offered in LE Navy and Black. The Shirts are available in both long and short sleeve in unisex sizes Small – 4Xlarge while the Pants are offered in both Men’s and Women’s sizing.

Vertx will be launching these new styles this weekend at both NAUMD (Booth #208) and TTPOA (Booth B-32 / B-33). Look out for a Duty Wear short soon.
