Polish brand SpecOps has been working with Australian camo developer ROGGENWOLF to introduce uniforms in the WARG pattern. The uniform design is the SpecOps MBS-1 type uniform cut, in both WARG-forest and WARG-desert camo versions.
This uniform will be run against A-TACS, MULTICAM, HYDE-DEFINITION and MIRAGE camo patterns for the upcoming Polish Army camo trials in 2011.
They won’t give us any details so we are just going to have to go and see for ourselves but Beyond Tactical let us know that they will be launching new styles of both technical as well as tactical garments at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in SLC next week. Visit booth #38127.
We have seen several of the new developmental products in the works at Vertx over the course of the year and you will finally get to see them as well at SHOT Show. We can tell you, impressive all. They are definitely not doing what everyone else is. Visit booth #10525 to check out their new OA Duty Uniform featuring a Vertx pant fit and construction paired with a Gunfighter top fit with professional duty wear appearance.
They will also have their Gunfighter tops on hand so you can see what you have been missing. As always there will also be a few surprises thrown in for good measure. Additionally, Vertx will feature their clothing displayed with Mayflower and Velocity Systems products.
And oh, did we mention beer? Each day at 4:00 Vertx will tap the first of three Kegs. Last year, their booth was so packed that they emptied two kegs in under 45 minutes.
We broke the story on Arc’teryx LEAF’s new TALOS combat uniform last July and now it is available for order. TALOS is part of the Armor Compatible Layering System and consists of a combat shirt and trousers. Both are made of lightweight ripstop NYCO fabric and the torso section of the shirt is of a lightweight jersey knit. Both top and bottom are available in MultiCam; 100% MultiCam. One of the things that sets this clothing apart from others on the market is that the shirt’s torso is printed rather than a solid color.
Additionally, Arc’teryx has released suspenders for use with the Talos, Sphinx, and Gryphon trousers. Production suspenders will be in Crocodile.

Considering the British military adopted a MultiCam derivative camouflage dubbed Multi Terrain Pattern, it’s no wonder MultiCam is becoming a big hit with UK manufacturers. Considering the US Army and Air Force have also adopted MultiCam for operations in Afghanistan under the name of OCP and that the Australians have followed suit, it’s quite simply good business. Oddly enough, MultiCam has done more to unite the English speaking militaries than anything since the adoption of 5.56mm. It seems that only Canada is the odd fellow in this one.
But I digress. UK manufacturer Snugpak has begun to introduce clothing in the MultiCam pattern. Long popular with UK and Allied Soldiers, Snugpak’s loft insulation garments compress well. The Sleeka has begun to show up for sale in a reversible MultiCam to Tan variant. Look for more garments and availability in the US soon.
