Firestorm Combat Shirt from ICE Tactical

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

From Integrated Combat Equipment comes the new Firestorm Combat Shirt. It features a 10″ zippered front as well as inset bicep pockets with zippered openings and velcro patches. The big story here is obviously the fabric. The entire shirt is made from a Berry Compliant 7.5oz Jersey knit unlike other combat shirts that combine knits and wovens. The material is a 71% Modacrylic, 24% FR Rayon, 5% Spandex blend that passes the vertical flame test for FR. Additionally, it has an anti-microbial treatment and a moisture management treatment meaning less stink. Berry compliant and available in any color as long as it’s MultiCam, sizes S-XXL. The fit is not as tight as other combat shirts.

So, to sum up: FR, lightweight, 100% knit, anti-microbial, and Berry Compliant. We have been waiting to write about these until they are actually in stock. Available for order now.

Unleashed Tactical Equipment Announces New Products and Webstore

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Today, Unleashed Tactical Equipmentâ„¢ released details of their new range of products for military, law enforcement and security professionals. This includes not only completely new products but updates to the Vanguard Thermal Suppression line as well.

Atap Shell Garments

The Atap range of products are straight forward and remove superfluous accessories, replacing them with carefully researched and implemented features that enhance the comfort and performance of the wearer. The design maximizes the functional surface area of the military grade three layer ePTFE laminate in a garment that allows unequaled levels of vapor transfer. The use of MULTICAM® disruptive pattern allows the Atap Shell Garments to work across varied environments and integrate with the growing user base of agencies who have adopted this pattern.

I’ve been in this business for a long time and this is the first garment set that ticks all the boxes for deployed personnel that can expect to be caught in inclement weather conditions” said Stevie Malcolm CEO of Unleashed Tactical Equipment. “It’s the result of user input, great manufacturing technology and the best available materials that makes this a must have combination.”

Westcomb® Outerwear

Unleashed Tactical Equipment™ has also completed an agreement with Westcomb® Outerwear resulting in UTE offering the entire Westcomb® line to the tactical user community. They are working with Westcomb® to exclusively offer the complete range of products to professional military, law enforcement and security users.

Vanguard Thermal Suppression – Gen II

Finally, the Special Products team at Unleashed Tactical Equipment™ has released the second generation of their Vanguard Thermal Suppression technology. This second generation of products offers a broader scope of application including suits, over suits, head, face & shoulder covers, equipment covers, user applied appliqués and OP screens. Say’s Dave Green, technical project lead, “the versatility of the second generation products provides several improvements to the surveillance operators tool kit including user customization.”

The new webstore can be found at www.ixi-jrs.com. SSD readers get 10% discount using SSD as the voucher code at checkout.

Crye Takes Denmark

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

It has been said that Crye Precision is taking over the world and I would answer that with, “one country at a time, my friend, one country at a time.” Denmark is the latest to join the ranks of those sporting Crye. Now, this isn’t the same thing as the Danes adopting MultiCam. Rather, the firm PX-Shop has contracted with Crye to offer Combat Shirts and Pants in Danish M84 pattern. This is similar to what happened in Germany awhile back.

SOD Boonie Hat

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

We first published this article in June of 2008. Even today, we still feel that Italy-based SOD manufacturers the finest Boonie Hat available. In addition to Crye MultiCam and the standard Green and Tan colorschemes, SOD offers several Italian camo patterns. If you are looking for a Boonie, this is the one to get.

This is the first in a series of articles on the SOD line of products. I have already made mention of the attention to detail that the crew at SOD pays to their designs. For their boonie, they started with Crye’s already fantastic design and improved it even further.
SOD Boonie Hat
The design features a wide brim with multiple stitching reinforcements. It is a little wider than the Crye hat but not was stiff as the Crye. The pile tape and, nylon webbing camo band, and barrel lock are all treated with the Multicam pattern.
SOD Boonie Rear
The sweatband is terry cloth as used in the Australian boonie hat.
SOD Boonie Hat Interior
Additionally, where the Crye boonie has only one slash vent backed with mesh netting, the SOD features two.
