Just in time for Fall in Afghanistan, these OTTE Gear gaiters are deigned for use with crampons, snow shoes and skis. Sized to fit over General Issue combat boots or light hiking boots as well as plastic or leather mountaineering boots, they are crafted from abrasion-resistant 1000D Cordura® nylon lowers with uppers made from lighter 330D Cordura® nylon. The gaiters feature Velcro openings for quick donning and doffiing and the top hem tightens with an adjustable elastic cord to ensure they stay up, even in deep snow.
The bottoms stay fast due to adjustable and durable Hypalon rubber straps to keep the gaiters from riding up in deep snow or mud. They are also adjustable due to the 2-inch wide Velcro closure. Altering the amount of overlap adjusts the circumference, allowing a fit over different boots and clothing systems. Sized Small – XX-Large and available in MultiCam.

Adam Savage was captured wearing a Kitanica MARK I jacket on a recent episode of "Mythbusters" where they are testing whether a Slushie can kill someone when thrown out a car window at highway speeds (It's 2:00 into this clip). Adam's also the proud owner of a Kitanica MARK IV. In fact, overwhelming fan interest in Adam's MARK IV brought Kitanica back into the forefront.
While it’s a fashion statement, TNF has put together some pretty cool kit. Known as the Purple Label line, the Fall lineup is offered in Australian Disruptive Pattern. Here, you see a Gore-tex jacket, Fleece vest, and Day pack. The downside? They are only available in Japan.
There has been a lot of buzz about Vertx’s new Gunfighter shirt and it is finally available, for pre-order at least.
Available in two weights; a durable nylon cotton ripstop blend and the water-resistant Storm variant, incorporates technical materials and finishes critical for use in harsh weather conditions. Its simple, clean design and articulated shoulders and arm allow for full range of motion. Durable, yet lightweight and breathable, the shirt is ergonomically designed for any situation and does not compromise freedom of movement.
While both versions are currently offered in MultiCam®, Vertx is developing Gunfighter models with solid color shells.
Like all Vertx products, the Gunfighter is designed for the operator who wants the combination of low visual profile and function of a battle garment. It was designed in cooperation with SWAT and military operators interested in a clean, functional approach to high incident tactical wear.
“The Operational Athlete of today has to be highly adaptable, always prepared for a number of situations,†said Vertx President & CEO, Bob Getto. “We work closely with law enforcement and military contacts to understand these unique needs and create wearable performance clothing that can match the versatility required for the job.â€
“Vertx offers a modern take on the battle dress uniform,†said David Walsh, Brand Manager for Vertx. “A low profile, business casual appearance can be maintained without restricting any movement or comfort. This approach enables operators to perform at the highest level needed in an instant without calling direct attention to the individual wearing it.â€
“The gunfighter shirt provides for such a great range of motion without the excess fabric and features associated with other tops that you don’t even know that you are wearing it,†said a SWAT officer wear evaluator. “The Shoulder pocket design is clean, you can slide your arm in and out of jackets or protective equipment and the pocket does not get snagged on the inside of the sleeve.â€

– Low visual profile zippered bicep pockets provide fluent access to contents
– Loop Velcroâ„¢ patch on both upper arms for Unit patch
