For those of you that missed SHOT, here is the Crye Precision catalog in all its glory.
Please do not contact Crye over and over asking when these products will be available. The more you harass them, the more you gum up the works. They are all expected to hit the market at various points over the course of this year. Special thanks to Ash from MightyTactical.com for getting this together.
UK Based Unleashed Tactical Equipment has released images and information to us on their new Triton Softshell. It’s by design that you haven’t heard of Unleashed Tactical until now. They have been providing very high end products to a select customer base for some time and felt it was finally the right time to come out into the open. They will continue to maintain a selective client list but felt that our website was a good venue to introduce them to more of the right kind of customer.
Unleashed Tactical Equipment out of the UK has just completed their 2010 product collection. Developed specifically for law enforcement, military and security specialists, the range encompasses overt and covert tasks.
The Triton Softshell is a mid-layer jacket available in hooded and mandarin collar variants. Both garments use a windproof and highly breathable four way stretch Schoeller® textile. The outer face of the garment is finished with the same company’s nanoSpere® durable water repellent finish. The inside features a micro fleece lining for warmth. The cut of the garment is athletic and maximizes the stretch properties of the material, following the Unleashed philosophy of Body Proximity Comfort™.
Speaking of comfort, the four pockets on the jacket feature HyperVentilationâ„¢ pocket liners. The liners allow direct venting of humidity when open, increasing comfort during times of high physiological burden. The sleeves of the jacket are also slightly longer than normal to offer some hand protection where gloves are not an option. The jacket is finished with water resistant YKK zippers and shock cord waist adjustment.

Beyond Tactical exhibited their PCU lvl 9 shirt and pants at SHOT Show. Based on work completed to produce a specialized combat uniform, the Beyond product is available as a custom fitted item. This example was made from an FR fabric, but they are available in several different fabrics and colors. Contact www.beyondtactical.com for more information. Make sure you ask them about their Travel Shirt which has been in development hell since summer.
Patagonia is going to offer Alpha Green as a color option for their Fall 10 line up. I know it’s a way off but start saving your pennies if you want to put together a more modern version of MARS or just update some of the pieces in the kit you already have.
Without a doubt the Mayhem TR from Arc’teryx was the coolest thing I saw at SHOT Show. This pullover hoodie design will make a great addition to the Arc’teryx line…some day.
Based on the venerable field jacket and pant liners, the new Smokin line is made from an 1.1 oz FR fabric shell with FR insulation. It is reversible with color options including Coyote, Foliage Green and MultiCam. The design echos the old issue field jacket liner with underarm vents and would fit perfectly under a field uniform but it has a zipper down the front of the sweater rather than button holes we are used to. The Smokin line will feature a Full Zip Sweater, Chaps, Quarter Zip shirt, Vest, and Blanket. 782’s new website should be launched around the first of February but until then visit www.782gear.com.
ICE Tactical has released photos of three new headwear products manufactured from an FR knit fabric in MultiCam (of course).
