Massif has launched a new web site and unveiled their new tactical line at SHOT Show.
Based on their highly successful Army Combat Shirt, the new FR garments feature the same fabrics as the military issue item. They will be available in a variety of color schemes including Foliage Green, Blue, Khaki, and MultiCam. You should see them begin to be available soon.
In addition to the Combat Shirt, they are also offering short sleeve FR T-shirts and Softshell Jackets.
Fox News may have inadvertently revealed a third contender in the Army’s Afghan camo wear test. A mortar crew was photographed wearing the Army Physical Fitness Uniform while hard at work bring pain to the Taliban. Oddly enough, the PFU’s sporty running jacket blends in with the drab Afghanistan terrain as well as the ACU’s current Universal Camouflage Pattern. What’s more, the reflective stripes negate the need for a safety belt so favored by Fobbits and the Sergeant Major Mafia alike. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to wear it to the chow hall after 0900.
Naturally, this article was tongue in cheek and should not be construed as a real news story. It is presented solely for its humor value, as limited as that may be.
My friend Mil Spec Monkey was hard at work running all over SHOT Show serving as videographer to the stars. He captured this video which gives you a great introduction to EOTAC’s Direct Action line.
EOTAC’s Fernando Cuelho showcases the new DA Recce Smock and Trousers, pointing out several unique features such as the napoleon style pockets on the chest that were designed to be large enough to accept empty magazines.

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.
