Skull & Bones Shemagh from TAD

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

TAD Gear has reintroduced their popular Skull and Bones pattern Shemaghs. I have had the Brown and OD versions since they came out. The TAD Shemagh is very well made and epitomizes the term Tacti-Cool. They are approximately 44″ x 44″ and made from 100% cotton. Since they are cotton I suggest washing in cold to avoid shrinkage.

Available in three new color schemes including Black with Black skulls, Grey with Black skulls, and Desert Tan with Black skulls, the new run of Shemaghs is available from Triple Aught Designs.

In addition to the PSD Nomex suit we recently wrote about Anson Tactical also offers an FR outer garment for Police and Military intervention operations.

Manufactured from FR Nomex III, the suits feature Kevlar reinforcement patches on knees, elbows, and groin. There is also an integral hood with ID holder with window on rear, flap neck closure with Velcro fastening. The ID holders with windows are found on each sleeve. The coveralls have knitted inner collar and wrist and elasticated waist band. Manufactured in the UK, the ATLAS SF Assault System is in use with European Special Forces and Police Intervention teams.

Garments are custom built based on user requirements and pricing is dependent on quantity, material weight, and pocket options. The suits are available in Black, Dark Navy Blue, Desert Sand, and Olive Green.

More information is available here and here.

Icebreaker Base Layers

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Crafted from pure New Zealand Merino wool, Icebreaker makes the finest base layers I have used. Yes, I said “crafted”. The material is heaven and Merino naturally repels odors as well as being inherently FR. Additionally, it is breathable and like all wools insulates even when wet.

My favorite piece is the Boxer Brief. They are so comfortable that you can wear them all year round (preferably not the same pair). In addition to base layers they have also introduced mid and outer layers as well. Check them out.

Available in a variety of colors, they can be purchased here or from many fine outdoor retailers.

Swanndri

Monday, December 8th, 2008

When a Kiwi talks about a Swanndri you can almost see tears in his eyes. Woven from 100% pure NZ wool and weatherproofed using their ninety year old secret technique. The Bush Shirt is cut extra long with a generous side vent for ease of movement. Simplicity is key. There are no zippers in the time tested design. The Bush Shirt relies on a lace up front opening and button cuffs in addition to a buttoned chest pocket.

Available in sizes Small – 3X in Olive, Charcoal, Navy and Red w/Black check, or Blue w/Black check. At one time Swanndri Bush Shirts were actually available in NZ DPM.

The Bush Shirt is available online from Swanndri.
