New Hooded Field Shirt v2 – ACM Base 150

When it comes to gear, only the best will do. That’s why our updated take on the popular Hooded Field Shirt is the perfect choice. Made right here in the USA from American wool, you’ll experience long-lasting comfort that will stand up to any challenge you throw at it.

Don’t be fooled by its lightweight feel – the ACM Base 150 wool fabric offers unparalleled performance and durability. Updated with 55% Lenzing, 33% wool and 12% nylon, the new Hooded Field Shirt offers the perfect blend of synthetic and wool. Features include a slightly larger hood, low profile cuffs, and thumb holes.

Use it as a base layer or standalone, no matter which way you choose, it will be a year-round go-to. The moisture-wicking properties of wool, means it’s perfect in all seasons. Whether its protection from the sun or a base layer in inclement weather, the Hooded Field Shirt gets it done. Available sizes are S-3XL and colors include Heather Grey, Black, Charcoal and Commando.

FirstSpear is proud to partner with Texollini in the creation of the Hooded Field Shirt.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Socks

Friday, September 29th, 2023

We understand that having high-quality gear is essential to your performance and safety. From helmets to tactical boots, every component plays an important role. In today’s Friday Focus, we’re tapping into a sometimes overlooked topic, socks… specifically, two FirstSpear fan favorites, the Everyday Sock and the Boot Super Sock, which have been no stranger to the most elite warriors on the face of the planet.

The Everyday Sock is engineered to provide you with the ultimate comfort and ventilation. It’s made of a unique blend of materials that allow your feet to breathe naturally, so you don’t have to worry about sweat getting trapped inside. The extra-light design on the top of the sock helps dissipate heat, allowing you to wear it comfortably, for longer periods.

The Boot Super Sock combines the best aspects of durability, comfort, and breathability in one design. The sock’s naturally antimicrobial and highly breathable qualities make it perfect for wearing under your tactical boots. Its thicker and offers additional protection against blisters and hot spots. Like the Everyday Sock, this sock is proudly made in America with U.S. materials.

Deets

They are made of a blend of merino wool, nylon, lycra, and spandex. Merino wool is known for its warmth, whereas nylon gives the socks excellent abrasion resistance. Lycra and spandex help retain the sock’s shape, even after extended use. As a result, the materials can withstand the wear and tear of daily use, providing you with long-lasting comfort and performance.

Both socks thrive in tactical and field environments as well as everyday wear at home. Whether you’re MIL/LEO, first responder, or an outdoor enthusiast, these socks will provide you with the comfort and performance you need during long hours on your feet.

Combat Flip Flops Releases the 100% Afghan Cashmere Shemagh

Wednesday, September 13th, 2023

This 100% Afghan Cashmere Shemagh is sourced and loomed in Kabul, Afghanistan. Prior to the fall of Kabul, Combat Flip Flops worked to set up a full supply chain in Afghanistan to support cashmere goat herders, workers to harvest the material, and looms to weave the finest scarf on the market.

Two weeks prior to the fall of Afghanistan, Combat Flip Flops received the first samples, then everything fell apart…

” ‘SURRENDER’ IS NOT A RANGER WORD.”

While the rest of the world gave up on our Afghan partners, Combat Flip Flops didn’t. After two years of navigating every problem you could imagine in Afghanistan while enduring a significant tactical pause, the Kabul team is finally back to work.
