OpEx 21 – Urban Tactical Offers UF PRO In Canada
Tuesday, October 5th, 2021OpEx 21 – Woolly Pully
Tuesday, October 5th, 2021I’m told the venerable Woolly Pully is featured in the upcoming Bond movie and demand is once again up. I’ve always loved them, having received my first sweater, a child’s version of the RAF issue sweater, from my dad when I was a kid which he purchased from a NAAFI during a TDY to the UK in the late 70s. Since then, I’ve owned a few of these so-called Commando Sweaters. Some were purchased and the others traded for, but always fond memories.
Parabellum Prime has the real deal from their British manufacturer. These are the same wool models you’ll remember, in Black, Green and Grey.
OpEx 21 – Grayman & Company
Monday, October 4th, 2021Parabellum Prime hosted a Grayman & Company mannequin during OpEx which gave a good idea of the quality of their custom tailored suits for low viz ops and protective detail personnel.
Standard features include such necessities as cut resistant sleeves and hidden ID panels, Action back and quick draw front button.
OpEx 21 – Vertx
Monday, October 4th, 2021Vertx’s sister brand is Flying Cross which not only provides dress uniforms for the US military but is also a very well respected blue goods brand, manufacturing Law Enforcement uniforms.
They’ve offered the Dutyguard HT Pullover for several years which is popular with LEOs who wear external armor vests as part of their uniform. It’s kind of a Combat Shirt but with fleece-lined pockets high up on the chest which can be accessed via the arm holes of the vest.
The Hybrid Technology Pullover features waterproof, breathable shell fabric throughout the shoulder and chest area that provides a safeguard from the elements, coupled with knit stretch performance fabric along the torso to shed light rain and a 1/4 front zipper for ventilation. It’s offered in Black, LAPD Navy and OD Green, sizes XSmall – 5XLarge.
Due to its popularity, they’ve introduced an insulated version called the HT+ for cold weather wear. Same sizing but only offered in Black and LAPD Navy.
OpEx 21 – Point6
Monday, October 4th, 2021Point6 makes my favorite Merino wool socks and they exhibited on the Parabellum Prime booth at OpEx.
In addition to socks they also manufacture Merino baselayers. Up until now they’ve only been available in Black but they recently did a run in Tan which is very close to Tan 499 (Coyote). They feature flat seams, tape hang slot and Raglan sleeves (for the top).

“This is a heavy duty, no BS kind of flannel. It makes anything store bought look cheap and flimsy. On anything but the absolute of coldest days, a base layer and this flannel are plenty to keep you warm. And yes, everything that says size down is correct. I’m 5’7″ and 160lbs and the small is perfect on me after a wash or two.”
— Online Review (9 ounce Stratton Flannel)
“I have had this flannel for about a year and it is my go to fall and winter shirt. Quality is excellent. On par or better than Filson. Does run big. I’m 6ft 200lbs with a 34 in waist and generally wear an XL. I bought a large and dried it on hot and it fits well. Probably could get away with a medium for a really fitted look.”

Delta ComPac Jacket is Newest Release from UF PRO; Highly Compressible Winter Thermal Insulation Jacket
Friday, September 24th, 2021TRZIN, SLOVENIA (23 Sept. 2021)—UF PRO today announced it will begin selling a new tactical winter jacket—the Delta ComPac—on 7 Oct., just a few months before the freezing weather begins sweeping down.
A key feature of the Delta ComPac jacket is its ability to easily fold into its own pocket so that when stowed in a backpack it consumes little space. This makes it convenient to stow the jacket everywhere so that it’s always at the ready. Beyond its small form-factor, the lightweight jacket is also noteworthy for its ability to keep wearers comfortably warm in bitter-cold conditions.
The jacket is constructed with a water-repellent, wind-resistant face fabric and is lined with high-performance G-LOFT® thermal-insulation filling. Incorporated with the jacket’s design is UF PRO’s unique Hood/Harness system. The system lets the jacket’s hood precisely follow side-to-side rotations of the head, for an unimpeded view of their surroundings. The problem with conventional hoods is they block wearers’ line of sight by continuing to face forward when the head is turned, UF PRO said.
The Delta ComPac features insulated pockets for the hands and a pen-holding pocket secured with hook-and-loop fastener fabric—these are in addition to the large inner pocket for stowing the folded jacket.
Another Delta ComPac attribute is the jacket’s waist adjusters. These optimise comfort as well as styling by permitting wearers to define how tightly or loosely the new outerwear conforms to their body shape.
The Delta ComPac tactical winter jacket—available in Black or Brown-Grey—is priced at 189€.
