P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts from UF PRO Uses New Flex/Waist System to Create Tailored Fit; Available Starting Today

Tuesday, June 15th, 2021

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (16 June 2021)—UF PRO today announced that it has rolled out an innovative pair of tactical shorts promising greater comfort, better performance, and a sharper look thanks to its use of the company’s new Flex/Waist System.

Available for purchase as of this morning, the debuting P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts will be offered in four solid colours: Black, Brown Grey, Kangaroo, or Navy Blue. Additionally, the shorts can be obtained in the camouflage patterns of MultiCam or MultiCam Black.

The P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts start at €129 per pair. They may be bought online at the UF PRO website or from the gear-maker’s brick-and-mortar outlet in Trzin.

A key selling point of the P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts is its Flex/Waist System, which enables the garment to conform smartly to the shape of the wearer’s waist.

The Flex/Waist System also improves comfort by allowing these shorts to completely fill the gap that normally exists between the inside of the waistband and the curvature at the wearer’s lower back. Elimination of that space is accomplished by strategically positioned 3D pad.

At the heart of the Flex/Waist System are side stretch-panels. These allow for expandable width adjustments without the possibility of creasing the fabric and they work with the 3D pads to prevent skin irritations.

Included with the Flex/Waist System is an integrated under-belt with a reinforced buckle that prevents the under-belt from turning sideways and fixates the waist width, preventing elastic side panels from overstretching.

Other notable aspects of the P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts include:

– Construction from lightweight, breathable, fast-drying NyCo materials that contribute to improved comfort and performance in hot summer weather;

– Side-pocket ventilation openings covered with anti-mosquito mesh (each of the two side pockets is spacious and accessible via a vertical side zipper);

– Variety of pockets (in addition to the large side pockets there are also hand pockets, a small strap-secured gear pocket atop the side pockets, a pen pocket, a knife pocket, and two back pockets);

– Large Belt loops and the under-belt buckle are reinforced with CORDURA® fabric.

Air Force Coins Official Maintenance Duty Uniform, Adds Immediate Wear of Tactical OCP Caps

Monday, June 14th, 2021

Air Force commanders of units with aircraft maintenance, industrial and other labor intensive Air Force Specialty Codes will have the option to authorize wear of a standardized, maintenance duty uniform, also referred to as coveralls, which may be worn on a day-to-day basis upon publication of the updated AFI 36-2903 anticipated for August 2021.

The career fields authorized to wear the MDU are: 2A, 2F, 2G, 2M, 2P, 2S, 2T, 2W, 3E, 3D, 1P.

“The MDU idea was presented to the 101st uniform board in November 2020 as a way to help increase readiness and timeliness from the work center to the flight line,” said Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass. “We are hoping this change will instill a sense of culture and inclusivity for our maintainers who work to keep the mission going 24/7.”

When authorized by commanders, the sage MDU will be unit funded and members will wear the basic configuration consisting of a nametape, service tapes and rank along with the higher headquarters patch on the left sleeve and a subdued U.S. flag and organizational patch on the right sleeve. The coyote brown t-shirt, OCP patrol or tactical cap, coyote brown or green socks, and coyote brown boots, are worn with the uniform. The MDU will not be utilized for office work environments, non-industrial or non-labor tasking, but is authorized for wear when transiting from home to duty location and all locations on installations. It must be worn in serviceable condition. Local coverall variants are still authorized but only in work centers and on the flight line.

Tactical OCP Cap

Additionally, immediate wear of some tactical OCP caps is authorized while the Air Force continues the acquisition process to complete this new uniform item. These are not yet available through AAFES.

Current tactical OCP caps may be worn if they are made entirely of OCP material or OCP material with a coyote brown mesh back. No other colors or combinations are authorized. The Velcro or sew-on spice brown name tape will be worn centered on the back of the caps. The only item authorized for wear on the front of the cap is rank for officers.

Officers will wear either pinned, sewn or Velcro spice brown rank insignia centered ½ inch on the front of the cap on an OCP background. Air Force first lieutenants and lieutenant colonels will wear black rank. Velcro on the hat should not exceed the size of the insignia. Chaplains may wear the chaplain occupational badge sewn-on and centered ½ inch above the visor.

Enlisted members will not wear rank insignia or a subdued flag on the cap, only a name tape on the back of the cap is authorized. The front of the cap must not have any Velcro or other items.

In addition, females are authorized to pull their bun or ponytail through the back of the tactical OCP cap.

Once the acquisition process is complete for the new uniform item, which is expected to take approximately a year, all other caps will be unauthorized.

At this time, Guardians will adhere to the uniform standards of the U.S. Air Force until the U.S. Space Force develops its own policy.

Note: Theater commanders prescribe the dress and personal appearance standards in the theater of operations.

Magpul Tejas Gun Belt – “El Original” Python

Sunday, June 13th, 2021

Magpul has introduced a limited edition version of their “El Original” belt made from Python.

Made in conjunction with the efforts of Trapper Mike, these belts are made from invasive Burmese Pythons harvested in the Florida Everglades. To learn more about Trapper Mike’s efforts, click here.

The python hides are tanned in Florida and then each unique belt is handcrafted in Texas. Magpul has added a 100% North American bullhide reinforcement to the python hide to create a belt with premium, comfortable stretch-and sag-free performance. It measures 1-1/2” wide and 1/4” thick, so it fits most belt loops and holsters comfortably. It’s finished off with their low-profile brushed antique-silver buckle.

Thyrm Introduces Desert Night Camouflage 2.0 Hat

Wednesday, June 9th, 2021

Sunnyvale, CA — At Thyrm, we’re all about innovative solutions to real-world problems. We realized there was a substantial need in the marketplace to defeat obsolete soviet-era night vision technology, especially for the front half of user’s heads. With no one innovating in this crucial segment of the market, we partnered with world-renowned designers to develop a next-generation solution that brings desert night camouflage squarely into the 1990s.

Our desert night camouflage pattern includes an upgraded grid resolution and our subtle Norse axe and gear logos that have been unscientifically proven to counteract hammer and sickle-based optics.

Like our other hats, this one is made completely in the USA, including a custom-printed cotton twill that is cut and sewn in Colorado.

We hope you have as much fun wearing this hat as we did designing it! And don’t forget to enjoy the fact that you’re supporting our small family business and many others here in our country.

Build: Mesh trucker, but with a mid-rise, medium structure build. No ten-gallon hats, and no foam front panels.

Camo Velcro Adjustment: Flip the hat around when you’re shooting with a camera or rifle and the fabric backing on the adjuster wicks sweat. No clammy plastic closures here.

No Top Button: Perfect for long muff sessions on the range
