Admittedly, the Woodland camouflage caught my eye, but it made me consider that as organizations integrate females into their formations the need for additional modesty while changing clothing becomes more prudent.
The All The Way Poncho from RVCA offers just that. Essentially, it’s a large, poncho-shaped cotton towel that can be donned over your marops gear and there’s enough room to swap clothing underneath.

Prometheus Design Werx brings back their popular EDC Pant for Spring 2021. A full featured design with the EDC user in mind and styled for everyday wear from street, travel or trail. Constructed in the latest version of their 5.75oz, technical, 4-way stretch Guide Cloth for all season wear. The EDC Pant is PDW’s non-cargo pant style with a clean presentation, tailored fit, and designed for today’s active EDC user in mind. A total of 11 pockets to stash and organize as little or as many EDC items. Pocket Clip Docks™, dual no-twist custom made Delta-Rings for keychain-carabiner clip points, articulated knees, and their Hide-Away waistband pocket round out these pants’ features. Produced with industrial grade triple needle stitching on all major seams. Expertly cut and sewn in California, USA.
The EDC Pant by Prometheus Design Werx will be available in their proprietary Guide Cloth in All Terrain Brown and Universal Field Gray.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“We’re brought back our EDC Pant for Spring 2021. We took some extra time to update and upgrade this pant design, and in addition to the EDC pocket layout we’re know for, we used the latest version our popular Guide Cloth, that is now a 5.75oz weight for all season wear, and of course with 4-way stretch and DWR. The styling and presentation are even cleaner than before, and this pant features a tailored fit. It is trimmer than our other styles but not slim either. The combo of fit and the 4-way stretch Guide Cloth allows plenty of movement, comfort and it’s a great silhouette for everyday wear from street, travel and trail. Ample pockets will please any EDC user, and our updated belt loop layout was arranged at the request of some our specialized users which many others will also find useful. This pant is as versatile as our customers who use them and still make the EDC Pant right here in our home state of California.”
The EDC Pant in Guide Cloth will be available for $144.00 on Wednesday, May 12th, 2021 at 12:00 noon Pacific via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

JUPITER, FL, APRIL 22, 2021 — Serket, builders of intelligent clothing and equipment systems for the military and law enforcement communities, today introduced their Berry Compliant Merino Wool Graduated Compression Socks.
The new socks are part of a full-scale collection that includes PT/athletic, lightweight, mid-weight, and heavy weight offerings. The addition of the Compression Liner makes for a fully customizable layered system that can adapt to a variety of climatic and mission conditions. The Cushioned Graduated Compressions can be worn as a standalone sock in temperate to hot conditions and high-dewpoint environments where quick drying is a must.
Unlike most traditional compression socks with compression ranges of 8-15 mmHG, Serket’s compression socks feature a compression range of 15-20 mmHG, while still maintaining a high percentage of US Merino wool content (averaging 62%), bringing into harmony the benefits of high quality cushioned wool socks and moderate level compression technology.
In addition to the well documented benefits of high quality Merino Wool Socks, Graduated Compression Socks have a variety of benefits for the wearer, including:
* Supporting Muscles and Joints: Serket US Merino Wool Graduated Compression (MWGC) Socks can greatly help support the various muscles and joints.
* Aids in Recovery: Serket MWGC Socks increase circulation, carrying tired, nutrient-and oxygen-depleted blood cells away from overworked legs and feet and moving nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood cells towards the lower limbs. This works to repair muscles quicker and make them feel more refreshed.
* Increases Stamina: Serket MWGC Socks allow for more oxygen to be brought to limbs during strenuous activity, which reduces the need for the body to use lactate as a source of energy.
* Boosts Circulation: Serket MWGC Socks boost circulation throughout the body. Although the functionality may focus on the legs, the entire circulatory system is signaled to facilitate better circulation.
Serket’s line of Over-the-Calf US Merino Wool Compression Socks are available in the following models:
* Over-the-Calf Merino Wool Graduated Compression Liner – 15-20 mmHG
* Over-the Calf Merino Wool Cushioned Graduated Compression – 15-20 mmHG
The new Graduated Compression socks are 100% developed, sourced and made in the United States (Berry Compliant) and are available in Coyote Brown with sizes from small through extra-large.
