Massif Launches Inversion Base Layers with New Fabric Technology

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2020

Massif Team Creates New Flame-Resistant Base Layer Fabric Blend with Comfort and Performance at the Forefront
ASHLAND, Ore. – September 2, 2020 – Massif, a world leader in performance clothing for the United States Military, today announced the launch of its new Inversion base layer line, made with an advanced tri-blend fabric developed by the in-house textile team at Massif.

The new Inversion products are the perfect complement to the existing Massif base layer assortment; they are engineered to provide unparalleled performance across multiple environments with the flame-resistant protection you’ve come to know and count on from Massif.

The specially blended yarn plus the addition of spandex generates improved range of motion, incomparable next-to-skin softness, and extraordinary recovery for wash durability with no unsightly “bag outs.”

Sweat is rapidly wicked away from the body through a superior moisture-management system scientifically engineered for faster dry times. This results in a highly breathable garment that allows the wearer to fully focus on the mission. To top it all off, industry-leading pill resistance combined with an advanced antimicrobial platform significantly boosts long-term wearability.

“Our customers have repeatedly asked us to create an extraordinary base layer at a competitive price,” said Darci Knobel, Vice President of Customer Experience. “Our Textile and Technology team, in collaboration with Apparel Design and Development, rose to the challenge for the launch of our Inversion Lightweight and Midweight Base Layers. One touch and you’ll be sold.

A few cycles of wear and you’ll be touting your new favorite base layer.”

The flame-resistant Inversion base layers are comfortable, affordable and mission ready. Inversion is offered in several colorways, including: Tan 499 and Tan 498 on the shelf today; as well as Black and Navy coming in late 2020. The line comes in lightweight t-shirts, long-sleeve crews and bottoms, as well as midweight long-sleeve crews and bottoms.

VERTX Announces New Addition To Low-Profile Apparel

Tuesday, September 1st, 2020

Paratus Hoody Expands EDC Ready Outerwear Offering

Cincinnati, Ohio – Vertx®, a leading manufacturer of low-profile tactical apparel and accessories, is excited to announce the launch of the Paratus Hoody. From a mountain trail to trailing a person of interest, the Paratus blends into its surroundings as well as it mirrors the wearer’s movements and activity level. Whether it’s deployed as outerwear or under a shell jacket, the Paratus can be worn almost year-round and is indispensable for changing up appearance and silhouette. Available in three subdued colorways, Blue Surge, Canopy Green and Tarmac, the Paratus is now available online at vertx.com and in-store. Customers can find their nearest dealer using the Vertx® store locator at vertx.com/store-locator.

“We are always striving to continue to add new and innovative pieces to our lines,” said Denny Bogard, GM/VP of Vertx. “The Paratus does just that. On the surface it fits the bill of your classic pullover hoody, but underneath it’s built with the features our end-user needs to carry comfortably whether it’s for work or everyday.”

Designed, cut and constructed for comfort with a regular fit that’s ready for active environments, the Paratus is resistant to wear to ensure long-term service without acquiring a ragged appearance. The internal AbrasionGuard™ lining protects the fleece shell from friction and snags and reduces printing from CCW and EDC gear. The hoody’s drop-back hem assures belt and lower back coverage during strenuous activities and its classic pullover design virtually eliminates drafts and provides added warmth whether it’s worn as the inner or outer layer. The large front kangaroo pocket is handy for keeping essentials at the ready. It also conceals a hidden zippered pass-through that provides discreet and quick access to critical gear located on the belt or mounted inside the waistband. The three-piece fitted hood has flatlock seams for maximum comfort and can be adjusted for the weather or to enhance comms concealment with a drawcord.

White Out Overwhites from Wild Things – The New Heat for the Snow

Thursday, August 27th, 2020

Travel to Vail, Colorado and you’ll find a 13’ tall ‘Ski Trooper’ monument honoring the formation of the Tenth Mountain Division. Decked out with skis and old-school Overwhites – the Ski Troopers of the Tenth, and the Finnish that inspired them, might be seen as founding fathers of Overwhites in the military.

And if the Tenth represented the introduction of Overwhites to the military, it could be said that 1969’s ‘Where Eagles Dare’ and an Overwhites clad Clint Eastwood was Hollywood’s introduction of Overwhites to the masses.

Fast-forward: times have changed, and so have White Out Overwhites®. Still a favorite with select military units, as well as Hollywood, Overwhites provide concealment when the snow flies – deployed, or on the screen.

 

When there’s a need for Overwhites today, military units, the brands and community that support them, as well as Hollywood, all call Wild Things:

Varusteleka – Särmä Yellow Merino Hoodie

Wednesday, August 26th, 2020

Varusteleka’s Särmä merino wool hoodie is now available in Yellow.

Made from Merino wool, the Särmä Hoodie features:

Two handwarmer pockets (volume about one wine bottle each) and a kangaroo pocket on the back, which can be accessed from either side, good place for storing gloves, hats, and other accessories. On the left sleeve, you’ll find a zippered pocket, roomy enough for any smartphone (iPhone 6 Plus, Oneplus One or Samsung Note 2/3/4 etc.). Velcro on the sleeve pocket.

Slim fit, with long hem. Quality zipper on the front, with a flap on the backside to prevent it from making contact with the skin if you’re not wearing anything under this. The collar is so high when zipped up that you really don’t need a scarf of neck tube or whatever. The hood has drawcord tightening and is suitably roomy, but not overly so – it works as an underlayer when worn with a helmet during cold weather. Thumbholes on the sleeve cuff.

New, three-piece hood.

Offered in a variety of colors.

There is also a ladies version.
