ORSWM 20 – Alpha Industries

Thursday, January 30th, 2020

As I walked around the Outdoor Retailer show floor, I ran across a booth that looked like a surplus store?.

It was Alpha Industries, longtime military clothing contractor.

If you’re looking for flight jacket, or an M65, or even a heavy duty N3B parka, they still make them and they’re available for commercial sale.

ORSWM 20 – Wild Things White Out Overwhites

Thursday, January 30th, 2020

Wild Things has introduced a new overwhite system called White Out.

Consisting of the White Out Overwhite Jacket and Pant, these 70D MultiCam Alpine shells are lightweight and pack into a small ball for storage. They are joined by helmet, pack and Knuckle Roaster covers.

The White Out Overwhite Jacket features full length pit zips which allow you to get to your equipment underneath.

Likewise, the White Out Overwhite Pant has full length side zips to facilitate donning and doffing as well as a two-way front relief zipper.

The two front zippered patch pockets are situated low enough that they are still accessible while wearing a climbing harness.

Finally, the instep at the lower hem is reinforced with double fabric to mitigate abrasion.

Available in sizes XS-XXXL.

SHOT Show 20 – Helikon-Tex Covert M-65

Thursday, January 30th, 2020

Helikon-Tex transitioned from a strictly surplus business to making their own clothing when the demand for the M-65 Field Jacket outpaced their access to surplus versions.

At SHOT Show 20, they showed a prototype of a new version called the Covert M-65 which will hit the market this summer. Made of DuraCanvas, it features a more modern look, including shoulder caps to deal with packstrap wear, new pocket flaps, a breakaway zipper, and several new pockets including 30 round magazine pockets at the rear and internal hidden pockets.

Look for it in OD, Coyote and Black this summer.
