Firestorm Combat Shirt from ICE Tactical

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

From Integrated Combat Equipment comes the new Firestorm Combat Shirt. It features a 10″ zippered front as well as inset bicep pockets with zippered openings and velcro patches. The big story here is obviously the fabric. The entire shirt is made from a Berry Compliant 7.5oz Jersey knit unlike other combat shirts that combine knits and wovens. The material is a 71% Modacrylic, 24% FR Rayon, 5% Spandex blend that passes the vertical flame test for FR. Additionally, it has an anti-microbial treatment and a moisture management treatment meaning less stink. Berry compliant and available in any color as long as it’s MultiCam, sizes S-XXL. The fit is not as tight as other combat shirts.

So, to sum up: FR, lightweight, 100% knit, anti-microbial, and Berry Compliant. We have been waiting to write about these until they are actually in stock. Available for order now.

I/O Bio Contact 1 Pilot Suit

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Winter is right around the corner and I/O Bio presents the Contact 1 Pilot Suit to keep you warm and snugly. Nothing feels like a union suit and the Contact 1 Pilot Suit takes the design one step further by adding thumbholes and a hood. Naturally, they have retained the shoot-the-moon drop seat to accommodate those pesky calls of nature. But probably the best feature about the Pilot Suit is that it made from Merino wool and what’s not to love about Merino? It’s naturally comfortable against the skin, hypo-allergenic, no melt no drip, and anti-microbial and anti-bacterial.

TenCate Announces Enhanced Version of Defender M

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

TenCate has developed a new version of the FR Defender M fabric which enhances durability. It will be used on new production of the USMC’s Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) ensemble. Troops in Afghanistan have been particularly hard on their uniforms due to the austere, mountainous environment so the new fabric is a welcome addition to the combat uniform.
