FirstSpear Friday Focus: Top Gear List from our Team of Veterans

Friday, November 12th, 2021

Whether you’re a grunt warring through the suck or a weekend warrior training at the range, the gear that you train with needs to be on point.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, we asked our team of FirstSpear veterans for their favorites— here’s their top seven picks.

1 Woobie Quarter Zip— super warm and not bulky; staying warm in the field is crucial. These woobies are lightweight, moisture-wicking and are designed to keep you from hating life while standing post on cold nights. Whether you’re on the range or hitting the stand for hunting season, the ACM wool lineup is a must have for cold climate.

2 MultiMag Rapid Adjust Pocket— Mission requirements evolve, the rapid-adjust pocket holds everything the mission requires… from magazines to beer cans.

3 Boot Super Sock— Grunts know that blisters and wet feet suck, these merino wool socks keep your feet in the fight.

4 Padded Plate Backer— Wearing armor is never comfortable, these plate backers improve comfort and provide channels for more airflow.

5 Operator Glove— All hail the OG, there is always a trade off when wearing gloves, you lose dexterity and the ability to manipulate equipment and gear. The OG glove offers great dexterity, works with touch screens, and the merino wool is useable in both hot and cold conditions.

6 Wind Cheater— This iconic all American-made jacket offers great protection from weather elements, looks sharp and is crucial during cold weather. The pit zips keep you cool if you’re out rucking.

7 Hoodlum Hoodie— This is the most comfortable hoodie I’ve owned. It always seems to be the right amount of warmth, be it an early morning garage workout or hike in the spring.

This Friday we are focusing on an FS classic the Operator Glove. When maximum manipulation and tactility are required while protecting your digits consider the Operator Glove (OG) first!

• Super high dexterity leather palm (FS-HDLTM)
• Ultra lightweight and breathable

• 100% USA Berry Compliant materials with Core-Spun USA Merino Wool

When maximum manipulation and tactility are required while protecting your digits consider the Operator Glove (OG) first! Comprised of the most technologically advanced materials and modern construction details no corner is cut in this design. The trigger finger of the OG has an advanced patent pending design that will still give excellent transmission of trigger feel, magazine release and other key weapons functions.

In order to achieve this amazing level of peak performance, the OG utilizes extremely light, thin materials which by their very nature will not stand up to extremely long periods of hard abuse but will perform through several mission-focused cycles.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: NEW Sage Green Stratton Flannel in 4 Ounce

Friday, October 1st, 2021

These flannels are 100% American made in a lighter 4 ounce weight. Premium construction with oversized breast pockets, exterior hang loop, and two button closure on forearm and cuff. They are machine washable and oversized to accommodate 3% shrinkage after a few cycles in the wash. Please note that the Stratton Flannel is an oversized design, so step down one size from your normal T-shirt size for a standard fit.

• Offered in 4oz and 9oz weight
• Two oversized chest pockets
• Long sleeve with button cuffs
• Machine washable
• Made in the USA

“This is a heavy duty, no BS kind of flannel. It makes anything store bought look cheap and flimsy. On anything but the absolute of coldest days, a base layer and this flannel are plenty to keep you warm. And yes, everything that says size down is correct. I’m 5’7″ and 160lbs and the small is perfect on me after a wash or two.”

— Online Review (9 ounce Stratton Flannel)

“I have had this flannel for about a year and it is my go to fall and winter shirt. Quality is excellent. On par or better than Filson. Does run big. I’m 6ft 200lbs with a 34 in waist and generally wear an XL. I bought a large and dried it on hot and it fits well. Probably could get away with a medium for a really fitted look.”
