Darley Defense Days – Line of Fire

Tuesday, June 11th, 2013

I’ve been writing about Line of Fire and their TEGS system for several years. The one I want to mention today is the new Wookie which is an FR winter glove.

The Wookie is part what will eventually be a three part system and is intended for cold weather use.

Every glove comes with a 36″ roll of TEGS tape so you can modify your gear. Additionally, LoF offers TEGS squares. LoF offers touchscreen compatibility as an option on any glove with digital goatskin palm.

There are lots of new things coming from LoF so stay tuned.

The Talos LT Halfshell In Action – Courtesy of Haley Strategic

Sunday, June 9th, 2013

We recently recommended the Arc’teryx LEAF Talos LT Halfshell and we just got these photos from Haley Strategic Partners that give you some good all around shots of the Talos LT to help you get a better feel for it. As it turns out there are a whole lot of other great products in these photos like carbines from Bravo Company USA featuring parts from B5 Systems as well as armor carriers and pouches from Mayflower Research and Consulting along with holsters from G-Code. You may also notice a lot of Kryptek camouflage in these photos including some cool custom combat pants from Australia’s Platatac, not to mention some interesting gloves from Outdoor Research.
