Magpul Announces New DAKA Products

Friday, January 17th, 2020

Magpul has announced the following new DAKA products:

DAKA Volume Pouch

At three liters, the DAKA Volume Pouch offers double the volume of the Medium DAKA but in a similar footprint. That extra space is thanks to the bellows which also allows it to stand upright in its own.

The wide mouth and water-resistant zippered opening allow the user to insert and remove items with one hand without having to hold it open with the other.

Colors:
BLK, FDE, ODG, GRY

DAKA Field Tray Small and Large

The Field Tray is similar to valet trays in that it stores flat and has snaps on each of the four corners to raise the sides. However, the Field Tray is made from the robust DAKA material which is resistant to Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants, making it a great space to perform weapon maintenance. Magpul made it even better by adding a magnet in the bottom to keep small metallic parts from rolling away.

Available in BLK and FDE.

Small Dimensions
Flat: 11.50” x 7.50”
Tray: 9.00” x 5.00”

Large Dimensions
Flat: 11.50” x 11.50”
Tray: 8.75” x 8.75”

Magpul DAKA Everyday Folding Wallet

The minimalist Everyday Folding Wallet has an ID slot, but you access it from the rear. It will hold up to seven cards securely with an additional external pocket allows for quick access to business cards or folded cash.

Helikon-Tex at SHOT Show 2020

Monday, January 13th, 2020

Helikon-Tex will have a booth (BOOTH 7605 at Level 1) at SHOT Show 2020. It’ll be even bigger than last year (taking up 18 square meters) and full of brand new tactical and outdoor gear most of which will be presented to public for the very first time.

Brand new products show for the first time at SHOT Show 2020:

Helikon-Tex Covert M-65 Jacket

The M-65 jacket is an instantly recognizable and iconic garment. Born in the Vietnam War era, it soon became a cult classic. Helikon-Tex has reinvented this great garment – creating a superb urban jacket. Made of durable DuraCanvas® fabric, it protects against light rain and wind – keeping you warm on those colder days.

Helikon-Tex Competition MultiGun Rig®

Competition shooting is getting more and more popular. During any match, success is based on multiple factors, as not only is your fitness important, but also your weapon and most importantly – your gear. This is why Helikon-Tex have created a Competition Multigun Rig for shooters. To make it as versatile as possible Helikon-Tex based it on the gun belt with an additional modular belt sleeve and micro chest rig. All are fully scalable and configurable, allowing you to create the exact platform that you need.

Helikon-Tex MCDU Combat Shirt® – NyCo Ripstop

MCDU is Helikon-Tex’s approach to combat uniforms for more dynamic operations. The torso of this shirt is made of highly breathable, lightweight TopCool fabric, while the sleeves and stand-up collar are made of a durable NYCO mix. Bicep zippered pockets will hold most small essentials like a target photo or a GPS.

Helikon-Tex Pilgrim Anorak Jacket® – DuraCanvas®

Helikon-Tex have designed the Pilgrim Anorak Jacket® for demanding outdoor activities in dynamically changing weather conditions. Based on zipped “kangaroo” construction, which has proven itself for decades – it has been clearly refined to meet the expectations of modern travelers, while still hitting the aesthetics of the “old guard”.

Helikon-Tex Ambassadors at SHOT Show 2020

You will be able to discuss all new gear with Helikon-Tex Ambassadors e.g. Dave Canterbury (Bushcraft & Survival expert), Maciej Stebel (Deputy Sheriff) who will be present at Helikon-Tex booth 7605 each day of the SHOT show at 10:00-11:30 AM and 2:00-3:30 PM.

Whiskey Two Four’s Belt 00

Thursday, January 9th, 2020

WTF’s Belt 00 is 1.5″ wide and works equally well as a loop lined inner belt or as an everyday belt.

Belt 00 is made in the USA from milspec, Berry compliant webbing, hook, loop, and hardware. Belt 00 uses heavy SCUBA webbing as a base. SCUBA webbing offers a superb combination of stiffness and flexibility for a stable, comfortable belt.

Belt 00 uses a steel G-hook for a low profile, secure closure that won’t create a pressure point under an outer belt. Low profile, unobtrusive, VELCRO® USA One-Wrap straps keep everything tidy. A 1″ webbing strap allows for about 2″ of adjustment should cold weather clothing or eating too much ice cream necessitate.

Belt 00 adjusts from 28″ (71cm) – 42″ (106cm), 5.3oz / 150g

Available in black, ranger green, coyote brown, wolf grey, M81 woodland, A-TACS iX, and Multicam Classic, Black, Arid, Alpine, and Tropic.

Strike Industries Colby Belt

Wednesday, January 8th, 2020

The Strike Industries Colby Belt is designed for comfortable wear for extended periods.

One of the main customizable features of the Colby Belt rig is the ability to symmetrically adjust the length on both sides without having the loopback areas sit where the kidneys are, move. This is important because the majority of the weight distribution should sit on your hips for better ergonomics.

There are also eight Velcro straps that allow the user a level of modularity and retention based on their desired loadout.
