Thursday, July 17th, 2014SOFIC 2014 – Evinrude 30MFE
Wednesday, May 28th, 2014
The 30MFE (Multi-Fuel Engine) is a 30 horse power model of the popular Evinrude outboard, used for years by maritime forces. This family of motors are the first outboard engines ever capable of running on multiple fuel types, including kerosene, JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, Jet A and Jet B as well as standard gasoline. Additionally, the 30 Horse Power model is going to be easier to man handle when afloat and configuring your boat after a successful RAMZ drop.

SOFIC 2014 – Paratech
Wednesday, May 21st, 2014Paratech has developed a new maritime damage control shoring system. The current state of the art consists of centrally located wooden shoring that must be measured and cut to size. The new Paratech Damage Control System is easier to use, offers considerably more strength then the traditional wood method and is will not succumb to fire threats like wood which will combust. Additionally, there are no mold or mildew threats or corrosion.
Recently adopted by a European Navy, the system has been deployed on their ships in various locations on the ship increasing reaction times.
Warrior West – Excel Wetsuits Launches Thermal Dry Celliant
Thursday, April 24th, 2014I got a chance to check out a prototype of the new Thermal Dry Celliant wetsuit from Excel during last Fall’s Uber University. I was impressed.
Excel has adopted an entirely new next-to-skin material provided by Celliant which offers heat reflective properties; very important for wetsuits. It also helps to mitigate diver fatigue.
In addition to the new material story, Excel also is the exclusive offerer of Crocodile color from Arc’teryx.
These new suits also incorporate design features normally found in surf suits meaning more flexibility for these dive suits. Once again, very helpful for combat divers. They are offering these in 4 thicknesses – 3.5mil, 5.4 mil, 7.6 mil and 8.76 mil. Offered in full suits, shorties, farmer johns and hoods.
Made in USA in Hale Iwa, Hawaii. Available now.

Warrior West – Sneak Peek – DUI Maritime Insertion Go Bag
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014
Diving Unlimited International shared a glimpse of their new Maritime Go Bag. It’s a small dry bag designed to hold a pistol, NVGs or other items that need to be handy yet waterproof.
DUI has utilized a different manufacturing approach that integrates an insert that is waterproofed along the edges rather than sewing each component through the waterproof membrane and then waterproofing each stitch. This approach helps control weight and cost.
The Maritime Go Bag incorporates a waterproof main zipper that extends around the sides of the bag for a more generous opening as well as a separate inflation valve. It’s also PALS compatible and offers belt loops to increase versatility.
Coming within the month.

Monday, March 10th, 2014Watershed has been producing the SOF Waterproof Bag System in both SEAL and SWCC variants. The SEAL version consists of 5 bags and the SWC version, just 3. Fairly recently, the NSW had Watershed update the kits.
First up, they’ve updated the Large Pack Cover to the Kodiak V2. The waterproof zipper now runs North/South making it easier to get into and these will now be stocked at SOFSA and can be requisitioned by authorized users in conjunction with a Granite Gear Chief Patrol Pack.
This is the new liner for the issue 3-Day Assault Pack by Mystery Ranch. It integrates a roll top closure and inflation tube. In fact, inflation tubes are standard on the entire set.
The new addition is a Mil-Spec version of the popular Ocoee waterproof duffel. It integrates belt loops and can be worn in front, around the waist, for water jump ops.
Additionally, they have updated the Pro-Mask Bag to accommodate the M53 Mask/ It retains the drop leg carry strap.
Not shown is the Weapon Bag.
