What do you think of these EXFIL Bump Helmets in Orange by Team Wendy? It’s a great color for MAROPS use as well as other applications such as SAR. These aren’t the new EXFIL LTP for Lightweight Tactical Polymer. Notice they don’t have the stylized VAS Shroud found on the EXFIL LTP. Exfil LTP you ask? Well, you obviously didn’t read our story from SOFIC.
Avon Protection has expanded their role in the market by introducing the Morpheus semi-closed rebreather from recently acquired VR Technology.
Designed for use by divers who are involved in shallow water work (<40m/130'), it is available in single gas (nitrox) or dual gas (nitrox/oxygen) changeover configurations. Avon-Protection.com
The UDT Vest design hasn’t changed since WWII but recently, they updated the fitting for the CO2 cartridge to a more modern component. Turns out, nobody wanted to make the old metal ones anymore. There’s talk of a whole new design but so far it’s just talk and these still have to be hand manufactured just like in days of old.
Mustang Survival has introduced a new under suit designed to be worn beneath a combat uniform. It’s so new, they don’t even have a name for it. The technology comes from the US Air Force Integrated Aircrew Ensemble and is meant for those that need a dry suit for that just in case scenario but doesn’t plan on getting in the water.
It integrates a new diagonal, low profile, lay flat, flexible, waterproof entry zipper as well as a relief zippered access. It weighs half the weight of a traditional dry suit and is a breathable design manufactured form a tri-laminate and incorporates stretch panels on the arms, lower back and knee. In order to offer a semi-custom fit, it is offered in 24 sizes. Finally, you can patch small holes in 30 minutes or less and repair seals.
Part number is MSD406.
You’ve heard us refer to a shade of Grey as ‘MAS Grey’ but some of you may not know where it comes from. It’s the shade of the Maritime Assault Suit manufactured by dry suit manufacturer Kokatat. For the past decade Kokotat has been making the NSW issue MAS although ironically, they refer to the color of the suit as Alpha Green or Sepia.
Many features now considered standard for military dry suits were first integrated on the MAS such as pockets that replicate combat uniforms.
ZipperMend is a cool DIY fix for a broken zipper pull. Granted, many of you are going to tell me how you use 550 on all your zipper pulls and that’s fine. But others are going to have garments and bags that they don’t want 550 on. And this is where the ZipperMend comes in. Available in Black, Silver, and Antique Brass. ZipperMend works like a scissors with a central pivot. You simple close the loop around your zipper slide and voila; fixed!

Hyperstealth just released this statement:
Breaking News: Hyperstealth can now print short runs of 1000 Denier Coated Cordura Nylon Fabric with or without Polyurethane Coating. This is the material most often used for Molle gear, rucksacks (backpacks), duffle bags, vests and chest rigs…
The material in 1000d or 500d will initially only be available for U.S. Special Forces through our Ghostex series of patterns.
The photo shows a sample from our printer of the New Zealand Army’s new Multi Terrain Camouflage Uniform (MCU pattern) a Hyperstealth design which is scheduled to replace their current patterns this Spring.
This pattern beat Multicam in the New Zealand Army Field Trials, Multicam did not even make their finals proving that Digital Pixel Camouflage when done correctly is superior to non-pixelated patterns.
