Black Palm Syndicate has introduced a ‘sanitized’ version of their popular MultiCam softshell ballcap. Treated with Schoeller Nanosphere to keep out the weather, they’ve left out the Velcro field on the front and streamlined the crown just a little. This FlexFit cap is offered in Small/Medium and Large/XLarge.

When 215 Gear designed the ELW Operators Hat, they thought they had the lightest possible configuration of a tactical hat. But then they came up with the Ultimate Operators Hat. Integrating a lightweight soft shell base layer with their 215 Custom lightweight mesh they added a sweatband made of performance sweat wicking material and and the MultiCam Velcro. Unbelievably, it weighs 1 ½ oz. One size fits all. Made in USA!

Duro’s Omega is a polyester mesh which offers a high tear strength matrix featuring a 2mm hole diameter. This means high breathability and the ability to look through fabric for camouflage applications. This product is commonly used for concealing vehicles as well as creating lightweight and high strength tactical gear. One place you will see it is on the new helmet covers from Crye Precision and FirstSpear. However, one of the best applications we have seen is Tactical Concealment Manufacturing Corp’s MCM Cobra with Hood which is a ghillie foundation.
Finished Width – 58 inches cuttable approximately
Finished Weight – 8 oz/yd² approximately
Fiber Content – 100% polyester
Mesh Holes – 10 per inch both directions

Tactical Concealment’s MCM Cobra with Hood is a great ghillie foundation. It’s cloak-like design is intended for use as an “Assaulter’s Ghillie” and can be worn in conjunction with combat equipment such as armor vests and load carrying systems as well as low profile backpacks. Additionally, the hood is oversized to accommodate a helmet. Notice that the sleeves are short so that it won’t impede your ability to operate your weapon or other equipment. Finally, Tactical Concealment has bartacked a grid of 550 parachute cord along the hood, arms and back of the garment in order to add garnish and customize the Cobra for your own use.

Intelligent Armour was approached by UKSF to develop a cover for the MICH helmet equipped with an Ops-Core VAS Shroud and Ops-Core ARC Rails. What they came up with looks fairly familiar. It is manufactured from a 2-Way stretch fabric and MultiCam mesh sides with printed Velcro loop on the top and rear.
