At NTOA’s annual meeting in Richmond, VA Mayflower Research & Consulting, LLC gave us a sneak peek of a version of their GEN IV UW Chest Rig manufactured from LiteLok, a material created by Glen Raven Technical Fabrics and offered in MultiCam by DURO Industries. Weighing 30% less than traditional 500D nylon, LiteLok offers outstanding abrasion resistance and is often seen in soft armor carriers.

The GEN IV carries 4 ea 5.56mm magazines, 2 pistol magazines, up to 2 small radios (PRC-152/MBITR) and also features 2 GP pockets.

TacHacker – Duro Overruns

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Occasionally, we get inquiries from those looking for a few yards of this or that so that they can take on a do-it-yourself project. There are plenty of places to source fabric, but one that everyone who manufactures soft goods should check is Duro Textiles, LLC. They hold the license for MultiCam and print a wide variety of patterns on even more fabrics. Check this link for overrun offerings.

The torso and monkey paw cuffs of the Combat Shirt uses the Polartec Power Dry FR with sleeves and yoke made from the new lightweight TenCate fabric recently adopted by the US Army. Alternatively, if FR is not required, 50/50 NYCO will be used in place of the TenCate fabric. The cuffs can be turned under when not needed. The torso fabric extends up into the armpit area to enhance breathability and range of motion. It also features inset zipped sleeve pockets with Velcro patches and a left forearm poacket as well as a mandarin zipped collar.

Despite a low profile silhouette the pants still offer 11 pockets. Optional cord loops after the ability to dummy cord critical items and a semi-elastic waistband make for comfort when layers are added or subtracted. A flush hammer loop to the left rear handles knives or other tools. Flat rear and front thigh pockets help reduce bulk.

These will make a great alternative combat ensemble for those who do not use the standard Army and Marine uniform options. I’ve not even touched on all of the features so be sure to look for more info at www.782gear.com.

Beyond Tactical offers something NO ONE else does; custom tactical clothing. Not only can you specify fabric and to a certain degree pocket configuration, but most importantly, size.

Here is Beyond Tactical’s authorized version of USSOCOM’s Protective Combat Uniform Level 9 garment. This garment was custom made specifically for a GSS Gear. Beyond took her measurements and crafted a garment that fits her 5’2″ frame. Fit is of primary concern for Beyond and they have put a great deal of work in their patterning to ensure that the garment moves with and not against the wearer.

Vertx Smock Sneak Peek

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Vertx has had a smock in development for some time but production models should hit the market in Fall. Just in time for winter in Afghanistan! As you can see from the articulated design, stowaway hood, and pocket layout, this is very much a modern take on a traditional item. But Vertx has updated more than just the basic concept. Vertx will be offering their take on the smock in a synthetic material called Storm which is the same fabric used in the Gunfighter Storm Shirt. It features a 40D face fabric and is anti-microbial. Naturally, it’s MultiCam.

Australians Issue Mystery Ranch 3-Day Pack

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

As part of the new Soldier Combat Ensemble, the Australian Army is issuing the Mystery Ranch 3-Day Assault Pack as their Medium pack. The pack’s bolsters make it compatible with the Tiered Body Armor System. The pack was selected for issue after a competitive trial conducted by 8/9 RAR and the 2nd Cdo Regt’s Development Cell. Although Australian Army officials say there is need for at least 6 separate packs, they feel they may be able to get along with just one frame system.
