Father’s Day Gift Idea – Tactical Grilling

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

We’ve extolled the virtues of Tactical Grilling before, but now they have an all new website and even more kick ass products so we thought, what with Father’s Day coming up, it would be a good idea to put the word out. Tactical Grilling is really gaining in popularity as you can see from this photo featuring “America’s Chefs” outfitted in Tactical Grilling kit on their recent trip to GITMO.

Their Tactical Apron is PALS compatible. In addition to adding any of your own pouches, they offer the Tactical Spatula Sheath as well as the Tactical Beer Shingle. Aprons and pouches are available in UCP, MultiCam, Coyote, Woodland, LE and Fire. That’s right, Tactical Grilling listened and added colors to show your LE or Fire pride.

Tactical Grilling products are Made in USA.

Crye to Develop New Camo Pattern for Australia

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Last Fall, Australian Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare announced that they would be adopting MultiCam uniforms for their troops deploying to Afghanistan. He also made mention of a deal in the works with Crye Precision to develop an Australia specific derivative similar to what Crye did for the UK when they produced Multi Terrain Pattern (MTP).

According to Defence Materiel Organisation chief executive Dr Stephen Gumley, the first 5000 sets of the new MultiCam uniforms are being issued to troops in Afghanistan. Australian SF have been using MultiCam for several years but this is a first for conventional Australian troops who most recently had been trialling a uniform in the so-called DPMU pattern based on the distinct Auscam pattern but with Afghanistan specific coloring.

Earlier today, BRIG Mike Phelps (Director General, Integrated Soldier Systems Division, Land Systems Division, Defence Materiel Organisation) announced that they had issued contracts with Crye in the amount of $US4.7 million for a license to manufacture in Australia and $US3.1 million for Crye to develop a uniquely Australian camouflage pattern. He went on to add that the first prototypes should be available in five weeks.

Kelty MAP 3500 MultiCam Available for Preorder

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Almost a decade ago, the Special Operations (SOF) community requested a new and improved assault pack prompting Amron International to approach pack manufacturer Kelty. Designed and engineered with the help of direct military end-user input and feedback, the MAP 3500 was born becoming a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for a sturdy and functional Military Assault Pack (MAP).

Based on customer feedback Amron is introducing the popular MAP3500 in MultiCam® to accompany the six standard solid colors (Anaconda Green, Black, Coyote Tan, Desert Tan, Foliage Green, and Ocean Grey). Preorders are being accepted now with deliveries beginning in August 2011.

I can tell you that I purchased mine in 2002 and used it for many years as a my day to day pack. In fact, it was later passed down to one of my kids and has been used for a wide variety of duties. It’s still a great pack to this day despite a little wear and tear around the edges. It will serve you for years to come.

To Preorder the new MultiCam® pack for only $119.95 with free UPS ground freight within the continental US from now through 31 July at tactical.amronintl.com. Regular price is $159.00.

Lightweight Assault Pack, Jumpable

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Tyr Tactical released their new Jumpable Lightweight Assault Pack earlier today. Designed specifically for airborne operations, the pack integrates several features not found in normal packs. For example, it accepts an HPT Lowering Line via two foldaway tabs at the top of the pack. Also straps are reinforced around the inside of the pack in one continuous piece for added strength and durability and are accessible at the top of each side of the pack in order to utilize D Ring attaching straps. When not in use, the straps can be easily tucked away and stored in the attached strap pouches. Additionally, the main compartment utilizes PV500 along the entire gusset of the bag and is reinforced with 2” webbing to add additional strength.

Tyr provides plenty of pouches to compartmentalize gear. The inside compartment features two internal mesh pockets and there are also two pockets on the front of the pack. Additional external pockets on each side of the pack include internal mesh pockets to keep smaller items organized. Ample PALS real estate is provided to facilitate additional pouches. It also features a pocket built to fit a 100oz hydration bladder as well as the pack’s internal frame.

Manufactured from PV500, the Lightweight Assault Pack, Jumpable boasts a 3,197 cu in capacity.

Reversible Rainsuit from Dakota Outerwear

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

As I walked through the Warrior Expo West yesterday I saw an interesting item out of the corner of my eye. Seeing how the USAF just adopted OCP (MultiCam) for Airmen bound for Afghanistan I found this rain jacket to look pretty handy. Originally developed for use when we still issued separate woodland and desert patterns, it reverses for compatibility with either environment but the design went out of favor as the Air Force adopted the Digital Tiger Stripe Pattern. Now that the Air Force once again has two patterns, Dakota Outerwear thought it was time to reintroduce the concept. We agree.

The hood stows in the collar and pockets are accessible no matter which pattern is exposed.

Dakota Outerwear is available for agency/unit purchase from www.adsinc.com/dakota-outerwear.
