Hot Off the Press: Extreme Outfitters First in US to Offer Blackhawk Gear in MultiCam

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

We just heard about this this morning and it’s pretty exciting news for Blackhawk! fans. BPG introduced a range of products in MultiCam in Europe earlier this year. In the interim, the Army adopted the pattern as the operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern. Consequently, Extreme Outfitters politiced to bring those products here in the US as well. In stock now.

THE ONLY PLACE IN THE COUNTRY

JACKSONVILLE, NC – All eyes are on the Brynn Marr Shopping Center on Western Boulevard this week as hundreds of the latest Blackhawk! MultiCam items arrived.
“We’re the first ones to get it – the only place in the country,” said Extreme Outfitters store manager Marion Plocica. “There are 2600 items – between 50 to 100 of each of a select group of products.”
The shipment includes pouches, packs, patrol belts, drop-leg platforms, medical bags, sniper drag bags and shooting mats – just to name a few. The gear in the new MultiCam camouflage pattern is so fresh from the factory that there aren’t many photographs of the original items available.
“It’s so new the manufacturer doesn’t even have pictures yet,” said Extreme Outfitters marketing director Chris Evans.
These are all in such high demand with a rapid military deployment schedule due to all the action in Afghanistan, that VIP customers can use their traditional 10 percent discount alone, but not in conjunction with any other specials.

According to Plocica, the gear is fresh for the holidays and in keeping with the spirit of Christmas, as U.S. troops keep American interests safe miles away from home and far from their families.

Mountain Rucks from Mystery Ranch

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

There are a lot of folks who still prefer ALICE over any of the new stuff. As we all know, the weakest link in the big green tick was the frame. On top of that, ALICE was designed in the late 60s of state of the art materials for the time, which is essentially parapack and so is prone to developing holes in high wear areas. Well, Mystery Ranch has ALICE beat in both areas and has taken inspiration from the classic design but developed an entirely new pack from the ground up. Naturally, like ALICE, the Mountain Ruck is available in two sizes, Medium and Large. The Large came first, but immediately they had customers come back and tell them that they needed a smaller pack with the same features.

The Mountain Ruck sits atop the highly popular NICE frame which can be used with a variety of Mystery Ranch bags as well as to transport awkward loads like the old issue packboard. They also made the Mountain Ruck backward compatible with the ALICE frame for you diehards. The Large pack offers 5300 cu in of cargo capacity but PALS webbing is available for those who need additional space. The pack also features three external Rip-Zip pockets that are a cinch to open in a hurry.

Available in Coyote and MultiCam. Be sure to inquire about the medium size of it fits your needs.
