Timmy Hat Gets an Upgrade & a New Friend!

Friday, October 30th, 2020

The original Timmy Hat from TRC Outdoors has had an overhaul…

Introducing the MK3 Timmy Hat!

Due to the popularity of the Timmy Hat, and the hard use it is being put to TRC Outdoors has upgraded the design.

The Mesh on the crown has been upgraded to a more heavy-duty fabric, but maintains the same soft hand and high ventilation.

The fabric on the peak has also been upgraded to a robust rip-stop fabric, to make sure the hat stays looking good no matter how it is abused.

Popular demand has also lead to the introduction of a new colourway. This camouflage pattern is compatible with the wide array of multiple-terrain camouflage patterns on duty clothing.

Our Night Camo colourway has also had the same upgrade to the MK3 pattern, with the Day Camo version to follow next year.

The new Timmy Hat joins our already popular Day and Night Camo hats.

The hats are currently being manufactured and are available for pre-order now for a 10% discount at:

trcoutdoors.com/product/mk3-timmy-hat

They will be dispatched mid to late November.

You can still order the original Timmy Hats…

trcoutdoors.com/product/timmy-hat

If you order both, they will be dispatched with the new hats to save postage.

Federal Premium Force X2 Wins the Best Ammunition Caliber Award for 2020 by NASGW-POMA

Thursday, October 29th, 2020

ANOKA, Minnesota – October 27, 2020 – Federal Premium Force X2 Personal Defense Shotgun Loads has been presented with the Caliber Award in the Best Ammunition New Product category by the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), in partnership with the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA).

“We are thrilled to have won Best Ammunition for our Premium Force X2 at the 4th Annual NASGW-POMA Caliber Awards,” said Federal’s Vice President of Sales Jim Bruno. “The Caliber Awards are chosen by a dedicated group of wholesalers and media members who stay on top of product trends and innovations year after year. We know these individuals truly saw the value of all the features and benefits Force X2 delivers to any customer looking for the most innovative and effective personal defense load for shotguns. We are incredibly proud of this award.”

Force X2 utilizes nine copper-plated 00 buckshot pellets—specially engineered to split into two equal-size pieces on impact—to create up to 18 wound channels which improves the transfer of energy from the payload to the target and minimizes the potential for over-penetration, reducing the risk to bystanders. Force X2 is also loaded for more manageable recoil, allowing the shooter to stay on target for faster follow-up shots and better accuracy in a self-defense situation.

Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep 380 Auto was also a finalist for the NASGW-POMA Caliber Award in the Best Ammunition New Product category. This new Hydra-Shok Deep offering for 2020 is the first expanding 380 Auto load to consistently penetrate beyond the FBI-recommended 12-inch minimum. Like all Hydra-Shok Deep loads, its bullet’s more robust center post and core design ensure it penetrates to critical depths through common self-defense barriers, without over-penetrating.

Federal ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide or purchased online direct from Federal. For more information on all products from Federal or to shop online, visit www.federalpremium.com.

Terrain 365 Invictus-AT G10

Thursday, October 29th, 2020

Technical, Rustproof, Non-Magnetic, Edge Holding Folder for All Terrains

Thursday October 29, 2020 Terrain 365™ will release their latest collaboration folder with Prometheus Design Werx, the Invictus-AT with a G10 handle on the presentation side. This version is lighter weight and offers a different tactile feel in the hand. It is engineered for use in any environment on land, in and even under water, without ever rusting, pitting or staining. All the materials use in the making of this folder are 100% non-ferrous, non-magnetic, and rustproof. “AT” (A.ll T.errain) designated folders are required meet the trifecta of apex folding knife performance criteria; rustproof, non-magnetic and edge holding. The dendritic cobalt composition and annealing process of their Terravantium™ blades achieves all three.

The Invictus-AT G10 is a collaboration between Terrain 365 and Prometheus Design Werx.

Creative Director and Co-Founder Patrick Ma of Terrain 365 states,

“This variant of the Invictus-AT uses G10 on the presentation side for a reduction in overall weight and a different tactile feel when in the hand. It is another option for fans of this Invictus folder. We’re offering 3 colors in the G10 which adds another layer of options for users’ personal tastes and preferences. In keeping with our primary objectives, we set out to make purpose driven edged tools that are field expedient, possess lasting cutting performance and operate in just about any environment with little to no maintenance. While there is an undeniable industrial appeal to an all titanium handle, I find that G10 and even micarta as handle materials are my personal preference when carrying in the field. IMO, they tend to offer a better grip feel in wet conditions and when backpacking, the less weight the better. Our ‘AT’ designated folders are 100% rustproof and are at home clipped in the pocket of your jeans to IWB in a pair of boardshorts. As a company we did not set out to replace steel blade alloys, rather offer our Terravantium as a high-performance alternative for those who adventure anywhere on land or in the water.”

The Invictus-AT G10 is available for $379.00 on their website.

PDW Beast Hoodie 2020

Thursday, October 29th, 2020

Distinctive, Technical, Alpine Mid-Layer Hoodie, Made in the USA with US Polartec Fleece

Prometheus Design Werx releases their updated Beast Hoodie this Fall-Winter 2020. This year’s version features the last of the American-made Polartec® doubled faced Shearling ThermalPro® Retro Pile fleece. This technical material is a direct, modern descendant of the first pile fleece jackets first used by alpinists. This year’s Beast Hoodie is denser, has a tighter fabric knap, and heavier weight than 2019’s model. Features include PDW’s signature details of 4 zippered exterior pockets, 4 dummy cord anchor points, ports for media cables, 2 interior stash pockets, double reinforced elbows in 4-way All Terrain Cloth, structured draft resistant thumbhole cuffs, and M.L. hood with A.C. bill. The PDW Beast Hoodie is a distinct, durable, versatile, high-performance, technical mid-layer with a direct mountaineering lineage. Made in the USA.

 

The Beast Hoodie is a part of their Made in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx. Available in Beowulf Brown, Ragnarök Black, and Fenrir Gray.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“For 2020, we again updated our highly popular mid-layer Beast Hoodie style with a US-made Polartec Shearling ThermalPro Retro Pile. Denser and heavier weight, this version of Polartec’s shearling fleece was a great match for this style. This type of pile fleece is a direct, modern descendant of the original pile fleece jackets made for alpinists and mountaineers at the dawn of modern outdoor apparel age where synthetic textiles were introduced into the market. (Just wanted for our readers to take note, that this is the last of US-made Polartec shearling fleece. PDW was one of the very few companies to actually purchase this US-made material from Polartec to use in our hoodie. We’re disappointed to see that because of lack of interest from other brands in purchasing US-made fleece, Polartec has cancelled this entire line of US-made shearling going forward. This is an outcome of economics, actual American consumer buying habits, and the lack of material demand based on costs. For folks who like to complain about how ‘expensive’ US-made goods can be, this is the often the consequence.) We’re glad we got in one final run of our Beast Hoodie using this US-made shearling fleece. These fleece hoodies are expertly made in our home state of California, USA and built for those who are self-reliant, make their own way, and the outsiders who thrive in the wilderness.”

The Beast Hoodie will be available in 3 colors for $198.00 on Wednesday, November 4th, 2020 at 12:00pm Pacific via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

New Bushnell LMSS2 an Evolution of the Elite Tactical Lightweight Modular Spotting Scope

Wednesday, October 28th, 2020

Elite Tactical LMSS2 Offers Enhanced Lens Coatings, Updated Reticle Options

 

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 28, 2020 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, has taken its professional-grade Elite Tactical compact spotting scope to an even higher level with the new 8-40x 60mm LMSS2.

The Elite Tactical LMSS2 combines compact elite-quality HD glass with a military-grade riflescope optical design. It builds on the original Lightweight Modular Spotting Scope (LMSS) with features including upgraded exterior lens coatings, updated HORUS reticle options and a power-change throw lever as well as other user control enhancements. Military personnel, law enforcement officers, competitive shooters and hunters can employ the LMSS2 to complement their Elite Tactical optics or other MIL-based riflescopes.

Ideal for training and competitive shooting that requires long-range target acquisition, the LMSS2’s key features include:

• ED Prime (HD) glass and fully multi-coated optics paired with ultra-wide-band coatings to allow for more light transmission in low-light situations, providing superior image brightness and color resolution

• Compact and lightweight HDOS system enables low-profile, lightweight construction without sacrificing resolution or contrast

• Aluminum alloy chassis construction is rugged and meets IXP7 waterproof standards; heavy-duty rubber overmold ensures that the glass and mechanical components are both secured and protected to maintain optical performance for years of use

• Bushnell’s exclusive EXO Barrier molecularly bonds to exterior lens surfaces and repels water, oil, fog, dust and debris so the user can see the target in any condition

• Throw Hammer PCR lever speeds up magnification changes and target engagements

The LMSS2 Elite Tactical is available with the H322 or the TREMOR4 spotting scope reticle. The H322 is designed as a companion to the H59 and H58 riflescope reticles, and is ideal for spotting with any MRAD-based riflescope reticle or where real-time measured targeting information is required. Its 0.2 milliradian (MRAD) Horus Grid and patented Rapid Range Bars make it well suited for those looking for robust wind and drop compensation, target range estimation and follow-up shot spotter communication capabilities. The TREMOR4 builds on the H322 and is designed as a companion to the TREMOR2, TREMOR3 or TREMOR5 riflescope reticles. It is also an exceptional reticle for spotting with any MRAD-based riflescope reticle. With its 0.2 mil Horus Grid and patented time of flight wind dots, it can be used with any ballistics and in any environmental conditions for excellent follow-up shot spotter communication capabilities.

With a minimum magnification of eight power – an ideal setting when employed with night vision – and a maximum of 40 power, the LMSS2 Elite Tactical is one of the most versatile premium spotting scopes on the market. It comes with a detachable (3 user selectable positions) picatinny rail, giving users the ability to quickly and easily mount red dot sights for faster target acquisition or laser rangefinders. An optional, third party rail kit designed as a direct-connect, OEM system further expands the scope’s accessory compatibility. Other features contributing to versatility, performance and ease of use include a twist-up eyecup, fast-focus diopter, integral ¼-20 tripod connection and bottom accessory rail connections.

The 8-40x 60mm LMSS2 Elite Tactical measures 12.7 inches in length and weighs 37 ounces without rail. Color is flat dark earth and black. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $1,749.99. Lens caps and cleaning cloth are included.

All Elite Tactical optics are covered by Bushnell’s Iron Clad Lifetime Warranty. For more information on the company’s full line of binoculars, spotting scopes and other optics, visit www.bushnell.com.

Following Investments in Onshore Manufacturing, Outdoor Research Promotes New VP of Government, Tactical, and PPE

Wednesday, October 28th, 2020

Longtime OR employee, Army veteran TJ Laynor to head Sales and Programs for a division that has seen $5 million in R+D and manufacturing facility investment over the last 2 years.
SEATTLE, Wash. (October 28, 2020) – After growing its manufacturing capacity dramatically by opening a new factory and increasing its onshore manufacturing jobs substantially over the last two years, Outdoor Research, Inc. (OR), a leader in the outdoor and tactical apparel industry, announced today it has promoted TJ Laynor to Vice President of Government and International Tactical Programs.

Laynor is a veteran of the Army who has worked for the Government/Tactical Division at Outdoor Research for a decade. In his new post, he will oversee sales and programs for the Government/Tactical and Medical PPE divisions. Outdoor Research has operated in the Government/Tactical arena for 30 years, building products for both elite units of the U.S. military and the tactical consumer market. Medical and PPE is an area into which OR expanded in 2020 with the onset of the COVID pandemic, investing in extensive new manufacturing equipment and technology to become a company that – since March – has built more than 6 million surgical, N95 and other face masks. OR also earned difficult-to-achieve FDA authorization and NIOSH certification for new products this year.

Contributing to its increased onshore manufacturing capabilities, over the last two years Outdoor Research has invested more than $5 million in improving R+D capabilities focused on these markets, including opening a second onshore factory in El Monte, California, while at the same time extensively modernizing and upgrading its manufacturing operation at its headquarters in Seattle, Washington. Outdoor Research has  grown the number of jobs in its two U.S. manufacturing operations to more than 500 employees.

Prior to Outdoor Research, Laynor, who joined the U.S. Army in the wake of Sept. 11, 2001, served in the military for nearly 10 years, completing a deployment in Afghanistan and two to Iraq. He and his wife, Dr. Samara Laynor met while deployed in Iraq. They have two children and reside in Tacoma, Washington.

“Whether in the mountains or the battlefield, the Outdoor Research brand has always been about solving problems and offering protection. And now we continue to grow with the addition of medical and PPE products,” Laynor said. “With the twists and turns that have come about through this year’s pandemic, this expansion aligns with the problem-solving vision of OR’s founder, Ron Gregg. I believe he would be proud of the unstoppable force that this team and this company has brought to bear in continuing to solve problems and provide the best protection available.”

Highly respected in the outdoor industry for developing functional solutions for extreme environments, Outdoor Research has a history of successfully leveraging the best commercial market technologies to serve the needs of the armed services and first responders. Over the past several years the company has conducted a comprehensive review of the U.S. supply chain and is in active development with textile mills and materials providers to expand and elevate the capabilities of products that are 100-percent American-made. That extensive innovation pipeline and network was crucial this past spring as the brand expanded into manufacturing surgical and N95 masks in a period of months.

“We’ve been investing in our Military/Tactical division and our onshore manufacturing capabilities over the last few years because we see the need to create critically needed, advanced products for the domestic market.” said Michelle Wardian, President of Outdoor Research. “The ability to respond quickly to rapidly evolving needs is paramount in the Military/Tactical arena, and we never could have imagined how much our domestic manufacturing experience would come into play in 2020 as the need for PPE made in the U.S.A. emerged. We are fortunate to have TJ’s highly credible experience continuing to guide our course forward.”

The Outdoor Research company mission is rooted in mountain environments. OR products are purpose-built to support the rigorous demands of our customers. Since 1981, Outdoor Research has engineered products to help outdoor adventurers respond to the challenges presented by the wild outdoors. OR’s decades of first-hand experience developing and manufacturing products that provide capability in uncompromising situations has provided the backdrop from which the military/tactical and medical/PPE teams were born. OR tactical products have been improved through cross-pollination from user groups, including the elite communities of military, law enforcement, and government agencies.
