Monday, November 2nd, 2020

S.O.C.P® Sling Expands Collaborative Line

Cincinnati, Ohio – Vertx®, a leading manufacturer of low-profile tactical apparel and accessories, is excited to announce the launch of the S.O.C.P® Sling. Preceded by the S.O.C.P® Insert Panel, the sling is the second product to launch in collaboration with Greg Thompson, the founder of the Special Operations Combatives Program (S.O.C.P®). The sling is available in three colorways, It’s Black, Canopy Green/Galaxy Black and Smoke Grey/Galaxy Black, and is now for sale on online at vertx.com and in store. Customers can find a dealer near them using the Vertx® store locator at vertx.com/store-locator.

Founded by Greg Thompson, S.O.C.P® is an ever-evolving, individualized training program built to adapt to the changing requirements operators face when it comes to their environment, mission and gear. Over the last 20 years, Greg has trained specialized units within local law enforcement, the US military and federal government and since 2010 S.O.C.P® has been one of two programs of record for the U.S. Army.

“At Vertx® we’re always listening to our customer’s feedback and adapting our product to fit the industry’s dynamic needs,” said Denny Bogard, GM/VP of Vertx. “Greg does the same with S.O.C.P® and together we’ve built a versatile, low-profile product that can handle the challenges our customers face every day.”

While it may be written-off by the everyday passerby as an ordinary waist pack, the S.O.C.P® sling is full of tactical features that make it the covert operator’s ultimate companion. The adjustable cellphone compartment can be used as a NAV board and its innocuous exterior flaps fold down to reveal your camera for surveillance applications. In more intense scenarios, it’s internal coin pocket can be converted to an SAP and it’s internal pouch expands to store confiscated items. Equipped with dual-purpose metal attachment clips, the sling can quickly transition from waist carry to attachment on a pack strap. The sling’s hidden rapid access pocket provides a discreet place to store defense tools like the S.O.C.P® Dagger when chaos comes calling. Learn more about the S.O.C.P® Sling and the rest of the Vertx® line at vertx.com.

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.
