New Kifaru Woobie Image
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011Since apparently guys wearing jeans can’t use woobies, Kifaru has succumbed to pressure from those who won’t buy anything from them anyway and put up a new photo of the excellent reversible MultiCam to Coyote Woobie.
Woobies rock. Get yours at and send us a photo of you using it while wearing jeans. We’ll reward you with an SSD morale patch.
Hill People Gear Mountain Serapes
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Although Hill People Gear continues to tease us with tidbits of info about their Mountain Serape, it looks like there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel.
The Mountain Serape is based on the tried and true poncho design but HPG has added a hood, drawstring, and unique (patent pending) zipper arrangement that turns it into a greatcoat or a half zip sleeping bag. Designed to be thrown on in cold weather when you stop moving or when lying up, it can also be used as a warmer weather sleeping bag or in conjunction with a bag to increase its range. Additionally, this is a great product for survival use or for conditions where packing light is a necessity.
Weighing in at only 34 ounces, it features a DWR coated mini ripstop face fabric with 2.4oz primaloft fusion insulation. The Mountain Serape is available for pre-order in Foliage or Coyote.
