SHOT Show – First Lite

Thursday, January 21st, 2016

First Lite is well known for wool hunting wear.  This year they’ve introduced aerowool which is a combination of merino wool and 37.5’s moisture wicking stranded poly.   It dries three times as fast as merino.  There are four new garments for hot weather.

This is the Minaret Crew and Dobson Boxer.

above is the Wilkin QZ which has a very deep zip front paired with the new 3/4 length Glenbrook 3/4 bottom.

SHOT Show – HEXGRID from 5.11 Tactical

Thursday, January 21st, 2016

During SOFIC last year I was invited by 5.11 Tactical to preview their HEXGRID technology. Much to my surprise, I saw some samples of the technology in their SHOT Show booth.

 

Like the name implies, HEXGRID consists of hexagon shaped holes in a substrate which will accept PALS compatible pouches. Due to the geometry, the pouches can be attached at several angles rather than just up and down.
