Something for the Ladies

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Finally, SureFire has produced a product specifically for the ladies. The new Isis features a chrome plated aluminum body appointed with two rings of Swarovski crystals. It also incorporates SF’s new reactive tailcap which means you just touch the tailcap and it turns on, off, and switches between high ad low beam. Combining an LED lamp and TIR reflector the Isis delivers 10 lumens on low and 100 lumens on high. Plus, it uses SureFire’s new Lithium Ion rechargeable technology providing up to 12 hours on the low setting.

OTTE Gear Recce Anorak

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

This exclusive video depicts OTTE Gear’s new Recce Anorak which they debuted at SHOT Show. Packed full of features, it is the first softshell we have seen that integrates a ghillie platform directly on the jacket. The headover anorak design features pitzips that go from waist all the way up to the elbow. The forearms pockets will take the place of arm boards and will also accept an ammo sleeve for a long gun. A large collar opening and pass through kangaroo pockets top off the piece. Coming Spring 2011. They are also planning an Assaulter version that will lose the hood as well as the ghillie platform and come in a solid color.

In other OTTE news, they have updated their color palette dropping Light Coyote in favor of Tan and Foliage Green for the darker Ranger Green. In fact, what little bit of inventory is left in these older colors is on sale.

They have also produced a gaiter in MultiCam.

Coming from Vertx

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Vertx made an excellent showing at SHOT Show. In addition to a t-shirt what was one of the best giveaways for SHOT Show, Vertx showed several new products available now including a new PolyCotton patrol uniform for LE and a developmental piece that is almost ready to hit the streets. Everybody is making polos (including Vertx) but they always want to do something a little different so they came up with this tactical rugby shirt. It gives a different look than a polo yet includes a low profile inset sleeve pocket and adjustable wrists. Let’s hope they release it soon.

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

Duro Textiles, the exclusive distributor of MultiCam introduced two new fabrics at SHOT Show. The first, seen on the left below is LiteLok a 100% nylon, double layer fabric. It is 35% lighter than 500D Cordura and has been used in solid colors for many years for concealment cut armor vests. The ripstop weave gives it a very techie look and it boasts high abrasion and tear resistance.

The second fabric on the right of the photo is called Epsilon. It is a 40D x 70D nylon ripstop fabric with Nanosphere treatment. This gives it water and resistant properties.
