SOF Select 25 – MATBOCK Universal Hexagon Skins

Monday, May 12th, 2025

MATBOCK skins have been out for awhile. They use the MATBOCK Ghost face material which is NIR compliant, hydrophobic and extremely lightweight. Previously they would laser cut for each pattern and object they were putting them on but it was hard to keep up with new products. Plus, they kept getting asked to sell just sheets of the skins. At the same time Armor Forge came to them with the idea to just make a bunch of 1” hexagon skins and the Universal Hexagon sheet was born.

This is a flat sheet 14″ x 18″ (35cm x 45cm) of 1″ (2.5cm) hexagons, which allow you to place the hexagon on anything. The design also allows you to fully cover any surface or create your own unique pattern.

SOF Select 25 – Silynx CLARUS MSG

Tuesday, May 6th, 2025

Silymx has developed a new version of their CLARUS Push to Talk called the CLARUS MSG with the MSG standing for messaging.

In tunnels the IDF has faced a threat from voice comms drawing fire. Consequently, they developed a PTT with pre-recorded voice messages which can be heard through the radio and headset but are otherwise inaudible.

The front and center button is for the messaging function with four preset messages available. Two clicks through five clicks select each message. While it comes with pre-recorded messages in a calm, female voice, the user can add their own messages.

The CLARUS headset features an internal mic as well as external mics (switchable), and the system conducts a leakage test when it is first turned on.

SOF Select 24 – Mechanix Wear

Wednesday, May 15th, 2024

Mechanic Wear showed us their TAA Precision Pro High-Dexterity Grip Glove – Covert. It’s a mouthful but will all make sense as we walk through the features, it will all sense.

TAA means they are trade act compliant; in this case manufactured in Laos. While not Berry compliant, TAA compliance means you can still use certain government procurement methods to buy them like Government Purchase Card and GSA. Precision Pro is the model and these are cut for dexterity with hourglass finger profiles.

The Grip Glove is best explained with the photo above which shows Mechanix Wear’s Padlock Silicone Grip technology. The gloves are also touch screen compatible. Finally, the color is Covert which is a fancy term for Black.

Offered in XSmall – XXLarge.

SOF Select 24 – HUXWRX

Wednesday, May 15th, 2024

The new FLOW 556K L is a new variant of the popular FLOW 556K with a locking collar. In fact, the L or Lima designation is for Locking Collar, just like the 556 is for the caliber, K is for short or Kurz and FLOW is a Flow-Through design.

Here, you can see it next to a standard 556K Flow which is DMLS printed in 17-4 Stainless. Designed for toxic fume exposure mitigation, it also offers flash reduction, sound reduction, recoil reduction, accuracy, and repeatability by its unique Flow-Through helical coil and core deflector design. It is full-auto rated and compatible on 5.56, 17 HMR, and 5.7 platforms.

The Lima model of this 3D printed suppressor is currently only available through the Mission Team for authorized customers who are looking for the extra confidence of a locking collar.
