Warrior West – Vertx Recon Uniform Sneak Peek
Thursday, May 5th, 2016Warrior West – Scuba Pro Jet Fins
Thursday, May 5th, 2016Scuba Pro’s Jet Fins have been around for over 50 years so chances are good that you’ve probably worn a pair if you’ve spent anytime in the water, diving or swimming. For years they were available in any color as long as it was Black but recently, they’ve introduced a wide variety of colors. Now, they can do patterns and what you see below is a mixture of their Green and Black. It was just an experiment to see what the attendees at Warrior West thought, but I asked if I could share it the readers of SSD as well. So what do you think?
I’d also like to share that the Jet Fins are no longer made overseas but production has been moved to Los Angeles, California. It’s nice to see manufacturing moved here for a change.
Warrior West – Phokus Research Groups Helps ‘Stop The Bleed’
Thursday, May 5th, 2016
DHS has a new campaign called ‘Stop the Bleed‘ and Phokus Research Group has introduced a new line of products for institutional use. Phokus works with the user group to create bundles of their Individual Active Shooter Throw Kits in different configurations. The design is Modular. The Throw Kits attach to the larger bags via Velcro allowing a wide variety of load outs and quick deployment when they are needed. Additionally, each Throw Kit is poly bagged with zipper entry so you not only can see what’s in it, but also maintain it.
For example, the kit above is a bit more extensive and offers additional tools aside from the Individiual Active Shooter Throw Kits. It could be stored at an entry control point.
This is the Active Shooters Bag which might go in a patrol car or stored at a central location on each floor of a building. It can be hung when needed and the six Throw Kits quickly put into action.
Each Individiual Active Shooter Throw Kits contains:
-1 x Tourniquet (CAT or SOFTT-W)
-1 x Combat Gauze
-1 x Chest Seal
-1 x Frog Guaze (Z-fold nonwoven gauze)
-1 x Frog Tape (6 x 2″x9″ strips of medical tape)
-1 x Pair of Nitrile Gloves

Strike Force, the liquid energy elixir, has introduced a subscription service. It’s pretty cool. You can choose how often you want another 10 pack shipped to you.
Add one pack to a standard 1/2 liter water bottle (or 16 oz glass) to turn your water into a full power energy drink.
Each flavor pack is a liquid that is sugar / calorie free, but adds an explosion of energy and flavor to any beverage. There’s no mixing, stirring or shaking, and the flavor will never settle to the bottom like crystals or syrup.
Enter code SSD20 for a 20% discount off of the subscription service as well as regular orders.

Wednesday, May 4th, 2016The SI Ballistic Shock Tube was released in May. It is a low-profile, high wrap, ballistic eyewear that will be submitted to APEL next year.
