We recently took note of the Oceanside, California based company ALL SKILL NO LUCK a few months back with the introduction of their popular flannel field and combat style shirts. The company has gained a lot of attention for its quality and designs, and are constantly working on bringing new trend setting garments to market. Nate Murr, known for his popular B5 Systems Gripstop, and other designs with Kinetic Development Group, seemed to be running parallel with his thought process.
ALL SKILL NO LUCK and Nate have teamed up to release the ultimate low profile Urban outwear garment, The California Combat Hoodie. The Hoodie currently features two spacious, velcro covered arm pockets to securely hold extra gear, and is made from a thick, durable synthetic blend. This pullover warming layer currently exists in prototype form, and has already been spotted around SHOT Show.
The hoodie captures the warmth and style of the classic “Baja Hoodie” worn by surfers, college students, etc. and has been a pillar of southwestern cultural attire for decades. The company plans on refining the design further, and releasing a production version in a few months. We are told that the final version may have a hidden Kangaroo pocket behind the hand warmer pocket in the front, a small center of chest “Admin” pocket high center of the chest in the Anorak style, and other small useful features incorporated throughout the garment.
Stay tuned for updates, and let them know what features you would like to see included in the comments below.
Complete Parachute Solutions displayed their K9 Jump Bag in the Core Survival Booth.
Offered in size Medium for Malinois and Large for Shepherds, the K9 Jump Bag contains the dog’s body, legs and feet. This protects the animal From the cold environment as well as a mechanical injury during exit, descent and landing.

The Scarab DLX is the latest addition to the popular Scarab armor carrier line From Velocity Systems.
As you can see, it is SwiftClip compatible. But also, front and rear, the vest utilizes Trilor Grid. It is PALS compatible and the triangular shape is stronger than standard slots. Additionally, it displaced more weight than standard laser cut slots. This full carrier only weighs 1.5 lbs dry.
It incorporates their patented swivel shoulder system.
However, the biggest thing about the Scarab DLX is the internal suspension system which is adjustable by the user for the amount of stand off from the body.
The mesh suspension offers cooling properties as well as an air gap between the armor and body. This air gap can really mean the difference when shot. It has resulted in up to 56% reduction in back face deformation during NIJ testing.
Reebok Duty has expanded the Sublite Cushion Tactical line with three new models. There is Sage Green for the Air Force and Coyote for the Army AR 670-1 compliant boot. Additionally, they’ve introduced Mid versions as more a tactical causal shoe.
Interestingly, they developed a special sole for the AR 670-1 boot.
It incorporates a rope guard and offers a full rubber outsole with additional abrasion resistance.
The other models (as seen above) have deeper flex grooves as well as targeted rubber at the toe and heel for weight reduction.
At the top of the younger there is a lace garage.
Finally, the footbed incorporates memorytech massage with massaging pods. Although hey come standard with the Sublime Cushion, these footbeds as an after market accessory later this year.

When we last told you about the SureFire Advanced Rifle Operating Core and Optimized Bolt Carrier we weren’t sure when it would be available commercially. But SureFire had the OBC on display at SHOT Show and told us the first run are just finishing up production.
While the entire AROC consists of an enhanced Bolt Carrier Group, Barrel Extension, Buffer and Spring, the OBC is a drop-in Bolt Carrier Group which fits both piston and DI ARs.
The OBC features an internal weight which is spring loaded in both directions. This, along with the other elements, combine to offer additional travel time. When the Bolt is at the end of its stroke while using a Mil-Spec BCG, it takes 28 milliseconds for the bolt to travel back into battery. With the OBC, it’s 38 milliseconds. That slight difference is signifigant, especially when firing full auto or suppressed, or both. You’ll also notice that the gas key has a single screw. It comes with a 2 oz H2S buffer and an included Action Spring offers additional tension.
