ORWM – Mystery Ranch

January 10th, 2017

This report on new items from Mystery Ranch Outdoor products, coming Fall 17. The military/tactical items will come next week at SHOT Show. Both of these are what I would consider commuter bags.

At 22 liters, the Rip Ruck is made from 420D Cordura in a mountain ruck style.  Look for a separate zippered pocket for a laptop next to the back along with a dual zipper main pocket and two smaller outer pockets which replicate the two-zipper styling.

The Slick is just that.  It’s a 23 liter pack made from ripstop nylon and features a dedicated, zippered, laptop compartment along with a main pocket with a half moon zippered opening.  On either side are slit pockets which will accept a water bottle.

ORWM – Arc’teryx

January 10th, 2017

The big Arc’teryx story at ORWM is the Alpha IS Jacket.


The IS suffix is for Insulated and the Alpha IS relies on ThermaTek for incredible warmth to weight ratio.  ThermaTek is a hollow core fiber which gets a DWR bath and is then laminated to a face fabric with a second DWR bath.  That face fabric is an air permeable Gore-Tex fabric.  It’s a very technical piece.  Use the Alpha IS in cold/wet/windy environments down to around -15 Celsius.  


It also features the new TPU zipper pulls above and Cohesive Cord locks below which tuck into the harness belt.


Coming Fall 17.

LaserMax Announces GripSense Activation Technology

January 10th, 2017

Rochester, NY – January 9, 2016 – The new activation technology from LaserMax is coined GripSense™ and offers users dual activation choices via instant on with capacitive touch or button controlled activation.


“Offering consumers the ability to choose between modes of, button activation or GripSense activation is really incredible” said Chris Tinkle, Chief Sales Officer for LaserMax. “Our GripSense Technology is a safe and tactically sound instant on capability that consumers have desired for years, while still providing the ability to have controlled activation.”

The Patent Pending GripSense Technology utilizes similar technology to smartphones, in that the product contains a detection zone in the area that users middle finger indexes the trigger guard of the firearm and senses the user’s grip on the firearm and activates the light or laser instantly. The use has the option to turn off the light or laser with the push of a button or disable the GripSense Activation and rely solely on the button activation.


“I am very proud of our team and excited to see the market’s reaction to our new GripSense Technology,” said Chris Tinkle. “Our team has been very careful to work on an “instant on” solution for laser aiming devices. We challenged our Engineering team to develop a solution that met customer demand while ensuring that the product doesn’t comprise proper doctrinal use of laser aiming devices in law enforcement or self-defense use cases. Our team delivered an incredible solution in GripSense Technology.”

LaserMax released GripSense technology at distributor shows last week and plans a full debut at the 2017 Shot Show in Las Vegas Nevada, January 17, 2017.
