Beyond was exhibiting the latest iteration of their level A9E (E=Equatorial) which is their Hot Wet uniform. Made from the USSOCOM-validated jungle fabric from Burlington, Beyond has kept the design simple but has refined the pocket placement as well as brought the rear vent up just a little.
Drifire showed us a prototype of their new Prime Combat Hoodie. While it shares the same design as their cold weather combat hoodie, it’s made from Drifire’s Prime fabric, a lightweight 6.5 oz. fabric with super soft feel and 4-way stretch. You’ve stiol got a hood, integrated neck gaiter and thumb hole cuffs.
Earlier this week, Trijicon released the RMR Type 2 which has a variety of new features including a button lockout mode as well as a battery conservation mode which auto adjusts to ambient lighting conditions (sleep mode) after 16.5 hours of inactivity. Additionally, there are eight intensity settings, including two night vision and one super bright setting. The CR2032 battery will last for four years on brightness setting four, or for five years in dark storage. And yes, it uses the same currently available mounting solutions.
But to users the biggest improvement is in the battery case. In this SSD exclusive you can see the new battery compartment for the CR 2032 battery. In addition to additional contacts, they’ve also incorporated a rubber gasket to mitigate shock to the battery while firing.
With five live fire ranges and over 100 vendors, the ADS Federal Range Day is where you want to be.
The SJK Nightfall 2 and Nightfall 3 tents perfectly complement any overnight backcountry adventure. An external pitch configuration is key to this tent’s versatility, allowing you to pitch it as a traditional double-wall tent or opt for the Fast-Pitch configuration and leave the tent body behind for an extremely light and compact minimalists shelter.
External pitch allows for dry set up in rainy conditions while near vertical walls provide exceptional interior space. The vestibule door can be rolled up out of the way or turned into an awning using two trekking poles for a protected exterior sitting area. Walls, floor, and fly are 40D, 68D, and 66D polyester respectively, while poles are 7001 series aluminum.
Available in 2 (5lbs, 2oz; 31.4 sq ft interior; $149) and 3-person (5lbs, 10oz; 401 sq ft interior; $179) versions.

POOLER, Ga., June 8, 2017 – Blue Force Gear®, the designer and manufacturer of the world’s finest weapon slings and tactical equipment, is continuing their mission to change the mindset of everyday carry (EDC) by adding a basic trauma supply option to their Micro Trauma Kit NOW! (MicroTKN!) product line.
With the overwhelming popularity and success of the MicroTKN!, which was first released at SHOT Show 2017, Blue Force Gear® saw a need for a kit which had critical lifesaving tools that was even more accessible in both cost and the level of recommended training.
“Our goal is to put the MicroTKN! on as many people as possible to create a more prepared population,” said Tom Kaleta, Director of Marketing of Blue Force Gear. “Each day seems to bring another example of why this mission is so important. This basic kit puts lifesaving equipment which can be utilized by practically anyone to save a life.”
The MicroTKN! Basic medical supply load-out specifically designed for small-form, low-bulk applications. It is also available in two, attach and wear methods, the belt pouch and MOLLE. The new basic medical supplies option contains:
• NuStat Tactical™ hemostatic dressing for wound packing/clotting (1 included)
• 4” Emergency Trauma Dressing (1 included)
• 9” Medical Grade Easy Tape (6 included)
• Tourni-Kwik Compression Tourniquet (1 included)
• Heavy Duty Medical Gloves (1 pair included)
The MicroTKN! is the smallest version of the Trauma Kit NOW! TM, designed to hold essential lifesaving medical supplies in a small easy-to-carry pack that takes up minimal space. The MicroTKN! is constructed with Blue Force Gear’s ULTRAcomp® and TenSpeed® elastic making it less bulky and stronger than a typical medical pouch. The inner carrier can be easily deployed with one finger or one hand from either the left or right side by pulling the BLIP™ (Ball Loaded Index Point) featured pull-tabs.
“It is simple: We made a more affordable kit that is easier to use. This furthers our vision of equipping millions of good people with the mindset, knowledge and equipment they need to help in life’s most challenging situations.” said Ashley Burnsed, CEO of Blue Force Gear.
The new MicroTKN! Basic content kit is available for $129. To learn more about the MicroTKN! or purchase the product, visit www.blueforcegear.com.
