ORSM 17 – Darn Tough Vermont Introduces Graduated Compression Socks

July 26th, 2017

Coming Spring 18, and offered in a Berry compliant version, Darn Tough Vermont is introducing a sock with graduated compression in the upper.

In addition to their custom knit arch support, the sock is made from their lightest weight Merino Wool yarn. This is a performance sock and not a medical grade compression sock, but it's intended for long-term wear. It doesn't constrict circulation.

This is a developmental version; look for an all Black version in Jan 18.

New Small Arms Manufacturer, F4 Defense to Launch at Triggrcon 2017

July 26th, 2017

Leonardtown, Maryland. Veteran-owned F4 Defense, manufacturers of innovative small arms and accessories, will launch their new line of products at Triggrcon 2017 in Tacoma, Washington (July 27-30, 2017).

After two years of design, development and strenuous testing, F4 Defense will enter the firearms industry with their F4-15 rifle and Patent Pending Adaptive Rail System Handguard (ARS). “As veterans, competitive shooters and fierce patriots, we saw room for innovation in the small arms market and started this company out of a passion for firearms and our desire to help those who defend the laws of freedom,” says COO, Dave Fairfax.

New F4 Product Features:

F4-15 Rifle

The F4-15 is second to none aesthetically while maintaining the strength and structural integrity to endure the harshest of environments. The F4-15’s radical lines and recesses are strategically placed to cut weight and provide a streamlined design; making it lighter than a forged mil-spec receiver set. Features include: trigger creep adjustment, short throw safety, flared magwell, bolt catch and forward assist set screws, upper takedown tension adjustment and an oversized beveled trigger guard to accommodate shooters who wear gloves.

ARS Handguard

The F4 Adaptive Rail System (ARS) is a purpose-built rail combining the functionality of the M1913 Picatinny rail and the adaptability of Magpul’s® MLOK® system. The Patent Pending MLOK® and Picatinny hybrid system is directly integrated into the extruded profile of the rail—versus the bulky quad rail configuration. Accessories can be attached directly to the rail—eliminating the need for adapter rails.

F4 Defense is developing several additional products that include a Small Frame .308 (F4-10) and a 9mm Pistol Carbine (F4-P PCC) planned for release in the coming months. You can sign up for updates at www.f4defense.com or follow them on Facebook at facebook.com/f4defense.

You can see F4 Defense’s new line at Booth #810 at Triggrcon 2017.

Military Inspired Versatility for a Different Kind of Hero, Team Wendy’s New M-216 Ski Search & Rescue Helmet Is Here!

July 26th, 2017

CLEVELAND – Team Wendy will be unveiling the new M-216 Ski Search & Rescue Helmet during this week’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, UT. The M-216 is not your average ski helmet; it provides mounting capabilities not previously available to rescue operators in any ski or snow rated helmet. Utilizing features originally developed for the military and tactical community, the helmet provides side accessory rails for mounting a variety of lights and cameras, and a glass-reinforced polycarbonate shroud for attaching headlamps, cameras, or even night optics devices such as thermal sights. Every helmet features a Princeton Tec® task light (choice of MPLS Point or Switch), designed to seamlessly integrate with the accessory rail. Included Picatinny Quick Release Rail Adapters allow tool free removal and attachment of any other standard Picatinny mountable accessories. An open area on the crown allows for mounting of cameras and beacon lights, including the MOHOC® military-optimized camera, and Core Survival HEL-STAR® 6 multi-function. The helmet has also been optimized for comfort and stability featuring a customized Boa® Closure System to provide precise fit adjustment with single handed quick release, and an under the chin retention strap with Fidlock® magnetic buckle for one handed operation even when wearing gloves.

The protection offered by the M-216 includes the requirements of ASTM F2040-17 for recreational snow sports and BS EN 1077: 2007 Class B for alpine skiing and snowboarding.
