Haley Strategic / G-Code – Incog Shadow Holster

May 19th, 2015

Click to view .pdf

The Incog Shadow is a weapon light capable IWB holster built in collaboration between G-Code and Haley Strategic. The Incog Shadow is offered with both a stand alone single clip system and a dual clip system compatible with Incog mag caddies. Like all Incog holsters, the Shadow is offered with either a camo or Tactical Fuzz laminate. Tactical Fuzz is a “suede like” synthetic laminate which reduces noise during movement, reduces the holster’s reflective signature, and presents a “softer” surface against skin. Tactical Fuzz is offered in Black, Tan, Slage-Blue, and Grey.

The Shadow is being offered for the Glock 17 and 19, H&K VP9, and 4.5″ S&W M&P in 9mm and .40 S&W. The holsters accommodate the SureFire X300 and X300 Ultra Weapon Lights.

SOFIC 2015 – Blue Force Gear

May 19th, 2015

While located at an offsite location, Blue Force Gear is very much here at this year’s SOFIC. They debuted their “wall of gear” and a couple of things caught my eye.

First off is the Triple M4 Mag Now! Pouch hitting the site for sale within the week.
Next is the Water Bottle Pouch that is currently available for agency purchase. It holds both 1 Qt canteen and Nalgene bottle.

Seen here are MultiCam Tropic and Arid examples. The matching trims and pulls aren’t in yet so these protos use standard MultiCam.

Like all BFG products these are Made in USA and incorporate MOLLEminus features as well as Helium Whisper technology.

Huron Tactical – Approach Anorak

May 19th, 2015

This is the first installment of a three-part exclusive sneak peek at Huron Tactical’s new pack and clothing line. While I showed you the new Huron Tactical Smock as well as the Approach Anorak back in January, I finally got my hands on one of the Anoraks and I’ve got to say that it’s my favorite new Huron product.

I worn the Huron Smock last week while hunting in New Zealand at Woodbury Safari Lodge. It’s late Fall there and the conditions change by the minute. It can go from cold wind and rain to warm sunshine in an instant, but the Anorak’s full side zips allow you to vent on the fly as well as facilitate rapid donning and doffing in the event you need to add or shed underlayers. The DWR coated four-way stretch softshell fabric also does an excellent job of repelling water, even in rain.

Additionally, the Approach Anorak incorporates nonslip elbows, a 1/4 front zip, removable hood, zippered bicep pockets with Velcro field for ID patches and an excellet Kangaroo pocket that sits atop a large zippered handwarmer pocket. Both of these chest mounted pockets feature elastic holders for M16-style magazines for a total of two per pocket. Finally, they’ve added a Cordura panel along the rear hem for sitting on ice or on other wet areas.

It is not quite as generously cut as the Huron Smock but I still recommend going down a size unless you are pairing it with a high loft insulation layer underneath. I usually wore it over a Merino base layer and Gen 2 Naga Hoodie from Arc’teryx LEAF and was very comfortable, even while sitting.

For all of these reasons, it has made the list of kit I recommend.
