DirtMonkey Puts Unbreakable IronLace To The Test
April 7th, 2016It’s been a little while since we last had anything on IronLace on SSD. A recent email from an industry contact about a video featuring IronLace gave us the perfect opportunity for a reintroduction. Said video (above) shows Stanley of NY-based Dirt Monkey University putting the IronLace boot laces through some unconventional paces, including a blowtorch and using the laces as a towing anchor. Obviously, as bootlaces, IronLaces are best used to, well, lace up boots; it certainty is a impressive display of their durability, all the same.
As a reminder, IronLace boot laces are capable of withstanding up to 1600 lbs of tension, are virtually chemical proof, UV ray resistant, water proof, abrasion resistant, and heat resistant up to 630 deg F. Additionally, IronLace’s work with RLCB has led to IronLace boot laces being categorized as a Skillcraft product.
Marine South – The National Target Company Inc / Rite In The Rain Introduce New Target
April 7th, 2016 
Rite in the Rain had a new target from The National Target Company which is printed on their waterproof paper. The 19.5″x40″ target is pretty straigh forward. It’s waterproof so it won’t become mush in the rain. You can write on it, even when the surface is damp. Available in the full rectangular version here or a die cut version of just the outline of the target with no margin.

Marine South – Ops-Core Updates Skullcrusher
April 7th, 2016I’ve been using the Ops-Core Skullcrusher for many years when I require Night Vision but I don’t need a helmet, for example, while hunting. It’s much more comfortable than the old headsets issued with the PVS-7s and 14s because it is well padded and offers several points of adjustment. Additionally, it incorporates rails at each side and has accommodation for a counterweight.
Recently, they updated the design by no longer molding the shroud plate directly into the Skullcrusher but rather offering a three hole design that will accommodate their mount or three hole mounts from other companies such as Wilcox.

Marine South – Big Ass Solutions
April 7th, 2016 
ADS Inc had Big Ass Solutions in their booth at Marine South. This model is the 6-1/2 foot tall Black Jack which is impressively quiet considering it’s, well, a Big Ass Fan. The variable blade speed Black Jack is mounted on wheels and has a 25′ cord. This chart gives you an idea of what kind of air movement you are seeing.
