Nintendo 2DS Tactical Case from Zulu Nylon Gear

April 1st, 2015

  
The Nintendo 2DS is an excellent man-portable, field use time wasting device. The single piece construction minimizes moving parts making it particularly durable and well suited for use in a tactical environment. However, the dual screens are left exposed and susceptible to impact and scratching. The Zulu Nylon Gear 2DS Tactical Case was developed as a dedicated, protective sleeve to cover the dual screens when loose in your ruck or when mounted to MOLLE web gear. The 2DS Tactical Case also features 3 slots for additional game cartridges and a large Velcro loop field on the flap for displaying morale patches. The Case can be mounted to any MOLLE compatible platform with 2 Short MALICE Clips (not included). It is currently available in Black, Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, Multicam, and ATACS AU. As with all other Zulu Nylon Gear products, the 2DS Tactical Case is made in the USA with high quality, milspec materials.

“You Can’t Patent Colors” (Especially When You Can’t See Them)

April 1st, 2015

Last year, PEO Soldier’s ‘Camo Czar’ COL Robert Mortlock famously commented to the Army Times that you cannot patent colors, when referring to the combat proven coloration of Crye Precision’s MultiCam pattern. Not long after, the Army went on to appropriate Crye’s color palette for their new Operational Camouflage Pattern. According to sources close to the program, it wouldn’t matter to COL Mortlock even if you could patent colors, because as it turns out, he is colorblind.

This artist’s depiction (right) of MultiCam gives you an idea of how the colorblind might interpret the pattern.

Rumor has it, COL Mortlock will be receiving his annual eye exam this afternoon. Hopefully nothing else will turn up.
