Lots of First Lite Fusion Camo Options

February 12th, 2015

We told you to keep an eye out for First Lite’s Fusion camouflage at SHOT Show. Designed as a universal patter for hunting, Fusion has been applied to a wide variety of products which were on display at last month’s SHOT Show. These include chest rigs for hunting, packs, carbines, hard and softshell clothing and even a fat tired bike that we couldn’t photograph because it was surrounded by onlookers.

FUSION FEATURES:
-Large Shape Disruption (nature-based algorithms)
-Small-Medium Texture Disruption (nature-based algorithms)
-Disruptive Coloration (with a carefully curated pallet of nine colors)
-Focal and Depth Confusion (both focal and peripheral vision is greatly affected)
-Light and Dark Crackleture (further distorts the subjects overall body shape)

Airsoft BBs Used to Test Continuous Filament Knit Aramids for Extremity Ballistic Protection

February 12th, 2015

Army Research Labs recently subjected several new fabrics to ballistic testing to see how they might perform in protecting against explosively launched debris for applications in clothing and other gear such as Protective Under Garments. They chose airsoft BBs from BB Bastard as test projectiles because they replicate the size and weight of gravel particles.

The report is quite interesting for those of us interested in materials, ballistic or for those who want a peek into what testing actually entails.

The Fat Tire is a new hiking shoe coming Fall 2015 from Under Armor.

Integrating the Boa closure system, the Fat Tire offers a custom fit at the twist of a dial along with rapid donning and doffing. It also features a GORE-TEX upper with a Cupron infused fabric liner as an antimicrobial. This sits atop a UA Charge mid-sole for cushioning but probably the most striking feature of the Fat Tire is the Michelin sole. The Wild Gripper outsole offers lugs at the bottom as well as up the edge of the sole to improve grip while scrambling up the trail. Coming in numerous colors including UA’s Ridge Reaper camo pattern.
