You Never Know Where They’ll Show Up
August 7th, 2015OR – Kryptek
August 6th, 2015Aside from Kryptek brand being featured in several booths, they are here with the Idaho Commerce Office. Looks like there are a couple of new colorways as well.
OR – Arc’teryx Atom SL
August 6th, 2015The Atom jacket has long been one of Arc’s most popular designs but it just too warm for late spring through early fall. Arc’teryx has answered this with the new Atom SL, coming Spring 16.
The Atom SL retains all of the styling of the heavier variants but uses less Coreloft insulation in order to work for those chilly summer nights in the desert or on a mountain. Additionally, it features a low profile uninsulated stormhood, low profile Torrent fleece side panels and the new No-Slip Zip which incorporates a “speed bump” every 14th tooth so that the zipper won’t open all the way to your chest with a simple tug.
The Atom SL will be offered in several colors but remeber, this isn’t a LEAF piece. The Grey seen here will work pretty well for most folks who want to use this on the job.
OR – Steiner Optics
August 6th, 2015 
The Steiner Optic Micro Reflex Sight is their entry into the Mini Red Dot Sight market. This Picatinny compatible sight features a 3 MOA dot which they see as a good compromise between the 2&4 MOA models out there. There are 3 variable intensity settings including automatic illumination control, all selected via the on/off button on the left side. It uses a CR1632 watch battery and offers up to 550 hours.

OR – Mystery Ranch Is Back In Retail
August 6th, 2015One of the biggest stories of 2015’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market is Mystery Ranch’s reintroduction of a consumer based, retail line. MR literally overhauled everything available commercially, and introduced new colorways with several completely new packs added to the line as well. This move means that the hunting and outdoor packs will be available through retailers all across North America. It also means that if you’ve been carrying a MR pack for work, now you can carry one for recreation as well.
Mystery Ranch founder Dana Gleason and I talked about the expansion. MR has been concentrating on military and fire load carriage for the past 15 years and these new packs incorporate a lot of lessons learned. Dana related, “It has to carry the load extremely well. Our goal for outdoor is 45-50 lbs. Nobody is going to make a 75 lbs invisible, but we will make it bearable.”
OR – Quick Fist Weapon Clamp
August 6th, 2015 
The Quick Fist Weapon Clamp from End of the Line, Inc mounts via bolt or screw and will securely mount a weapon to the wall or inside a vehicle. The mounts are intended to be spaced vertically or horizontally to hold both barrel and stock fast, and its quick release ties are rated to 100 lbs. The Quick Fist Weapon Clamp only costs $14.95 per set.
OR – SJK – Prototype Hunting Vest
August 6th, 2015 
SJK tactical and hunting gear has been working on a prototype Hunting Vest but looking at it, I can see a lot of utility here. Especially if they meet their price point goal of under $100. Naturally, it will be offered in Kryptek Highlander.
