Gaston J. Glock style LP Releases Rough GTX Coat And Pants Designed By Chevalier

December 3rd, 2014

Chevalier, designers of the exclusive Rough GTX outerwear for GASTON J. GLOCK style LP, is a leading international designer and manufacturer of classic and modern hunting clothes since 1950.

Smyrna, Ga. (December 2014) – GASTON J. GLOCK style LP, purveyors of fine quality hunting and shooting sports apparel and accessories, is pleased to announce the recent addition of the Rough GTX Coat and Pants for both men and women to its hunting apparel line.

The Rough GTX Coat and Pants are made in Poland where hunters know a thing or two about unpredictable weather and harsh temperatures. Chevalier included a wind and water repellent Gore-Tex® membrane to keep the wearer dry and warm during the harshest downpours and a mesh lining to transport sweat and moisture away from the body. A convenient two-way zipper on the Rough GTX Coat allows the wearer to unzip the coat from the bottom, providing more freedom of movement and comfort in various positions.

The Rough GTX Coat, ideally suited for both stalking game and blind/stand hunting, is made of a resistant, roughened and reinforced polyester creating a robust, scratchproof hunting jacket. The Rough GTX Pants have sturdy reinforcements on the front of the legs and strong, yet light, outer fabric on the back and top to protect hunters and dog handlers from thorny undergrowth and low-hanging branches that they’ll encounter while stalking or flushing out their prey. Chevalier’s attention to detail includes draw strings on the coat waist and seam, as well as pre-bent knees and an elasticated waist on the pants, allowing the clothing to perfectly conform to the wearer’s body, ensuring the best possible fit, comfort and freedom of movement. The Rough GTX Pants have additional buttons at the waistband which allow for suspenders to be added if desired, while strap closures at the pant hemline allow the huntsman or woman to adjust the leg width in accordance with their footwear.

The Rough GTX Coat and Pants come with thoughtfully designed pockets for all of the wearer’s hunting needs. For example, the coat comes with two bellows chest pockets with cartridge holders that can hold up to five cartridges each. Chevalier and GASTON GLOCK style LP have also incorporated smaller storage pockets for cellphones and GPS devices and even an inner pocket for secure storage of wallet and driver’s license in the coat. There are also two large, lined hand-warming pockets at chest level and a pocket comprising the length of the jacket in the back for stowage of small game. The pants also have many practical zippered pockets that provide ample storage space, such as two slit side pockets with elastic pleats, two large side pockets on the outer thighs, a patch pocket with Velcro closure on the right thigh and a slot pocket on the back left leg.

The Strapless Backpack System is a project currently on Kickstarter.

The funding itself is not for the product, but rather to keep the manufacturing of the system within North America, as it currently is.

CORDURA – Combat Wool Fabric

December 3rd, 2014

New materials really are at the core of providing truly new garments. Let’s face it, you can only make a combat shirt but so many ways. But when you add in a new fabric, possibilities become realities.

wolly-bully

The same CORDURA brand that you know for making texturized nylon used in most of your field equipment has come out with a new fabric called Combat Wool. It consists of a blend of merino wool and nylon, intended to combine the comfort and durability of its base parts. CORDURA claims, through an independent study, that Combat Wool offers 10x better abrasion resistance, 2.1x better tensile resistance, and 1.4x better tear resistance when compared to 100% merino wool fabrics while maintaining the same look and feel. It is currently available in a variety of styles and constructions, including base/mid-layer knits, double face wovens, canvas, ripstop, twills, dobby, and stretch woven fabrics.

SureFire Releases Its Most Powerful LED Flashlight Ever

December 3rd, 2014

Fountain Valley, CA — SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high-end illumination tools and tactical products, has commenced sales of its most powerful LED flashlight in the company’s 35-year history. The new UDR Dominator® boasts a maximum output of an incredible 2,400 lumens, a level previously not attainable via light emitting diode (LED) technology.

“This represents a significant milestone for SureFire and is only the beginning of things to come as LED technology continues to evolve and improve,” said SureFire Director of Marketing Ron Canfield. “It’s yet another first from a company with a long history of firsts, including inventing the first WeaponLight and the first tactical flashlight.”

UDR_grate_5

With its ultra-high maximum output and a deep precision reflector to shape the light into a far-reaching beam, the Dominator qualifies as a “tactical” flashlight, given its obvious military, law enforcement, and border security applications. But it’s also well-suited for maritime use, search-and-rescue operations, or any other application where an ultra-bright, portable searchlight would prove useful. Along with its 2,400-lumen max setting, the variable-output Dominator also produces eight other useful output levels and even has a strobe-light setting, designed to disorient an aggressor, and a disable feature to prevent accidental activation.

The Dominator is one of several “dual-fuel-capable” flashlights produced by SureFire, which means it can be powered by an included lithium-ion rechargeable battery or by twelve disposable 123A batteries, for situations where recharging the light between uses may not be an option. A built-in, color-coded LED fuel gauge keeps users abreast of remaining battery power, and the light can be charged via an AC wall socket or a DC vehicle socket. Built to be as rugged as it is powerful—for the obvious outdoor uses for which it is intended—the UDR is constructed of lightweight but strong aerospace aluminum, is hard anodized with a durable Mil-Spec finish, and has O-ring and gasket seals to protect sophisticated internal electronics from moisture and debris.

The UDR Dominator has an MSRP of $1,370 and is currently available for purchase through authorized SureFire dealers. It will also soon be available for purchase directly from SureFire by calling 800-828-8809 or visiting surefire.com online.

Saab Barracuda – Soft Armor System

December 3rd, 2014

Saab Group based in Sweden has developed a Modular Soft Armor protection system. It is modular in that it consists of hollow panels which can easily be joined together with standard tools before being filled with the anti-ballistic ceramic cores. These panels can also easily be integrated into any new military or civilian vehicles and infrastructure, or existing vehicles and infrastructure. The system weighs only 180 kg/m² with a thickness of 120 mm which can be compared to concrete at 500 kg/m² and RHA at 200 kg/m². Perhaps most importantly, it has been tested to offer ballistic protection of up to NATO 7.62 AP ammo, STANAG level III.
