Serket / Icelantic Skis – First Look

March 31st, 2014

Colorado-based companies Serket USA and Icelantic have partnered up to create two custom ski models designed for military use. The two models, the Huntsman and Holy Cross, are handmade in Colorado of mostly American materials. The two exceptions are the metal edges, only available from Austria, and the rubberfoil only comes from Japan.

The skis are lightweight and feature two distinct dimensions and side cut radii with arctic digital camouflage top sheets. Both skis feature wider shovels and overall platforms that can more effectively support a Soldier and gear providing efficiency and flotation in rough or untracked snow.

The Serket-Icelantic skis have been down selected by the Marine Corps Arctic Warfare Team and are currently undergoing testing in the Sierras at the MCMWTC.

More information on the USA made Serket-Icelantic skis will be available on the Serket website soon – www.serketusa.com.

Moray Commando Camo 5mm Wetsuit

March 31st, 2014

A buddy sent me the link to the Moray Commando Camo 5mm Wetsuit. His email was cryptic but described it to a “T”, it was a simple, “I found the Johnny Quest wetsuit.”

Moray wetsuits have been well known for years and this camouflaged model is intended for spear fishing. But, it might be just the ticket for guys looking to do a different form of hunting.
