Teva is introducing their new Teva Sphere line of performance footwear.
Gerber Gear gave me a sneak peek of their upcoming Down Range Tomahawk.
This Tomahawk was designed around the task of breaching. It includes a axe head, a handle for the pry bar, a slightly curved handle to accommodate a prybar and a hammer head. Made from heat treated 420 High Carbon steel, it also incorporates a cutting blade to be used as a can opener. Additionally, the hammerhead is meant to be used. This is a working tool.
Tear-Aid is a see-through, airtight and waterproof repair tape. It is elastic and features an extreme bond. It sounds perfect for field repairs. In fact, the USCG uses it to repair their Zodiacs.
It comes in two types. Type B is for vinyl only and Type A works with all other materials.
Cilogear has introduced a signature line of packs. Now you can use the same setup as their sponsored athletes. For example, this is David Gottlieb model. He is a mountain rescue legend and relies on a special model of Cilogear’s 45 Worksack. It’s a combination of woven and non-woven fabrics to produce bomber performance. It’s fucking light and stupidly durable. Can you imagine a pack as light as 1.4 lbs stripped?
Spanish bookmaker Boreal doesn’t get much attention here in the US but their Strider model comes highly recommended by some friends of mine.
It’s a simple trekker featuring full grain leather uppers and a Boreal Dry-Line waterproof liner.
Weighing in at less than 2 oz, Nature’s Coffee Kettle is simple to use. Just just add 4 cups (32 oz) of hot water and you get real brewed coffee. What is even cooler, is that you can replace the coffee pack with a fresh one. In addition to an organic and Colombian, hazelnut and blueberry coffee, they also offer hot chocolate, apple cider, black tea and even hot tomato soup! There’s also decaf if that’s what you are looking for.
This is great for use on a LP/OP, for LE surveillance or just out hunting with your buddies or tailgating.
The Powertraveller Solarmonkey Adventurer is a great choice for military personnel not only from a Size, Weight and Power standpoint, but also from a price perspective. It’s only $130 and also comes with a PALS compatible pouch.
In addition to the integrated solar array, you can also charge the device from shore power. Not only that, but you can also daisy chain an additional device to the Powermonkey Adventurer and charge them simultaneously. It is fully waterproof so there’s no worries about carrying it in the field. it’s been successfully tested in conditions ranging from the arctic to the amazon basin to the African savannah.
The Powermonkey Adventurer comes with 5 connectors as well as a specialty connector for the Apple family of products.
