January 28th, 2026

Designed by Australia’s Buzzworks, the Wraith from Wiley X is a transparent mandible for use with helmets to provide see-through kinetic protection for those operating equipment such as weapons or vehicles.

The Wraith Transparent Ballistic Mandible protects your lower face by dissipating high-velocity impact and concussive blast waves.and connects via the helmet’s rail system. It features an Optically Correct Viewing Pane which prevents the “fisheye” effect. It also offers ample room for APEL eyepro.

SHOT Show 25 – OTB Boots Pirata Low

January 28th, 2026

OTB Boots handed out some samples of their new Pirata series, a long anticipated update to the original Maritime Assault Boot from Altama, although designed by the same team that created this new line. The Pirata series consists of models: Pirata Elite (OTB / subsurface), Pirata Mid, and Pirata Low. This is the Pirata Low.

The outsole design and rubber compound are directly derived from OTB’s Abyss boot and the midsole boasts incorporates nearly an inch of advanced EVA cushioning. I can attest to the comfort for long walks.

Pirata boots feature a widened, stable fit, a slightly beveled heel for improved ground contact, and fast-rope guards on both the medial and lateral sides. An integrated Fusion Plate provides flexibility at the toe for natural movement while maintaining stiffness through the shank to support heavy rucks.

I ran into a couple of buddies on the last day of SHOT Show and noticed we were all wearing Pirata Low shoes. They are being offered in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam (missing).

Available soon from www.otbboots.co.

Hill People Gear Commuter

January 28th, 2026

SHOT Show was the first time I had seen the Hill People Gear Commuter urban pack in the wild.

It is packed with features:

Side entry padded laptop compartment will comfortably fit a 14.5″ laptop. As in, put a tape measure across the outside width of your laptop and see what it measures.The compartment is lined with velcro loop in case you want to carry something else in that compartment in an organized manner.
Main compartment is accessible via top and one side panel zip. The rear of it is lined with velcro loop for sub organization.
3/4 height mesh sleeve inside of panel opening
Full height cordura sleeve on inside of panel holds a removable foam insert, making the Commuter a padded case for camera gear or electronics
Externally accessible dimensional “ditty pocket” will hold glasses with room to spare
2/3rd height velcro loop field on outside of pack is covered by capture flap, making it a good place for items you want quickly accessible but concealed.
Bellows capture flap expands large enough to hold a bicycle helmet but lays completely flat when not in use.
Compression consists of 3/4″ bottom straps and 3/4″ straps from the compression panel to the suspension side of the pack.
On the right side, the compression panel strap is user configurable to leave no zippers unprotected, the laptop zipper unprotected, or all zippers unprotected.
On the left side, the compression panel strap is user configurable to either capture the top of the water bottle pouch or not.
Bellows water bottle pouch on the left side has replaceable bungy cord elements for good retention without the use of the top strap. Will expand to fit a 3.5″ diameter bottle (standard nalgene) but lays flat when not in use.
3/4″ tubular webbing top and side carry straps.
“Slick” HPG shoulder harness is the same contour and build quality as the standard one for extreme comfort, but removes the bungy cord tethers and related hardware and replaces the 1″ sternum strap with a removeable 3/4″ sternum strap.

Offered in several colors including Elk Brown (seen here), you can pick yours up at hillpeoplegear.com.

Trident Concepts Expands Mission with Give-Back Initiative Supporting SEAL Families

January 28th, 2026

Elite Weapons & Tactics Training Company Launches Coffee Project to Fund Direct Support Through the SEAL Legacy Foundation

Austin, TX — January 2026 — Trident Concepts, LLC, a veteran-owned company known for delivering elite-level weapons and tactics training, today announced the launch of a new give-back initiative designed to extend its mission beyond the training environment and into long-term community impact.

As part of this initiative, Trident Concepts has introduced a purpose-driven coffee project that directly supports the SEAL Legacy Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to providing careand assistance to the families of wounded and fallen U.S. Navy SEALs. For every bag of coffee sold, Trident Concepts will donate $1, with an initial campaign goal of selling 25,000 bags to generate a $25,000 contribution.

From the beginning, Trident Concepts has focused on preparing responsible citizens, armed professionals, and organizations through high level instruction and leadership rooted in real-world experience. This new initiative reflects the company’s commitment to carrying that responsibility forward; ensuring the legacy of service continues beyond the range and classroom.

“Trident Concepts has always been more than high level training and skill development,” said Jeff Gonzales, Founder and CEO. “This project allows us to add a meaningful give back component to what we already do; creating a way for our students, supporters, and partners to contribute to families who have paid an extraordinary price.”

The coffee project was intentionally designed to align with Trident Concepts’ core values: service, honor & discipline. By tying donations directly to product sales, the company has established a transparent and measurable way to support the SEAL Legacy Foundation while offering a high-quality product that fits seamlessly into everyday life.

The SEAL Legacy Foundation provides education assistance, immediate financial support, and long-term care to the families of U.S. Navy SEALs who have been killed or seriously wounded in service to the nation. Contributions from Trident Concepts will be made annually by the company and are not issued in the name of individual customers.

The campaign officially launches with a clear call to action:
25,000 bags sold. $25,000 donated. One mission extended!

Coffee products are available online through Trident Concepts’ e-commerce platform, with wholesale opportunities available for retailers and organizations aligned with mission-driven brands.For wholesale information, contact admin@tridentconcepts.com.
