SplashGuard and Waterproof Liners from S.O.Tech

April 24th, 2009

S.O.Tech has been really hitting it hard this year developing and releasing an entire new load carrying system called the Mission Pack System. To complement this new system, they have just released the SplashGuard Liner constructed of 420D polyurethane-coated fabric. The bag closes at the top which is rolled down and buckled shut to protect the contents from moisture as well as sand and other debris. This style features webbing on the closure to provide additional strength and durability as well a convenient carry handle.

S.O. Tech has also unveiled a waterproof bag with a water-tight closure making it a fully submersible liner. It also has an elbow valve to bleed off excess air or to inflate the liner to improve buoyancy. The liners are manufactured in accordance with MIL-0-81375B (Oral Inflation Assemblies, Survival Equipment, Inflatable).

Both styles are currently available in two sizes to accommodate the Mission Go Bag as well as small packs. For additional information or to order visit www.specopstech.com.

Support Our Advertisers

April 24th, 2009

As you have noticed, the look of Soldier Systems Daily has changed as well as the level of coverage. This is due to a large extent, to support from our advertisers. We feel it is important for us to explain to our advertising program to our readership. We publish news. Our coverage of new products, services, materials, government programs, and industry news takes us in a lot of directions and we spend a lot of time writing about the unknown. News coverage should not be considered an endorsement unless otherwise specified. Our new advertising program is however, something altogether different.

While many would understand that accepting advertising from a vendor of products or services is an endorsement of Soldier Systems Daily by the advertiser, we look at this as a two way street. We consider at each potential advertiser and the types of products and services they provide. We regard each ad we publish as an endorsement by Soldier Systems of the advertiser. Additionally, we consider our advertisers as partners and work hard to develop a relationship that we can leverage to benefit reader, advertiser and us. An example of this are special promotions and contests that we are developing in conjunction with our advertisers to benefit our dedicated readership.

Soldier Systems will continue to break the news and provide information on the latest products and services for the Soldier Systems industry but take a moment to check out our advertiser’s websites and consider one or more of them to satisfy your next requirement.

Ghillie Hut from MMI

April 22nd, 2009

Montgomery Marketing debuted their new Ghillie Hut at the Spec Ops East Show in Fayetteville, NC. The manufacturers of the new SOCOM Patrol Pack have just completed an in-depth research project to ascertain the requirements of the Sniper community. The Ghillie Hut was designed to allow the Sniper to tailor the hide to the operational environment as well as individual taste.

It consists of a Veil, Frame, and Floor components. Due to the modular design the components can be used alone or together to form a Sniper’s Hide. The Veil is manufactured from a new printed mesh fabric and provides thermal as well as visual camo. MMI exhibited numerous swatches of fabric in various prints including camo patterns as well as a large map. The Frame is of a pop-up, hoop design and the the Floor is removable. The Frame is fully adjustable via side release buckles and tape webbing. Tension can be applied to the frame in order to form different shapes. Then, either the Veil or other camouflage material can be applied via magnet attachment points along the frame. Even placement of these magnets can be customized by the Sniper. The system is very lightweight and weighs in at less than five pounds with all components.

The Ghillie Hut is the first of several planned products developed specifically for the Sniper community. Future additions include a Ghillie Suit and Drag Bag.

Available soon from www.mmi-fed.com.
