Revision PDQ Goggle Strap

January 6th, 2009

Revision PDQ Goggle Strap

Revision introduced a new goggle strap last fall. Designed to make protective goggles and NVG mounts a bit more compatible, the PDQ Goggle Retention System snaps onto a set of Revision Desert Locust goggles, replacing the stock strap with short velcro extensions that attach to a helmet mounted elastic halo. The halo stays in place via gripper strips on the back and a rubber O-ring that mates best with the Army One-hole style NOD mount. However, you can mess with it to get it work with other systems as well.

Available in Black, Tan, Foliage and Coyote from US Cav.

Reversible Poncho Liner from LBT

January 5th, 2009

London Bridge has been making reversible poncho liners for Government clients for some time now. Our sample is reversible from Woodland to 3 Color Desert Camo. While the materials are the same as the issue item, LBT does provide their liners with a zipper around three of the sides in order to make a simple sleeping bag.

Colors vary with contract customer requirements so selections for individual sales may be limited. Contact London Bridge Trading Company for more information.

Skull & Bones Shemagh from TAD

January 4th, 2009

TAD Shemagh

TAD Gear has reintroduced their popular Skull and Bones pattern Shemaghs. I have had the Brown and OD versions since they came out. The TAD Shemagh is very well made and epitomizes the term Tacti-Cool. They are approximately 44″ x 44″ and made from 100% cotton. Since they are cotton I suggest washing in cold to avoid shrinkage.

TAD Shemagh

Available in three new color schemes including Black with Black skulls, Grey with Black skulls, and Desert Tan with Black skulls, the new run of Shemaghs is available from Triple Aught Designs.
