Propper has ACUs in the A-TACS FG print on the way for Spring 2012.
Additionally, Beez Combat Systems, Grey Ghost and TAG will be producing armor carriers and pouches.
It’s important to remember that with the release of the A-TACS FG Camo pattern, the original A-TACS Camo pattern is now known as A-TACS AU (Arid/Urban) Camo.
At 1200 EST today, A-TACS will simultaneously update their website, Facebook fan page and officially release the highly anticipated FG (Forest/Green) pattern.
This might be an overused word, but when I saw these photos I literally said to myself, “Awesome.” When Digital Concealment Systems went about developing a new woodland pattern, they didn’t just adjust the color palette of their existing A-TACS AU (Arid/Urban) but rather developed a completely new pattern from the ground up based on the shapes found in dense biomass environments. Starting with their “pattern within a pattern†concept they added simulated depth to further break up the human silhouette. According to DCS, “the organic pixels in the micro patterns are grouped into larger, more defined “macro†shapes creating larger more defined patterns. The larger organic shapes and strategically placed shadow elements within the macro pattern help to create a unique three-dimensional effect never before seen in a tactical concealment system.”

A couple of weeks ago we told you about the Spirit of Blue campaign and Blue Force Gear’s participation.
Now they’ve been joined by Leupold Tactical, A-TACS camo, L3-EOtech, and Combat Medical Systems as Safety Grant Sponsors.
Five non-profit organizations actively supporting the law enforcement community have already teamed up with the Spirit of Blue Foundation for the 2011 holiday campaign that launched in October. Those organizations – The National Troopers Coalition, Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, National Sheriff’s Association, Chicago Police Memorial Foundation and the Jeffrey S. Parola Foundation – represent roughly 125,000 officers, deputies and agents nationwide.
As partners they are promoting the sale of the Spirit of Blue’s blue ribbon holiday wreath honoring and benefiting the law enforcement community. Consumers who purchase the product during the Campaign will be allowed to select which non-profit they would like to see benefited from the sale and the Foundation will donate a portion of the proceeds accordingly. At the same time, consumers will be asked to nominate a law enforcement agency that they would like to be considered to receive a Safety Grant award. At the end of the Campaign, the Spirit of Blue Safety Grant Program randomly selects nominated law enforcement agencies to receive a safety grant award. The safety grants will be redeemable exclusively through the consortium of Safety Grant Partners made up of law enforcement equipment brands.
Established in 1999, Tactical Concealment Manufacturing, Corp is well known for their ghillie-based concealment systems. Now, they’ve added A-TACS to their line.
Products include:
The popular Mamba Suit offers the operator full body concealment. Built from scratch and constructed from the highest quality materials, the Mamba is provided ungarnished allowing the user to garnish it as best suited for their operating environment.
The Cobra system base garment is designed to be worn in conjunction and work in unison with, combat loadout equipment including LBVs, Assault Vests and slim line backpack systems. The concept is that the wearer achieve the same camouflage/concealment effectiveness a Sniper has with a ghillie suit, but scaled into a package that is practically suited toward the working needs and style of an Assaulter. The Cobra is suited for LP/OP, Reconnaissance/Intelligence Gathering, Ranging, Forward Observation, Dismounted Patrol, Ambush Line and Target Beaconing. One size fits most.
The GhillieSkins Viper Hood is a lightweight, cape-like garment that covers the head and upper body. Like the Cobra, this garment is also designed to be worn in conjunction and work in unison with combat loadout equipment including LBV’s, Assault Vests and Backpack systems. Once again, one size fits most.
On a similar note, the Snipers Boonie is designed provide head and shoulder concealment but based on a boonie hat platform. One size fits most.
Finally, the Sidewinder Chest Skid Plate does exactly what the name implies. It provides a smooth, unobstructed chest skid surface for low crawls during stalks or movements during Close Target Recces. Additionally, it provides much needed comfort and reduces physiological degradation often found against harsh ground surfaces and temperate conditions. An inner liner integrates a side entry pocket for document and map storage and allows the wearer to adjust the level of chest padding. Constructed from 1000 denier Cordura, it is a one-piece design with adjustment straps to allow for adjustment for different size wearers and a 1-inch webbing egress crotch strap keeps the SideWinder from riding-up during reverse crawls. Finally, donning and doffing is facilitated by 1-inch ITW Nexus buckles.
Predator BDU has just added several new products from Propper International in the popular A-TACS camouflage pattern. Shipping in November, the new items include a patrol cap, shorts, and the traditional BDU design – a 4 Pocket Coat and 6 pocket Pants.

They produce a variety of innovative uniform and tactical designs in their own factory, that are available primarily overseas. Their clothing in particular is worth taking a look at due to the interesting design features. Below are some extracts from a press release from DCS describing Tactical Performance.
Those tricksters over at Digital Concealment Systems launched a countdown clock for their new A-TACS FG (Forest Green) pattern designed for greener pastures. Unfortunately, a full unveiling is still three-and-a-half months off although the background for the clock gives you a hint of things to come.
