Wednesday, January 16th, 2013SHOT Show – Mattock Dry Sock from Arc’teryx LEAF
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
Arc’teryx has a bevy of new products but one of the standouts is the Mattock Drysock LT. It relies on the same printed Gore fabric as the Alpha Jacket so your feet will stay dry but breath. They are tall enough that they will keep you dry almost up to your knee. Available in MultiCam and Crocodile the Mattock is offered in sizes XSmall – XXLarge.

Arc’teryx LEAF Packs – Khyber 50 & 80
Thursday, January 10th, 2013In addition to the newly introduced Khard packs, Arc’teryx has also introduced a larger Recce class pack called the Khyber. Offered in 50 l and 80 l sizes, they are available in standard LEAF colors of Crocodile and Urban Wolf Grey as well as MultiCam.
This image should give you a rather rudimentary size comparison for the two models.
Here, Arc’teryx designer Dan Green goes over the philosophy behind this great pack and its little brother the Khard. He says in the video that they started over from scratch and I can attest to the amount of development that went into these new packs. Not only did they put a lot into them but they also had the foresight to not put every feature they could think of into them.
2013 LEAF: KHARD PACK from ARC'TERYX on Vimeo.
These are very lightweight packs with the Khyber 50 weighing in at 1.8 kg / 63 oz and the Khyber 80 at 2.2 kg / 78 oz. This is thanks in part due to the C2 composite construction suspension system which is a simple, yet effective deign that is low on bulk and keeps the pack close to the wearer’s back. Like it’s smaller brother the Khard, this pack is at its core a mountaineering pack and it’s sleek design relies on internal and external lash tabs and daisy chains rather than PALS webbing to attach additional loads. The Khyber also integrates a removable top lid with hydration ports and external compression shelf.

Monday, January 7th, 2013
The crew at Haley Strategic Partners has been using Arc’teryx clothing in the still relatively new Wolf Grey color for the past few months and they have it to be great for not only night and low light operations but for just exploring the urban sprawl as well as for use in the back country.

Video Footage of the Limited Edition Arc’teryx LEAF MultiCam Atom SV from Tactical Distributors
Thursday, November 15th, 2012If you’re still on the fence about getting one of the Limited Edition Arcteryx MultiCam Atom SVs, this video footage from Tactical Distributors should help you make up your mind. Granted, it’s MultiCam so it’s a bit of a specialist piece but that’s the point, isn’t it?
It’s a great insulator and packs up quite small. There are also a couple of cool improvements over existing civilian models like a hood adjustment as well as an internal band collar.
Get yours before they are gone.
