MultiCam Materials – Omega

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Every two weeks SSD showcases a different MultiCam print fabric from Duro Textiles LLC. This week, we are covering Omega. MultiCam is a single camouflage pattern designed to hide the wearer in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. After a great deal of commercial success and adoption by elements of US Special Operations Forces, in 2010 MultiCam was selected for use by the US Army as its Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP).

Duro’s Omega is a polyester mesh which offers a high tear strength matrix featuring a 2mm hole diameter. This means high breathability and the ability to look through fabric for camouflage applications. This product is commonly used for concealing vehicles as well as creating lightweight and high strength tactical gear. One place you will see it is on the new helmet covers from Crye Precision and FirstSpear. However, one of the best applications we have seen is Tactical Concealment Manufacturing Corp’s MCM Cobra with Hood which is a ghillie foundation.

Finished Width – 58 inches cuttable approximately
Finished Weight – 8 oz/yd² approximately
Fiber Content – 100% polyester
Mesh Holes – 10 per inch both directions
Tear Strength – 16 lbs typical both directions

Tactical Concealment’s MCM Cobra with Hood is a great ghillie foundation. It’s cloak-like design is intended for use as an “Assaulter’s Ghillie” and can be worn in conjunction with combat equipment such as armor vests and load carrying systems as well as low profile backpacks. Additionally, the hood is oversized to accommodate a helmet. Notice that the sleeves are short so that it won’t impede your ability to operate your weapon or other equipment. Finally, Tactical Concealment has bartacked a grid of 550 parachute cord along the hood, arms and back of the garment in order to add garnish and customize the Cobra for your own use.

Duro offers progressive pricing based on the number of yards ordered. For more information on this or any of the full line of MultiCam fabrics visit www.multicamfabric.com or email Galpen_Ben@DuroLink.com.

Monday, May 21st, 2012

Crye Precision is expanding their operations at their home in the Brooklyn Navy Yard as one of the new tenants in the recently announced $46 Million Green Manufacturing Center. This will reportedly more than double their current space and number of employees.

A press release from the New York Governor’s office contained this information:

Crye Precision – a premier designer and manufacturer of body armor and apparel for the U.S. military as well as federal and state law enforcement agencies – which was awarded $1 million through the New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process, has agreed to become one of two lead tenants at the new Green Manufacturing Center. Crye currently operates in four separate spaces at the Navy Yard, with 110 employees, and will now lease 80,000 square feet, consolidating multiple sites into one central location. Crye decided to expand in the Navy Yard after considering numerous options for consolidation and expansion, including New Jersey.

The company’s expansion into the Green Manufacturing Center will create 100 new jobs over the next five years. Crye also has several commercial product lines under development; one uses locally recycled materials that are converted into fabrics.

Crye Precision Executive Director Caleb Crye, said, “The Navy Yard has been exactly what our business needed to grow and we are thrilled that our future will remain here. We started here a decade ago with 4,500 square feet, today we’re up to 45,000 square feet with more than 100 employees and when the new facility is complete we’ll have a more efficient operation with room to grow and add at least 100 new jobs.”

MultiCam Materials – Alpha

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Every two weeks SSD showcases a different MultiCam print fabric from Duro Textiles LLC. This week, we are covering Alpha. MultiCam is a single camouflage pattern designed to hide the wearer in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. After a great deal of commercial success and adoption by elements of US Special Operations Forces, in 2010 MultiCam was selected for use by the US Army as its Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP).

Alpha is heavier than Duro’s 40D 2-way stretch fabric and is ideal for more rugged use. It owes its stretch to a makeup of 91% Nylon 9% Spandex. Additionally, the face is NanoSphere® treated to maintain a highly water resistant finish.

Finished Width – 54 inches cuttable

Crye Precision has just released their new G3 All Weather Combat Pants. They incorporate all of the features of the G3 line of combat clothing but with the addition of Duro’s Alpha fabric. Alpha’s excellent abrasion resistance as well as wind and water resistance makes them perfect for inclement weather applications.

Crye Precision MagClip Installation

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Unveiled at SHOT Show 2011, the Crye Precision MagClip™ attaches to most M16-style magazines and allows you to clip your magazine directly to a belt or into the channels of PALS webbing . It was initially envisioned for issue M16 magazines but it does fit other mags such as the Magpul PMAG seen here. You just have to remove the entire adjustment bolt and then slide it on. You may see a slight gap once it’s tightened back up but don’t worry. It’s fine.

Available soon from cryeprecision.com.

MultiCam Materials – LAMBDA NTS

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Every two weeks SSD showcases a different MultiCam print fabric from Duro Textiles LLC. This week, we are covering LAMBDA NTS. MultiCam is a single camouflage pattern designed to help the wearer hide in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. After a great deal of commercial success and adoption by elements of US Special Operations Forces, in 2010 MultiCam was selected for use by the US Army as its Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP).

LAMBDA NTS is a high-performance, super smooth fabric designed for technical baselayers. In the past it has been used for cycling jerseys and running tights. It features a high spandex content that dramatically increases stretch and compression properties. Since it was designed for use as a baselayer, it also incorporates anti-microbial protection and moisture wicking properties.

Specs
Finished Width – 58 inches cuttable
Finished Weight – 3.75 oz/yd² approximately
Fiber Content – 92% Microfiber Polyester/8% Spandex

LAMBDA NTS was just released during SHOT Show and is so new that no one has picked it up yet but I think it’s going to make some great T-shirts. But that only makes sense as NTS stands for Next To Skin. I was able to check out a swatch at SHOT Show and it has a very cozy hand. It might also be incorporated as a stretch panel in other garments or perhaps as a torso section for a non-FR, fully printed combat shirt. I can’t wait to see how it’s used.
