This new shooting mat from Crosstac is a lightweight version of their popular long range shooting mats. Called the Recon, it weighs only 1.2 lbs and is made of two layers of 500D Cordura and rolls to a compact 14″ x 3″ size for transportation and storage. The cool thing about this mat is that one side is MultiCam and the other is A-TACS AU. Additionally, both sides incorporate a channel for your bipod.

SHOT Show – Duro MultiCam Fabrics

Thursday, January 17th, 2013

Duro has finally introduced a MultiCam pack cloth called Gamma. This 400D fabric is printed in the MultiCam pattern and available now. It’s a lightweight fabric with a slick hand. Some will say that it isn’t very abrasion resistant and compared to 1000D Cordura it isn’t. But remember, we won a couple of wars using pack cloth. It can be a great tradeoff for low weight, you just have to consider what you’re using it for.

Australians to Deploy in New Camo Soon

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

Australian troops have been wearing MultiCam uniforms for a couple of years now. Concurrently, they’ve worked with Crye Precision to develop a distinctive Australian version of the MultiCam pattern as they had with the British military’s Multi Terrain Pattern.

According to a report on News.com.au, this new pattern is ready and will be fielded soon to Australian troops. Troops from the 7th Battalion (7RAR) along with members of the RAAF’s airfield Defence Guards will deploy in the next few weeks.

Defence Materiel Minister Jason Clare related that they have ordered an initial run of 3600 Operational Combat Uniforms worth $780,000. Additionally, they plan to order 5500 more next year from producer Pacific Brands WorkWear Group in West Footscray, Victoria from fabric milled by Bruck Textiles in Wangaratta.

Unfortunately, still no photos of the Australian MultiCam Pattern which I am told is all but indistinguishable from standard MultiCam.

As reader Phillip pointed out, this is the new AMP. When I first saw it awhile back I discounted it as I had expected the Australian version to be more distinguishable from its MultiCam base. But I checked with someone who would know and they said this looks correct as AMP.

MultiCam Shows Up Everywhere

Sunday, October 14th, 2012

At least from a branding standpoint, when the civilian consumer market thinks military, they think MultiCam. Yet another example of this is this “Military Limited Edition” bottle of firm hold styling gel from American Crew.

I took the boys in for hair cuts this morning and low-and-behold, there it was, a MultiCamesque pattern on the shelf of our local Best Cuts. Now, American Crew wants you to know that they support the USO. But this bottle illustrates an issue that someone is going to encounter starting early next year. The US Army is going to select a new family of camouflage patterns. US Government use of those patterns will be covered a licensing agreement. But commercial use, such as this bottle will controlled by the pattern developer. It’s going to be very lucrative for the winner, if they can control its licensed use. With everything from Halloween costumes to bookmarks to hair gel already out there sporting MultiCam in order to capitalize on America’s support of her military, how will the winner of the US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort get their arms around the market and control use of their IP?

MultiCam Materials – TenCate Defender M

Thursday, September 13th, 2012

SSD regularly showcases a different MultiCam print fabric from Duro Textiles LLC. This week, we are covering the Defender M fabric from TenCate. 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).

TenCate‘s Defender M is a 6.5 ounce fabric that balances durability, breathability, and comfort. Additionally, it provides FR protection at the fiber level meaning it won’t wash or wear out. Not only does it not melt or drip but also extinguishes in the event of an explosion or flame threat. Manufactured from Lenzing FR Rayon fibers which originate in Austria, TenCate mills the fibers along with other materials to create Defender M. It is then printed by Duro in the MultiCam pattern and used by finished goods producers.

Defender M is used in the manufacture of the US Army’s Fire Resistant Army Combat Uniform (FR ACU) as well as the Australian Army’s Operational Combat Uniform.

Duro will soon stock Defender M in the MultiCam print making the manufacture of FR garments easier than ever. They offer progressive pricing based on the number of yards ordered.
