Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

Hyde Definition‘s PenCott Snowdrift is a 3-in-1, omni-directional, multi-scalar, fractal pattern geometry, with 3 specific colors analyzed and selected for Snowdrift, creates a pattern that vanishes into the textures of the natural environment.

The suit comprises a parka and trousers set that features multiple pockets, and reinforcing patches on the elbows, knees and seat. It was developed by Hyde Definition with Griffin Manufacturing of Fall River, Massachusetts at the request of a private military company, but will also be available soon directly from Hyde Definition.

UVR Defense Tech Photographs PenCott Camo in Visual, near-Infra-Red and near-Ultraviolet

Monday, December 10th, 2012

UVR Defense Tech has photographed Hyde Definition’s PenCott GreenZone and BadLands patterns printed on 50/50 NYCO in the visible, near-IR, and near-UV portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

UVR Defense Tech applied their patented “UVRC-A 7%” treatment to the left panel in the photos. It’s a permanent micro-thin nano-particle film that is transparent to the visible and near-IR wavelengths, yet reflects an amount of ultraviolet light consistent with the surrounding environment. In the example below, the UVRC-A 7% treated fabric blends with the natural foliage that reflects up to 7% of the ambient ultraviolet light.

From top to bottom, the images show – Visible Light, near-IR, and near-UV:

This indicates how UV reflectance affects camouflage as well as the implications of UVR Defense Tech’s solution.

Grey Ghost Gear Pack Giveaway

Monday, July 16th, 2012

Let’s face it, the Lightweight Operator Packs from Grey Ghost Gear look great. My kids wore them to last week’s Warrior Expo Week and they spent most of their visit explaining where they got them. Somehow that turned into a rumor that someone was giving them away. Well now they are.

Grey Ghost Gear has had a lot of success with their PenCott pattern packs but they want to know if they should keep making them, or if they should try out a different camouflage, or better yet, both. Grey Ghost wants to know what you think, but they want to hear your opinion on their Facebook page. They value your opinion so much that they are willing to give away a pack a day for three days running. This means that today, they will give away a Badlands, tomorrow a Sandstorm and on Wednesday a Greenzone pack.

To enter, visit www.facebook.com/pages/Grey-Ghost-Gear and Like them. And then tell them that Soldier Systems Daily sent you and which camo patterns they should make packs in.

They will randomly draw a winner from those posts each evening. You don’t have to reenter each day, once is enough, but you can only win once. Void where prohibited.
