Platatac is offering a field knife made for them by Hardcore Hardware Australia. Reader Chris B shared this photo of his knife with us.
They are available with either a black or coyote handle and come complete with a Kydex sheath featuring Bladetech fittings. This model is limited with only 248 pieces left.
Almost in stealth mode, we ran across this excellent bush hat from Platatac while visiting the Edgar Brothers booth. Dubbed the Grouse Bush Hat – Recon (Grouse is Australian for awesome) it’s part of a complete ensemble that includes a short and trousers.
And while it’s packed full of features like diagonal vents with mesh backing, a short brim and rear adjustment, that’s not the real story. This hat is 100% cotton ripstop in MultiCam. Platatac worked with Duro to produce this fabric based on the material used in the old jungle fatigues. That means cottony comfort gents.
That’s a good looking hat.
For a limited time Platatac is offering Pre-orders for the Cool Under Tactical Shirt, Tac Dax Pants, NYCO Smock, Bush Hat and Tactical Hat as well as Vented Tactical Hat in Kryptek Mandrake, Highlander and Typhon.
They’ve got a great guide on the site that explains sizing and from my experience it is just as it says.

If you do not pay we will ban you from our facebook page. We will not hold, nor combine this with any other orders so don’t ask. READ THE ABOVE AND UNDERSTAND IT.

The reason you are bidding: All proceeds, minus postage, will go to the Australian Commando Welfare Trust. Less than 25 of the shirts have been built so far and are in very high demand.

We recently recommended the Arc’teryx LEAF Talos LT Halfshell and we just got these photos from Haley Strategic Partners that give you some good all around shots of the Talos LT to help you get a better feel for it. As it turns out there are a whole lot of other great products in these photos like carbines from Bravo Company USA featuring parts from B5 Systems as well as armor carriers and pouches from Mayflower Research and Consulting along with holsters from G-Code. You may also notice a lot of Kryptek camouflage in these photos including some cool custom combat pants from Australia’s Platatac, not to mention some interesting gloves from Outdoor Research.
Lots of people build gun cases that look like guitar cases but the folks at UK-based Edgar Brothers asked, “what if there was a guitar case that looked like a gun case?” They posed the challenge to Australia’s Platatac and the result is the Smash Guitar Case.
It zips fully open and includes PALS webbing inside and out. Along with pile strips, it is modular and includes moveable pads in order to accommodate a variety of stringed instruments.
Available through Edgar Brothers
