Friday, April 14th, 2017

Exhibiting for the first time at this year’s Marine South is United States Tactical. They had their debut during SHOT Show in the Red Rock Outdoor Gear’s booth. So far, they’ve introduced some slings and belts but they also have a K9 line in the works.

Designs are by former Marine Jeff Kyle, who some of you may know from his philanthropic work with his brother Chris. They told me that they are working to get their products introduced into the Marine Corps Exchange.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at next week’s Warrior West Expo, April 19th & 20th in San Diego, CA. If you haven’t preregistered, get on it. You’ll still be able to register in site but the process will go faster if you do it before hand. Registration closes Sunday at 2359 EDT.

Additionally, WING will be offering boat rides in the harbor and Mustang Survival is providing PFDs, while KokoKat is letting people demo dry gear.

Warrior West gets better and better each year. In addition to a cool T-shirt, attendees have access to the latest gear on the market as well as training programs and seminars. Also, let’s not forget the Warrior Bash, an evening event where you can link up with old friends and make some new ones. Download the show guide here for full details.

Office Of Naval Reasearch TechSolutions Develops New Steam Suit For Submarine Crews

Thursday, April 13th, 2017

Sailors from the Los Angeles class-attack submarine USS Toledo (SSN 769) try out a prototype submarine steam suit ensemble during an orientation class held at Naval Submarine Base New London. The Navy Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) via the Office of Naval Research (ONR) TechSolutions Office has funded the Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility (NCTRF) to develop the next generation of protective gear for emergency responders to steam line leaks aboard submarines.

Excellent work by the material developers on this project!

Marine South – Double 40mm Pouch from Blue Force Gear

Thursday, April 13th, 2017

Manufactured from lightweight ULTRAcomp, this double 40mm pouch uses their MOLLE compatible, proprietary Helium Whisper Attachment System. It also features Velcro adjustable lids in order to accept different length 40mm rounds. However, materials aside, my favorite feature of BFG’s suite of pouches is the tactile tab on the lids.
