TYR Tuesday – Combat Shirt

Tuesday, March 28th, 2017

During SHOT Show, TYR Tactical showed me quite a few new products. We previewed this one at the SIG Range Day, but there are many more to debut during the coming weeks including a few I’ve never seen.

Huron™ Tactical Clothing has continued to grow and evolve this past year. The utilization of state-of-the-art textiles, along with extensive field testing, has culminated in the creation of many new products. As an industry leader in the United States and now in Canada, TYR Tactical® vows to remain committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and integrity, while proudly being able to provide you with 100% US or Canadian-Made products.

TYR Tactical® is proud to announce the release of the Huron™ Hot Weather Uniform Short & Long Sleeve Combat Shirt. These featherweight redesigns are built using the same lightweight, quick drying, ultra-breathable 3.6oz nylon as our Hot Weather Uniform Blouse, along with a Polartec® Power Dry® torso for amazing comfort under armor. Both are available now at tyrtactical.com.

Huron™ Hot Weather Uniform Long Sleeve Combat Shirt

The Huron™ Hot Weather Uniform Long Sleeve Combat Shirt (HRN-HWU107-CS) was designed to be worn in both arid and humid climates. We incorporated a mix of hi-tech materials and fabric treatments to create a garment that moves moisture away from the body and dries quickly. It’s guaranteed to be the lightest most breathable combat shirt you have ever worn.

Design Features:
• Long Sleeve with Elbow reinforcements.
• Antimicrobial Polartec® Power Dry® polyester is double plaited to wick sweat away from your skin.
• Treated with No Fly Zone® Insect Repellent Technology. This treatment prevents the spread of insect borne diseases by repelling insects through fabrics which require no further processing.
• Treated with Moisture Control System (M.C.S.) technology which provides comfort and breathability. In essence, our M.C.S. finish makes high performance synthetics behave more like cotton in regards to breathability and comfort.

War Sport’s Company Description On the NRAAM Website Is, Shall We Say, Interesting

Tuesday, March 28th, 2017

I’d like to say War Sport was pranked, but brands are responsible for the descriptions submitted to the NRA Annual Meeting website.

I didn’t believe my eyes, so I checked twice. It didn’t change. Next, I checked a couple of major brands. Their’s were all legit.  This one is, interesting.  Just like the title of the post says.

Here is the link.

In case you can’t read the print in the screenshot, it says:

War Sport is dedicated to producing the lowest quality weapons systems and components for the inexperienced shooter leveraging below average technology. Through an inferior process of design and ninja-neering, our products are built to a sub standard providing inconsistent accuracy and garbage that remains unmatched across the industry. From raw materials to shooter ready, War Sport rifles, components and accessories are made in house with no attention to detail to ensure that our products never meet expectations. For more information on how pathetic we are, go to warsport.com.

Caveat Emptor – Counterfeit Tourniquets Remain An Issue

Monday, March 27th, 2017

We first mentioned counterfeit Combat Application Tourniquets back in 2010, and they had already been a problem for awhile. Recently, there has been a rash of these fake products showing up in various supply chains of law enforcement and first responder agencies. For example, this clinical bulletin was issued a few years ago by the New Hampshire Department of Safety.

Our friends at CTOMS conducted three tests in which they self-applied two counterfeit Combat Application Tourniquet (E-CAT or Element CAT) and one real C-A-T to a healthy thigh. Continuous Doppler ultrasound was conducted to assess the distal pulse. Tourniquets were tightened until failure or it was too painful to continue to tighten.

While this video is a few years old, it demonstrates how dangerous counterfeit tourniquets are.

According to North American Rescue, they’ve identified six different counterfeit CATs. While this link offers a great comparison between a genuine CAT and a counterfeit, the simplest thing to check is the windlass. If it isn’t stiff, ask for a real one.

The bottom line is, buy your tourniquets from approved sources. The buck you save, may cost a life.
