UF PRO Striker Combat Shirt – Silent Hero Edition

Thursday, October 17th, 2013

UF PRO Striker Combat Shirt - Silent Hero Edition

The limited edition Striker Badlands Combat Shirt was created specifically for the Special Intervention Forces of the Silent Heroes Foundation, an organization that battles illegal rhinoceros horn trade in South Africa.

It features sleeves made of 50/50 NyCo ripstop Badlands camo, which are equipped with the typical Striker pocket configuration.

The torso and arm pit area uses a new Merino/COCONA knit for quick re-drying of the torso and arm pit area, which also offers excellent wear comfort. This fiber contains active charcoal to suppress bad odor after long periods of wearing. UF PRO air/pac inserts in the shoulder area provide further comfort.

The elbow areas are designed to hold D3O Trio Mid protectors, for additional elbow protection.

Gerber Gear Round Up – Bear Grylls Scout Essentials Kit

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

Gerber gear offers a selection of knives, flashlights, belts, and other survival tools for the outdoorsman. We purchased a small variety of Gerber survival tools, and put them to the test with our own weekend warriors, our three Boy Scouts. The rules were simple. They could select any of the products that wanted but had to write about their impressions.

Each week, we’ll feature a new Gerber product review written by one of the Scouts.

BGScoutEssentials

The Bear Grylls Scout Essentials Kit is a polypropylene case that doubles as a water capturing device, filled with these survival essential items:

  • Waterproof Matches
  • Compact Scout Knife
  • First Aid Kit
  • LED Micro Torch Light
  • Button Compass
  • The kit also contains a Priorities of Survival Guide.

    I like this kit because everything in it is useful when outdoors. The basic first aid kit would be good for treating minor injuries, and having a knife and light with you is always useful. The matches and compass would also serve well in a survival situation. I also like how the case also has use as a water catcher.

    Drunk Dial Congress

    Drunk Dial Congress

    Drunk Dial Congress is a service website by Revolution Messaging that takes your phone number, which allows the service to call you and then connect you to the office of a random member of Congress, where the call is generally fielded by an unpaid, essential employee. The website also provides drink recipes and talking points to use when you call. A little outlandish, but if it gets people talking to any representatives at all, it could be a good thing.

    Lancer Tactical – MOLLE Chest Rig Review

    Friday, October 11th, 2013

    SONY DSC

    Lancer Tactical’s MOLLE Chest Rig is constructed from 600 Denier Polyester material. It features front, back, and sides PALS webbing for the attachment of pouches and other MOLLE compatible equipment. Adjustable shoulder straps, also featuring PALS webbing, have side adjusters and quick release buckles. The Adjustable waist strap has Velcro flaps and quick release buckles. The vest comes with four integrated AR-15 magazine pouches with bungie retention straps, as well as two integrated multi-purpose pouches with bungie retention straps. A hydration compartment with Velcro panel on the flap fits up to a 2.5L bladder, and a mesh compartment interior pocket allows for additional storage. The MOLLE Chest Rig is adjustable from medium to large size.

    The Lancer Tactical MOLLE Chest Rig is a customizable piece of Airsoft kit can fill a wide variety of purposes thanks to the volume of PALS webbing present on the rig. The rig is comfortable and easily adjustable, and the Velcro straps included to retain excess webbing is a nice addition. The integrated AR-15 pouches each fit one (1) STANAG model magazine with the two multi-purpose pouches good for a light, mutlitool, or, in a pinch, a pistol magazine. One feature not mentioned on the product detail is a carrying handle that is retained to the rig thanks to a strip of hook and loop; this is a nice feature that helps keep the carrying handle from getting snagged or otherwise tampered with. Overall, Lancer Tactical’s MOLLE Chest Rig is a functional rig that, thanks to is modularity, can fulfill virtually any purpose the user wants it to.

    The Lancer Tactical MOLLE Chest Rig shown above is in MARPAT, although it’s also available in ACU, Black, OD Green, and Tan.

    Haven Army Boot

    Tuesday, October 8th, 2013

    ArmyBootBrown1_1024x1024

    Made by Italian cordwainers BePositive, this ‘Army Boot’ is definitely more for style than function. It uses top-grain leather as the majority, full-grain leather at the eyelet panel and top edge, and a Woodland camo canvas quarter panel. A grosgrain heel pull and leather laces complete the construction. This boot also features a neoprene sock liner set atop hand sewn leather midsoles equipped with an EVA insert which contrasts against the black Vibram outsole.

    BG Fire Starter

    The Bear Grylls Fire Starter is compact and features a ferrocerium rod and metal striker. The laynard has an integrated emergency whistle. It comes with a waterproof storage compartment for tinder. Also included are land to air rescue and SOS instructions printed onto the tool for quick reference.

    I like the fire starter because it’s compact and has a lanyard so I can keep it around my wrist or tie it to my gear for quick access. The waterproof compartment is useful for keeping tinder around, and the whole fire starter seals together tight. The whistle is nice for emergency situations, as are the quick reference survival instructions.

    Where To Buy The DEFCON X Vans Syndicate AOR Shoes

    Sunday, October 6th, 2013

    DEFCON_GROUP_VANS_SYN_-3
    DEFCON_GROUP_VANS_SYN_-11

    There has been an overwhelming demand for information on where to buy the upcoming DEFCON X Vans Syndicate AOR shoes. Fortunately, we’ve obtained a list of retailers that consistently put at least a few pairs of Syndicate exclusives on their online stores. We were told they will all announce the shoes on their news / blog sections and usually launch in their store and online the same day. The given release date for the AOR shoes is October 15th. Please remember that supplies are limited; this is most definitely a ‘first-come-first-serve’ situation. If you’re looking for a pair then good luck!
