Bane Motorcycle Jacket

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013

Because it's the jacket Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now

Inspired by Bane from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, this motorcycle vest is designed to look like Bane’s combat vest worn over a leather jacket. More than being just a visual design choice, however, the sleeves and collar are actually removable so that only the vest piece is worn, if wanted.

Features:

– Made from Grade A cow hide, canvas, and open weave mesh details
– Bane sleeve branding titled RISE
– Thick brass lower belt buckle
– Adjustable forearm gauntlets
– Adjustable vest sections in the sides and lower waist belt
– Removable CE-approved body armor in forearms/elbow, shoulder, and back spine protector
– Highly detailed, removable lightweight interior lining

Gerber Gear Round Up – Bear Grylls Survial Bracelet

Sunday, September 22nd, 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.

Bear Grylls Survival Bracelet

The Bear Grylls Survival Bracelet features 12 feet of paracord for survival situations. Designed as one-size-fits-most, it has a one-hand size adjustment. It also has an emergency whistle.

This survival bracelet is nice because it has 12 feet of paracord you can unwind in emergency situations. Both the bright orange color of some of the cord and the emergency whistle could be useful in case a rescue is needed. I also like how you can adjust the bracelet to fit most people. One nice feature is an elastic band on the bracelet that holds the whistle when you don’t need it.

Rio Grande Custom Grips – Custom Image Grips

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013

Brighton, CO, September 2013– Rio Grande Custom Grips announces their move in to full custom design handgun grips (also known as stocks). If it is a customer supplied image, logo, text, photograph or whatever, Rio Grande can get it on your favorite handgun’s grips.

143

This gives proud handgun owners the ability to say their thing on their grips and for a surprisingly low price. How low you ask?

Well, the initial design and production setup and application of the image into the first pair of handgun grips is only $112.95 and you get a set of finished personally customized grips.

142

After that first pair and custom image set up the price drops to their regular $54.95 for subsequent grips you may want. And if at that time you only wanted the first pair and later want more with that same image, they keep your information on file and you pay ONLY their regular price of $64.95 for a single pair and $54.95 each for multiple pairs!

And if you order in volume such as for a unit, organization, association, company or whatever, they have excellent volume discounts available.

V2 EBR Trigger Shoe

Monday, September 16th, 2013

V2 EBR Trigger Shoe

The X-Treme Shooting V2 EBR Trigger Shoe is designed specifically for the pistol gripped SAGE EBR M14 chassis, although it also works well with chassis from TROY, McMillan, LAW483, CM, Blackfeather, Archangel, JAE, Vltor, M14E2, etc. It was created because the standard M14 trigger isn’t designed to work well with a pistol grip, given the upward direction of pull. It widens and lengthens the stock M14 trigger, giving the trigger a more rearward pull and preventing the tip of the trigger from stabbing the finger tip. Made from 100% steel.

Survival Lanyard

The Bear Grylls Survival Lanyard has six feet of paracord and an emergency whistle. It easily attaches to packs, keychains, etc.

I like how you can attach it to your gear to take it with you on trips. Having paracord is good because it is a very useful survival tool. I also like the emergency whistle and the orange color, because both make this lanyard a bit helpful for rescue purposes. I don’t like how it only has six feet of paracord.
