TAD Gear Brain Case Watch Cap & Proline Neck Gaiter
November 4thTwo additions to TAD Gear’s rapidly expanding line of Merino Wool products are the Brain Case Watch Cap and Proline Neck Gaiter. Both are made from the finest Australian Merino Wool and are available in Black, M.E. Green and M.E. Brown.
As I’ve mentioned in previous writeups, I have very sensitive skin and am in the small minority that can find some Merino wool slightly irritating, while most other people won’t. To date, I have found all of TAD Gear’s Merino wool products to be itch-free and non-irritating, which to me, is a testament to the fineness of the Merino wool fibers used in their construction.
OPS-CORE ACH-ARC (Accessory Rail Connector)
September 5thThe new Ops-Core ACH-ARC (Advanced Combat Helmet-Accessory Rail Connector) is an accessory mounting system for the ACH and TC2000 series of helmets from MSA. The ACH-ARC kit is designed and manufactured by Ops-Core, and sold by Ops-Core and MSA. The ACH-ARC system consists of two rails that mount on each side of a helmet, that will accomodate the use of various mounting accessories to hold lights, helmet cameras, IR illuminators etc.
The new Ops-Core VAS (Visual Augmentation System) Shroud ™ is the latest product from the Boston-based company as of this writing, following up on their excellent Head-Loc Retention System. It’s a low-profile mount that fits any ACH or PASGT with standard three-hole mount pattern that’s much more affordable than most of the other mounts out there.
Outdoor Research FR Ninja Balaclava EL™
August 17thThe FR Ninja Balaclava EL is made from Massif® Stretch Nomex® Elements™ fire-resistant fabric to provide warmth when wet, and wind-resistance with full FR protection. Now you have a balaclava that will keep you dry and warm, even when it’s wet and cold out.
Sordin Gel Earseals
May 18thI’ve been using my Sordin Supreme Pros for the past two and a half years, and my only question is: what took so long for gel ear seals to be offered? I tried out and reviewed the MepaBlu hearing protectors with the gel earseals, and they were extremely comfortable. However, MepaBlu didn’t do a good job of supporting U.S. dealers and customers, so I retracted my review, which is why it’s no longer on this site. I was sold on the comfort of gel earseals, but unfortunately they weren’t available for the Sordins.
The Desert Locust Goggle System from Revision Eyewear is designed as a single-lens goggle system for extended-use wear that provides ballistic fragment protection. The optically correct, distortion-free lens provides a wide field of view. Foam covered air vents help ventilate the goggle to prevent fogging.
The Desert Locust Goggle System consists of interchangeable lenses that lock into a frame that provides a complete facial seal. There are different kits offered:
Ops-Core CBRN/Gas Mask extender
April 26th3″ CBRN/Gas Mask Extender - Shown here with the Tan X Head-Loc is the 3″ CBRN/Gas Mask Extender. This installs to the chin strap buckle, adding 3″ of length so a gas mask can be worn with the helmet. I’ve illustrated it here with a Scott M95 mask. I buckled the extender in, adjusted the straps normally, and that’s all it took to acheive a comfortable setup with the mask (as far as wearing a gas mask goes). The extender is easily removed to return the harness to it’s normal configuration.
