Zensah Training and Muscle Recovery Leg Sleeves
October 18thZensah has developed recovery leg sleeves using a special knitting process and their stretchy fabric. From the Zensah site: “The Calf/Shin recovery sleeves are made with gradient compression which provides wide ribbing in the front for shin support, and tight ribbing in the back for calf support. The sleeves are made with Zensah Fabric® which has silver helping regulate skin temperature, and fight bacteria. The sleeves can be worn during training to increase oxygen blood flow to the muscles of the lower leg. The more oxygen the muscles receive the faster they recover allowing athletes to push the envelope in their training. The Zensah Calf/Shin sleeve is ideal for runners, cyclists and triathletes. It can be worn during training, recovery or for traveling after races.

TAD Gear Battle Hoodie
September 26thTriple Aught Design (TAD Gear) comes out with new stuff faster than I can keep up. The Battle Hoodie was designed as a cool/cold temperature, arid-desert warfare hooded jacket. It’s a specialized jacket, and was produced in response to very specific requests for a quiet, non-melting, insulated garment for dry environments. TAD Gear was asked to design a garment that would be tasked for the colder months at higher altitudes in Afghanistan and Iraq. It had to be no-melt and was to be used in dry/arid environments, so a cotton blend for the outer fabric was chosen. Warmth was desired, so it is fully lined with a cotton liner. The Battle Hoodie is the garment that resulted from this criteria.
OTTE Gear Alpine Trouser
June 2ndThese are OTTE Gear’s matching soft shell trouser to the Alpine Jacket. The OTTE Gear Alpine Trouser is a lightweight, breathable and weather resistant soft shell pant. It’s also available in Black, Crye MultiCam and Foliage Green. A matching softshell pant is also available.
This is something a lot of people have been waiting for (I, for one) - a MultiCam Soft Shell. It’s been a couple of years since I saw the prototype at the 2006 SHOT show in OTTE Gear’s booth, and it’s finally available now. OTTE’s Soft Shell line is called the Alpine line (their hard shell/Patrol Parka is in the writeup below). Featured here is OTTE Gear’s Alpine Jacket, in Crye MultiCam. It’s also available in Black, Coyote and Foliage Green. A matching softshell pant is also available.
TAD Gear Force 10 Utility Top
May 2ndTAD Gear now has the companion top to their popular Force 10 Cargo Utility Cargo Trousers; the Force 10 Utility Top. Constructed of the lighter weight Crye Multicam 50/50 NYCO shirt weight twill, the TAD gear ‘black label’ Force 10 top has a host of practical features, like the trousers, and is made in the U.S.A.
Triple Aught Design (TAD Gear) has introduced two new hardshell jackets, the Combat Anorak and Bug Out Anorak Hardshells. The Combat Anorak was designed to be the most abrasion-resistant hardshell available, that would stand up to just about anything you could throw at it. The Bug Out Anorak was designed to provide protection from the elements in a more compactable package for stowing. They’re essentially Anorak versions of the Predator Hardshell, and share many of the same features.
