The Stealth Pant ADP from S.O.D. Gear is a water-resistant softshell pant designed in collaboration with the Italian Army’s Mountain Corps (4th RGT Alpini Paracadutisti). It’s not just a softshell fabric version of S.O.D.’s Para One Combat pant, but a completely different design; optimized for climbing and compatability with climbing harnesses, with a streamlined fit.
The latest evolution of the popular Force 10 Cargo pant from Triple Aught Design is the Force 10 Cargo Pant in NYCO Ripstop. This latest incarnation offers increased durability (over the previous 100% cotton ripstop version), more organization capability, and an updated fit.
Following in the footsteps of the Predator and Raptor, the Spectre HS is Triple Aught Design’s newest hardshell offering. While the Raptor ProLite Hardshell Jacket was designed primarily as a lighter and more packable version of their popular Predator Hardshell for backpacking and mountaineering; the Spectre is more similar to the Predator, which was intended as fully featured tactical hard shell with all the bells and whistles. Constructed of a heavier-duty 3-layer waterproof breathable fabric from GE’s eVent Professional Line Division, the Spectre is loaded with all the distinctive features that defined TAD’s jackets.
The Skin 01 Shirt from S.O.D. (Special Operation Department) is a stretch fabric ‘compression’ shirt designed as a snug-fitting light weight baselayer for comfort in all climates. S.O.D. is an Italian manufacturer of military clothing that collaborates with and produces clothing and equipment that is used by Italian and allied military units in a variety of theatres.
The VERTX Tactical Short is a direct modification of the VERTX Tactical Pant, and provides a hot-weather alternative for those who like the same practical and low profile features of the Pant.
The S.O.D. Short Pant 01 from S.O.D. (Special Operations Department) is a short pant based loosely on their Para One Pant 1.2. Some of the ‘combat features’ have been toned down for the shorts, to make them more suited for everyday wear.
Like the DK jacket from OTTE Gear, the interesting new DK Hybrid Jacket is designed for movement-intensive operations and activities, and includes the ability to roll up the sleeves to convert it to short-sleeved configuration. While similar the DK, the Hybrid is a more streamlined jacket made of a combination of hard shell and soft shell material to provide the weather protection of a hard shell in the most exposed area and the comfort and breathability of a shoft shell when worn under armour.
I’ve re-organized the Clothing Sections in the left menu on the main page by type, instead of everything being mixed up. I now have categories like ‘Light Weight Base Layers’ and ‘Insulated Soft Shells’ etc where similar types of garments are grouped together.
The individual review links still go to the old pages as it was too much work to re-link them all, plus quite few external sites link to those page. They’ll still be there, but from now on I’ll use the new categories.
