OTTE Gear MultiCam Alpine Trouser
December 26thThis is another item that I’ve been waiting for: OTTE Gear’s matching soft shell trousers to the Alpine Jacket in Crye MultiCam. The OTTE Gear Alpine Trouser is a lightweight, breathable and weather resistant soft shell pant. It’s also available in Black, Lt Coyote, Sand and Foliage Green.
APCU Level 1 Baselayer Top
October 5thAdventure Tech’s APCU (Advanced Protective Combat Uniform) mirrors the PCU (Protective Combat Uniform) system with the seven garment layers. The Adventure Tech APCU Level I - SS (Short-Sleeved) Lightweight Baselayer Top (available from USCAV) is a stretchy, Level I base layer shirt with breathable panels and X-Static silver fiber.
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.
Arc’Teryx Combat Jacket in Crye MultiCam
August 23rdIt’s been about three years since we first saw the prototype Arc’Teryx Combat Jacket from the LEAF (Law Enforcement and Armed Forces) division of Arc’Teryx in Crye MultiCam, and now, the production version is finally available. The Combat Jacket has been available in black and crocodile, but the development of the softshell MultiCam material is what took so long. The Combat Jacket was designed with comfort and versatility as the driving design factors, and is constructed with Arc’Teryx’s signature quality and workmanship that have all the other companies playing catch-up.
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.
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.
TAD Gear V3.0 Ranger Hoodie
February 28thUpdated and improved for 2008 is TAD Gear’s V3.0 Ranger Hoodie. It’s the follow-on to the V2.0 Ranger Hoodie shown above, which after about 10 months of use, remains my favourite fleece hoodie (until this V3.0 came out). As before, it’s patterned similarly to the Stealth Softshell Hoodie, and some of the updates for the V3.0 follow those seen on the new SS V3.0 Stealth Hoodie and Jacket.
TAD Gear Stealth Hoodie SS v3.0 and Stealth Jacket
February 9thTriple Aught Design’s (TAD Gear) Stealth Hoodie SS v3.0 and Stealth Jacket v3.0 are the next generation of their successful Gen 1 and 2 Stealth Hoodie Soft Shells covered here. The only difference between the Hoodie and the Jacket is that the Jacket lacks a hood, having a stand-up collar instead. With water resistance approaching that of a hard shell, but having the stretchiness and breathability of a soft shell, the new v3.0 Stealth Hoodie and Jacket end up somewhere in-between - a hybrid of sorts, further blurring the line between hard and soft shell.
