OTB Tactical Land Boots - Bushmaster and Ferdelance

Militarymoron — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 06:33:02 +0000

When I reviewed the OTB Tactical Water Boots above a year ago, I mentioned to Dan Ellis that it’d be cool to see land versions of these boots. Apparently, quite a few people were thinking the same thing, as Dan said that a line of land boots was in the works. Well, OTB Boots recently released their line of Tactical Land Boots, two of which are based on their Tactical Water Boots and the third a completely different boot.

The three Land Boots are the Bushmaster, Ferdelance (named after members of the viper family) and Thor TC. The Bushmaster is a mid cut 7″ boot while the Ferdelance is a taller (approx 9″) combat boot suitable for uniform wear. Both are available in Black and Desert Tan. The Thor TC is a mid cut boot that is patterned after a climbing boot, and designed for speed and agility. It comes in Black and Camel/Black. The black boots are aimed more at SWAT/law enforcement and foreign militaries that use black boots, while the tan versions are already in use in Iraq.

Militarymoron — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 03:33:33 +0000

Just in time for the holidays, Original S.O.E. Gear is putting out these manly Xmas stockings, fit to hang above any tactical fireplace. Made of Crye MultiCam cordura (and other colours), these stockings can be loaded up with heavy presents like ammo, knives, and all those manly toys that we like. The stockings come in two different colours of felt trim and two different sizes. There are two velcro panels sewn on, for nametapes or flags, or IR markers in case Santa uses NVGs to get around a dark living room. For the greedy folk, there are three rows x four columns of PALS on the front for additional goody-holding pouches on the larger stocking, and three columns on the small one.

From Mil-Spec Monkey (MSM) comes the MSM Loop Panels. These are used for holding items in position within loop velcro-lined compartments in bags, packs etc. MSM noticed more gear utilizing loop velcro areas for modular attachments but also noticed that there was a lack of good modular attachments on the market. So, he designed these.

TAD Gear Brain Case Watch Cap & Proline Neck Gaiter

Militarymoron — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 03:58:51 +0000

Two 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.

EMDOM USA/MM TNT (Tactical/Non-Tactical) Bag

Militarymoron — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 05:39:15 +0000

I’m proud to introduce my latest collaboration with EMDOM USA, the TNT (Tactical/Non-Tactical) Bag. This project started back in mid 2007, when I expressed my desire to Ken at EMDOM to design a bag that is practical enough for EDC (Every Day Carry) use, doesn’t look overtly ‘tactical’, but still has some gun-friendly/tactical features concealed internally. I have seen most of the ‘messenger/Spartan/tactical man-purse, patrol, tactical briefcase, bail-out bags’ out there; and there are some very good designs to fit a variety of needs. But, none of them were matched exactly what I had in mind, so I set about thinking and sketching up a design.

Zensah Training and Muscle Recovery Leg Sleeves

Militarymoron — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:01:41 +0000

Zensah 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.
