SABRE® releases PenCott-SnowDrift™ “Ghostwalker” gear

“Become one with your environment” reads the strapline for SABRE’s ‘Ghostwalker gear’ line-up in PenCott-SnowDrift™.

The complex design of the PenCott™ family does indeed look more organic and natural than other patterns.  The combination of multi-sized fractal shapes, dithered boundary layers and 360° pattern geometry disrupts the shape of the wearer and blends into the terrain with amazing effectiveness.  So we can totally understand why Sabre chose this strapline and product family name.

Developed with input from the Sniper cadre at the International Special Training Center (formerly known as the International LRRP School) in Pfullendorf, Germany, Sabre’s Special Forces Smock, Gen.III and Sniper Trousers, Gen.II are renowned within the ranks of German and NATO special Operations Forces – and their PenCott GreenZone and BadLands products have been in use with a number of  special operations units – both at home and overseas.

The Sabre Ghostwalker Gear line is made from US-produced, milspec, durable-water-resistant-finished, 50/50 NyCo ripstop and water-proof 500D Cordura Nylon fabrics.  And these professional-level garments feature a comprehensive set of features and pockets to deliver the performance – and carry the gear – to accomplish even the most demanding missions.

O’Neill Ops mix it up a bit with BadLands™ and SnowDrift™

It is very much the fashion these days to wear camouflage that’s all “matchy-matchy” – in other words, for everything from your boots to your hat and your gloves to your belt and everything in between to be in the same, perfectly matched camouflage pattern.

1467318_731603190184652_1192474712_nHowever, sometimes its good to mix things up a bit – especially in “transitional” terrain or seasons.  In these photos we see the guys from O’Neill Ops using this principle to great effect on the plains of South Dakota recently with a combination of PenCott-BadLands™ and PenCott-SnowDrift™.

UF PRO® Striker Combat Shirt – Silent Heroes Edition

This limited edition version of the UF PRO® Combat Shirt was designed and manufactured for the Silent Heroes Foundation’s Special Interdiction Unit rhino protection project. The shirt was specifically designed to provide excellent wearability, comfort and camouflage properties in the harsh South African environment. 

The sleeves are made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop BadLands camouflage fabric and are equipped with the typical Striker pocket configuration.  The moisture-wicking, quick drying torso and arm pit areas use a new Merino/COCONA® knit to provide optimum comfort and durability.  The COCONA® fibre also contain active charcoal in order to avoid bad odours.

The UF PRO® air/pac® inserts in the shoulder area and D3O® Trio Mid protectors in the elbow areas provide additional wear comfort.

Priced at 75 EUROs, the Striker Combat Shirt – Silent Heroes Edition is available in limited quantities at the UF PRO webstore.

Good Guys wear GreenZone™

Although PenCott™ patterns are in use with a number of elite police and military special operations units, its not very often that photographs emerge of these units wearing the patterns in action.

However, last week a photograph appeared of Austria’s elite SWAT unit “Einsatzkommando COBRA” in action during the operation to apprehend a poacher who’d murdered a paramedic and 3 policemen.

Above:  an EKO COBRA scout/sniper team prepare their equipment as armed officers surrounded, and later stormed, the farmhouse complex where the perpetrator had barricaded himself in.  The perpetrator was found dead – from a self-inflicted gun shot.  The COBRA team is wearing boonie hats, Special Forces Smocks and Sniper Trousers from SABRE.
