Arktis VULCAN Jacket Now Available in GreenZone

Part of the new ‘Elite’ Range from legendary British tactical brand Arktis, the VULCAN is a packable & lightweight insulating mid-layer featuring PrimaLoft® Gold insulation. Paired with a windproof & water-resistant Nylon MiniRip to provide exceptional thermal efficiency & breathability without the bulk, even when wet.

Vulcan PenCott GreenZone front

Between its inner and outer wind-proof layers, the jacket boasts 100gsm of Primaloft® Gold across the body and 60gsm across the arms, meaning excellent thermal properties without the unwanted bulk. The design and fit keep the operator in mind. The two large front pockets have dual opening zips, providing flexibility and internal slots provide convenient storage for mobile or comms units.

Vulcan PenCott GreenZone hood

The two front pockets also feature concealed adjustment points that allow for easy use without the risk of them interfering with weapon draw. The spacious hood can be fully adjusted across three points to give maximum control over fit. All this is contained in a form factor so lightweight that it can be packed into its own pocket.

DRAGON EGG ENLARGED BACKPACK® – from Direct Action

The original Dragon Egg® backpack from Direct Action has consistently been one of the company’s best-selling products and has found a home among a wide variety of users – from commuters and hikers, to first responders, law enforcement tactical teams, and military special operations forces.

This new 30-litre capacity version should prove very capable for everyday use as well as being a good 3-day sized patrol pack. Like its predecessor, the Dragon Egg Enlarged® is made from a combination of Cordura® 500D nylon and laser cut laminate.

The main internal compartment features a zippered mesh pocket for small items, and the front compartment includes an internal organizer system for conveniently carrying and locating small tools, personal equipment, and cell phones or radios. The pack also features a back pocket that is padded with protective foam for safely carrying tablets or laptops (up to 15″ size). On the sides are pockets for water bottles or other items that you might want to have quick and easy access too. The pack also features two hydration system pockets to choose from – one internal and one external.

Dragon Egg Enlarged - PenCott-WildWood

Making the Dragon Egg Enlarged particularly useful for tactical, SAR, and military users is the fact that the pack and the hip/waist belt include sections of laser-cut panels that are compatible with MOLLE / PALS configured pouches. The hip belt can be detached and used separately, or together with a pair of lightweight shoulder straps that are included with the pack.

The Dragon Egg Enlarged is in stock and available now on the Direct Action webstore for €139.00 in the PenCott-WildWood® camouflage pattern, as well as several solid colors.

REVISION MILITARY SNOWHAWK™ GOGGLE SYSTEM

Cold climate operations have become an essential tactical focus for militaries around the world, with many dedicating more resources to training in the Arctic and other cold weather regions. This shift has generated a growing demand for gear that can withstand harsh conditions and function in extreme environments.

To that end, Revision Military developed the SnowHawk™ Cold Weather Goggle System in collaboration with Anon Optics, a leader in goggle design for snow sports and a brand owned by Burton Snowboards, the world’s leading snowboard company. The SnowHawk™ is the first-ever fully integrated ballistic goggle and balaclava system offering complete face coverage, superior anti-fog performance, and ballistic protection.

Extensive time, attention, and resources were dedicated to ensure breathability as well as warmth and anti-fogging:

  • Mesh over the mouth and nose directs breath away from the goggle; the dual-pane thermal gasket lens creates an insulated barrier; built-in top and lateral forced-air vents provide constant airflow; and, Revision’s leading OcuMax© Plus coating is applied on the inside of the lens to prevent fogging, plus a hard-coat is on the outside of the lens to resist scratching.
  • The SnowHawk system’s balaclava design utilizes Anon’s Magnetic Facemask Integration (MFI®) technology to seamlessly integrate the goggle and balaclava, ensuring stabilization and seal, with no skin exposed. The system achieves total face and head coverage, but is also intuitively designed for ease of use and swift removal when necessary.

Revision unveiled the SnowHawk™ at SOFIC 2016 and will also be showing the system at the Defence Vehicle Dynamics (DVD) trade show in the UK in September and at AUSA in Washington, D.C. in October.  The demonstrator model is shown in our SnowDrift® camo pattern as market-tester and capability demonstration.

Tactical Tracking Operations School

Tactical Tracking Operations School has been around for over 20 years – for many years, they were the only company in the US that delivered specialised tracking courses for law enforcement and military units and personnal.  The company now offers the most complete, experienced, dedicated, professional and effective range of specialized training packages available today.

New Cover

TTOS might well qualify as the longest-running company that you’ve never heard of, and that’s becuase for many years the company deliberately kept a very low public profile.  That is all changing now as the company has just built and released a new website that provides a virtual encyclopedia of information about the company’s background, its subject matter experts, and the wide range of training packages that the company delivers at locations around the world.  Also included on the website are details about the company’s long-running anti-poaching training and support efforts.

img_2455

Finally, if you’re wondering why we’re publishing this update about TTOS on our page, its becuase we are very honored by the fact that the company has been extensively trialling our camouflage patterns on training deployments around the US and the rest of the world and has chosen to adopt PenCott® as the most effective camouflage patterns available today.

12745866_10154487593663238_6724879393803728342_n

As TTOS continues to update their website and Facebook page with more information and photos, you’ll be seeing more and more evidence of PenCott’s effectiveness.
