Over the past few months we’ve been fortunate to have been able to contribute to the creation of some great marketing imagery produced by the crew at TacGas and Deliberate Dynamics International.
UR-TACTICAL continues to bring out interesting and unique new products in a variety of camouflage patterns and solid colors. The latest is their ‘Stealth Warrior Pants’ that are available in GreenZone® and BadLands®.
UR-TACTICAL describe the Stealth Warrior pants as being cut and configured for urban operation, and designed with maximum mobility and comfort in mind. With its internal soft foam knee pads and built-in stretch panels, the Stealth Warrior Pants would also no doubt be very useful for field or vehicular operations as well.

UF PRO’s goal with the new Striker Stealth Smock was to design a combat jacket that not only allows you to stow a lot of gear, but that is also extremely comfortable to wear when it is fully loaded. The result is not only a new smock, its a completely new load carriage system. With its modular pocket configuration, the Striker Stealth Smock can hold up to 15kg of gear, and its integrated load bearing system distributes and carries the weight more comfortably and stable when the smock is loaded up.
The pocket configuration is another key element of the Stealth Smock. With an integrated PALS system it allows the set up of at least 4 pouches*, and with the built-in 7 pockets it provides sufficient space for storing all your essential gear for a short term mission.
*The UF PRO® Stealth pouches are not included and can be ordered separately.
Helikon-Tex announced a few days ago that all of their current nylon gear (as shown in the 2016 catalogue) will also be available this autumn in PenCott® camouflage patterns!
Also revealed at the MSPO Trade Show this week in Kielce, Poland was the final prototype of their new ‘GUARDIAN’ Chest Rig.
The GUARDIAN appears to follow a fairly classic layout and is designed to be as lightweight as possible, so all pouches are sewn directly onto the rig’s chassis. The magazine pouches will accept AR, SR and AK magazines and are constructed with built-in ‘lifters’ for use with shorter magazines (such as 10- or 20-rounders). More details will be released soon, and the final confirmation of colors, camos, price and availability will be announced at IWA in March 2017.
The first prototype of the (then unnamed) chest rig was in fact seen at this year’s IWA in Nuremburg.
The Ranger II Tarp from BE-X Combat Gear provides space for 2 people, is constructed from IRR neutral US milspec 70D nylon fabrics, and is completely Made-in-Germany.
0241 Tactical has been steadily becoming a one-stop-shop for PenCott® camouflage clothing and accessories in the US market. Now they’ve teamed up with SixKa / 707 Tactical Gear to bring reasonably-priced PenCott® camouflage field / combat clothing to the US market.
The SixKa EON6 Combat Shirt has a large collar that can be worn up or down. Quarter-length zipper front closure for comfort while wearing body armor or load bearing equipment. Moisture-wicking chest, back, and under-arm material provides breathability while wearing body armor or gear. Velcro-faced shoulder pockets with Velcro closure. Seamless underarm construction with flat-lock seams for comfort. Jersey Knit 85% nylon 15% spandex with flat seem construction. Sleeves are made from U.S. made 7.5 oz. (220 grams.) rip-stop 50/50 Nyco fade resistant fabric.
SixKa BDU Pants are made from US milspec 50/50 Nylon-Cotton rip-stop fabric that performs well in all environments. The pants are loaded with special features, including cargo pockets with Velcro closures, reinforced front and rear pockets, elasticized waistband and a roomy crotch with a stretch fabric gusset provides a perfect fit and comfort/maneuverability.
The SixKa Advanced Tactical Shirt uses hook-and-loop-backed attachments to secure items such as rank insignia and shoulder patches and tabs. The Mandarin collar can be worn up in to fit with load bearing equipment, or worn in the down position for better ventilation. The front closure is zippered and reinforced with Velcro. The slanted chest pockets, cuff adjustments, and elbow pad insert pockets also utilize Velcro closure. There is a three slot pen pocket on the left arm of the jacket.
Combat Pants and Boonie Hats are coming soon too – stay tuned…..
After two years of gathering extensive feedback from field usage all over the world, plus lots of additional hours invested in perfecting even the smallest details – UF PRO® now introduces the new Gen.2 version of their Striker XT BDU system.
Since its introduction in 2014, the first generation of the Striker XT BDU’s became one of the most popular UF PRO® products and they promise that the new generation will push the standards even further.
The new Striker XT Combat Shirt offers the already proven air/pac® inserts in the shoulder area for weight distribution, a materials mix of polyester, cotton and merino and an anatomic and flexible elbow protection system. The Gen. 2 Shirt also has a longer front zipper, and the polyester/ merino armpit area is additionally reinforced with a nylon mesh for protection against abrasion.
Webbing on top of the lower sleeve pocket provides the flexibility for attaching the UF PRO® Device Pouch, or any other MOLLE compatible pouch.
The Striker XT Combat Pants are known for their hybrid structure, which allows the user unhindered movement with a smart pocket configuration and comfortable knee protection. The Gen.2 Pants have now even more stretch built in and offer a bigger and more easily accessible pocket configuration. The camouflage versions now also have integrated camouflage Schoeller®-dynamic stretch panels.
The 3-layer knee protection can be equipped with either a shock absorbing Flex Pad or with the new UF PRO® Flex- Soft Pad, which offers extra cushioning while kneeling down. Both pads can be reinforced with a penetration resistant UF PRO® Solid Pad.
The Gen.2 STRIKER XT BDU system is available in PenCott-GreenZone® and other camouflage patterns and solid colors. For further details, visit UF PRO’s website, here.
Something new, and quite a bit different from the usual…
Is it fashion, is it tactical? Is it something in between – like, um, ‘fashtical‘? However you want to describe it, ZombieHunter.eu is a new brand out of Slovakia that is leveraging their team’s combined experience in selling tactical and sportwear clothes to produce tactical fashion for women.
This young company has high ambitions and fresh ideas and the ‘Infection’ pants are their first product. The ‘Infection’ pants feature many practical, tactical design features – but in a more female-friendly and fashionable cut. The pants are made with high-quality branded components such as YKK®, Velcro®, and Cordura®, and use genuine, military-grade PenCott® camouflage 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric as well.
Although fabrics in the PenCott® family of advanced camouflage patterns have been printed in the USA since July 2011, finished products in the patterns have been harder to obtain in the Americas than they have in Europe – especially garments.
707 Tactical Gear out of Miami, Florida is now making a wide range of tactical clothing and boots in PenCott® camouflage patterns under their SixKa® brand. All SixKa® brand / 707 Tactical Gear products are designed specifically to their clients requests and cut-and-sewn from U.S.-made milspec materials in the company’s wholly-owned factories in Mexico.
We were recently honored to be included in a photo shoot in the Florida Everglades with a great selection of awesome tactical brands.
Helikon-Tex kindly supplied the uniforms and boonie hats, and Tactical Tailor provided all the load carrying equipment.
Helikon-Tex are also now offering special discounted pricing of 132 EUR per set on all PenCott camouflage Combat Patrol Uniforms (as seen in the photos below). Visit their website, or contact your favorite Helikon-Tex dealer for further details.
