Armadillo LCS
9/27/2011 by Administrator
After a couple months of changes we have now got the LCS to
where we are happy with the weight and look. It also has a new name
based on what it resembles. The "Armadillo LCS" is a one-man sub
three pound tent with stakes! It still features the BedNet as the
inner base and then use a shock corded pole to give you a double
wall tent. Which in the south is a must because of all the
humidity. We got rid of the vestibules to save weight and since the
military uses waterproof pack covers now it wasn't neccessary. It
uses the same 70 Denier Ripstop Nylon as the EBNS so you know
it is durable. A cool feature is that you can actually take the
riddgeline pole out and then fold the tent (with the fly still
attached) up like you normally do a BedNet. Even with the fly on
you can still pack it down to 13" x 13" x 3" as seen
below. Another feature is Ventilation straps. As you can see below
if you need extra air movement in the tent you can use the
Ventilation straps to let extra air in. When not needed they store
underneath to keep the elements out. If 3 pounds is somehow to
heavy and you need even less weight you can leave the pole at home
and use some 550 cord or equivalent. Just string the cord between
two trees and then attach the clips on the rope to create the
backbone. The tent goes down to 2.55 lbs if you do that!

Tampa was great! Many thanks to all of your who stopped by the
booth to check out the gear and chat it up with us. We think you
Special Operations guys really appreciated the new gear like the
Granite Gear drag bag and enjoyed the new modifications on our
existing products like the Granite Gear patrol packs. We are truly
proud to partner with Granite Gear on the tactical line of
products. Big thanks goes out to Steve and Eric from Extreme
Outfitters. Couldn't have done it without you guys! I
will post some pics once I get them. In the mean time please check
out or partners in crime at: http://granitegear.com/ &

DepSoc360
5/04/2010 by Administrator
From time to time we will release info on some new products that
we are working on. Sometimes we won't be able to say much because
it is sensitive in nature but we will try to give as much info as
we can. We are currently working with a partner called HDI from Las
Vegas on a new type of camouflage called DepSoc360. It mimics
nature's natural lines and colors to blend whatever the pattern is
thrown on. We are making different things such as uniforms and also
shrouds for equipment. As you can see from the video link, once the
focus is off the camo and zooms away the guy seems to disappear.
The best thing about the pattern is that it can be used in all
kinds of terrain since we have the ability to take a snapshot of
the environment and tailor the pattern to the actual mission. From
desert to woodland we have got you covered. We have been working
with the U.S. military to get feedback from the field to improve
the design. We actually have one of our people visiting a base this
week to continue work on the pattern. We think the camo will be
best used by the Special Forces, Snipers, and anyone on recon. Of
course we plan on licensing the design to different apparel
companies so if you like the design start looking and asking for
DepSoc360 at your favorite gear store. We will begin working on a
new website that gives tons of new info and other fun stuff. Keep
coming back to site for discounts, games, and even a free product
or two. Sign up for the newsletter for the easiest way to keep on
top of all the promotions. In the meantime check out the videos
that HDI has come up with. Take in mind that in some of the shots
the camo is designed for another terrain but as you can plainly see
it still works like a charm. http://www.youtube.com/user/force4digital
