/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Molay has sent us the details of their new PenCott portfolio which now includes 2 different types of uniforms / tactical clothing, a combat shirt, a plate carrier and a boonie hat. 

“Rapid Task Trousers”: Designed to be paired with the Echo Tac 1 Jacket, this is Molay’s ultra-modern multi-purpose tactical trouser design.  The trousers feature articulated knees for comfort and dynamic movement, as well as some clever and unique pocket designs and configurations for effective load carriage.  Price for a pair in PenCott is $170 US, available to order now.  Full details can be found on Molay’s Facebook page here.

 

“Peacekeeper Uniform”: Designed at the request of an Indonesian law enforcement special operations unit, the Peacekeeper is Molay’s innovative take on a modern ACU / MCCUU type uniform suitable for garrison duty as well as field and tactical deployments.  Price for a set is approximately $170 US (depending on current exchange rates), available to order now.  Full details can be found on Molay’s Facebook page here.

 

“RapidTask Top”: The Rapid Task Top is Molay’s re-interpretation of the USMC’s FROG shirt.  Molay’s shirt features nIR-reflectance resistant PenCott NyCo ripstop fabric on the sleeves, collar and zipper placket and Cordura® Baselayer fabric on the torso.  Price is $105 US, available to pre-order now.  Full details can be found on Molay’s Facebook pre-order page.

 

“Alpha Plate Carrier”: Molay’s first foray into “hardwear” is the Alpha Plate Carrier.  Robustly constructed to hold up under heavy use, the Alpha features 1000D Cordura nylon with a durable water resistant finish and urethane backing, as well as US milspec buckles, webbing, mesh, Velcro, shock cord and snaps.  The production version will feature breathable padded mesh on the interior – picture is of a prototype. Price will be approximately $170 US (depending on current exchange rates), available to pre-order now.  Full details can be found on Molay’s Facebook pre-order page.

 

“Tango Brim Hat”: Molay’s boonie hat is of the short-brimmed “operator” style that’s popular these days.  The 55mm short brim is also angled in order to provide more protection from sun, rain and creepy-crawlies and the brim is also chain-stitched for additional stiffness.  Molay also replaced the traditional (and clumsy / uncomfortable) chin strap with a shock-cord and cord-lock system to fasten the hat securely around the wearer’s head.  The price is $30 and its available to order now.  Full details can be found on Molay’s Facebook page, here.

For the past several months, JK Defence has been offering PenCott-GreenZone and PenCott-Badlands clothing and gear to German and Austrian military and law enforcement special ops units, but not to the commercial market.  However, due to the increasing popularity of and demand for the PenCott patterns, JK Defence has now decided to also offer PenCott clothing and gear on the commercial market as well.

Out of all the new commercial patterns on the market, JK Defence elected to offer Hyde Definition’s PenCott “mission critical camouflage” to their special operations customers becuase of its superior, proven, real-world concealment performance.  PenCott is also the only non-German camouflage pattern in the SABRE portfolio.

PenCott-Badlands “Slangvel” – reproduction South African Airborne Forces Smock

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Paratrooper, and Service-Disabled Vietnam Vet, Slangvel took his nickname / eBay trader name from the nickname given by South African paras to their distinctive local version of the traditional British Airborne Forces smock.  “Slangvel” is Afrikaans for snake skin and was given to the smock due of its use of leather (later changed to canvas) as reinforcing material on the smocks pockets, shoulders and elbows.

An authentic original “Slangvel” smock will set you back a fair chunk of change – if you can find one for sale – but luckily (Mr.) Slangvel has started making modern reproductions of these iconic garments.  The new ones are also being offered in a limited choice of solid colors and modern camouflage patterns, use 500D Cordura nylon for the reinforced areas, and will be available for sale soon on Slangvel’s eBay page.

One of the real highlights of the repro “Slangvel” smocks is that they will be available in the PenCott family of camouflage patterns.  In fact, Mr. Slangvel was inspired right from the beginning of the project to use the PenCott-Badlands pattern as it would be such a great camouflage pattern for the type of arid terrain found in southern Africa.

 

And so without further adieu we present the first picture to be made available of a repro “Slangvel” smock from (Mr.) Slangvel….

And here is a close-up shot of the pocket detail, showing the use of “Badlands” pattern 500D Cordura as reinforcing material.

(Mr.) Slangvel also told us that he’s going to be making reproductions of the distinctive South African Airborne Forces helmet cover, and possibly the “Slangvel” trousers that matched the smocks as well.

Slangvel is also famous for his Recce-style boonie hats, M43-style field caps and repro African para caps – all of which are available in all three PenCott patterns as well.

  

Keep an eye on his eBay page for products and availability.

PenCott-GreenZone in NZ rain forest

/0 Comments/in /by

We got a set of great photos recently that showcase the effectiveness of the PenCott-GreenZone pattern being used in New Zealand rain forest terrain.

“Pattern-in-picture” and other types of computer simulations are all well and good, but nothing beats real photos of a camouflage pattern printed onto fabric, sewn up into uniforms and gear, and actually being used in the field.

Its interesting to note that this user deliberately left his face, hands, arms and rifle uncamouflaged in order to show by contrast how well the PenCott camouflage works.

 

 

More info (and photos) of the PenCott patterns can be found on the Hyde Definition website and on the PenCott Facebook page.  The PenCott-Badlands and PenCott-Sandstorm patterns were also reviewed on Military Morons a while back.
