KITANICA “Mountain Shorts” in PenCott-Sandstorm

/0 Comments/in , /by

KITANICA was originally founded in 1995 in Brooklyn, NY by master designer, sewer and pattern maker Beej Cronin.  The company is now located near San Francisco, CA and Beej, his brother Chris and their cousin Len produce a growing range of exceptionally durable, distinctive, utilitarian, and comfortable clothing for tactical and outdoor use.  And if you’re a fan of Mythbusters and/or Tac TV you might well have seen Adam Savage and/or Larry Vickers wearing one of KITANICA’s creations on-screen.

KITANICA are also kind of noteworthy for keeping their color options basic – just black, olive drab and khaki – apart from a limited trial with MultiCam, KITANICA don’t really “do” camouflage.  So we felt pretty special when they told us that they are fans of PenCott, and that they’d decided to do a prototype of their new Mountain Shorts in our PenCott-Sandstorm pattern.

The Sandstorm Mountain Shorts are made from our milspec 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric that’s printed for us by Duro Industries (as are all of our other fabrics), and they include a multitude of practical features.  KITANICA even very kindly sent this pair to our Marketing Director, Lawrence, for evaluation and feedback – so we can attest that this design is a real winner.  As you can see from the overview below, these shorts have a multitude of ergonomically-placed, no-snag, pockets that allow you to carry loads of different items comfortably and conveniently.

Please contact KITANICA directly for further information about the planned availability of their Mountain Shorts, and/or any of their other products in PenCott camouflage.

Whiskey Two-Four and QP Gear – paintball, airsoft and real-steel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Arizona-based Whiskey Two-Four Paintball and its sister brand QP Gear have been busy building up an impressive portfolio of clothing and equipment featuring PenCott camouflage.  Many of their products are really unique and innovative and between the two brands they cover the full spectrum of paintball, airsoft and real-steel pursuits.

You can see their paintball and airsoft orientation loud and clear in their Stashable Lightweight Utility Tunic (or “SLUT” for short), which is designed to be thrown on over your regular clothes to provide a quick, comfortable camouflage coverall in a handier configuration than a typical set of overalls.

Pictured on the GreenZone SLUT above is WTF’s SPECTRE battle belt in GreenZone.  The Spectre is fully adjustable and features an articulated 3-part build to provide a more comfortable and stable fit for carrying your sub-load and/or secondary armament.  The Spectre is made from 1000D Cordura nylon with matching PALS webbing made from 500D Cordura nylon, and also features WTF’s exclusive 3D airmesh backing for ventilation and padding.

Also on the gear front, WTF offer several different types of modular combat vests.

SKIRMISHER vest.

PULLER chest rig.

WTF Plate Carrier.

 

In their clothing line, WTF offer two types of combat shirt; one in a pullover style, and one with a hood and 1/4 length zipper – which can also be made with foliage loops for users who want an added level of concealment – and most recently WTF has also added trousers in a basic pull-on style.

Hooded Combat Shirt and WTF Minimalist Pants in Badlands. This dude is so hard-core that he paintballs barefoot!

 

QP Gear:  Whiskey-Two Four have taken some of the suitable products from their paintball/ airsoft portfolio, put them on steroids, toughened up their construction where needed and forged a line of custom gear for the “quiet professional”.

Every piece of QP Gear kit comes with a lifetime warranty – which means that should your QP Gear ever fail for any reason, the company will repair or replace it free of charge (all you have to do is send it back to them)!

In addition to MOLLE platforms, vests and rigs, QP Gear also provides all of the pouches to go with them.  Such as the 556 Flat Front Shingle in Badlands pictured below.

For more information, and a lot more products, visit the WTF website and Facebook page.  And check out the QP Gear website and Facebook page for real-steel level products.

/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.
