Our friends from SCDTV have published a gallery of photos where you can see a bunch of nice gear from Applied Orange, Wisport, Stronghold Group, Survivaltech.pl, SAGear, and Splinter Custom Ghillie – all put through its paces in the woods by Dudek and Irek of SCDTV.
What the gallery also does really well to provide a good direct comparison between PenCott-GreenZone and MultiCam Tropic. This is the first time we’ve seen anybody do such a direct side-by-side comparison.
One of our Austrian fans tipped us off today about these two promo videos from Austrian arms manufacturer STEYR MANNLICHER.
In each video, the marksman is attired in SABRE-brand smocks, trousers and boonie hats. We’re proud to be associated with such a renowned global brand as STEYR. Danke schoen!

Based on the previous Striker Combat Shirt, the XT model features a new cut and improvements to comfort and functionality.
The torso is composed of 100% polyester with abrasion-resistant knitware, and the armpit area is composed of a mix of polyester and merino wool for durability, comfort, and odor-inhibition.
UF PRO air/pac inserts in the shoulder area distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.
The cut of the sleeve and the slide-in elbow pockets have been ergonomically improved so that the wearer will always land on the inserted D3O elbow protection. Large upper arm pockets with Velcro, and forearm pockets with additional phone clasp allow for storage of important items.
The Striker XT pant is made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric (the SloCam variant is made from a 67/33 PolyCotton blend) and features a proximal anatomic cut with inserted stretch areas made from a resilient Schoeller-dynamic stretch material for limitless comfortable movement.
The XT pant has a functional pocket configuration:
The pants also feature a front zipper with two zip sliders, and a high belt area with double belt loops.
The Striker XT Combat Jacket is a multipurpose outer layer field jacket, made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric.
The shoulders feature UF PRO air/pac inserts to distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.
The arms feature pockets on the upper arms with large Velcro area, elbow pockets for D3O Trio Mid protectors, and cuff adjusters.
Four front pockets with inner compartments and a back pocket offer ample storage.
Additional features include a stow away hood, waist draw cord, lower hem adjustment, and side vents.
The STRIKER XT line is available in PenCott-GreenZone™. PenCott-BadLands™ will also be available in the near future.

Many of us might still be dealing with snow and/or sub-freezing temperatures – but Applied Orange is already starting to think ahead to the summer months….
So, they’re getting ready to do a production run of their high-quality UBAX Field Combat Shirts in PenCott-GreenZone™ and BadLands™ in time for these to be on people’s backs this summer.
The PenCott Gen3 UBAX FCS, “Advanced Line”, stock will be landing in the AO-store in early April, along with the other AO Advanced Line products (more about that to come soon!). The Advanced Line UBAX FCS is the little brother of AO’s Elite Line combat shirt – it’s a non-FR, basic cut, economically-priced shirt, but retains all the major cool features of it’s big brother. Moreover, the “Advanced Line” UBAX FCS is made in the European Union, and is also compatible with d3o Labs’ P5 Impact Resistant elbow pads.
AO is offering the shirt in PenCott-GreenZone™ and BadLands™, and customers can get 10% off their preorder by entering the code: advancedpreorder

“Become one with your environment” reads the strapline for SABRE’s ‘Ghostwalker gear’ line-up in PenCott-SnowDrift™.
The complex design of the PenCott™ family does indeed look more organic and natural than other patterns. The combination of multi-sized fractal shapes, dithered boundary layers and 360° pattern geometry disrupts the shape of the wearer and blends into the terrain with amazing effectiveness. So we can totally understand why Sabre chose this strapline and product family name.
Developed with input from the Sniper cadre at the International Special Training Center (formerly known as the International LRRP School) in Pfullendorf, Germany, Sabre’s Special Forces Smock, Gen.III and Sniper Trousers, Gen.II are renowned within the ranks of German and NATO special Operations Forces – and their PenCott GreenZone and BadLands products have been in use with a number of special operations units – both at home and overseas.
The Sabre Ghostwalker Gear line is made from US-produced, milspec, durable-water-resistant-finished, 50/50 NyCo ripstop and water-proof 500D Cordura Nylon fabrics. And these professional-level garments feature a comprehensive set of features and pockets to deliver the performance – and carry the gear – to accomplish even the most demanding missions.
