August 20, 2024/0 Comments/in Clothing Manufacturers, Gear Manufacturers, News /by Lawrence

Part of the new ‘Elite’ Range from legendary British tactical brand Arktis, the VULCAN is a packable & lightweight insulating mid-layer featuring PrimaLoft® Gold insulation. Paired with a windproof & water-resistant Nylon MiniRip to provide exceptional thermal efficiency & breathability without the bulk, even when wet.

Between its inner and outer wind-proof layers, the jacket boasts 100gsm of Primaloft® Gold across the body and 60gsm across the arms, meaning excellent thermal properties without the unwanted bulk. The design and fit keep the operator in mind. The two large front pockets have dual opening zips, providing flexibility and internal slots provide convenient storage for mobile or comms units.

The two front pockets also feature concealed adjustment points that allow for easy use without the risk of them interfering with weapon draw. The spacious hood can be fully adjusted across three points to give maximum control over fit. All this is contained in a form factor so lightweight that it can be packed into its own pocket.

The BEARCAT® Ultralight Plate Carrier, a new, well-fitting, ultra-lightweight, and mission-tailorable Plate Carrier from Direct Action. The Bearcat is designed to be fully tailorable and versatile, but with a main platform that weighs only 290 grams.

Although the Bearcat is designed mainly with Swimmer Cut plates in mind, it will also fit SAPI or Shooter plates. Due to the use of highly stretchable softshell fabric, the plate carrier offers great fitting, no matter what kind of plate cut you choose. The inner velour Velcro® panels are also specifically designed to work well with the COMFORT PAD system of the Spitfire® Plate Carrier.

Other Spitfire accessories, like the CUTAWAY set, flaps and back panels also work well with the Bearcat. That makes this carrier a great choice for those who already have the elements of Spitfire® System, but seek for a lighter platform. For extra versatility, the Bearcat is being launched with a set of its own specifically designed accessories – all designed to compliment the ultra-lightweight of the Bearcat platform. The Bearcat accessory set includes; SKELETONIZED BACK PANEL® and SKELETONIZED PLATE CARRIER FLAP®, as well as the minimalist SKELETONIZED CUMMERBUND SLIM®, and the SKELETONIZED COMMS WINGS SET®.

The BEARCAT Ultralight Plate Carrier and all accessories are available now in PenCott-WildWood camouflage. For full details, visit www.directactiongear.com

The original Dragon Egg® backpack from Direct Action has consistently been one of the company’s best-selling products and has found a home among a wide variety of users – from commuters and hikers, to first responders, law enforcement tactical teams, and military special operations forces.

This new 30-litre capacity version should prove very capable for everyday use as well as being a good 3-day sized patrol pack. Like its predecessor, the Dragon Egg Enlarged® is made from a combination of Cordura® 500D nylon and laser cut laminate.

The main internal compartment features a zippered mesh pocket for small items, and the front compartment includes an internal organizer system for conveniently carrying and locating small tools, personal equipment, and cell phones or radios. The pack also features a back pocket that is padded with protective foam for safely carrying tablets or laptops (up to 15″ size). On the sides are pockets for water bottles or other items that you might want to have quick and easy access too. The pack also features two hydration system pockets to choose from – one internal and one external.

Making the Dragon Egg Enlarged particularly useful for tactical, SAR, and military users is the fact that the pack and the hip/waist belt include sections of laser-cut panels that are compatible with MOLLE / PALS configured pouches. The hip belt can be detached and used separately, or together with a pair of lightweight shoulder straps that are included with the pack.

The Dragon Egg Enlarged is in stock and available now on the Direct Action webstore for €139.00 in the PenCott-WildWood® camouflage pattern, as well as several solid colors.
