SABRE® releases PenCott-SnowDrift™ “Ghostwalker” gear

December 5, 2013/0 Comments/in Clothing Manufacturers, SABRE /by Lawrence

“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.

O’Neill Ops mix it up a bit with BadLands™ and SnowDrift™

It is very much the fashion these days to wear camouflage that’s all “matchy-matchy” – in other words, for everything from your boots to your hat and your gloves to your belt and everything in between to be in the same, perfectly matched camouflage pattern.

However, sometimes its good to mix things up a bit – especially in “transitional” terrain or seasons. In these photos we see the guys from O’Neill Ops using this principle to great effect on the plains of South Dakota recently with a combination of PenCott-BadLands™ and PenCott-SnowDrift™.

Incidentally, the camo oversuit they’re using here was developed by Hyde Definition, and is currently being produced under license by Applied Orange Performance Equipment.

Other SnowDrift options in lightweight, water-resistant polyester and water-resistant-treated, 50/50 nylon-cotton ripstop are available from Drop Zone Tactical, Sabre, – and coming soon from Leo Koehler, Helikon-Tex and UF PRO.
