We are very pleased to announce that our PenCott-Snowdrift camouflage pattern is now available to order on the first of three planned fabric types.

The current fabric is a lightweight, packable, quick-drying and water-resistant 100% polyester shell fabric. We are using the same fabric, finish and nIR spec as used by the US Marine Corps snow camouflage over-suit.

Extreme Gear Labs – always creating

A few days ago EGL posted an intriguing photo on their Facebook page showing the beginnings of an unidentified project using 500D Cordura “Badlands” fabric…

A day or so later they posted a second photo, this time showing the work-in-progress status of the project – but still no hints as to what it would eventually be…

Finally, they posted a photo of the finished product…

And the mystery was cleared up by an article on Soldier Systems Daily explaining that it is an Engineering Proof-of-Concept for a stock-mounted Blow Out Kit with CAT Tourniquet pocket, designed to attach to an AK-type skeleton stock.

Renowned for being sturdy, well-engineered, and BPA-free, Nalgene water bottles are a very popular way to carry your favourite refreshing beverage – or even just pure clean water – on the trail or out in the back of beyond. Even if your adventures only take you a couple of hundred yards from the car park at your favourite paintball or airsoft site, a Nalgene is still a great way to stay hydrated – but you need something equally good to carry your Nalgene in…

Presenting the solution to your needs from Whiskey Two-Four:

Their brand new MOLLE Nalgene Pouch in PenCott-Badlands enables you to strap a Nalgene on anywhere you’ve got some spare PALS webbing real-estate. The pouch features a zip top, MALICE clips included, internal stiffeners so it holds its shape, and optional PALS webbing for attaching small pouches for water purification tablets, a compass or GPS, etc.

Available to order on Whiskey Two-Four’s website.
