Pick of the Day: Maxpedition Monsoon Gearslinger

The Maxpedition Monsoon Gearslinger is a really clever, lightweight, sling bag, with about 1600 cu. in. capacity, and padded back and shoulder strap. It's also hydration compatible.

This is a great option for an EDC bag, a small bugout bag, or day hiking bag. The sling style makes it easy to quickly get to your stuff.

Pick of the Day: Tru-Spec 24-7 Softshell Jacket

Fall is nearly upon us, and this new Softshell Jacket from Tru-Spec is the perfect "transition" jacket for those chilly mornings.

Packed with features, and very hi-tech looking, too.

Just Added: Tacatec Apparel

The Tacatec Tactical Tiger pattern was developed for global special forces and law enforcement to blend in with urban environments, and it's the latest and most effective tactical clothing we've seen.

Not only is the tiger pattern effective, but the shirt is comfortable and loaded with high-speed features, such as large hidden zippered pockets, pen stalls, and a mesh back vent. The sleeves have tabs that you can use to hold rolled up sleeves in place, adding to its versatile design, without compromising features or quality. See more details here.

The pants are also really comfortable and well-made. All the high stress points are bar-tacked (reinforced). The waistband is adjustable and has wide belt loops. Another thing that makes these pants stand out is the drag handle on the rear. See more details here.

We have these items in stock now. For more info and to order, please contact sales@darkthreads.com. Remember, we offer discounts on group orders for teams and departments!

Pick of the Day: Woolrich Operator Cap and Boonie

Added lots of stuff to the Web store in the last few days, and have been trying to decide on a "pick of the week," but there are so many options. So, I'll post about several of the items that caught my eye this week, starting with:

Woolrich Elite Operator Cap and Boonie. I have dozens of different covers, many different brands and styles, but I end up wearing only a few "favorite" ones all the time. The Woolrich covers are on my short list. Both the cap and boonie are well-made and comfortable, and look like they'll only get better with age. Available now in our newly redesigned Web store!
