U.S.M.S.C. @MegaCon 2011!

TerrorWerks is ON! The U.S.M.S.C is in da' house @MegaCon, Orange County Convention Center, Hall D. If you are in the area, please stop by and check it out.

If you've ever played Call of Duty, Doom, Duke Nukem, or any first-person shooter video games, and wondered what it would be like to experience the pulse-pounding adrenaline rush of combat (without actually risking life and limb), then swing by the TerrorWerks booth - West concourse, Room W221a and b:

1-7pm today (Friday, March 25)
10-6 pm Saturday, March 26
10-5 pm Sunday, March 27

Sign up for a quick tour of duty (about 45 minutes) with the USMSC (United States Marines Space Corps)! We provide the gear - tactical vest and airsoft rifle - so you can test your abilities in simulated combat. If you survive, you can call yourself a USMSC grunt! Our recruiters are walking around MegaCon, looking for a few good candidates. Just look for the handsome guys in dark digital camo with a tactical vest on, and they can show you the way.

Pick of the Day: TRU Combat Shirt

It was a great day to play airsoft at Waynes World in Ocala, FL yesterday, and it was also a great day to wear the TRU Combat Shirt. The body of the shirt is made of a soft, moisture-wicking fabric that will keep you cool and dry in hot weather, and it layers very easily under a vest or plate carrier.

We will actually be wearing the Digital Urban/Black combat shirt as part of our U.S.M.S.C. loadout at MegaCon this weekend.

If you don't already have one of these, you need one! And we've got every color combination listed in the store at MAP. We also give discounts for group orders. Please don't hesitate to contact sales@darkthreads.com for more info. Thanks.

Cool Video of the Day: a Heavy Drop

A heavy drop, as seen from the *inside* of the airplane. Very cool.

Pick of the Day: Woolrich Elite Fleece Vest

Here in the 'Burgh, March is one of those unpredictable weather months where you could have anything from snow, to rain, to warm, humid temperatures. That got me thinking about the new Woolrich Elite Fleece Vest - a great piece for layering.

On the blustery days, it can be worn under the Woolrich Elite Waterproof Breathable Parka, or it makes a great topper for any of the Woolrich Elite shirts. It's also got these useful features:

• Two large cargo pockets with zipper closures.
• Accessory loops inside pockets that can secure magazines or a small handgun.
• A two-way side seam zipper provides ventilation and access to the waist area.
• Chest pocket with hook & loop flap closure and expansion pleat.

Please check it out in our web store! Thanks.

Just Added: Pantac USA MOLLE Pouches

Just added a whole bunch of MOLLE pouches from Pantac USA to the web store. They come in several solid colors, and MultiCam. This first batch represents the pouches that we probably use the most. Will be adding more, so if there's anything you are looking for that you don't see here, please give us a holler! sales@darkthreads.com
