MEET THE MAKER - PROPPER<br />

my Woodland ACU is years old now, but still performing, so<br />

Propper are definitely a brand that I personally trust.<br />

To illustrate what I mean about new directions though<br />

I’m going to take a look at a few of their very latest<br />

developments, starting with the FULL ZIP TECH SWEATER. At<br />

£90.00 it combines the comfort of a stylish sweater with<br />

the functionality of a tactical jacket. Featuring a full zip-up<br />

front and stand-up collar, the Propper Tech Sweater is crafted<br />

from high strength anti-pilling fleece fabric, which makes the<br />

exterior durable but keeps interior warm and comfortable.<br />

Reinforced fabric around the elbows and shoulders offer<br />

additional resilience and durability, while elastic binding at<br />

the sleeves make sure the sweater fits you perfectly during<br />

any activity. Two dual zippered hand pockets and side zippers<br />

allow quick access to bottom layer or your beltt, while the<br />

vertical zippered chest pocket provides safe storage for<br />

documents.<br />

The Full Zip Tech Sweater from Propper offers excellent<br />

freedom of movement with superb protection against the<br />

weather and is perfect for casual wear as well as tactical use.<br />

Priced at £56.00 the PROPPER V2 HOODIE is a classic bit of<br />

design updated with some new twists; Crafted from highly<br />

stretchable and lightweight smooth-faced jersey fleece<br />

material, the Propper V2 Hoodie comes with 3/4 front zip<br />

closure, contoured hood for added weather resistance, and<br />

two zipped pockets for storing smaller tactical essentials.<br />

Warm and comfortable, the new V2 Hoodie is perfectly<br />

suited for both covert field duty and casual wear and is ideal<br />

for a variety of outdoor activities. I love a good hoodie so<br />

one of these will most<br />

definitely be on my “wish<br />

list” for the winter!<br />

The PROPPER MEN’S<br />

LIGHTWEIGHT TACTICAL<br />

PANTS come in at a walletfriendly<br />

£44.00; made of<br />

durable and breathable<br />

Polycotton Ripstop fabric,<br />

these fully functional<br />

Men’s Lightweight Tactical<br />

Pants feature relaxed<br />

fit construction with<br />

action-stretch waistband,<br />

reinforced seat and knees<br />

for added durability and<br />

durable YKK zip fly with<br />

multiple easily accessible<br />

pockets for all storage<br />

needs. They’re perfect for<br />

tactical or for everyday<br />

use, so this is a case of<br />

money well spent!<br />

With a slightly higher price-tag of £62.00 the PROPPER<br />

MEN’S STRETCH TACTICAL PANTS are made of highly stretchable<br />

Nylon and Spandex fabric mix, these fully functional Men’s<br />

Stretch Tactical Pants and feature relaxed fit construction<br />

with an action-stretch waistband, reinforced seat and knees<br />

for added durability and durable YKK zip fly with multiple<br />

easily accessible pockets for all storage needs. These are a<br />

bit more dynamic than the standard tactical pants, and it’s<br />

certainly easy to see where your money is going here too.<br />

Now I’m really just touching the tip of the iceberg with<br />

these four garments. Speaking to the team at Military<br />

1st they are aiming to offer their customers a massive<br />

selection of Propper’s high-quality products, including a<br />

comprehensive range of tactical pants, combat shirts and<br />

field uniforms, waterproof jackets, hoodies, vests and soft<br />

shells, as well as low-profile backpacks, duffles, gun cases,<br />

utility pouches and accessories such as belts, hats, socks and<br />

patches. It’s most definitely a case of “watch this space”!<br />

Propper products are constantly being added at www.<br />

military1st.co.uk who kindly provided the test<br />

samples for this article, so take my advice and<br />

go and check out what Propper can offer you<br />

at your earliest convenience!<br />
