GEAR ON TEST
NEW GEAR FROM PENTAGON
We’ve been trying some new gear in from tactical
and outdoor specialist Pentagon, and at the time of
writing this week has started wet and windy again,
but we’re already thinking about those long, hot days
of summer, and as last year was frankly a bit of a bust
for obvious reasons, this summer is looking good for
some full-throttle rangetime!
Whilst the weather has stayed inclement though we’ve been
having some great results with the new PANTHIRAS jacket! Ideal
for this time of year, lightweight and practical, the PANTHIRAS
Jacket is made of breathable fabrics with light insulation for
added warmth. The jacket comes with an adjustable hood with
an elastic volume adjuster cord on the back, a high collar with
a chin guard and a full front YKK zipper with a glove-friendly
pull. There are two zipped hand pockets and one internal zipped
pocket for documents, keys, or other personal belongings. The
elasticated cuffs, bottom hem and hood, provide excellent
protection from the wind or rain, so the PANTHIRAS Jacket is
ideal for everyday wear too!
FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Adjustable hood with an elastic cord on the back
• High collar with chin guard
• Full front YKK zipper with a glove-friendly pull
• Two zipped hand pockets
• One internal zipped pocket for documents
• Gusseted underarm design for ease of movement
• Elasticated cuffs, bottom hem and hood
• Hanging loop
• Material: 88% Nylon 12% Elastane
• Insulation material: 60Gsm, 3M Insulation padding
Hopefully though the days of having to bulk-up with multiple
layers will soon be behind us, and a simple tactical shirt’/pants
combo is going to be the thing that we all need, and the latest
LYCOS garments look great!
Durable and practical, the Lycos Jacket from Pentagon is made
of high-density Ripstop fabric and comes with water-repellent
coating. The jacket feature a re-designed collar, full two-way
front zipper with a glove-friendly pull, and a storm flap secured
with hook-and-loop tabs. There are two large zipped upper arm
pockets with pen slots and two large chest pockets with a flap
closing censured with hook-and-loop tabs. The jacket also comes
with easy to roll up ergonomic sleeves with reinforced elbows
and hook-and-loop adjustable sleeve cuffs.
The matching Lycos Combat Pants have been specially
designed to be strong enough for highly demanding outdoor
users yet stylish enough for casual everyday use. Made of the
same high-density Ripstop fabric they provide tactical practicality
combined with a professional look. These trousers feature two
deep hand pockets with reinforced edging, two rear pockets with
flaps and two utility or mag pockets on the front. Four spacious
cargo pockets placed on the front and sides allow for storing
tools or personal accessories. The trousers come with externally
accessible reinforced knee pockets for pads secured with strong
hook-and-loop tabs.
The LYCOS suit is well-priced for those on a budget, and are
available in block colours mix with more casual clothing, so if
you’re looking for a “go to BDU” then these are most certainly
worth a look, and ours came from www.military1st.co.uk
