PredatorIntelligence Teaser
PredatorIntelligence posted this teaser image on their Facebook. What are they up to?
INFORCE WML Momentary
One of the marks of a great company is how they respond to their customers. INFORCE created the original WML (Weapon Mounted Light) with a multi-function switch that allowed the user to cycle through high, low, and strobe settings. This was popular with some users, while others desired a more simple switch. INFORCE engaged their customers, listened to what they had to say, and then incorporated their feedback in the new momentary only version of the WML.
This new version of the WML differs very little from the original WML. The only real difference is the switch function. While the original WML used a series of clicks or presses to move through high, low, strobe, this new version offers more simple momentary function. Press the switch to activate the light and release it to deactivate the light. Simple.
It still has the 125 lumen output with a balanced beam profile, 2 hours runtime, optional switchable IR version, water resistance to an impressive 66 feet, heat vents to protect the LED, incredible 3 ounce weight (including the battery), two forms of lock out to prevent accidental light discharge, and rail clamp. It also retains the angled switch that makes the WML easy to operate without the need for tape switches.
This is an impressive light that I can’t wait to get my hands on. I have one inbound for review. In the mean time, be sure to check out INFORCE-Mil.com.
GearPods Survival Kit Containers
GearPods are a interesting solution for organizing and carrying survival gear (and more). The solution revolves around a proprietary cylindrical container design that is water resistant and allows pods of 4 different sizes to be connected together in a single column. The result is an organized stack of gear that allows easy access and efficient organization. You can even use any of 7 available colors to indicate the contents of a GearPod at a glance.
The GearPods can be purchased pre-stocked with items that cover necessities like first-aid, fire starting, shelter, navigation, and more. They can also be purchased empty so that the user can build their GearPod kit with whatever gear they prefer. There are also various bags and sleeves available that allow the GearPods to be attached to backpacks or used as a stand alone system.
I haven’t seen GearPods in person but I am impressed with the unique approach. Check them out on GearPods.com.
Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero in Multicam
The Seattle Sombrero from Outdoor Research is a classic piece of rain gear and now it is available in Multicam.
It has all the great features of the original Seattle Sombrero like a lining that wicks moisture away from the head and a well shaped brim that keeps the rain off your face and neck.
