Shellback Tactical and Katylist.com are now carrying the Viper Advanced Battle Helmet or ABH. The ABH offers Level IIIA protection and a host of useful features at an excellent price. This helmet comes standard with many of the items that you would otherwise have to add yourself like OPS-CORE ARC Rails, Wilcox L4 3 Hole Shroud, and a Team Wendy suspension.
Check out the ABH at Katylist and Shellback Tactical.

Flashlight shopping used to be an absolute free-for-all. Some manufacturers advertised the somewhat deceptive bulb lumens when describing output while others advertised the more honest “out the front” lumens based on a solid guess on the light losses to the reflector and lens or optic. The best manufacturers measured actual output in integrating spheres and then undersold the true output. You had some companies pushing candlepower while others pushed lumens. Some advertised total runtime until the batteries were drained while others measured runtime to 50% output (or some other percentage). It was madness.
The FL1 standards for flashlights are a huge step in the right direction. We, as consumers, now have access to standardized information about flashlight performance where as before we were stuck trying to figure out how to compare apples to apples. However, in order to be as informed as possible, you have to understand the FL1 standards. Elzetta just created a post on their blog that takes a lot of mystery out of the new standards and I highly recommend that you check it out.
Freeman Outdoor Group’s 451 line of knives is growing in size and number. The new 451 Chopper, with its 6.5″ blade (11.8″ overall), is their largest knife yet.
The 451 Chopper is ground from 3/16″ thick LSS PGK steel. It features aggressively textured G-10 handle scales and a Cerakote finish. The 451 Chopper comes with a Spec Ops sheath with a custom formed plastic insert.
The drop point blade profile has a 3/4 height, flat primary grind with a 40 degree secondary grind. The blade looks very distinctive with its swedge grind and long fuller. The tang is exposed at the pommel for hammering.
