NavELite Ramps Up Global Distribution with Five New Distributors

More news about the most anticipated compass in a long time from Laura Burgess Marketing and NavELite:

PALM HARBOR, FL (September 2012) –NavELite, a global provider of backlit magnetic compasses, proudly announces partnerships with several leading distributors of outdoor, military and law enforcement products. The distributors include: 215 Gear™, ADS, Inc., PLATATAC, Potomac River Group and SurvivIT. These distributors will carry NavELite’s wrist-worn, Backlit Magnetic Compass (BLMC) throughout their distribution centers to retailers worldwide.

The NavELite wrist-worn, Backlit Magnetic Compass was invented and patented by two Special Operation soldiers. Operations underscored the need for a reliable backlit compass for use when executing critical missions. It became apparent in the early stages of the Global War on Terror in Afghanistan when soldiers had to routinely reference cardinal directions for tasks such as Close Air Support (CAS), adjacent unit coordination, and SATCOM antenna orientation that the current equipment available did not meet the needs of the Special Operation soldier. The NavELite wrist-worn Backlit Magnetic Compass is a mission-enhancing piece of kit for the ground soldier; reducing nighttime operation signatures and adding to force protection. Thus, NavELite is pleased to offer this next generation, tactical, wrist-worn, magnetic compass for when survival counts

The wrist-worn Backlit Magnetic Compass from NavELite keeps correct magnetic orientation while providing an on-demand illuminated face to aid with orienteering and direction finding in low-light or no-light situations. This patented technology will allow soldiers in any military unit to acquire cardinal directions day and night with reduced night-time signature.

The NavELite BLMC can be purchased online at www.NavELite.com for a retail cost of $79.99. Dealers interested in carrying the NavELite BLMC may contact info@NavELite.com  for a Dealer Package and Application.

Scorched Dark Earth is what happens when you use too much gasoline on your bonfire. It is also a new color offering from Mission First Tactical (MFT). Their Scorched Dark Earth is a response to their customers who requested a color that would match many of the other Flat Dark Earth accessories on the market.

Russian Red Dot Sight Battery Life Test

By on September 20, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

I prefer to use Aimpoint red dot sights on my AKs because I trust them. However, some people like to keep their AKs more original/authentic/correct. There are a wide variety of Russian made red dot sights for that type of shooter, but the run time on these sights can vary so widely that it is hard to make sense of all the options. Thankfully, a poster with the screen-name TX-Zen (of RussianOptics.net), who happens to be an AK guru, posted a fairly comprehensive run time test. You can check it out on the UW Gear discussion forum.

INFORCE Pistol Light

INFORCE, maker of the excellent WML, is showing a new pistol mounted light at the US Army Maneuver Conference. Details are scant at this time but one detail that INFORCE was able to share with me is that the weight is pretty scant, too. This new light weighs in at just 2.85 ounces. Additional details will have to wait until INFORCE completes their press release.

I am most interested to hear about the switching system. It appears to be switched via large paddles or buttons. It is definitely unique which is a common trait among many INFORCE products.

Keep an eye on the INFORCE website and Facebook page for details.
