The Sleeka Elite jacket is a mid-layer insulated shell made of a sleeping bag style material. Snugpak designed the Elite to be worn under your gear or as a stand alone jacket. The ability to have the jacket reverse and change to black makes it useful as a civilian side jacket.

The following review is on a product by Gear Keeper. The retractor lanyard system is very versatile in mount methods and forces to extend. It allows you to attach an item like a flashlight, multi tool, keys etc to your person. Once attached you can extend the cord by pulling the item to use it. This helps minimize loss of essential small kit items. They even make retention systems for firearms. The one being reviewed in the article is the 9oz of force Heavy Duty Snap Clip model. This model allows the Gear Keeper to be attached to a D-ring or other similar item.
The following review is on the 5.11 Tactical Rush 24 pack. I am no longer going to school but sometimes need to drag my laptop pens and paper around for work or this site. This bag was chosen for the amount of organization it affords the wearer. The bag was designed and tested by Kyle Lamb of VTAC.
In 2010 I attended my first SHOT Show. SHOT Show is an extremely large firearms, police, military and outdoor convention hosted every year. This year it was in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unfortunately I was attending for a different reason then this site this year so there aren’t as many pictures as I would hope. However I will be attending next year and will be sure to take more photo’s.
