NEW Condor Lightweight Tactical Ripstop Pants

Condor has now entered the tactical pant market with their Condor Lightweight Tactical Ripstop Pant.  The 7oz. poly/cotton ripstop fabric makes this pant an excellent choice for all-season wear. Let's take a closer look at it's features and highlight some that competitive pants lack.  

Most "tactical" pants have an abundance of pockets, and the Condor Lightweight Pant is no different. However, the options this pant gives you with these pockets are second to none.

The rear pocket is one of the most used on any pant, and the condor features dual rear pockets on each side.  Casually looking at the pant you would think it's a standard flapped pocket, but there is actually an additional open-topped pocket behind the flapped one.  

With a velcro top closure this is perfect for a notebook on the job or even a pair of pliers while working around the house.  Competitors pants feature one flapped pocket or one open pocket which can be awkward to access or to large to be useful.

The front pockets include an internal coin pocket and are re-enforced so your knife won't wear the edge out too quickly.  

Just to the rear of this pocket is a 5" deep x 1.5" knife pocket on either side and just in front is a 4.5" deep x 3.5" front pocket that should fit most any smart phone. The hook and loop flap on this pocket may also be tucked inside and secured with a secondary closure if you'd rather have this pocket function as an open-topped one.

The two roomy bellowed cargo pockets feature dual internal divider pockets that will accommodate 1 30 round AR-15 mag each, otherwise are perfect for organization.

Finally the calf pockets are 6" deep x 3.25".

Rounding up the features is a self-adjusting tunnel waist, button and YKK zippered fly and slots in the pant cuffs that are drawstring ready.

As you can see, the Condor Lightweight Tactical Ripstop Pant gives you plenty of options as to how you can use your pocket configurations. Get you a pair in either Khaki, Navy or Black in sizes up to a 40" waist at uscav.com today.

Re-Introducing the Condor Summit Soft Shell Jacket

One of our most successful products, the versatile windproof, waterproof and breathable Condor Soft Shell Jacket has now been renamed the Condor Summit Soft Shell Jacket.

Most soft shells available today are geared toward the outdoor market. These tend to feature a trim and simplistic design without a lot of extras. Condor's soft shell is different because it is specifically tailored to the tactical operator and is packed with many valuable features. 

The soft shell layer is constructed from a 4-way stretch polyester that gives you excellent mobility without bulk and noise. Providing a barrier against the elements, you also have a durable, waterproof, lightweight and breathable fabric beneath the shell that let's the jacket breathe while stopping rain and snow from ruining your day. To retain warmth, the interior is lined with a micro fleece to help keep you warm and wick moisture when the temperature rises. 

So where are the tactical features? The first thing you will notice on the exterior, are the oversize loop pads on the arms for insignia placement. You won't find these on your department store jackets. Also, three zippered pockets on the arms allow you to access small items such as electronics with ease. The upper pockets on each arm feature chord pass-through ports so you can choose which side is more usable for you.

On the chest, there are 2 large zippered slash pockets that have a polyester and mesh lining.  The orientation of these allows access even when worn under body armor. Inside each they have one open-top pocket - perfect for a phone or radio - a chord pass-though port - and a D ring to tether items to. Both of these pockets are identical in layout.

On the lower back, you'll find one large tubular style pocket with zippers on both the right and left hand sides for ambidextrous access.

The elbows and forearms are reenforced with the same shell material for durability.

A cinched waist and hook and loop style wrist closures help keep the cold from blowing in, but if you find yourself getting warm, the pit-zips give this jacket excellent ventilation. Also the chest pockets will provide some added ventilation as well since they are mesh lined.

The full front zip has dual zipper pulls, giving the ability to open the bottom part of the jacket for extra mobility. The mandarin style collar can be zipped tight and features a anti-chafing cover over the zipper for comfort.  

Permanently attached to the collar is a full hood that can be stowed in it's own zippered compartment when not needed. Dual drawstrings on this hood allow it to be cinched for a proper fit.

Finally, inside the chest are two zippered fleece lined pockets for ultimate security.

For those wanting even less bulk, check out the new Condor Phantom Soft Shell Jacket as well.  It features an updated pocket layout and a mandarin style collar with no hood.

Either the Condor Summit or Phantom Soft Shell Jacket comes in Black, OD, Foliage and Coyote Tan.  Pick one up for your next mission at uscav.com.

New 2011 Fall U.S. Cavalry Catalog

Our new 2011 Fall Catalog is now online!

The new 2011 U.S. Cavalry Fall catalog features the awesome Under Armour Speed Freek boot on the cover. With a Gore-Tex liner and genuine Crye MultiCam, this boot is sure to be a hit! This 84 page catalog is also filled with tons of great fall outerwear, uniforms, field gear and footwear from your favorite brands.

Under Armour MultiCam Speed Freek Boot Hitting Soon

UPDATE: The Under Armour Speed Freek is now active and in stock!

Here's a follow up to our post back in January about the Under Armour's boots we got a peek at on the Shot Show floor.

The 6" Speed Freek is one of Under Armour's latest boots designed for military, law enforcement and civilian operators.  Joining the Valsetz and GORE-TEX Breech, the Speedfreak is a ultralight MultiCam boot for quick missions.

As a lightweight assault boot, the Speed Freek has a great set of features.  The Cordura MultiCam panels on the upper compliment the coyote pigskin. The fully contoured midsole also features a tan/olive coloration and are practically weightless. The outsole is aggressively designed and is puncture resistant for when you're on rocky terrain or avoiding glass and nails in an urban environment.

For your foot health, the Ortholite footbeds provide extra arch support and ETC anti-friction technology helps cut down on hot spots, while the GORE-TEX liner will keep you dry in wet weather. This means that your feet will stay comfortable and supported with fewer blisters throughout your mission.

This is a great boot that blends seamlessly into your MultiCam uniform, such as the new TRU Xtreme from Tru-Spec.  Available also in black for law enforcement and special operations.  The Speed Freek boot will be available at uscav.com starting in August.

Massif's New Integrated Tactical Jacket Is Here - Get Your Tan ITJ Soft Shell Exclusively at uscav.com!

U.S. Cavalry is excited to offer the new Massif Integrated Tactical Jacket. The first run of these jackets are Berry Compliant and made in the USA.  Three colors of jackets are available:  Tan (a U.S. Cavalry exclusive), OD Green and Black.

This performance soft shell is designed specifically for seamless compatibility with tactical vests and armor.  It lacks unpractical hand-warmer pockets that aren't accessible anyway under body armor or plate carriers, and would just add bulk. However, two mesh lined chest pockets and two shoulder pockets give plenty of storage for gear you need to keep close by. The mesh lining also gives the wearer the option to ventilate when and where they need to without removing their kit.

The mobility and comfort of the ITJ is great. Constructed with a lightweight 5.5 ounce 4-way stretch woven fabric for exceptional breathability and moisture wicking in the chest, the sleeves and yoke utilize a wind resistant 6.5 ounce 4-way stretch fabric treated with DWR for wet conditions. This is the first garment made by Massif specifically for missions that do not require flame resistance (FR).

Since this is a non-FR garment, the price is extremely competitive for a quality tactical softshell.  As of this post you can buy yours at uscav.com for $119.99 and receive a free matching U.S. flag patch with your order for a limited time.

The hybrid design of the Integrated Tactical Jacket fills an immediate need for a comfortable, high-performance shell for professionals who spend a lot of time in armor in varied conditions.

A high collar protects the solider, LE officer or contractor against the elements, slings and hot brass when on the range or in combat.

Massif is a world leader in designing and manufacturing high-performance outdoor gear. Many of Massif’s products are approved and fielded by the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, including the Army Combat Shirt and the Massif Elements Jacket.

Get one, try it out and leave us your review of the Massif Integrated Tactical Jacket. We'd love to hear what you have to say.
