The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
Sadly, we’ve created and now live in a disposable world. Use it up, break it and throw it away. Disposable razors, disposable diapers, disposable camera, disposable lighters, water bottles, etc. Fortunately, there are still a few manufacturers that pride themselves with not going down the “disposable” road. Zippo is one such company. Founded in 1932 […]
One of the benefits of writing for The Loadout Room is the ability to test and review some of the industry’s newest and cutting edge products. Vertx has provided me with an interesting piece of kit that will appeal to the CIA, Executive Security, James Bond types. Designed for situations requiring the need to pack […]
When it comes to high-end alpine outerwear, most people haven’t heard of Mammut. But Mammut Sports Group AG, a Swiss company founded in 1862, has been supplying the outdoor enthusiast and mountaineer with high-quality equipment for over 150 years. Although popular in Europe, it’s remained under the radar in the U.S. for some time. But recently, […]
Most people think of SOG as full spectrum knife/tomahawk/multi tool company. But new for 2016 is a break from tradition and their introduction of “soft goods” including 6 backpacks ranging in volume from 12 liters to 35 liters. All constructed of high quality materials and features, just like SOG’s bladed tools. While wandering aimlessly through Shot Show this […]
We’ve all seen the dude walking through the mall with a pair of overtly tactical cargo pants, OD green rip-stop nylon shirt, backpack and tactical boots, right? This clown might as well have a sign on his back that says “kill me first” should a mass shooting occur. He’s either advertising that he has some […]
Assuming that you haven’t been sleeping under a rock for the past few months, you probably know about our monthly subscription based Crate Club. Typically advertised just to the right of this article. —> This is not the subscription club for the faint of heart either. It’s full of tactical and survival gear curated and […]
If you’re into Special Ops guys hand picking badass gear and sending it directly to you, check out The Crate Club. If not, go ahead and click back over to your Pinterest page and read about chalk painting your nightstand. The Crate Club is a monthly subscription model similar to BarkBox but instead of spoiling […]
The most common complaint I hear from skiers isn’t about their uncomfortable boots or the turn radius of their skis; it’s typically regarding the temperature of their fingers and toes. Frostbite will attack the extremities as blood flow is consolidated towards the core of the body during prolonged exposure to cold. The Marmot Ultimate Ski […]
New for 2017 is a drastic departure from the tried and true SOG multi tool design. SOG has introduced a line of Baton multi tools as well as a pair of belt buckle multi tools referred to as the Sync 1 & 2. This departure has proven that the designers at SOG are looking for […]
Last year, I tested and reviewed the 2016 Impact Sport Earmuffs from Howard Leight. A great set of earmuffs that I still use to this day. In fact, I’ve purchased a couple additional pairs that I keep in my range loadout bag. My two sons usually accompany me and I wanted the best for their ears as […]
