The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
Recently I received a Comms Check from one of our readers (Mike Pyryt). He was wondering what we thought of ZORE, a gun storage start-up company on Indiegogo. Too be honest I had thought this was going to lead to what was already on the market; big safe, small safe, weapon mount safe, etc. Instead, I […]
I was initially going to review the Bravo personally but a week after receiving the jacket I signed an exclusive with Massif so I wanted to make sure the jacket got a fair unbiased review. That said, I did wear it for a week and fucking loved it. I had a hard time letting it […]
I’ve been wearing the Arc’Teryx Alpha jacket for months now and can give this piece of kit The Loadout Room seal of approval. It’s a high-dollar item, but worth every penny if you need high performance gear. The Alpha jacket is a wind/rain jacket, not a thermal jacket, and as such it wears well over […]
Have you been looking for flashlight that is simple to use, reliable in all weather conditions, and doesn’t break the bank? Well look no further than the Surefire 6PX Defender.

First is SignAloud, created by some MIT students to allow people use use sign language to communicate audibly. Second is Pilot (smart earpiece), which could allow people […]
It was now day five for our Sniper/Recon team which consisted of myself (sniper), “P” as my spotter, and four reconnaissance rangers. We had been gathering intelligence and tracking a high value target behind enemy lines in southern Afghanistan for the past four days. With the intel we had gathered, we sent up our reports to an […]
The Sea Hunter is an unmanned surface vehicle (referred to as: Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel, or ACTUV) which was launched in April 2016. With the success of the UAV (drone) program it was an inevitability the United States Military would seek unmanned vehicles for other environments. Differing from UAVs, a ACTUV would be […]
The demands imposed by Special Operations Forces (SOF) training and missions are unlike any athletic endeavor. Success requires the mustering of all strength and endurance—both physical and mental. SOF are “Warrior Athletes,” the ultimate athlete, at the top of the athletic pyramid. One factor that will contribute to mission success and lifelong health is good […]
