5 MINUS 33 KODIAK MERINO WOOL FLEECE
Sitting in a treestand in below-freezing weather is an endurance test of epic proportions, and Merino wool can help a hunter stay on stand until that one big buck comes into view. Minus 33 may be a new name to retailers, but it was created by textile engineers from the venerable firm of L.W. Packard, a premium wool manufacturer dating back to 1916 that was forced out of business by the free trade agreements that put an end to most U.S. textile manufacturing.
Merino wool is soft, breathable, resists odors, and is warm when wet. And, it doesn’t melt from heat or electricity like synthetics, making it the go-to base layer for uniformed service personnel. For 2022, Minus 33 offerings will include the Kodiak Fleece Balaclava (MSRP: $44.99), Kodiak Fleece Neck Gaitor (MSRP: $35.99) , and Kodiak Fleece Brushed Wool Hoodies (MSRP: $199.99). All are a washable merino wool/spandex blend rated to 0 degrees. Booth #41130

6 N8 TACTICAL XECUTIVE IWB HOLSTER
The new N8 Tactical Xecutive IWB holster was developed to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of serious EDC practitioners and the firearm configurations they deploy for personal defense. Given the increased use of micro red-dot sighting systems with co-witness or suppressor-height open sights as well as the need for multiple options depending on changing apparel needs and carry scenarios, user-customization and maximum compatibility were key design goals of the Xecutive holster. Built around a firearm-specific single-piece Kydex molded pocket, the Xecutive holster features an optic-compatible cut and generously proportioned sight channel along the spine to accommodate most red-dot optics and elevated front open sights to ensure smooth drawing and reholstering. The Xecutive can also be used for handguns without optics and those sporting standard-height open sights, making the holster scalable for custom firearm configurations.
The N8 Tactical Xecutive IWB holster is compatible with a lengthy list of popular carry handguns from such manufacturers as Glock, Springfield, Sig Sauer, Taurus, Smith & Wesson, Walther, and Ruger. The holster will also fit rail-less 1911s with 4- and 5-inch barrels. MSRP: 49.95. Booth #40967

8 PRECISION REFLEX INC. AR15 AMBIDEXTROUS CHARGING HANDLE
The Gas Buster charging handle is a safety device with an ergonomic design that diverts harmful gases, oil, and dirt particles away from the shooter. Precision Reflex is adding two new AR15 ambidextrous charging handles to this line. Each charging handle retains the ability to divert the gasses and dirt expelled from the typical gas-operated AR15 rifle.
The handles are constructed of T6 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum. There are two options for latch design. The original latch gives the handle the look of the original Gas Buster charging handle; the large latch is just that — a larger hook-type latch. Both handles feature the next-generation of PRI Gas Buster technology. Booth #20326
