Latest Gear stories, analysis, and updates from SOFREP.
I can see the Admin Panel 1 being a valuable piece of gear for those that frequently travel. When staying in a hotel you need to be prepared to grab what you can and leave in the event of an emergency. Often times that equates to whatever you have in your pockets. At the end […]
Adidas is a German multinational company that has been producing high quality footwear and outdoor gear since 1949. Following a family feud with his older brother Rudolf who founded Puma, Adolf Dassler started Adidas and the brothers quickly became rivals in business. Ironically, both Puma and Adidas are still headquartered in the same German town of Herzogenaurach. Adidas […]
In an effort to provide our readers with disaster preparedness information as well as recommended gear for go bags and survival kits, it’s sometimes hard for people to justify having a dedicated go bag. 99% of those that commute for work and school already carry some type of bag or backpack. Why not take advantage of that bag […]
The Columbia Heatzone 1000 TurboDown Jacket is touted as the world warmest jacket. That’s quite an ambitious claim considering the myriad of high-end down jackets available from manufacturers like The North Face, Mammut, RAB, Arc’Teryx, Marmot, and more.

Gatorz sunglasses are certainly as tough as they look. Featured in the movie Lone Survivor on several of the SEAL Team actors, they earn their keep within the SEAL Teams. I know of a few Team guys that swear by these sunglasses. I personally have been wearing them for several months. The first thing I noticed when I put […]
Ruger seemingly snuck in a variety of new revolver models onto their webpage. Typically we see a press release, or a social media release but so far I’ve seen neither. I just happened to receive a text from a friend telling me Ruger was bringing back the SP 101 in 9mm. The SP 101 is […]
The following list of gear will give you a solid base for building out your go-bag. I don’t necessarily like the term ‘bug out bag’. That gives the impression that I’m leaving without a pre-determined destination known. I prefer either go-bag or bolt-bag. If you have a plan, you have a destination to ‘go’ or […]
“Partial EDC, and an answer to the question of what item do I use the most….either Swiss Army knife or flashlight, tough to say. Used the Swiss to cut gum out of a dogs hair yesterday but flashlight gets used daily too.” – Kyle Defoor Products seen in the photo: Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA flashlight Victorinox Swiss […]

Matches have been around for quite some time, they have been carried, and used by most outdoorsmen.

That’s why we founded BÆRSkin in 2019 – to create the world’s best outdoor gear that’s just as comfortable at home as it is durable outdoors. “Bad fitting, bulky, and boring” is how we felt about 1000’s of regular fleece hoodies we tested.
