Wild Things Gear has been known in SOF and high altitude mountain climbing circles for years. They\u2019ve been taking care of Marines for almost as long, though \u201cHappy Suit\u201d wearing gyrenes may not realize who they have to thank for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently Wild Things Gear teamed up with a storied former Army sniper to develop what they call the Shadow Watch Kit<\/b>. It\u2019s designed for hides, OPs, and those times when you have to hunker in place and shiver while you wait for a target to show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe weather may change, the objective remains. New from Wild Things, the Shadow Watch Kit (download overview here)<\/a>uses proven layers to defeat the elements and achieve your objectives,\u201d Wild Things says. “All in an ultralight and packable clothing system engineered and built in USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the sniper community and designed with input from Jim Gilliland, Founder of Shadow 6 Consulting<\/a>, the Shadow Watch Kit prepares the warfighter for sniping, observation, and special mission climate requirements.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They go on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis thoughtfully assembled 10-piece system provides user-configurable layering options to achieve a wide range of comfort, stealth, and protection to defeat the elements and the enemy. Mobile or static, cold or wet, mountain or valley floor \u2013 the Shadow Watch Kit provides the utmost in performance when environments become uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wild Things Gear Insulated Soft Shell Pants: fleece lined, 4-way stretch pants designed with performance, durability, and warmth. Gusseted crotch and articulated knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild Things Gear Power Stretch Pullover: an expedition weight 1\u20444-zip pullover top, watch cap and shorts for packable, next to skin warmth without the bulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild Things Gear Knuckle Roaster-FR: a packable hand warmer and storage. Allows user to maintain hand dexterity in the coldest environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wild Things Gear Shelter\/Poncho Liner: a quilted DWR nylon liner for use as an insulated blanket or poncho liner \u2013 72\u201d x 96\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
