Their writing kits, like this handy pocket sized 935T-KIT are the military standard anywhere regular

The Wilson Tac-Pen is both a fine writing instrument and a last-ditch weapon, made from Armor Tuff-coated, hard anodized 7075 T-6 aluminum alloy. Precision machined and perfectly sculpted, it’s a gift that says “We’re betting you’ll be around for a long, long time.” See it under Wilson Tactical Knives at www.wilsoncombat.com

The Sitka Gearslinger is a multi-position backpack, go-bag, weekender and all-things-holder ingeniously designed by Maxpedition into a form any grunt will enjoy. Lots of thoughtfully laid out pockets, super-tough fabric and all the right military colors make it an easy choice at www.maxpedition.com

The Jake models by Wiley-X deliver both in one package thanks to their removable Facial Cavity Seal and fog-free Top Down Ventilation system. Offered in a variety of frame colors and lenses, including new Light Adjusting lenses. www.wileyx.com
