With autumn getting closer and closer, it’s high time to focus on our clothing once more and make sure we’ve got our wardrobe ready for colder and for sure more rainy days. The most important things to look for when choosing autumn clothing are thermal isolation and wind and water resistance, as they both come from the most unexpected ways and places to harass us with cold.

M-Tac is a relatively new brand in the clothing, outdoor and tactical accessories market, which started quickly cutting its piece of sales cake. All products offered by this company are made with the experience of people, whose lives often depend on how they can trust even the smallest piece of their gear. Thanks to that, in the M-Tac’s offer we can find everything, starting from camping equipment including gas stoves, cutlery, and sleeping mats, ending with highly tactical gear like weapon slings, tactical vests, or clothing.

Calendar autumn is coming soon, while its weather effects are already visible. Packing in several layers of fleece is waiting for us in three months, but now we will definitely need a good, light jacket that will protect us from wind and rain. As SpecShop.pl is a proud distributor of Helikon clothing , we would like to present you a few models that, in our opinion, deserve your attention.

Pepper spray remains the cheapest and easiest method of legal self-defense. Unlike telescopic batons, which require a lot of skill or expensive stun guns, the use of pepper spray requires minimal training and ensures high efficiency. Most importantly, however - pepper spray does not adversely affect the health of the person exposed to its influence - contrary to urban legends, the application of the gas does not cause blindness.

The AR-15 carbines, apart from the advantages resulting from their design, have a great, additional advantage - they are extremely popular. Thanks to this, we can find thousands of accessories and spare parts on the market, allowing us to perfectly match the configuration to our needs. Manufacturers include both mass production-oriented creators of cheap equipment, as well as the highest-quality materials and extremely specialized designers of the most expensive solutions.

Hi, I think you've met the Ka-bar Dozier knife more than once. But I would like to show you, in my opinion, a much more interesting version of this knife. I received the review knife from the Specshop.pl store. As always, let's start with the numbers. The whole knife is 184 mm, of which 76 mm is the length of the blade. The knife is equipped with a Clip Point blade made of AUS-8A steel with a thickness of 3 mm. The size works perfectly, there is no problem with carrying it in your pocket, but it is small enough to interfere with the performance of various tasks.

Before I start testing something and then issue an opinion about it, I always want to know the history of a given product in detail. I love to delve into the idea of creating a product, especially if it has some historical value for it. Then you hold an object in your hand that has a soul, and you know that you are not the only one who feels it. A year ago, I asked SpecShop to provide a Ka-bar knife model Mark1. Yes, it's been a year. Nothing is short with us, because we want to provide a comprehensive opinion on a given product. And that goes for every product. Of course, sometimes it is so that after a month you can already say that something is "in your hand", that it is cool, that it fits and "does the job" as young people say now, but in most cases we prefer to hold the product and test it in the full spectrum of its possibilities as well as in various terrain conditions.

We are just introducing a new brand to our offer and we would like to bring you closer to its history and the products that represent it. The Altama brand has existed since the American intervention in Vietnam and has since then had the opportunity to supply the US Army in every conflict it participated in. Therefore, there is a huge experience behind it, which, combined with the current technological possibilities, translates into functional and modern projects. The modern battlefield has evolved considerably, however, as you will soon find out, some ideas are still alive in slightly different forms.

Long weapons are a bit problematic to carry - especially due to the fact that we would prefer our bag, apart from being comfortable, to be also discreet. Solutions such as covers for fishing rods or guitar have undoubted advantages in the latter issue, however, they are far from the ergonomics of dedicated solutions. However, we must remember that weapons and ammunition, due to the materials from which they are made, weigh much more than the previously mentioned fishing rods or musical instruments, so the covers dedicated to them must be definitely more solidly sewn. However, this is not all that can be done to adapt the bag for transporting weapons - so let's take a look at some interesting models.

Whether it's for shooting during a barbecue or for self-training, recreational airguns are great entertainment during the spring and summer season. More accurate and less susceptible to the influence of wind than airsoft replicas, they are ideal for shooting at improvised targets such as cans or bottles. Therefore, we have selected for you some of the most interesting models with typical recreational characteristics. Instead of surgical precision, expect more breech recoil systems, magazines, and overall fun.

Recently, it was about suspensions in general, today we come to the specifics. We have selected a few models from our offer, which in our opinion are worth paying attention to when making a purchase. We made sure that each of the types described above was found, we also distinguished a great hybrid model from Magpul, and we proposed a budget option for beginners.

It will sound banal, but the rifle is only useful when you fire it. In any other situation, it is a four-kilo weight that prevents us from moving and manipulating other objects. The suspension is therefore a necessary, but unfortunately often underestimated element of the equipment. In this post, we will try to create a short overview of the solutions used in suspensions for carrying long arms. After this short reading, you should know what to expect from the copy you plan to buy.

Shooting, whether sports or tactical, exposes our hands to a number of factors that may cause more or less serious unpleasantness. From the most insignificant as irritation, from an overly aggressive grip texture to severe cuts due to environmental conditions. Of course, in the case of the Rapid Fire Pistol competition, the potential risk is limited to almost zero, but in the case of dynamic sports or professional applications, it is definitely worth protecting your hands against potential injuries. For this purpose, tactical gloves will of course be the best choice.

Recently, it was about accessories for cleaning our ARs - the blog aroused interest, so we decided to create a similar material about an equally popular platform - Glock pistols. We know how many of you have them, we have some interesting, dedicated accessories for them, so we decided to present them to you. Some of them can significantly facilitate your work with this platform, others will be universal enough to work efficiently with any pistol.

Glock remains one of the most popular firearms companies in the world. The manufacturer dominates the market of civilian weapons, and also boasts gigantic achievements when it comes to supplying various uniformed units. Glock users appreciate them for their extraordinary reliability, simplicity of construction, and safe handling and carrying. An important advantage of the Austrian pistols is also their extraordinary popularity.

When we buy our dream AR, it would be worth making sure that it serves us as long as possible. We hope that each of you - firearm owners knows well how to take care of your private copy. However, we thought that we would review our offer and look for something that would facilitate all maintenance procedures. Therefore, these will not be the necessary basic equipment, but rather functional accessories that will help you deal with specific, problematic activities. It just so happens that the supply of Real Avid gun cleaning accessories has just arrived, so we will base today's entry on the products from their offer.

Both in our stationary store and on various communication channels, we hear questions about which model of tactical pants or softshells to choose. Usually, we try to advise you so that the model best meets your expectations - it corresponds to the nature of the place and activity in which it will be used. However, we thought that we could also inspire you by presenting a few, in our opinion, very well thought-out and universal models of clothes. Today we will focus on our native Helikon and show you some products that we subjectively consider worth attention.
