more about the military and socks
ELABORATEI just published an article titled “insanity” which I believe is what the military is approaching with respect to how best to keep a soldier’s feet warm or better said from freezing while operating in cold or arctic conditions.Those responsible for providing the soldier with appropriate footwear specifically socks for starters either have no knowledge of what they are looking [...]
INSANITY
INSANITYI have said it before and I’ll say it again; “according to Einstein doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is a sign of insanity”. Every year DLA awards a contract to a different company making socks for socks for the soldiers; why? because the socks received the previous year did not perform as described [...]
associations
ASSOCIATIONSI receive SECIALTY FABRICS REVIEW each month and the September issue is interesting. They have an article about some products made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 safe return to earth. The company making this stuff is Rumpl. They are located in Portland, Oregon. That is the headquarters. I doubt that they have a factory there or [...]

As we say in my neck of the woods - Mazal [...]

breathable and water repellent.
EVERYTHING IS BREATHABLE TODAY AND SUDDENLYFor the past to or three years I have heard on tv commercials for underwear that the underwear manufactures are now making breathable underwear. What have they been making for the past 100 plus years?Ever since gore falsely educated the general that they had a waterproof “breathable” material the rest of the garment sellers latched on [...]
