TatJacket Tattoo Cover Sleeves

It has been a while since we have done a TatJacket review and a lot has changed for the company. In today’s Police Equipment Reviews article we are going to revisit TatJacket, one of the best temporary cover up solutions for your tattoos. For those of you that don’t know what TatJacket is, it is just that; A temporary cover up for your tattoos.

Let’s face, we have all seen the police officer in his short sleeve police uniforms with his arm completely tattooed. You have had to wonder how he could get away with the visible tattoos. Most likely he was grandfathered in due to no policy being in place when he got them. Don’t think you are going to be that lucky if you go out right now and get your arm sleeved because almost agency has a tattoo policy in place.

So what are you suppose to do if you want to get your arms tattooed and your boss or agency won’t allow that? The answer is simple, get yourself a TatJacket. The TatJacket comes in several styles and colors with its main purpose of being a temporary tattoo cover up. The TatJacket is made out of a 90% nylon / 10% spandex material that comes in three colors. Additionally the TatJacket has a non slip top cuff and provides your arms and legs a UPF50 sun protection. Yes, you heard Police Equipment Reviews right, your arms and legs.

TatJacket makes several sleeves for the arms, both short and long sleeve. They also make a half sleeve that is designed to cover your lower leg or calf region. Recently TatJacket has seen an increase in wrist tattoos so they have developed a wrist sleeve. The TatJacket wrist sleeve can also work as an ankle sleeve if you need to cover your ankle tattoo.

In addition to tattoo cover up sleeves, TatJacket sells tattoo cover up makeup. No matter what size of tattoo you have, no matter what type of job you do, and no matter what your skin color, TatJacket has a temporary tattoo cover up product for you.

Police Equipment Reviews is back!!!

Wow where has time gone? Police Equipment Reviews has been so busy lately that we can’t believe how long it has been since the last time we did a police gear review. We started a web hosting review site after becoming interested in that stuff after the launch of our police equipment review site and police guns review site. But we are back and promise to get you more cop gear reviews on a frequent basis.

In today’s Police Equipment Review’s blog we are going to talk about some of our favorite pieces of police equipment that are out there. Kind of a general article! Those items are going to be the Rings Blue guns, Streamlight TLR 3 tactical light, and the 5.11 Tactical Taclite pro pants.

The Rings Blue guns are simulated firearms that are designed to be used during training scenarios. The guns are made out of polyurethane with steel reinforcement so that they last very long. As you can probably tell from the name, the Rings Blue guns are blue in color signifying that they are a safe training weapon. The Rings Blue guns are available in Beretta, Walther, HK, Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, and many long guns. Heck they even make a Taser International replica. These training firearms can be purchased at most major police gear stores.

The Streamlight TLR 3 is very similar to the Streamlight TLR 2 but a newer version. It features an LED light with 4,100 candela peak beam intensity which is a lot brighter than a lot of other tactical lights. The Streamlight TLR 3 will run for about 1.5 hours continuously. The Streamlight TLR 3 costs about $84.99.

Finally, a pair of police pants that is very comfortable. Even if they are designed for plain clothes, the 5.11 Tactical Taclite pants are very popular. These pants are very lightweight and made out of polyester and cotton. They feature all the necessary pockets and are available in six colors. The cost of the 5.11 Tactical Taclite pants are about $39.99.

Sig Sauer P229

One of the most popular Sig Sauer pistols is the Sig P229. The Sig Sauer P229 comes in many styles and calibers, all of which are some of the best police guns. Here are a couple of the most popular Sig Sauer P229 models.

Sig Sauer P229R- The original and still most popular Sig P229. It comes in a 9mm, 40 caliber, or .357 SIG version. Because of its accuracy and ergonomics, the Sig P229R is one of the most popular duty weapons. The Sig Sauer P229R is California complaint and costs about $799.99.

Sig Sauer P229 Elite- Built with the same high standards of all the Sig 229 pistols, The Sig Sauer P229 Elite has some extra features on it. Those features include a custom designed beavertail grip, front cocking serrations, and wood grips. The P229 Elite is available in both a 9mm and 40 caliber model. The Sig Sauer P229 Elite is not California compliant and costs about $1099.99.

Sig Sauer P229 SCT- On this Sig P229 pistol, the main benefit is the extra magazine capacity. In the 9mm gun you can carry up to 18 rounds and in the 40 caliber model you can carry up to 14 rounds. The Sig Sauer P229 SCT is not California complaint and costs about $974.99.

As like all police guns, there are many accessories for the Sig Sauer P229 pistols. There are many holsters available including Fobus holsters and Bianchi holsters. In addition there are several tactical flashlights including Streamlight flashlights and Surefire flashlights.

On a side note, Police Equipment Reviews has long been a customer of BlueHost web hosting and has promoted a BlueHost promo price in the past. We just got wind that BlueHost is about to make some changes to their web hosting package and should be really good. One of the key changes is that they are going to be extremely compatible with internet merchant accounts which is good for online police gear stores. That will make the selling of police equipment online a lot easier for them.

Best Fire Gear

Hi readers, wanted to pass on some exciting news from Police Equipment Reviews. We have had such great response from our readers that we have launched a new site called Best Fire Gear. This site is dedicated to finding the best fire gear and doing fire equipment reviews. We all know how firemen want to be cops so we couldn't leave them out!!! Actually, we felt that there weren't any good, legit fire gear review sites out there so we started one!

The site is not only geared toward firefighters but also the public. In addition to reviewing fire uniforms such as American Firewear and other firefighting equipment, we are going to be publishing articles on fire prevention and other useful tutorials. We have already listed some of the best fire extinguishers such as Kidde fire extinguishers and First Alert.

We are really excited about the new site. While cops and fire give each other a hard time, we are brothers and sisters. Police gear is often used by fire personel and fire equipment is often used by police.

TatJacket Tattoo Cover

Police Equipment Reviews recently had the opportunity to test out the new TatJacket tattoo cover sleeve. This product isn’t limited to just police equipment. Anybody with tattoos can utilize the TatJacket. The TatJacket tattoo cover sleeve is a nylon/spandex sleeve that slides over your arm or calf and covers your visible tattoos. The sleeve is very comfortable and designed to look like your skin.

Products like the TatJacket are becoming more and more popular as tattooing becomes more popular. A lot of people are expressing themselves in the form of ink, but their workplace doesn’t like that. A lot of police agencies have tattoo policies that prevent the tattoos from being visible. That is where TatJacket comes into play. They have tattoo cover sleeves in short and long sleeve and multiple colors. No more wearing long sleeve police uniforms just to cover up your tattoos.

As Police Equipment Reviews mentioned above, products like TatJacket are becoming more popular. There are quite a few manufacturers in this field and Police Equipment Reviews has reviewed a couple of them. We like the TatJacket tattoo cover sleeve for several reasons: comfort, color, and price. The TatJacket is very comfortable and allows all the mobility you need. The best thing about the TatJacket is the price. For the price of one tattoo cover up sleeve from a competitor, you can get two TatJacket cover sleeves! So what is the price of the TatJacket cover sleeves? They only cost $19.95 so you don’t have any excuses on not ordering them from the official TatJacket website.

Garmin GPS Devices and Police Guns

Police Equipment Reviews has some exciting news to announce. Last week we launched a sister site that specifically deals with police guns. Best Police Guns is designed to provide you with information on police guns, gun holsters, and prices of police guns. We have Glock reviews, Sig Sauer pistol information , and Ruger prices. The site is definitely in the growing stages and can only be successful with all your help! The same help that made Police Equipment Reviews so successful. Check it out and let us know your thoughts!

So today's blog is not about traditional police gear. It's not about police scanners, it's not about ASP batons..it's about Garmin GPS devices. Not too often are GPS devices considered police gear but think about it. What is Lojak basically? What is Onstar? We used GPS all the time in police work but don't relaize it.

Recently Police Equipment Reviews was given a Garmin Nuvi 255 to try out in our car. The Garmin Nuvi 255 is an entry level GPS device and only costs about $200.00. It does not have all the bells and whistles but it has what you need for police work. We use it to enter addresses where we are driving to and also as running map. The Garmin Nuvi is very nice and Police Equipment Reviews highly recommends it.

Most police gear stores don't sell Garmin GPS devices so you should check out your local camping gear stores instead.
