How a Pararescueman and a Combat Controller Created the Most Unique Field Pant in the Tactical World
In a landscape crowded with look-alike tactical clothing, every company claims innovation, but two special operations veterans just disrupted the entire category with a laptop and a surprise drop.
Introducing DinoCamTM, the world’s first operational camouflage made entirely from dinosaurs… and the first field pant engineered specifically for hot weather, maritime missions, shooting, hiking, and even jumping, designed by a Pararescueman and a Combat Controller who’ve lived the mission for real.
And yes, the dinosaurs are intentional.
THE OPERATORS BEHIND THE IDEA:
JOEY (PJ) & MICHAEL (CCT)
DinoCam wasn’t invented by a corporate design team or a trend-chasing fashion house. It came from two men whose careers were built on life-and-death performance.
Joey – USAF Pararescueman (PJ)
A seasoned rescue specialist with years of real-world experience in combat search and rescue, austere medicine, skydiving, mountaineering, and maritime operations. If there’s a scenario involving helicopters, cliffs, boats, explosions, or pulling someone back from the edge, Joey has been there, and wore gear that either helped or failed him.
Michael – USAF Combat Controller (CCT)
A battlefield airman trained to integrate airpower in the harshest conditions on Earth. Precision, durability, and mobility are necessar in hus world. Michael brings the JTAC mindset: everything must function flawlessly under pressure.
Together, the two combined decades of operational experience to build a pant that solves the problems they faced in the field and injects some personality back into a tactical gear industry that’s gone stale.
THE ORIGIN STORY:
“WHAT IF OUR CAMO WAS MADE OF DINOSAURS?”
Like most great ideas, DinoCam started with a joke between teammates.
After years of wearing identical patterns and earth-tone uniforms, Joey and Michael asked a simple question:
“Why doesn’t any company make gear that performs at a high level, but doesn’t take itself so seriously?”
Why not combine:
Real tactical function
A unique identity
A pattern that’s both disruptive and visually iconic
Boom. The DinoCam concept was born.
What started as a sketch of a camouflage pattern made entirely of hand-drawn dinosaurs quickly evolved into a full technical textile system. The overlapping shapes weren’t just novelty; they broke up outlines effectively, looked incredible, and turned into a pattern unlike anything the tactical world had ever seen.
BUILT FOR HEAT, WATER, AND MOVEMENT
These aren’t “fashion pants with a fun print.”
They are a true field pant:
HOT WEATHER PERFORMANCE
- Ultra-breathable stretch nylon
- Lightweight ripstop or sharkskin weave
- Moisture-wicking interior
MARITIME CAPABILITIES
- Drainage mesh in key pockets
- Materials that won’t stay waterlogged
MISSION MOBILITY
- Climbing-friendly articulated knees
- Parachute harness-compatible pocket layout
RANGE-READY FUNCTIONALITY
- Low-profile cargo pockets
- Streamlined silhouette that avoids snag hazards
- Kneepad inserts for your removable knee protection
- Stretch panels for kneeling, sprinting, or dropping to prone
OUTDOOR VERSATILITY
- Quick-dry after river crossings
- Durable enough for scrambling and climbing
This is a pant that feels just as at home on a rescue mission as it does on a hike, at the range, or standing on your porch grilling after a long shift.
A CAMOUFLAGE PATTERN WITH A CULT FOLLOWING
Each DinoCam Pant features thousands of meticulously arranged dinosaurs raptors, tyrannosaurus Rex, triceratops, pterosaurs, blended in layers that create a believable, disruptive pattern.
From far away?
It looks like a sleek, modern camouflage.
Up close?
It becomes a conversation starter, a badge of individuality, and a piece of tactical art.
No two pairs look exactly the same.
And because the pattern is original, trademarked, and protected, only Joey and Michael’s brand can make DinoCam exceed and outlast collectible value.
PERFORMANCE FIRST. PERSONALITY ALWAYS.
DinoCam Pants represent a new chapter in the tactical/outdoor clothing space Where elite-level function doesn’t have to be colorless, sterile, or boring.
This is gear that performs at the highest level…
built by two operators who’ve actually needed their gear to perform at the highest level…
and infused with the humor, identity, and authenticity that only a PJ and a CCT could bring.
