Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

SteriPEN handheld UV water purifiers are ideal for military use; fast, light, easy and most importantly, effective. The ultraviolet light destroys microbes in water that could make you sick and because they use UV light there is none of that odd taste associated with chemical treatments meaning you are more likely to stay hydrated. SteriPEN is effective against bacteria, viruses, and protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium.

SteriPEN is a leading brand for water purification in the Outdoor Market and they’ve developed a model, the SteriPEN Defender, specifically for the military. It’s Made in the USA and can purify 32 oz (1L) in 90 seconds or 1-16 oz in 48 seconds.

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

We have a few new photos of the A-TACS pattern we will be releasing over the net day. We thought this would be a good first image since it is so much different than the previous shots. All of the equipment in the photos is real and the pattern was not photoshopped.

SLEEK Knee and Elbow Protection System from Team Wendy

Monday, November 16th, 2009

I saw these at AUSA and was pretty impressed. They are unlike anything else currently on the market. Team Wendyâ€™s new SLEEKâ„¢ Knee and Elbow Pad System (KEPS) have taken the technology developed for the military issue ZAP helmet pads and applied it to your knees and elbows. The low-profile SLEEKâ„¢ system has a non-slip, embossed cap with a distinctive flat center designed to provide grip and stability on any surface, wet or dry. In addition to being grippy, cap also has a digital design and embossed size information to help with purchase. The caps are also secured by continuous, durable stitching that prevents debris from lodging between the cap and the pad.

Like all Team Wendy KEPS, the SLEEKâ„¢ system is made with resilient, waterproof, shock-resistant foam that quickly recovers to its original thickness after kneeling and impact. The pads are lined with high-friction Grippiumâ„¢ material, which prevents them from slipping down the arm or leg once strapped in place. SLEEKâ„¢ KEPS are available in Coyote Brown, UCP, Woodland Camo, and Black, and come in sizes Small through X-Large.

With Team Wendyâ€™s SLEEKâ„¢ KEPS, you can focus on your mission, not your equipment.

Team Wendy will be exhibiting at the Soldier Equipment and Technology Expo and Conference November 17 – 18 near Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Be sure to visit booth #731 to learn more about SLEEKâ„¢ KEPS and the entire line of Team Wendy products including the issue ZAP helmet pads. Additional information is also available online at www.TeamWendy.com.

Para USA to Exhibit Tactical Target Rifle

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Para USA will display their Tactical Target Rifle this week at the Soldier Equipment and Technology Expo and Conference in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

The Para Tactical Target Rifle utilizes their proprietary Delayed Impingement Gas Systemâ„¢ (DIGSâ„¢). The recoil spring is over the op-rod rather than in the butt stock so they can feature a folding stock in the design. This Rapid Deployment Stockâ„¢ (RDSâ„¢) reduces the overall length of the Tactical Target Rifle by almost 10-inches when the stock is folded. The RDSâ„¢ sliding stock has five positions.

Be sure to visit Para USA at booth #128 or on the web at www.para-usa.com.
