Warrior Expo East – Under Armour

Friday, July 13th, 2012

Coming late this month, are a new pair of men’s pants (Breach) that integrate DWR at the fiber level rather than a treatment. As you can see, water beads up on the surface and due to the inherent qualities of the Durable Water Repellant it isn’t going to wash or wear out.

Also, look out Spring 13 for a new women’s line.

Finally, be ready to get your socks knocked off as Under Armour expands from three tactical footwear styles to 11 in January. One of the major draws will be the integration of their Spine technology into the tactical line.

Let’s face it, DOD budgets aren’t exactly getting larger these days, so, in the interest of diversifying their customer base and product portfolios, Serket has teamed with TenCate (scrap fabric only – no real Defender M was harmed in the manufacture of this sun dress) and Travis McDowell (and his Grandma) to develop a functioning prototype of the world’s first flame resistant, no-melt, anti-static, anti-microbial, MultiCam sundress (concept only – hold your money orders, operators are NOT standing by).

Test/evaluation is currently underway in Somalia, Syria, The Congo (in Kryptek Mandrake) and Asheville, N.C.
