Vertx will officially launch the Men’s Kryptek Pants at
SHOT show but are already available for pre-order. Here’s a preview
of the super-stealth Typhon pattern worn by Jim Smith, battle of
Mogadishu Veteran and Spartan Tactical Leadership Trainer. Look for
it (and maybe a super-stealth 10% off savings code) at the SHOT
show in Las Vegas this month.

The Officer Survival Initiative (OSI) is partnering with Phokus Research Group, to make the revolutionary Sons Trauma Kit available to the law enforcement and civilian markets.
The Sons Trauma Kit was originally designed by a US Navy SEAL and has been strenuously tested and combat-proven over the past two years in Iraq and Afghanistan. Designed and engineered for maximum efficiency, the innovative Sons Trauma Kit eliminates bulky medical pouches by fitting easily, securely and comfortably behind medium ballistic plates, underneath concealable armor, or in hydration packs or sleeves. The Sons Trauma Kits are packed in heavy-duty medical-grade vinyl and pressure sealed with RF welded seams. The kits feature a patent pending pull-tab and “rip-cord” for quick deployment and contents are designed around injury patterns in order of priority for battlefield or gunshot wound trauma treatment. Custom kitting for agencies and groups is also available through OSI.

The Warrior Protection and Readiness Coalition will be at SHOT Show recruiting new members to join their association of industry leaders advocating for the individual equipment needs of the warfighter. Here are some details they provided to us.
The Warrior Protection and Readiness Coalition (WPRC) is the unified industry voice engaged in advocacy, industry education, and grassroots efforts focused on our mission – to support warfighter readiness by ensuring American service members continue to train and fight with superior gear. Amplifying your company’s voice through the Coalition on issues such as needed funding lines and procurement reforms will increase the pace and probability of improvements and positively impact your business.
With the severe defense budget pressures and force drawdowns, significant risks and uncertainty exists to the current standard of operational equipment providing tactical advantage to the warfighter. This standard must be maintained to ensure warfighters never again enter conflict insufficiently equipped.
The WPRC is engaging the newly sworn in Congress to expand our successful multi-year efforts to build “on the record ” awareness for the need to continue funding for individual and unit level equipment while also improving related procurement processes to ensure industry can best innovate, produce and deliver superior equipment in the future.
Add your company’s voice to the Coalition. A unified industry voice in this sector is a critical and historically missing component of warfighter readiness. We welcome the opportunity to discuss WPRC membership with you at the SHOT Show. To set up a meeting and learn more, please contact Craig Heilman at craig.heilman@warriorprotection.net and see our website at: www.warriorprotection.net
