Friday, December 13th, 2013

Mystery Ranch | RATS PACK BVS from Mystery Ranch on Vimeo.

Mystery Ranch’s RATS pack is designed as a frontline medic bag with every detail focused on quick, one-handed access to organized medical supplies. The RATS features multiple trauma shears and tourniquet holders throughout and large reinforced handles for hanging the pack on branches or inside helicopters. It’s sized so when mounted on the NICE frame, there is room below the pack for carrying litter or hydraulic combi tools.

Internally, the RATS features four removable pockets with clear vinyl windows and two IV bag pockets. An internal trash pocket allows the wearer to keep track of items used. Two internal sleeves allow for storage of splints and other long items. The removable Bolstered Ventilation and Stability (BVS) system optimizes the pack for uses with or without body armor. The back panel of the RATS stores a closed-cell foam pad to insulate patients from the ground.

See it at SOMA booth #101.

Burlington Celebrates 90 Years

Friday, December 13th, 2013

December 12, 2013, Greensboro, NC – Burlington, a division of International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), recently celebrated its 90-year anniversary. Founded in 1923 by J. Spencer Love, Burlington became the world’s largest textile manufacturer in the world. The Burlington brand continues today as a leader in technology and textile innovations, supplying advanced performance fabrics to the apparel, military, active wear, barrier, and contract markets around the world.

Joseph L. Gorga, CEO of International Textile Group commented, “Burlington’s successes came from its innovations with new products, new machinery, and new branding strategies, and we congratulate the men and women of Burlington, both today and generations before us, for their contributions to this great brand.”

“Burlington’s first success came from the ambition and willingness of Spencer Love to take a risk and try a new fiber, called rayon,” said Jeff Peck, President of Burlington. “Throughout the past 90 years we’ve overcome many challenges by returning back to our entrepreneurial roots, and today Burlington’s legacy continues on a global scale, focused on innovation and advanced performance fabrics.”

Burlington’s performance technologies and brands are found today across the military, outdoor, active wear, barrier, apparel and safety markets and include No Fly Zone, MCS, Maxima, Class C, Durapel Plus, Easywool, Synatural Cool, and Sigma 4 Star.
