They had a few pre-production samples on hand at DSEi. The LTP integrates a NVG insert developed by Wilcox Industries. It is attached via a bolt so that it can be replaced if needed. Additionally, TW has upgraded their retail system and included the new Zorbium-based pad system. The Cam-fit harness also comes standard on the LTP.

DSEi – DEFCON 5

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013

I was very pleased to run across DEFCON 5, an Italian tactical gear producer. I had a great talk with Director Salvatore Marra. I did not know that they have US distribution via DEFCON 5 USA.

He showed me a new Sniper Suit developed in conjunction with French SOF.

This new suit integrates a variety of features including an underarm mesh ventilation system.

The adjustable hood can be stowed and incorporates tabs (as does the entire uniform) to attach scrim and other camouflage to transform the suit into a ghillie.

As you can see, they’ve also added a forearm information holder.

There are integrated Cordura knee pads and elbow pads as well as pockets galore which utilize the Canadian-style slotted buttons.

As you can see, the skirt of the smock features PALS webbing and will accept pouches.

DSEi – Cadex

Cadex is introducing the new Strike Lite Chassis. Featuring a smaller tube than its predecessor it is both more compact and lighter yet retains all of the features of the standard Strike Chassis. In fact, it weighs in at 6.1 lbs with Mil Std 1913 rails or 5.8 lbs without. Additionally, Cadex offers a butt pad extender as well as a sandbag rest that can replace the rear monopod. One additional feature is the incorporation of back up screws in the chassis in case you lose one on a mission.

Finally, Cadex has changed the sling attachment point. It is no longer incorporated directly into the chassis but rather comes as a rail adaptor. This new adaptor will also fit the XM2010 chassis.
