SILYNX Announces the Releases New Additions to CLARUS PRO Line of In-The-Ear Hearing Protection Systems

Friday, January 13th, 2017

STERLING, Virginia– Silynx Communications, Inc. is pleased to announce the expansion of its CLARUS PRO line of in-ear electronic hearing protection and communications systems at SHOT Show 2017 in Las Vegas Nevada.

Whether the shooter is on the firing line or needing to take a phone call, the CLARUS PRO hearing protection products never must be removed. They are designed to solve hearing protection problems that the recreational shooter simply tolerated because there were no other options. Like their predecessor CLARUS PRO, the CLARUS PRO RECHARGE and CLARUS LITE are designed to be worn all day. They are ideal for range masters and trainers who are surrounded by high noise for extended periods.

Shooters invest thousands of dollars in their gun, their optics, their eyewear, their ammo, then they insert two cents worth of foam in their ears. It is time that they start investing in protecting their hearing as well. CLARUS PRO and LITE offer protection with hearing enhancement and comfort made for all day wear.

The CLARUS PRO LITE is a military grade in-ear electronic hearing protection enhancement system unlike any other in the industry. The CLARUS PRO LITE incorporates the same proprietary, high-grade electronics used in all its products while simplifying the feature set to make it ideal for competitive and recreational shooting.

The CLARUS PRO RECHARGE is powered by a lithium ion rechargeable battery. The CLARUS PRO RECHARGE is a military grade in-ear electronic hearing protection enhancement system that includes an auxiliary port for connecting to a smartphone, field radio, or other audio device. The in-line noise cancelling microphone ensures that your voice is heard even in noisy environments.

The CLARUS PRO LITE is offered at an MSRP of just $159.00, while the CLARUS RECHARGE is offered at an MSRP of only $269.00.

Honeywell Lightens Tactical Vests For Law Enforcement Officers By Up To 40 Percent

Thursday, January 12th, 2017


New fabric made from next-generation Honeywell Spectra® fiber offers breakthrough lightweight protection

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ, Jan 12, 2017 — Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that it has released Centurion™, a composite fabric designed to make law enforcement apparel and equipment 35 to 40 percent lighter. Centurion is the latest performance fabric made from Honeywell Spectra® fiber and is suitable for any type of application where the product needs to be strong but lightweight.

Traditionally, law enforcement officers have carried extra gear such as ammunition and radios by attaching them to modular lightweight load-carrying equipment (MOLLE) web designs that include straps sewn onto their tactical vests. MOLLE straps add extra weight and can make movement more difficult for officers.

By contrast, vests made with Centurion fabric are 35 to 40 percent lighter because they do not require extra fabric. Centurion is laser-cut according to user preference, resulting in slits along the vests from which officers can hang, hook or tie gear as needed. Because nothing needs to be sewn into these vests, they are lighter and more comfortable for officers to wear, as well as faster and easier for manufacturers to produce. Combined with Spectra fiber’s strength, Centurion-made vests are resistant to cuts, abrasion and water, making them suitable for many tough environments.

“Centurion represents the next evolution of lightweight law enforcement equipment, removing several pounds from the more than 20 pounds that an officer can typically wear while on patrol,” said Lori Wagner, armor marketing manager for Honeywell Packaging and Composites. “At the core of Centurion fabric’s remarkable properties is Spectra, Honeywell’s next-generation fiber that is the material of choice for law enforcement agencies around the world as well as the U.S. military. Honeywell’s armor technology not only provides life-saving materials, but also produces industry-leading, high-performance, lightweight fabric like Centurion, designed to help those who protect us.”

Spectra fiber is made from ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene using a patented gel-spinning process. Pound for pound, Spectra is 15 times stronger than steel, yet light enough to float. It has up to 60 percent greater strength than alternate aramid fiber. Spectra fiber is used to create Spectra Shield®, an advanced ballistic-resistant material. Honeywell’s Shield technology is a patented Honeywell process designed to optimize the ballistic performance characteristics of Spectra as well as aramid fiber in Gold Shield® materials.

Spectra Shield and Gold Shield products have been widely adopted and proven for the most advanced armor applications globally, from bullet-resistant vests, breast plates and helmets to combat vehicles and military aircraft – all which require lightweight solutions and superior performance.

Honeywell maintains an active Spectra fiber and ballistic materials research program focused on continuous improvement and development of high-performance materials. For more information about Spectra fiber, visit www.honeywell-spectra.com.
