Italian boot maker Crispi is very popular with European LE. Their SWAT PRO GTX caught my eye as a possible solution for those looking for a GSG-9 replacement.
The full grain leather construction is paired with a Gore-Tex liner. Additionally, there is a hard ankle protective insert. Finally, the outsole is oil resistant, non-slip.
Helikon-tex was founded on a passion for nature and outdoor activities. Over 35 years of experience gave the company a solid ground to become one of the industry leaders in delivering modern clothes and gear for all types of adrenaline junkies. Today, this company from Poland is introducing its brand ambassadors.
Helikon-tex has asked eight experts from the shooting, sports, military and bushcraft and survival to join their Ambassador program. In the first step of the campaign, two of them were revealed. Naval, polish elite special forces unit GROM operator and Dave Canterbury, one of the best and well-know experts in survival and bushcraft in the world.
Who are the other Helikon-Tex ambassadors? They are professionals in their fields that have many years of experience and are a huge source of inspiration for the enthusiasts of outdoor and shooting sports. They constantly develop their skill sets. Every one of them will gladly assist you in any matters if you meet them in person and during any type of training.

For the needs of the campaign, there was a movie produced and a special photoshoot. In those movies, participants of the Ambassador Program will tell you about their #journeytoperfection. Both the photos and the movies were made at spectacular locations in the USA, Sweden, and Poland.
Helikon-tex products include a line of modern uniforms, accessories for any type of shooting activity, backpacks, outdoor equipment and a line of urban tactical clothes. The Polish-based company currently has a global reach. It does that by a well establishes a network of distributors in 70 countries in the world and two of their online store, the EU store www.helikon-tex.com and the newly open US store www.helikon-tex.us This is one of the reasons why next to the Polish Ambassadors they are also people from other countries like David Canterbury, a survival and bushcraft expert from the USA.

NEW BEDFORD, MA, ISSUED NOVEMBER 19, 2019…NFI Corp. (www.nficorp.com), the global leader in high performing printed graphic solutions, recently celebrated reaching the 1,000 days of safety mark with a celebration, held at the company on Friday, November 15.

Renaud Megard, president and CEO of NFI Corp., talked about how the company reached this milestone by putting policies in place that stress the importance of safety in every action employees take, and in reminding them to “Think first, then do.” New standard equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, were provided for everyone, and an employee Safety Commission was formed, to ensure continued communication regarding safety. Mark Smith, NFI Corp.’s site manager, and Fred Branquinho, plant engineer, spearheaded many of the safety initiatives.
The official 1,000-day-milestone was achieved on November 12, 2019, dating back almost three years since the last safety incident. Throughout this time, the company has also achieved a great deal of growth. Just this past summer, NFI Corp. was named to the Inc. 5000 list (#2,442), one of Boston Business Journal’s “Fast 50” (#23), and the fastest-growing company in the $5 million to $25 million category by Providence Business News.
During the celebration, Megard shared stories of employees recounting how their emphasis on safety in the workplace has spilled over to paying more attention to safety at home, especially when working on improvement projects or general home maintenance. He accepted a citation from New Bedford City Councilors Linda Morad and Brad Markey, who congratulated the employees of NFI Corp. on their accomplishment, as well as one from State Representative Antonio Cabral. Additionally, members of the New Bedford Police Department were on hand to learn more about the current safety policies in place and make additional safety recommendations.
“I am so proud of the NFI team for this accomplishment,” said Megard. “We couldn’t have done it without everyone committing themselves to this effort. Each person’s individual actions have kept all of us safe, and we are grateful that the idea of safety is one that all of our employees have embraced. We look forward to continuing to celebrate more safety milestones over the days and years ahead!”
