UNITY Tactical Launches SUMMIT Three-Hole Shroud

Tuesday, June 6th, 2023

Unibody construction yields superior strength-to-weight ratio

BROUSSARD, LA. (June 6, 2023) – UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, announced today the launch of SUMMIT™, a three-hole shroud for tactical helmets.

With an over-molded unibody construction, the SUMMIT™ shroud is durable in even the most austere environments, featuring a high-impact polymer shroud and a fixed over-molded stainless steel insert.

“NVG mounting solutions interface directly with the stainless steel insert, ensuring a solid lockup that resists wear over time. And there is zero movement with all three axes,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “Its unibody construction makes it the lightest and strongest three-hole shroud solution available. Coupled with a lifetime warranty, it’s a smart investment you can rely on in the field.”

Yielding a more than 25% weight reduction from currently fielded NVG shrouds, the SUMMIT™ shroud provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio. It secures night vision electro-optics, lights, cameras and other accessories with a proven fit that is sturdy and reliable.

“We focus on designing components that integrate tactical systems, and a helmet is a platform on which the end user needs many different systems to run effectively together,” said Trent Zimmer, founder and president of UNITY Tactical. “We aimed to design a shroud that works seamlessly with NODs and other accessories, while also removing all the unnecessary weight. The SUMMIT shroud is a great addition to our suite of existing helmet accessory solutions.”

SUMMIT™ offers users a lifetime warranty and is available for retrofit of ArmorSource™, Avon Protection™ Ceradyne, Busch PROtective®, Galvion™, MTEK™, Ops-Core® and many other global helmet brands utilizing the standard three-hole pattern.

It is available in five FED-STD colors, including black, cam green, coyote brown, desert tan and foliage green. Custom colors available with a minimum order quantity. SUMMIT™ retails for $89 and is available for immediate delivery in individual or large quantities now through authorized UNITY dealers and on UNITYtactical.com.

The Mexican bass guitar plays Chalino Sanchez’s music, setting the stage for Miami Vice days and nights.

KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (1 June 2023) – In a powerful tribute to the relentless spirit of the Special Forces selection candidates, UF PRO launched a new video, ‘Limits are a mindset.’ The video doesn’t just celebrate the grit and tenacity of these extraordinary individuals—it also encapsulates UF PRO’s commitment to the same ethos in designing tactical gear for military and law enforcement professionals.

The video follows the journey of a Special Forces selection candidate, offering a gripping testament to the perseverance required to overcome each gruelling challenge. This narrative mirrors UF PRO’s own commitment to transcending boundaries, not just in product innovation, but in the mentality that fuels the company.

UF PRO’s ‘Limits are a mindset’ video reflects the company’s belief that the pursuit of excellence is unending. In a world that demands constant evolution, both on the battlefield and in the tactical gear industry, the ability to adapt and overcome is vital.
