Essex Junction, Vermont (September 10, 2021) – Revision Military has been awarded a contract with the Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) of Sweden for Military Protective Eyewear Systems (MPES) for a total validity period of seven (7) years. The contract was signed in June 2020 and initial product deliveries started to arrive in Sweden in August 2021. The MPES includes rigorous specifications and customization requirements to suit the needs of the Swedish Armed Forces – including ballistic eyewear, low profile goggles, full coverage goggles, universal prescription carrier and ballistic laser protective lenses to protect against a variety of laser hazards. Revision partnered with CRD Protection, a privately held Swedish company specializing in protective products, to pursue and secure a contract award with the FMV and assist with contract execution.

“Our team is thrilled to be partnered with the Swedish Armed Forces for their MPES contract”, said Revision CEO, Amy Coyne. “We believe that the FMV has taken a forward-thinking, holistic approach to eye protection, choosing a suite of products and accessories to cover the wide variety of threats their soldiers may face, including advanced laser protection which has proven to be an increasing threat around the globe. We are honored that the FMV chose Revision.”

Each product was customized to meet FMV requirements, including the national emblem of Sweden, the Three Crowns on the brow of each eyewear frame. The FMV chose three eyewear platforms for the contract along with the following accessories:

• Sawfly®R3 Eyewear System: the next generation of the battle-proven, legacy Sawfly eyewear, featuring upgraded temple arms to improve fit, comfort and retentions, and a revised brow design for improved helmet integration.

• Bullet Ant® Goggle System: a dual lens goggle system offering high-impact protection in a slim profile design.

5.11 Releases Call to Service: The Final Rescue of 9/11 Documentary Short Film

Thursday, September 9th, 2021

IRVINE, C.A., (September 9, 2021) – In honor of the 20 the anniversary of the September 11 the attacks, 5.11, Inc., the global leader in innovative, purpose-built apparel, footwear, and gear, has released the 12-minute documentary short film, Call to Service: The Final Rescue of 9/11. The film commemorates the stories of several New York first responders to arrive at the Twin Towers on 9/11, and also recounts the patriotism that supported, motivated and comforted them in the days, weeks and months ahead.

A preservation of oral history, the documentary short film shares the firsthand accounts from several members of the New York City Police Department and New York City Fire Department in explicit detail. The challenges, the fear, and the danger they faced on September 11, 2001 were unparalleled. Their innate desire to protect and serve, in combination with the national sense of camaraderie, fueled their charge to search for survivors.

The September 11th story of Patrick McGee, NYPD-ESU (Ret.) and Scott Strauss, NYPD-ESU (Ret.), were originally documented in the 2006 Paramount Pictures film World Trade Center. In 5.11’s Call to Service: The Final Rescue of 9/11, Strauss recounted, “The film was one of the few times Hollywood made something less intense than it was. There was no room to get out if we had to… I asked my kids to be good. I asked them to take care of mom. Make me proud. And I apologized for getting myself killed, as I crawled down this hole thinking I wasn’t going to get out.”

Strauss continued, “September 12th brought us the support we needed. The patriotism went on from September 12th for months – the entire country came together. It wasn’t just firefighters and police, there were civilians helping civilians get down those stairs.”

“These individuals truly embodied the preparedness and self-reliance we strive for as a brand,” said 5.11’s Chief Marketing Officer, Debra Radcliff. “Always Be Ready means more than just your gear – it’s your mental state and strength, your emotional stability and control; being able to remain calm when lives, including your own, are on the line. Their actions and words are inspiring, and we can all use their experiences to be motivated to live the spirit of 9/12 every day.”

“Our motivation for producing this documentary is to show our unwavering support for those who serve our communities and our nation,” said 5.11’s Chief Executive Officer, Francisco J. Morales. “Our focus as a brand has always been serving those who serve. This film is a tribute to honor and remember the law enforcement, fire, emergency services professionals and even the public who banded together to support one another in a time of crisis that our country will never forget.” In closing, Morales shared, “September 12 this now called Patriot Day for a reason – let us all remember the strength of humanity, our nation, and all those who serve and strive for the greater good.”

The short film documentary Call to Service, The Final Rescue of 9/11 is available for viewing now. Over the coming days, the full interviews with each of the participants will also become available for viewing.

DuPont CoreMatrix—The Most Advanced, Flexible Ballistic Solutions

Wednesday, September 8th, 2021

Every minute of every day, military personnel, law enforcement officers and security professionals around the world are putting their lives on the line to protect others. For these brave men and women, it’s just part of the job.

At DuPont, we believe that the brave deserve the best. We’re proud of our long history of helping to protect these everyday heroes and we are committed to providing new, innovative solutions as the threats they face continue to change and evolve.

That’s why we’ve added DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology to our family of protection solutions, which includes innovative products such as DuPont™ Kevlar® for ballistic vests and shields, and DuPont™ Tensylon® for hard armor applications.

DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology enables the lightest, most flexible ballistic solutions that meet National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards for enhanced durability. This globally patented technology, available exclusively from DuPont, uses needle punching technology to infuse fiber in the Z direction, creating a monolithic structure used in today’s most advanced body armor packages.

DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology disperses the impact energy 360 degrees, significantly enhancing ballistic performance compared to traditional woven structures that are stitched together and primarily disperse energy in the X and Y planes.

“By adding this third dimension of protection, DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology combined with DuPont fiber technologies provides unmatched strike face performance while delivering superior protection against edge shots, multi hits and fragment threats,” said Steven LaGanke, Global Defense Segment Leader, DuPont Water & Protection.

This superior ballistic performance allows for lighter weight solutions, which are more comfortable to wear. Hybrid package solutions made with DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology also offer increased flexibility and a softer feel against the body, further enhancing comfort.

“When it comes to choosing soft armor or bomb suits, the level of protection against ballistic threats always takes priority over the wearer’s comfort. After all, it could be a matter of life or death,” noted LaGanke. “With DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology, there are no tradeoffs required. That’s why we believe it is a paradigm shift in ballistic protection.”

In addition to enabling comfort without compromise for wearers, hybrid package solutions made with DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology mean ease of manufacturing. These hybrid fabric solutions are available in different layer counts and yarn deniers so there are fewer SKUs to keep in inventory and there is no need for layer counting or complex design. Manufacturing time is also significantly reduced because a simple “stack & tack” method is used, and no labor-intensive quilt stitching is required.

DuPont™ CoreMatrix™ Technology combined with DuPont fiber technologies opens a world of possibilities. It gives manufacturers greater design freedom than ever before to deliver the best, most flexible and lightest weight solutions available to protect those who put their lives on the line to protect others.
