UF PRO Now Offering Its All-Round Weather-Protective Hunter FZ Gen.2 Tactical Jacket in Improved MultiCam Fabric

Wednesday, December 30th, 2020

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (29 Dec. 2020)—UF PRO today announced it has begun making its popular lightweight Hunter FZ Gen.2 tactical jacket in an improved MultiCam fabric designed to help wearers stay warmer in low temperatures and be better protected against inclement weather.

The move represents an expansion of the UF PRO MultiCam Low-Temperature Line, which currently includes Multicam versions of the company’s Delta OL 3.0 Tactical Winter Jacket, Delta AcE Plus Gen.2 Tactical Winter Jacket, and AcE Winter Combat Shirt.

According to Armin Wagner, head of UF PRO product development, the company began offering its Hunter FZ Gen.2 MultiCam garment today.

The newly improved MultiCam fabric is a laminate formed from a 100-percent polyamide face material layered atop a membrane made of polyurethane, Wagner explained.

“This is the softest MultiCam material yet, so it emits less noise as the wearer moves about,” he said. “It’s also fully windproof and extremely water-repellent, which affords the wearer protection in weather ranging from light rain to high winds.

Wagner noted that the improved fabric exhibits an impressively high sheer-strength thanks to a special ripstop weaving technique used in producing the face layer.

“Wearers will be very pleased by its abrasion resistance,” he said. “It holds up exceptionally well, even after being continuously rubbed against by backpacks, plate carriers, and other gear.”

The improved MultiCam fabric is a perfect fit for the Hunter FZ Gen.2 Tactical Jacket, which is favored among military and law-enforcement operators for its comfort-enhancing features, such as mesh side-panels that provide cooling ventilation to prevent overheating and a 37.5™ microfleece lining that helps keep the inside of the garment dry by very efficiently dissipating sweat.

“The jacket is also a favorite because it folds up compactly for easy stowing inside a backpack,” Wagner added.

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Rash Guards and UPF  

Sunday, December 27th, 2020

Rash guards were initially made to help prevent chafing on your skin against a surfboard, but it slowly made its way into almost every water sport. On land, rash guards can be used for everything from underbody armor (if worn under armor, make sure it is fire retardant none of SCUABRPOs rash guards meet the FR standards) mix martial arts to looking cool in the gym. (I can’t pull that last one-off, and to be honest, I would want to). Rash guards serve a couple of purposes in the water; they help make donning and doffing your wetsuit easier. They help protect you from the cold and sea life. Depending on the type/kind you use and how it’s made, it will help you keep warm, protect you from the sun, and, if made with some type of compression, it can help with craps and overall fatigue. DFND USA compression clothing provides medical-grade compress that adds in recovery and enables you to warm up faster. It is also great for long flights.

The SCUBAPRO UPF Collection Rash Guards are designed for diving but are suitable for other water sports. The long sleeve rash guards are made from high-quality polyester fabric, are form-fitting, comfortable, and dry quickly. They also provide UPF 50 UV protection, which puts them in the excellent UV protection category.  

The UPF 50 rating blocks 98% of UV radiation. Polyester is comfortable and abrasion-resistant, and it does an excellent job of retaining its shape after repeated use. A high neckline prevents uncomfortable chafing. The material dries quickly to enhance comfort between dives. If you want to add some thermal protection, not much can beat neoprene.

SCUBAPROs Everflex 1.5mm neoprene Rash Guards keep you warm while protecting you from scrapes and stings. The high-tech materials ideal for tropical diving, snorkeling, or pool training, these thermal tops are made with a special water-repellent, high-stretch Everflex neoprene on the outside and a combination of fleece and plush on the inside. They offer warmth, comfort, and lots of range of motion, plus they dry quickly and are great for layering. There are two styles of rash guards, tight and loose.

Neoprene is lightweight, durable, water-repellant, and a highly efficient insulator for heat retention. They are assembled using solvent-free glue, a 100% green process. High-tech plush and fleece lining reduces water flow and provides both comfort and extra warmth. Design helps block water intrusion to reduce convection. This design can also help keep you warm on the surface.  High-stretch neoprene is easy to don and doff and offers an excellent range of motion. They are designed to be worn by themselves, or you can use them as a base layer.

Crye Precision Announces New G4 Female Fit Uniforms

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2020

Brooklyn, NY – December 22, 2020 – Crye Precision®, one of the leading suppliers of uniforms and personal equipment to the military, law enforcement and public safety markets, has announced the release of their new G4 Female Fit line.

Women throughout history have been striving for acceptance in traditionally male roles. Today, the number of brave women in combat roles and tactical law enforcement positions continues to rise, and with that comes the need for apparel suited to meet their specific demands and body types. For years, the traditional combat uniform has catered to the male form – with longer leg inseams, narrower hip shaping and broad chest and shoulder width, compromising a female’s comfort and performance alongside her male counterparts. The Crye Precision® G4 Female Fit line’s goal was to address these issues to afford women the same level of performance, comfort, and mobility afforded a male.

The Crye Precision® design team met extensively with women serving in the military and law enforcement to better understand their needs. Each in-depth interview consisted of understanding operational needs, reviewing currently issued uniforms, taking a wide range of measurements and documenting the wearers’ requests. Based on the end-user feedback and size evaluations, the adjusted uniforms increase comfort, mobility and functionality for a woman’s fit. The result is a female-specific uniform that is unmatched in the industry.

In addition to conversations with women serving in the military and law enforcement, the design team also took an in-depth look into the lives of female civilians who require cutting-edge technology and performance in other arenas. From shooting sports to advanced carbine training, the G4 Female Fit line is designed to work for the women who take their range time seriously and require top-tier range apparel.

The G4 Female Fit Line features the same innovative qualities and custom stretch VTX RIPSTOP™ fabric as the standard G4 line with a design that is specifically patterned to fit our female customers. The Combat & Field Shirts feature sleeves with a reduced circumference and raised armholes for enhanced mobility and a more ergonomic female fit, with bust shaping and minimized shoulder width providing a slimmer profile. The reduced neck opening, and collar height were designed for a female form without compromising function. The Combat & Field Pants feature dedicated shaping around the hips to allow for a slimmer cut with maximum mobility. Reduced fly/zipper height and length, front and back rise and inseam lengths provide a more tailored fit throughout. 

“Women’s roles in the military and law enforcement have continued to evolve,” stated Crye Precision® Marketing Director, Ernesto Rodriguez. “Their jobs require that they perform at the best of their ability at all times. Our new G4 Female Fit series of uniforms are a direct result of listening to specific user needs and building designs around them, from the fabric to each feature and detail. We’re honored to supply those who put themselves on the line to keep the rest of us safe, and we’re proud to be making all of our products right here in the USA.”

The G4 Female Fit Uniforms are available December 22nd, through the Crye Precision® website, www.cryeprecision.com, and will be initially made in MultiCam® Pattern. As always, contact Crye Precision® for any customizations to orders.
