Team Wendy Launches New Helmet Liner Raising The Bar On Comfort

Tuesday, December 17th, 2019

New CloudLine™ System Available for Review at SHOT Show in January

CLEVELAND, OH (Dec. 17, 2019) – Cleveland-based Team Wendy®, a leading provider of exceptional head protection systems, announced today the immediate availability of the CloudLine™ System, a new drop-in helmet liner designed for exceptional comfort while upholding the safety standards operators have come to expect from the brand.

The liner, named CloudLine™ for its unique comfort grade, features the softest Team Wendy patented Zorbium® foam to-date, used in strategically placed hexagon-shaped comfort pads designed to prevent hot spots while maintaining protection. Furthermore, the exceptionally comfortable liner is optimized for the widest range of ground combat helmets on the market. Previous Team Wendy drop-in liners were developed around specs of the standard ACH/ECH helmets, while CloudLine is designed to fit a broader range of helmets, including those used throughout special operations communities.

“This liner is designed to feel as comfortable and effortless as a baseball cap,” said Team Wendy CEO Jose Rizo-Patron. “The CloudLine System furthers Team Wendy’s position as the market leader in drop-in helmet systems, combining the best in comfort and protection with the ability to customize fit.”

The system includes:
• Three impact liner pads (front, crown, rear)
• Four thick hexagon-shaped Cloud pads
• Seven soft comfort pads in various shapes and sizes
• Ten Velcro® brand hook disks

CloudLine retails for $109.99 and is available for purchase on TeamWendy.com and through authorized Team Wendy dealers.

CloudLine exceeds ACH blunt impact requirements (AR/PD 10-02) and is compatible with nearly all standard ground combat helmets, though some models may also require a CAM FIT™ Retention System retrofit in order for the CloudLine System to fit properly.

Attendees of the upcoming SHOT Show convention in Las Vegas will be among the first to experience the new liner. The trade show, running from Jan. 21 through Jan. 24 at the Sands Expo Center, draws more than 60,000 people each year across a myriad of communities, including military, law enforcement and SAR professionals.

Media and patrons are invited to try out the CloudLine system. Team Wendy will be located at booth 8311 on level one.

Kevin “KD” Dixie Joins Propper as Brand Ambassador

Monday, December 16th, 2019

St Charles, MO – Propper International is proud to announce Kevin Dixie, owner of No Other Choice (NOC) Firearms Training and community advocate, as our newest Brand Ambassador.

Kevin’s positive influence has grown exponentially over the past several years as he nurtured his national “Aiming for the Truth” program (recently awarded non-profit status) that reaches out to families throughout the country to educate them on how gun rights can benefit the African-American community, with an emphasis on having “no other choice” before employing a firearm in self-defense.

“Being an instructor is more than teaching people about protecting their lives,” Kevin said. “It’s also about teaching them to value themselves. I’m happy to be aligned with Propper, a brand that believes in people the way that I do.”

Prior to founding NOC, Kevin spent 10 years working in Prisoner Processing for the City of St. Louis Police Department.

“Kevin’s passion for educating people is inspirational,” said John Negrau, VP of Marketing & E-Commerce for Propper. “He has worked with Propper as a sponsored shooter for the past three years and we are excited to expand our relationship and have him aboard as a Brand Ambassador.”

In addition to his own video channel, Kevin has appeared on NRA TV, front and center on the cover of Time magazine, on a wide assortment of other industry video channels, and was recently a featured speaker at a pro-gun rights rally on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

SCUBAPRO Sunday – All Black Masks

Sunday, December 15th, 2019

For the past couple of years, SCUBAPRO has been working hard to have more user-friendly products for the military. SCUBAPRO has always been actively involved with the military especial since one of the founders of the company was a former UDT man in Korea. But we have renewed our commitment to making sure the military gets the best gear posable. Starting with some little things, like adding holes to the classic SCUBAPRO Jet Fins. We have two lines of Jet fins; one now comes with a hole in the blade to help you carry them when coming out of the water or on the back of your gear. The Jet Fins are still a favorite for combat swimmers around the world and have been for over 50 years. So, what else can you do to help update one of the most popular fins in the world? Well, you work with one of the best tactical gear companies to adapt one of their products to work with yours. The MATBOCK Skins are a multi-layer adhesive/fabric laminate designed to give the user the ability to camouflage any surface desired. The Skins are waterproof and oil resistant and can be reused multiple times. The skins are available for the SEAWING Nova’s and the Jet fins. They come in two colors Muti-Cam and International Orange. The Skins can be used for OTB, combat swimmer operations, and adding the Orange if it will help you be seen on SAR missions.

We have added a new subdued color to some of the best masks we have and also updated some to use our comfort strap system and Odin helmet strap system. The masks that have the new colors are the Spectra, Zoom, Synergy Twin Trufit, and the Flux Twin. All of these masks are also HUD compatible. You can now choose to use a comfort strap with it, and it can come with a HUD mount built into the mask.

The dual-lens Spectra offers a broad view and comfortable water-blocking seal. Its low volume design makes it is excellent for combat swimmers; this also allows for effortless clearing and provides maximum field of view. Ultra-Clear lenses are made from tempered glass for safety and long- term durability.  Universal skirt design is very comfortable and fits a variety of face shapes. Unique nose pocket design makes easy work of equalizing.

The Zoom is another low volume dual-lens mask that is ideal for all divers but, is especially well-suited to divers who use optical lenses. The mask has an innovative lens-change system that enables you to switch lenses yourself, without tools, in less than a minute. The mask also has an optional HUD hands-free dive computer mount adapter that attaches directly to the mask.

The Flux Twin is a low-volume dual-lens mask that comes with a robust and impact-resistant polycarbonate frame to withstand a lot of use and abuse. It is a little smaller than the Spectra. The hypoallergenic, silicone skirt features a double-feathered edge to provide a comfortable, watertight seal on a variety of face shapes.

The Synergy Twin benefits from SCUBAPRO’s second-generation Trufit technology. Unlike its predecessor, which featured a skirt made with uniformly thin silicone, the Synergy Twin Trufit features a skirt made of two thicknesses of silicone – thin and pliable where it touches the face for comfort and to ensure a watertight seal, and thicker near the mask frame for support and rigidity. It’s a compelling combination that delivers a comfortable fit for a wide range of face shapes as well as a reliable seal against water intrusion.

SCUBAPRO is always trying to innovate for the working divers and set the standard for new gear. The latest features for the Frameless/ Frameless Gorilla mask are the addition of the comfort strap adapter. They can be added onto existing masks, and this allows the user to add several new features to one of the most iconic masks ever made. We have new accessories for the classic Frameless mask. The latest version of the Frameless that is available with an integrated HUD Arm that allows you to mount the SCUBAPRO HUD hands-free dive compute.

You can also convert the Frameless with quick clip adapters so you can use the comfort straps and even the Odin Helmet Straps. Again, SCUBAPRO has partnered with a leader in the Tactical Gear Industry. Ops-Core is the primer brand when it comes to helmet innovation. The Odin system allows any mask with quick clips to be attached to any helmet that has the Ops-Core ARC rail systems. The Odin straps are perfect for any time you have to wear a helmet when diving or in the water. Like diving a DPV, Wearing Jet-boots, Search and Rescue Operations or working in Fast Moving Water. The Comfort Strap is similar to a ski goggle strap in design. It clips right into the mask buckle adapter and offers a wide adjustment range. It also is a lot less likely to break mid-dive as it is a nylon strap and not rubber or silicone. The adapter also makes the mask non-magnetic for EOD use, as it removes all metal parts.

Frameless with quick-release buckles QR kit PN 24.340.039

The SCUBAPRO Odin Helmet strap system features two mask straps fitted with the Ops-Core goggle swivel clip and shoe rail adapters. It will fit all Ops-Core helmets, or any helmet equipped with an ARC rail. It will fit any SCUBAPRO mask that has quick clips. Odin Helmet straps (part number 24.815.100)
