Beyond Clothing Launches New Line with Direct-to-Consumer Model

Thursday, June 6th, 2019

Seattle-based manufacturer implements new steps to ensure affordable technical apparel

SEATTLE, Wash. (June 3, 2019) – Since 1996, Beyond Clothing has pioneered the most complete technical clothing system to support those heading into the harshest environments. Now, for the first time in the company’s history, Beyond Clothing will be offering their new Kyros clothing line exclusively through a direct to consumer sales model. The unrivaled knowledge and product testing that goes into their systems mean that their pieces are built to standards of uncompromising quality and integrity, and help ensure adventurers and explorers thrive in temperatures from -70oF to 106oF.

Beyond Clothing will be implementing a new direct to consumer sales model – by removing wholesale and middlemen dealers, the Kyros lines will be both accessible and incredibly affordable. Rick Elder, President of Beyond Clothing, shared: “Our overall goal is to provide the modern-day explorer with the knowledge, tools, and proper clothing to explore the wild and wonderful corners of the world. This direct-to-consumer strategy will allow us to focus on providing our valuable knowledge and proper expeditionary clothing at the most competitive price on the market.”

As the largest technical clothing manufacturer in the United States, Beyond Clothing has been renowned for their line of apparel cut and sewn in Seattle from the most advanced USA-made fabrics available. The new Kyros collection is the company’s first-ever imported product, designed with the same knowledge and experience gained through the company’s long history of outfitting professional expeditionary teams. These new imported products not only meet the standards and requirements that Beyond is known for, they also utilize technically advanced fabrics and styles that can work in the most remote mountains just as well as a city street anywhere on the planet.

Beyond Clothing will now be able to directly control the quality of experience that every customer receives as they browse and purchase the Kyros line. Beyond believes that everyone deserves to get outdoors without having the price of their gear be a barrier to access. With this in mind, Beyond Clothing encourages everyone to find the spirit of adventure within themselves and go farther.

Team Wendy Releases All-Terrain And Ballistic Mandibles

Wednesday, June 5th, 2019

New EXFIL® Ballistic / SL Accessories Provide Full-Face Protection

Cleveland-based Team Wendy®, which researches and develops high-quality headborne systems from the inside out, announced the launch of two new helmet accessories today: the EXFIL® All-Terrain Mandible and the EXFIL Ballistic Mandible. The mandibles attach tool-free to the EXFIL Ballistic and EXFIL Ballistic SL helmets fitted with either the EXFIL Rail 2.0 or EXFIL Rail 3.0 accessory mounting systems. Each mandible is designed to allow the operator to establish a cheek weld with his/her weapon, and when paired with the EXFIL Ballistic Visor, they provide full-face protection.

“The new EXFIL mandibles offer scalable, lightweight protection and attach quickly and easily to the helmet rail system, allowing the operator to be mission-ready in seconds,” said Team Wendy CEO Jose Rizo-Patron. “In designing this new ballistic helmet accessory, it was important for us to engineer a soft mandible option so that the operator can still deploy his or her weapon with ease and accuracy; this is critical for military and law enforcement.”

The EXFIL All-Terrain Mandible protects the face and ears against blunt impact and debris. Weighing 0.71 pounds (320 grams), it is composed of a vented nose piece, a VN vented foam insert, and a glass-reinforced polycarbonate and TPU frame. The outer cover is made of mesh and ultra-suede. The EXFIL All-Terrain Mandible meets blunt impact performance in accordance with Team Wendy impact test protocol TW-TP-1901 (10 and 14.1 ft/s NOCSAE drop, 150G max).

The EXFIL Ballistic Mandible shields the face and ears from fragmentation and blunt impact. Its ballistic coverage area is 72.03 square inches (464.70 square centimeters), and it meets a performance standard of 17gr V50 greater than or equal to 2,400 ft/s (731 m/s) and 9mm V0 greater than or equal to 1,400 ft/s (427 m/s). Like the all-terrain mandible, blunt impact performance is also in accordance with Team Wendy impact test protocol TW-TP-1901.

The ballistic mandible weighs 1.30 pounds (590 grams) and comes standard with two interchangeable nose pieces: a ballistic nose with a Cordura® and nylon/spandex cover and a non-ballistic, all-terrain nose with vents to allow additional airflow. The ballistic nose is made of a proprietary composite matrix, and the frame is glass-reinforced polycarbonate and TPU. The ballistic insert is composed of flexible ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fabrics in a nylon/TPU cover. The outer cover is made of Cordura and ultra-suede.

The EXFIL All-Terrain Mandible and EXFIL Ballistic Mandible retail at $265 and $492, respectively. They come in two sizes, size one and size two, corresponding to the operator’s EXFIL Ballistic or EXFIL Ballistic SL helmet size. Each is offered in four colors: Black, Coyote Brown, MultiCam® and Ranger Green. Both mandibles are now available for purchase on TeamWendy.com and through authorized Team Wendy dealers.
