Monday, February 9th, 2026

KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (05.02.2025)

At SHOT Show 2026, UF PRO, part of the Mehler Systems Group and a leader in premium tactical clothing, presented its latest developments across the tactical clothing portfolio. The event offered visitors insight into both newly released products and upcoming additions planned for 2026.

The showcase included several key autumn releases, among them the Hunter FZ Gen.3 Tactical Softshell Jacket, the Delta ML Gen.3 Tactical Winter Jacket, and the P-40 All-Terrain Gen.3 Tactical Pants. The Hunter FZ Gen.3 Tactical Softshell Jacket is designed as a versatile softshell layer for dynamic use in variable weather, balancing wind resistance, breathability, and freedom of movement. The Delta ML Gen.3 Tactical Winter Jacket addresses cold-weather operations, combining thermal insulation with a design that supports mobility and efficient layering. The P-40 All-Terrain Gen.3 Tactical Pants are built for use across mixed terrain, focusing on durability in high-wear areas, unrestricted movement, and comfort during prolonged wear. Together, these products reflect UF PRO’s continued focus on functional design, durability, and consistent performance across changing operational conditions.

For the first time in the U.S., UF PRO also presented the Striker TT BDU in Navy Blue, alongside a broader selection of combat uniforms, weather-protection layers, and everyday tactical clothing.

In addition to current releases, UF PRO provided an early look at upcoming developments scheduled for 2026. Selected products will become available in Woodland / M81 camouflage, expanding options for units operating in forested terrain. Visitors were also introduced to a new generation of classic tactical pants, developed with an emphasis on everyday reliability, unrestricted mobility, and comfort across a wide temperature range, as well as a new short-sleeve tactical shirt designed for warm-weather patrols, training, and everyday base activities.

SHOT Show 2026 once again provided an important opportunity for direct exchange with military, law enforcement, and industry professionals in the U.S., while strengthening connections with the local professional community.

Tomahawk Performance Releases Instructor Jacket Lo-Pro, Announces New Stock and Colorways

Friday, February 6th, 2026

Nashville, TN – February, 2026 – Tomahawk Performance has announced the release of the Instructor Jacket Lo-Pro, a low-profile evolution of its previously released Instructor Jacket, along with new inventory availability and expanded color options for the latter.

The Instructor Jacket was developed as a tough, insulated outer layer designed for training and operational environments where warmth, weather protection, and durability were the priority. Building on the success of this program, the Instructor Jacket Lo-Pro was designed for professionals operating in environments where blending into the crowd is critical and overt equipment can be a liability.

The Lo-Pro maintains the protective performance expected of the Instructor Jacket while reducing visual signature and bulk. Its streamlined design emphasizes a subdued appearance and enhanced comfort in cold weather.

Designed for extended days in colder temperatures, the Lo-Pro provides effective insulation and wind protection without drawing attention. During dynamic activity, the jacket is engineered to vent heat efficiently while minimizing moisture buildup. A durable stretch-woven face fabric allows the jacket to withstand repeated wear and abrasion associated with hard use.

Features include a dropped back hem with routed drawcords for added coverage, tapered insulation for wear under a duty belt, a full-zip front with weather backflap, zippered bicep pockets with integrated stash pockets, zippered hand-warmer pockets, and an internal zippered stash pocket.

The Instructor Jacket Lo-Pro features an American athletic fit and is constructed using a 70/40D nylon spandex four-way stretch shell (321 GSM) with a DWR finish. Insulation is provided by Primaloft® Gold Active+ (60 GSM), paired with a lightweight 20D four-way stretch nylon lining (53GSM) engineered to wick moisture away from the body.

Tomahawk Performance also announced new stock availability for the original Instructor Jacket, now offered in expanded colorways including Black, Urban Gray, and Ranger Green.

The Instructor Jacket Lo-Pro is available now through Tomahawk Performance and authorized dealers.

An extra-light top panel improves heat dissipation, preventing hot spots during sustained activity. The reinforced cuff is built to stay locked in place, eliminating sagging or bunching inside footwear.

SHOT Show 26 – DFND Tahoe Wool Mesh Baselayer

Monday, February 2nd, 2026

We’ve mentioned DFND’s Tahoe Wool Mesh Baselayer in the past but it’s starting to gain traction.

Mesh baselayers have long been used in the Nordic countries but haven’t caught on in the US. However, as US troops work more with our NATO allies on the Northern Front, they have been exposed to this time tested technology.

DFND has invested in the ability to manufacture these garments in the US so, combined with US sourced wool, we now have a Berry compliant supply chain. The top and bottom are seamless for comfort and offered in sizes Small – XXLarge in Black and Coyote.

Introducing the LA Police Gear Atlas Combat Line

Friday, January 30th, 2026

When the LA Police Gear team set out to create a pant that could rival top-tier tactical pants and combat pants, we knew we needed to push the boundaries. These combat pants had to excel in quality, fabric choice, functionality, comfort, and long-lasting durability. Years of development, countless samples, rigorous testing, feedback from wear tests, and numerous iterations have resulted in our finest product yet at LAPG. We’ve achieved all this while keeping the cost affordable. Introducing the ACP, our Atlas Combat Pants. Let’s explore what makes these pants exceptional.

Cordura NYCO Extreme Ripstop Fabric

We started by selecting the finest Cordura NYCO Extreme Ripstop Stretch fabric. Comprising 48% Cotton, 50% Cordura, and 2% Spandex with a 170 GSM weight, this fabric is engineered to perform exceptionally in demanding environments. Despite being lightweight and highly breathable at 170 GSM, the fabric retains incredible strength and durability. The added stretch factor enhances comfort, making it truly deserving of a premium label.

D3O Knee Protection System

Included in the price is the D3O knee protection system, featuring both an internal impact-resistant knee pad and an external abrasion and puncture-resistant outer cap. The internal P10 knee pad is soft, flexible, and provides outstanding impact protection while being low-profile and comfortable. It reduces transmitted force by 50% and is 50% thinner for enhanced mobility. The P12 Rubber Outer Cap meets puncture, flammability, and abrasion standards, remaining thin, flexible, and lightweight. Together, they deliver unparalleled knee protection. Unlike other brands that charge significantly for similar knee pads, the ACP Combat Pants include them as standard.

Our knee pad system and pocket design are extremely modular. All knee pads are fully detachable, allowing you to customize based on your needs. Without the outer cap, the pants maintain a sleek, low-profile look at the knees. We incorporated Cordura Oxford Fabric, made entirely of nylon, around the knee pads for extra durability and comfort. Additionally, we added a nylon/spandex stretch panel around the knee to enhance mobility and comfort for the entire leg area.

Athletic Regular Fit

Drawing from decades of customer feedback, we crafted a fit that perfectly balances comfort and freedom of movement while maintaining a neat, straight appearance that avoids a baggy look.

Pairs with Our ACS – Stretch Combat Shirt

The ACP and ACS are designed to complement each other flawlessly, both featuring the same outstanding Cordura NYCO Extreme Stretch Ripstop fabric. This ensures a seamless color and fabric match, making them ideal for a cohesive uniform. Explore the ACS Shirt here.

Pockets & Features

The ACP includes every feature you might want in a full-featured combat pant, including 14 specialized pockets. Additional elements include premium YKK hardware, reinforced stitching, and bartacks to withstand stress in key areas. Stretch panels in the gusset, rear yoke, and knee pads provide extra comfort and mobility.

The waist is highly adjustable, featuring a hook and loop main closure with two hook and loop adjustment straps for the perfect fit. We also included knee adjustment straps to position and secure your knee pad system effectively.
