STEYR, AUSTRIA (18.12.2023). The Swiss-Austrian brand CLAWGEAR® today announces the availability for purchase of its range of OPERATOR AND RAIDER battle dress uniform products. Designed specifically for military and law enforcement professionals, the product lines deliver state of the art technical textiles solutions and ergonomic design in a modern battle dress uniform.

“2023 was a somewhat challenging year for us and our customers” said CFO Christian Flixeder. “However, after a lot of hard work, our team has made a huge effort to get the products available before the winter holiday season begins.”

“All the new BDU products were designed from scratch using ergonomic shaping to maximize range of movement and material surface area. We also took this opportunity to consolidate our supply chain and vendor base to futureproof our growth added Business Unit Leader Stevie Malcolm. “This has allowed us to be ready to serve our dealers with not only the RAIDER & OPERATOR product lines today, but also to introduce new solutions that solve future problems for our users much faster.”

The new products will be available at CLAWGEAR® dealers and our own online store from 19 December 2023.

The Dread and Fear of Kings Launches Echelon Jacket

Tuesday, December 12th, 2023

Although just launching a few months ago, new products are already coming off the line for The Dread and Fear of Kings including the Echelon Jacket.

The DFK team ran me through a line review during last weekend’s Grand Opening of Scottsdale Tactical.

Just a quick note, the clothing and accessories do not include helmets or armor; the room we met in is located in Haley Strategic Partners which resembles a museum as much as a business.

Made in Italy, the Echelon jacket is inspired by the classic World War II Tanker Jacket with its stand up collar. It’s made from Loro Piana wool cashmere blend and lined with Italian silk.

It doesn’t ride up and hangs low enough to cover anything you’re carrying at your waistline. Additionally, the cuffs and collar are elasticized to keep warmth in.

In addition to two handwarmer pockets, the Echelon incorporates zippered bicep pockets as well as articulated and reinforced elbows.

I rarely do this but I’m sharing a photo of me wearing the Echelon Jacket. The fit is great and quite comfortable. I’m just as impressed with it as I am with the Envoy Jacket I already own, maybe even a bit more. For one thing, the Echelon’s Cashmere has a bit more stretch than the waxed canvas of the Envoy. It’s also a bit more understated while the Envoy gives off a bit of a tactical vibe.

I sent my wife that photo and she asked if it was a Louis Vuitton jacket. I replied that it was in fact DFK, but that she was right about it being made in Europe. But that doesn’t mean that this is a fashion brand. The quality is very high and it looks great, but inside the jacket there are some extras like pass-through zippers you won’t find off the rack at Saaks.

The product is exclusive with zero compromises. Across the line, materials originate in Europe or the US. The same with manufacture.

Some have complained about the company being tight lipped about their clothing and accessories but it’s by design. You contact them and they come to you for a showing and fitting.

If you’re still interested, you can check out The Dread and Fear of Kings’ offerings here. You’ll also see some details on IG @thedreadandfearofkings.

Monday, December 4th, 2023

A Top Tier, Hard-shell Jacket Featuring StormTek™ ePTFE Waterproof/Breathable Technology

This Fall/Winter 2023, PDW debuts their The Aegis LT. A state-of-the-art, fully seam taped, 3-layer, technical hard-shell jacket with hood, featuring their advanced, StormTek™ waterproof/breathable ePTFE laminate technology. Hitting a sweet spot with durability, abrasion resistance, weight and packability, this piece of outerwear will keep you protected from rain, wind, snow and anything in between. The Aegis LT is made with a 40D mini-ripstop nylon shell, cut for layering and designed for adventurers who like to be lighter and agile on their feet while uncompromising in the function, and useful and purpose driven design details. StormTek™ ePTFE technology is storm rated to 23,000mm waterproofness and a MTVR of 21,000g/m2, both at the top end of the highest performance range in 3-layer fabrics.

The Aegis LT will be available in Syth Black and Ranger Green.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“The Aegis LT represents one of our apexes in technical performance in outerwear. Our StormTek™ ePTFE technology is rated at 23,000mm waterproofness and a MTVR of 21,000g/m2, both at the very top end of technical performance specs in modern 3-layer textiles. These technical specs pushes the waterproof/breathable properties beyond most all soft-shells. The Aegis LT being what’s known as a ‘hard-shell’, provides the first and best line of defense against inclement weather without insulation or bulk, making this type of outerwear completely scalable for the user. Easy to stow in a pack and cut to easily fit over mid-layers like our Stratus Down Hoodie, this hard-shell can be worn in all weather and in all seasons, from tropical downpours to alpine whiteouts depending on the what the user chooses to wear with it. While we love soft-shells for their stretch and all-arounder capabilities, the Aegis LT is a dedicated outerwear style designed to protect the user from very stormy weather, without bulk, in all conditions, 365.”

The PDW Aegis LT is available now in sizes S to XXL for $429.00 via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
