Amabilis Introduces the .5 Fit

Tuesday, December 5th, 2017

Amabalis is currently running a Kickstarter campaign offering First Responder clothing, for both men and women. During this campaign, it’s a Hoody and Softshell. They are definitely full featured garments, but what makes them stand apart from others in this space is the .5 fit. Essentially, Amabilis has dealt the issue that many of us have of falling between standard sizing by introducing half sizes. Offered in both Men’s and Women’s sizing, the actual size is determined by measuring chest, waist, hips and sleeve length and these additional sizes will help with optimal fit.

I’ve had the opportunity to check out both garments and I like them. The Softshell integrates laser cut PALS webbing, although I had no use for it during the short evaluation period However, there are some very convenient pockets with magnetic closures on the chest. I also think the softshell has a rally motorcycle jacket vibe. Finally, I like the shoulder caps which are also common the the Hoody.

The Hoody is super comfy. The stretch panels are right where the need to be and I like the oversized snaps at the front opening. As I mentioned before, the abrasion resistant shoulder caps are a welcome addition.

If that wasn’t enough, the garments are guaranteed for life.

215 Gear – Hand Warmer, Extreme Cold Weather

Friday, December 1st, 2017

16042EB5-5BE3-452B-A19C-594F3646822D

Our Hand Warmer, Extreme Cold Weather was designed to be a lightweight, way to keep your hands extremely warm, in adverse weather. The outer shell is 500 Denier CORDURA®. The inner lining is our custom 15oz Polartec® Power Stretch® with smooth nylon finish. This finish prevents the typical “fur” associated with fleece attracting and retaining dirt and debris from your gloves, keeping the inside cleaner than other liners. We have added over a half inch of Thinsulate® synthetic insulated layer to our hand warmers to retain as much heat as possible in extreme cold weather. We have dramatically increased the circumference of the hand warmer to allow for thicker gloved hands to easily fit. Cuffs are adjusted via an internal cordloc. The waist strap allows for wearing with or without kit, while the zippered opening pocket with silent pulls allows for chemical hand warmer storage. With the updated version 2, the hand warmer can also be worn by mounting to MOLLE webbing on your armor carrier with quick release hardware. Made with high quality Mil-Spec materials.

Made in the U.S.A/ Berry Compliant/ Lifetime Warranty

Product total weight 16 oz.

Color Options: Alpine White, MultiCam and Coyote

UF PRO Launches The AcE Combat Shirt

Wednesday, November 29th, 2017

UF PRO® AcE Winter Combat Shirt Coming Soon; Optimal Warmth Lets Wearer Focus on Mission, Not on How Cold the Weather Is

The AcE Winter Combat Shirt uses high-tech materials in a special hybrid design
structure to supply the right amount of warmth for the upper half of the body in
low-temperature environments.

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (29 Nov. 2017) – UF PRO®, maker of innovative clothing for military and law enforcement personnel, today announced it will begin selling a frigid-weather combat shirt offering optimal upper body warmth and dryness.

2B6FED27-ADB8-406C-8B1F-02C172C57A22

Called the AcE Winter Combat Shirt, the new product is meant to supply comfort enough to allow wearers to stay focused on the mission and not be distracted by the cold climate, UF PRO said.

The AcE Winter Combat Shirt soon will be available at the UF PRO online shop and at its brick-and-mortar retail counterpart in Trzin, the company revealed.

UF PRO added that it will send via email to subscribers of its e-newsletter an alert announcing the exact date of initial availability.

“Our newsletter subscribers will be the first to know,” UF PRO head of product development Armin Wagner assured.

Ideal Cold-Weather Wear Wagner hailed the AcE Winter Combat Shirt as the ideal piece of tactical wear for cold weather.

“It eliminates the problem of layering up to keep out the cold, only to then overheat, start sweating, and cause the shirt to become frozen,” Wagner explained.

Constructed with a windproof and water-repellent outer layer, the AcE Winter Combat Shirt achieves ideal interior temperatures with the help of a special high-performance, lightweight, and breathable thermal lining, he said.

“Importantly, the AcE Winter Combat Shirt is designed to expel sweat so the wearer feels dry at all times,” Wagner added.

The shirt’s superior comfort is due in part to air/pac® inserts fabricated into the shoulder and upper back. The air/pac inserts serve another purpose – according to Wagner, closing the supplied ventilation openings will cause air to become trapped, which then provides an extra source of insulation.

Wear It Alone or with Other Items
The AcE Winter Combat Shirt can be worn alone or with other gear, such as a hard-shell jacket, an additional thermal jacket, body armour, or a backpack, Wagner indicated.

“An angled front zipper improves its compatibility with additional layers,” said Wagner. “You can also add 8mm-thick air/pac mesh inserts to help distribute the weight of body armour or a heavy backpack.”

Meanwhile, front and side zippers control the flow of air between insulation layers and regulate how much of that flow directly traverses the wearer’s abdomen and back, he said.

Another valuable feature is openings in the shirt’s wrist-warmers. “They let you easily check your watch,” he relayed. “Also, there’s a collar adjuster to prevent blowing snow from finding its way down the shirt.”

Because elbows invariably are subjected to the harshest abuse in the field, UF PRO crafted that area of the shirt with Cordura® reinforcement.”This makes the elbows exceptionally durable,”Wagner said.

As for colour choices, Wagner reported that the AcE Winter Combat Shirt will be available in Frost-Grey, Black, Brown-Grey, and MultiCam.
