We had to take this down a few weeks ago due to political considerations. Now, the Dutch government has made the announcement official.
Rumor has it that The Dutch SF will be wearing a new MultiCam uniform designed by NFM Group and made from TenCate Defender-M fabric. Ironically, this is the first time that Dutch uniforms will incorporate this FR fabric from Netherlands-based company TenCate. COBBS Industries will supply the Combat Clothing which includes Smock, Combat Pants and Combat Shirt.
Thanks to the guys at DriFire, I had a chance to check out a new line of clothing made from American wool. Look for more on this exciting brand soon.
The benefits of wool are well known; warm even when wet, naturally anti-microbial and no-melt no-drip. Plus, in this case, it’s grown, processed and manufactured right here in the USA.
The little brother of the AO Elite line combat shirt, the UBAX Gen3 features a basic cut while retaining all the advanced features of the Elite shirt. The MultiCam sleeves are made from non-FR, Poly/Cotton fabric, while the TAN499 torso is made from FR material. The ergonomic mandarin style collar is Jersey lined for optimal comfort when wearing a plate carrier or vest. Both arms feature a full Velcro harmonica pocket with pen/chemlight holders integrated into the pocket flaps, and two internal zipper pockets for smaller items. The cuffs are Velcro adjustable. The UBAX is also compatible with d3o Labs’ Impact Resistant P5 elbow pads. It will be available in sizes Sm-XXL.
Available for pre-order with an April 2014 release. Use code advancedpreorder for a 10% discount.
