Carinthia Introduces Combat Clothing

Wednesday, March 9th, 2022

Granted, I saw a lot of cool things at Enforce Tac and IWA, but this is one of the most surprising, and most welcome. In what is an obvious evolution of Carinthia’s successful line of outdoor and tactical clothing.

May I introduce Carinthia Combat Clothing. Carinthia told me that the uniforms were developed in cooperation with special operations forces and have already seen operational use. The line consists of four pieces:

Carinthia Combat Shirt -> CCS 

Carinthia Combat Trousers -> CCT 

Carinthia Combat Jacket-> CCJ 

Carinthia Combat Hood-> CCH

Manufactured from fast drying material, they will also be offered in flame retardant and/or equipped with vector protection. There are slots for both elbow and knee pads which will accept many currently available as well Carinthia’s new pads developed in conjunction with Komperdell.

They will be offered in three colors: MultiCam Pattern, 5 color Flecktarn, and Olive Green.

Coming autumn/winter 2022 from www.carinthia.eu.

IWA 22 – Durabo

Saturday, March 5th, 2022

Durabo is a Polish company that specializes in work and casual wear with military design cues like this Super 65 Field Jacket they launched awhile back. They also use Cordura fabrics in their clothing.

At IWA they gave is a sneak peek of their upcoming Combat Uniform.

It’s an interesting design with more of a field or Recce-style jacket than a combat shirt. As you can see, they anticipate use of Crye Precision knee pads.

Massif Launches First Responder Collection

Thursday, March 3rd, 2022

Massif started out by providing FR garments for in Search and Rescue (SAR) crews. From this, select military aircrews adopted Massif FR clothing to withstand cold and wet environmental conditions. When service members began to face flame related threats due to Improvised Explosive Devices, the Department of Defense turned to Massif.

Massif has taken their flight-ready apparel for HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Management Services) and LE (Law Enforcement) personnel, to create a dedicated new First Responder Collection in true navy-blue colorway.

The collection is built around some of Massif’s legacy garments; the revolutionary 2-Piece Flight Suit with Lightweight and Midweight Inversion base layers along with the Elements Jacket.

Massif is well known for creating some of their own FR fabrics which meet ASTM D6413-F2302 performance specification for flame resistance. The garments have also been certified as Safe To Fly by the US Air Force.

A full range of sizing is available to support uniform programs, from XS-3XL.
