DSEi 21 – Brigantes “On The Man”

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2021

This wedge at the front of the Brigantes booth demonstrated a breadth of soldier systems capabilities offers by Brigantes and was used extensively to walk DSEi visitors through a variety of options.

Manikins were set up for Mountain & Arctic Warfare as well as Jungle and Temeprate zones.

The fabrics are from Milliken and include Milliken TactX Stretch fabric in Multicam which is a durable base fabric for performance finishes and Milliken’s best-in-class printing and shade matching.

It is a lightweight 98% plain weave nylon with 2% spandex with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. The elasticity of the fabric allows the wearer freedom of movement and gives more allowance in the action areas of the garment. The nylon face fabric offers great durability to the wearer who would be very often carrying and equipped with a heavy back pack and/or body armor plus the wearer will probably be carrying a weapon utilizing a harness/strap.

Additionally, it is highly breathable whilst at the same time providing a degree of weather protection. The garment can be used as part of a layering system or can be used as a stand-alone depending on the weather conditions. It’s a very tactile fabric and extremely pleasing and comfortable to wear.

GoRuck Partners with Polartec to Release the Task Force Dagger Jacket

Friday, September 10th, 2021

Stemming from a strong military background, the GORUCK Task Force Dagger Jacket pays homage to the jackets that were worn by the 5th Special Forces Group 20 years ago, and even uses the same Polartec 300 weight fleece. With a more streamlined, modernized design, the Task Force Dagger Jacket finds its place in both mountainous terrain and city streets.

In 1981, Polartec changed the game for cold weather performance apparel with the invention of synthetic fleece. Since then, the brand has enjoyed a long relationship with the US Military, even supplying the foundation of today’s GEN III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (E.C.W.C.S.).

The Polartec® 300 Series Fleece used for the Task Force Dagger Jacket is a made in the USA, 100% recycled, double velour fleece with a non-PFAS durable water repellent (DWR) treatment to shed rain and snow. As the most premium classic fleece on the market, and with greater resiliency, lightweight warmth and fast dry times, it remains the industry standard for performance outerwear.

Available now, please find additional information on Polartec and GORUCK here, and shop the Task Force Dagger Jacket here.
