UF PRO Introduces P-40 All-Terrain Gen.2 Tactical Pants—Heavy Duty All-’Rounders Offer Extreme Performance, Comfort

Thursday, July 16th, 2020

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (15 July 2020)—UF PRO today announced it will bring to market on 28 July a fully updated version of its popular tactical pants. The new model—known as the P-40 All-Terrain Gen.2—incorporates innovative design elements that give wearers better fit plus enhanced freedom of movement as well as superior comfort and extreme durability coupled with greater functionality.

“We are very confident that the tactical community for whom the P-40 All-Terrain Gen.2 Tactical Pants were created will make them their go-to heavy duty all-’rounders for every-day use,” said Armin Wagner, head of UF PRO product development.

“We built these tactical pants for use in any terrain and for any activity,” he added.

The P-40 All-Terrain Gen.2 Tactical Pants make use of larger stretch panels built out of schoeller®-dynamic stretch material. These panels, in concert with a unique anatomic cut, allow wearers to move without restrictions and interference from the pants, Wagner said.

“The amount of freedom of movement these pants provide and how incredibly well the stretch panels retain their elasticity over the course of time is the reason we opted to employ schoeller®-dynamic stretch material,” added Wagner.

The stretch panels and the special anatomic cut also work synergistically to boost the level of comfort wearers experience, Wagner noted.

During cold weather wearers can take advantage of the option to add a WINDSTOPPER® liner. Wagner indicated that the liner, which easily zips into place, provides warmth and is 100% windproof even in subzero temperatures.

Carried forward from the first generation of P-40s is the modular knee protection. “The pants’ construction at the knees has been improved to make it more comfortable to wear and benefit from our UF PRO modular pads for extreme cushioning or protection or both,” Wagner said. “Also, the pockets into which the pads are inserted have been redesigned to ensure that the pads stay even more securely in place while the wearer is running or jumping or has the pockets fully opened for extra ventilation.”

According to Wagner, other key features of the upgraded tactical pants include:

Nine high-function pockets. Two are dual-access side pockets offering large storage capacity, special inner compartments, and an attached CORDURA®-reinforced gear pocket with security flap. Among the remaining pockets—all constructed with CORDURA® reinforcement—are those designed to firmly hold a variety of essential items such as phones, knives, pens, small electronics, and extra magazines.

 

Improved durability. The seams have been made even sturdier thanks to use of a different manufacturing technique. The result is less vulnerability to snagging on tree branches, metal barbs, and other pointy, protruding objects which wearers might brush up against.

 

Added functionality. The pants come configured with hooks along the bottom of the legs for attachment to the shoelaces of the wearer’s boots. Their purpose is to prevent the pant legs from riding up as the wearer walks, runs, or sits. The pants also feature CORDURA®-reinforced double loops along the waist to enable the wearer’s belt to carry a duty belt. Moreover, the width of the lower leg can be adjusted to suit wearer preferences.

 

Wagner said the base material used in constructing the upgraded pants is a Ripstop fabric blend of—67-percent polyester and 33-percent cotton.  

The P-40 All-Terrain Gen.2 Tactical Pants will retail at €152 each. Available colours are Kangaroo, Black, Navy Blue, Coyote Brown, Brown Grey, and Steel Grey.

 

UF PRO makes advanced-technology jackets, shirts, pants, hats, caps, and accessories for military and law-enforcement units in Europe and worldwide.

Fort Knox First Post to Issue Army’s New World War II-style Dress Uniforms

Wednesday, July 15th, 2020

FORT KNOX, Ky. — A line formed inside the Fort Knox Military Clothing Sales store July 8 as several recruiting students anticipated being the first to be issued the Army’s newest uniform — the Army Green Service Uniform.

Considered a nostalgic nod to the greatest generation — who fought in World War II — the green and beige uniform has caused strong reactions in civilians and Soldiers alike.

“This is kind of cool, especially for these students, because they’re going to be the face of the Army when they go out there,” said Sgt. 1st Class Wesley Wills, career recruiter and Army Recruiter Course instructor. “To put them in the new uniform makes sense to me because they’re going to be engaging the public. It’s going to be good for the Army.”

In Week 4 of the six-week recruiter course, the 70 Soldiers attending were divided into two groups so Army & Air Force Exchange Service personnel could effectively issue all pieces of the uniform set. The set issued to the recruiters includes a service coat, two pairs of pants, a long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirt each, a pair of shoes, socks, tie, belt, gloves and the distinctive cap.

“This uniform goes back to our historical identity,” said Wills. “When I was out recruiting and wore the Army Service Uniform, a lot of times I was asked if I was in the Air Force. Whereas, I believe these are a little truer to who we are.”

Already a recruiter in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Sgt. Rochelle Walsingham said she was excited to be part of the class that gets the uniform. She noted some differences from other uniforms.

“It’s a little heavier than the other ones. The jacket’s a lot heavier and more durable than other jackets are,” she said. “But the AGSUs are more form-fitting for the females. That was a big problem for the ASU for the females. These actually fit more to your form, and we were told you are able to take them out more or bring them in more, so it helps a lot.”

She said when her unit found out she would be one of the first to get issued the new uniforms, they wanted her to take some pictures.

“They’re very jealous,” said Walsingham. “They said, ‘What?!? You already get yours?’ I said, ‘Yeah, and I don’t have to pay for it.’”

Uniforms will go on sale to other Soldiers who want to buy them beginning July 10. Drill sergeants are expected to be the next group to receive the uniforms, and new recruits are expected to be issued the uniforms in the fall. AAFES officials say other installations will begin receiving them shortly afterward.

Emmanuel Belt, the Fort Knox Military Clothing Sales store manager, said they found out in April that Fort Knox would become the first to receive the uniforms. Excitement at the installation has been building since.

“I’m really surprised at how much enthusiasm there is with this uniform,” said Belt. “I thought people wouldn’t want to spend any more money on uniforms, but they all really want this uniform. And it looks great, too.”
