Thursday, February 18th, 2021

Grip and Cutback SF Pants Aim to Blend in No Matter the Environment
Cincinnati, Ohio – Vertx®, a leading manufacturer of low-profile tactical apparel and accessories, announced today the addition of the Grip and Cutback SF pants to its low-vis line. Designed to work for a number of environments and styles, the Grip and Cutback SF add variety to the Prepared Professional’s™ low-profile uniform. Both the Grip and Cutback SF are now available online at vertx.com and in-store. Customers can find their nearest dealer using the Vertx® store locator at vertx.com/store-locator.

Cutback SF Pant in Griffin
Whether its hidden E&E pockets, gusseting, comms pass-throughs, or wallet traps, the Grip and Cutback SF includes everything you’ve come to expect from a Vertx® pant; packaged for your unique look or assignment.

The Grip offers the same form as classic workwear, but with tactical function. Its unique front dump pockets mimic the look of a utility pant but are extra-deep and fabricated using a highly breathable mesh that eliminates hot spots. When the job gets dirty, the Grip blends in without sacrificing vital features.

The more urban Cutback SF fits into any downtown, uptown, or out of town environment. Its slimmer leg opening fits in on city streets but can be dressed up for professional settings or dressed down for a day on the range.

Grip Pant in Exhaust
“Our customers in the field aren’t always working a job alone,” said Denny Bogard, GM/VP of Vertx. “When we bring a new piece into our line, we keep that in mind. The Grip and Cutback SF expand our end user’s options so a group can work a mission together without looking like it.”

The Grip and Cutback SF provide the visual diversity your team and your situation call for, with the features you rely on. Each pant’s colorways are unique, so even when you “accidentally” match with the team, your look doesn’t scream, “Look at me!” The Grip is available in Exhaust, Depth Charge and Dusty Rhode and the Cutback SF in Griffin, Tobacco and Deep Navy. They retail for $69.99 MSRP and $79.99 MSRP, online and in store. Learn more about the Grip, the Cutback SF and the rest of the Vertx® line at vertx.com.

LEGEND Compression Tactical Boot Socks – “They make all the Difference”

Wednesday, February 10th, 2021

Our tactical boot sock program was developed using our extensive knowledge of medical grade compression hosiery along with warfighter evaluations and recommendations.

We spoke to hundreds of current Warfighters, Law Enforcement, Fire, and Rescue American Legends for their input. It turned out that all of these individuals have common needs. We heard oner and over that, “If my feet hurt and I get blisters, I’m miserable and my focus suffers”. Based on this feedback, we selected the very best American Merino Wool and Moisture Wicking Nylon yarns for our socks. We designed the highest performance tactical socks available. We manufacture them, in a “state of the art” mill in our home state of North Carolina. Our socks are field tested by Special Operations and worn by all branches of the military.

So, what makes us different? It is the use of graduated compression to reduce foot fatigue. We use graduated compression in everything we make. Our mission is to keep your feet healthy to extend the life of your legs.

Unfortunately, it is common for your feet to be either hot, cold, or wet. As a result, we keep our product simple and offer LEGEND® tactical socks for all temperatures and weather conditions.

• LEGEND® (Warm Weather) Compression Moisture Wicking Nylon Socks.

• LEGEND® (All Weather) Compression Merino Wool Socks

• LEGEND® (Cold Weather) Compression Merino Wool Socks

Features:

Mild Graduated Compression helps improve blood flow, reduce foot fatigue, achy feet, and recovery time.

Seamless toe design and dense terry cushioning to reduce friction, toe irritation, and to increase comfort.

Wide Arch Support to minimize sock movement, blisters, and provide greater comfort.

Our All Weather and Cold Weather boot socks use a high percentage content of merino wool. They are, moisture wicking, temperature regulating, breathable, antibacterial, and odor resistant. We also use an unique Spuncover™ process by wrapping our merino wool in nylon that makes our socks, softer, more durable, and reduces shrinkage.

In addition, our All Weather and Cold Weather boot socks, based upon independent 3rd party testing are Flame Resistant (FR).

The Merino Wool All Weather compression boot socks have cushioning on the sole and shin, arch, and instep, for added comfort.

The Merino Wool Cold Weather compression boot socks have dense terry cushioning through-out the entire sock to help keep your feet warm during cold weather conditions.

The Warm Weather compression boot sock is knit using “Aquarius” nylon technology with high performance engineered micro-channel nylon fibers. This technology accelerates wicking, and evaporation; keeps moisture away from your feet. These hydrophilic attributes keep your feet dry and free from blisters.

The LEGEND® program is proudly “Made In USA” in North Carolina under stringent quality control in an ISO1901:2015 certified compression hosiery knitting facility.

We are also a SKILCRAFT® Program “Supporting Jobs for Blind Workers”
