Deceptex Material

HyperStealth’s CUEPAT to be Featured on Upcoming TV Series “Primeval New World”
Sunday, August 19th, 2012
Hyperstealth originally developed The camouflage under contract for the Canadian Department of National Defence, Defence Research and Development Canada Suffield, (DRDC-S) to devise a Canadian Urban Environment Pattern (CUEPAT) based on the unique requirements of Canada’ss three major metropolitan areas, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
Now, CUEPAT – 1 has found its way onto the upcoming TV series, “Primeval New World” filmed near Hyperstealth’s headquarters in Vancouver, BC. It’s a North American spin-off of the hit U.K. television series “Primeval” featuring a Special Forces Canadian Military unit. Naturally, they need something high tech looking, so the producers turned to HyperStealth. As it is a restricted pattern, HyperStealth had to receive permission from the DND for its use. Once the red tape was sorted through, permission was granted and HyperStealth used their relationship with ICE Tactical to produce the uniforms. This also served as a dry run for future production of the upcoming DECEPTEX uniforms.
