FROG.PRO – R+ MRTB SAR KIT  | What You Need When Others Need You

Friday, April 9th, 2021

April 1, 2021, Italy – FROG.PRO is proud to present the new “RESCUE” line dedicated to professionals and operators in the search and rescue fields.

A line, still under development, characterized by “High-Visibility” colors with retro-reflective details to guarantee the operator’s safety and by the use of strongly water-repellent fabrics that allow rapid and deep cleaning of the fabric even if soiled by biological liquids.

At the top of RESCUE line products stands the new R+ MRTB SAR Kit which takes the search and rescue missions to a higher level.

The patented Multi Purpose Organizer panels are configured by the operator to secure ready-to-use medical instruments and equipment.

When everything is in the right place, the operator can focus his attention to the fundamentals: speed of action, concentration and precision to minimize any margin of error.

The super slim design of the R+ Light Reconnaissance Harness perfectly matches the shoulder straps of the multiday and first aid backpacks without causing any discomfort. This feature is particularly appreciated by rescuers engaged in long-duration SAR missions.

The R+ Modular Reconnaissance Task Bag and the R+ Orthos Med Pouch offer a fully customizable solution for the transport and use of medical devices thanks to the supplied Multi Purpose Organizer panels.

The target on which the FROG.PRO brand focuses its attention is to allow the operator to finally decide what to carry, where, in what quantity and with which retention system, without any hindrance due to pre-set solutions: the only limit it is the imagination.

The full configurability and versatility of the R+ MRTB SAR Kit make it a perfect platform to be used on the field.

Last but not least some details: just a little more than 1 kg of weight, slick design, easy washing thanks to the technical fabrics and a high degree of visibility given by the bright colors widely used in the sector and guaranteed, even in low light conditions, from the Reflex fabric with Class1 retro-reflective characteristics.

A perfectly awesome organization of the equipment.

UF PRO Introduces Tough-as-Nails Yet Ultra-Comfortable Striker X Combat Shirt to Meet Demanding Needs of Military Operatives

Wednesday, April 7th, 2021

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (6 April 2021)—UF PRO today announced the addition of a lighter weight, higher strength, greater comfort, and all-around better performing combat shirt to its acclaimed Striker X range of tactical clothing. The Striker X Combat Shirt—designed expressly to meet the bruising needs of military operatives—is set to become available on 21 April.

“Our Striker X Combat Shirt is innovative on multiple levels,” Wagner asserted, noting that—for starters—the garment makes use of two novel types of fabric.

“The upper torso and sleeves employ the new NyCo Extreme material in MultiCam, while the lower torso consists of Lizard/Skin, which is an innovative, highly stretchable Lyocell-polyamide fabric overlaid with ceramic dots,” he said.

“Together, this construction results in a no-melt/no-drip garment that is extremely comfortable but incredibly rugged—able to withstand the kind of punishment that military operators routinely dish out,” Wagner added.

Other impressive properties of the Striker X Combat Shirt include:

·         Enhanced breathability
·         Fast drying times
·         Superior resistance to abrasion from plate carriers and other toted gear
·         Exceptional functionality
·         Extended life 

Wagner said the Striker X Combat Shirt improves on the design of the Striker XT Gen.2 by adding air-permeable padding to the area where the garment drapes over the wearer’s pelvic crest.

“This helps ensure that hips don’t become irritated from having a gear-laden belt on all day,” he explained.

Another improvement is the Striker X Combat Shirt’s three-level collar closure system. This, said Wagner, allows wearers to choose how much of their neck to expose to the open air.

“Some will want the collar fully open for maximum ventilation, others will want it fully closed for combat-readiness, and still others will want it in between to smarten their look,” Wagner offered.

He mentioned that increased ventilation is also possible by unfastening the openings located in the upper sleeves—one more improvement made to the shirt.

“These openings are strategically positioned to deliver a cooling airflow that helps keep wearers’ core temperature right where it’s supposed to be so that they can stay on top of their game rather than wilting from excess heat buildup and consequently losing their mental focus,” he said.

Wearer protection is increased as well, Wagner revealed. Specifically, the Striker X Combat Shirt at its elbows features anatomically shaped pockets designed to receive UF PRO Flex-Elbow Pads.

UF PRO said it plans to make the Striker X Combat Shirt available in four camouflage patterns/colour schemes: MultiCam; Brown Grey; Flecktarn; and Steel Grey.

The garment is expected to retail for 129€.

Pre-Order – TRC Outdoors Cierzo Suit

Tuesday, April 6th, 2021

TRC Outdoors is please to announce Pre-Sales of our new Cierzo Suit.

Originally manufactured as an Urgent Operational Requirement for a UKSF Unit, the Cierzo Suit is now a core product.

Adding to our already popular Cierzo Shirt is a pair of Cierzo Trousers and a matching Dry Bag.

Check out Outdoors Basics and Prepared Pathfinder for reviews.

Cierzo Suits have a nerdily interesting history.  Are you sitting comfortably?  The first mention of them we have found was as garments made by SAS Troopers from their parachutes after they had dropped into France prior to D-Day.  

They were a UKSF, Royal Marine Mountain & Arctic Cadre, and Airborne Forces staple all throughout the BCE (Before Crye Existed) era, falling out of fashion during the GWOT.  We resurrected them and bought them up to date with modern fabric, a few design tweaks and modern construction techniques.  

The garment is meant to be used as a windproof outer layer or as an intermediate layer.  They can even be worn under a damp outer layer while it dries out.  Cierzo Suits punch well above their weight in terms of the warmth they offer, especially in windy conditions and mountainous terrain.  

Ideal for hasty halts, OPs, as a tent suit, wet/dry drills in the jungle, glassing for game, sitting in tree stands, or as a lightweight and rapidly deployable camo garment in your BOB.

Our Cierzo Suits are manufactured in the UK by the company responsible for procuring silk for parachutes during WW2, which is a rather neat connection we think!  

Cierzo Suits come in two fittings; regular and long (for cave trolls over 6’).

Discounted Price Now – Despatched on 3rd May 21.

New Bundeswehr Air Defense System: Rheinmetall, Diehl and Hensoldt are Lining Up Together

Saturday, April 3rd, 2021

Rheinmetall Electronics GmbH of Bremen, Diehl Defence GmbH & Co. KG of Überlingen and Hensoldt Sensors GmbH of Taufkirchen have signed a joint agreement to cooperate in a special partnership known as an “Arbeitsgemeinschaft”, or ARGE. Under the framework of ARGE NNbS, the three companies will submit a tender for the future German short-range and very short- range air defence system, the LVS NNbS.

The NNbS project bridges a current capability gap when it comes to protecting ground troops during deployed operations as well as securing tactical operation centres and other assets against short- and very short-range aerial threats.

The three companies aim to provide a national, low-risk solution that will be quickly available thanks to the use of commercially available systems and system components. The conceptual system design of ARGE NNbS relies primarily on proven systems and subsystems, including integration of components already in use by the Bundeswehr.

A further advantage of ARGE NNbS is comprehensive logistical support in Germany for the short-range and very short-range air defence system.

Thanks to the complementary core competences of the three national bidders, the ARGE possesses the prerequisites, qualifications and expertise to meet all of the customer’s needs.

Rheinmetall’s Electronic Solutions and Vehicle Systems divisions bring expert technological knowledge and years of experience in developing and supplying defence systems, especially in the fields of vehicles, communication and integration.

Diehl Defence specializes in the development and manufacture of guided missiles. It has established itself in the international marketplace with modern system solutions for ground-based air defence.

As a supplier of key national technologies, Hensoldt will be contributing its expertise as well as battle-tested products such as radars. The company is noted for its comprehensive product commonalities, including product family concepts, especially in the spheres of airspace surveillance and target classification and identification.

FROG.PRO – Modular Reconnaissance Task Bag

Friday, April 2nd, 2021

MRTB |  YOUR ROLE. YOUR EQUIPMENT. ORGANIZED.

Taneto – March 31, 2021 – FROG.PRO places another milestone on the path of modularity undertaken for years within the Tactical and Rescue market and is pleased to present its MRTB, Modular Reconnaissance Task Bag.

This accessory, fully compatible with all FROG.PRO platforms, gives the user “carte blanche” in configuring his setup.

The MRTB comes with two MPO (Multi Purpose Organizer) panels which, thanks to their versatility and easiness of use, are configurable using the elastic cords and the One-Wrap Velcro strips included in the MPO kit, to store the items and accessories necessary to achieve the goal that has been set or for which there is a call to act; be it reaching the top of a mountain, tactical use in the field or the rescue of a patient in a SAR mission, the Modular Reconnaissance Task Bag will guarantee an orderly and practical organization of the instrumentation.

Equipped with YKK® Aquaguard water-repellent zippers and manufactured with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) fabrics, the MRTB will allow you to safely transport its contents, stored in both the main pocket and in the two accessory pockets positioned respectively on the front and back.

The inner part equipped with Ultra-Mate® Velcro hook fastener will allow a firm application to the plate carrier, as already seen while presenting the Defender Low Visibility Plate Carrier, but can be easily covered by the matched Task Bag Pad Air if it is necessary to use it combined with shoulder harnesses such as, for example, the Light Reconnaissance Harness.

The combination with the aforementioned platforms finds maximum expression in the three configurations Defender Medic Kit, MRTB Light Patrol Kit and R + MRTB SAR Kit, designed based on the specific needs of experts in the sector and operators belonging to departments of excellence.

The modularity of the Multi Purpose Organizer TB panels, already supplied in one pair but also present in the catalog and available individually both in the “Horizontal” and “Vertical” versions, allow the operator to bring along several configurations and switch from one to the other with maximum ease and in the shortest possible time, making it complete and fully equipped.

The molle system, made of LAHYCO fabric by FROG.PRO, placed on the front of the pocket, allows for expansion if necessary via applying external pouches and / or additional accessories.

Finally, in the R + version intended for the Rescue market, you can see the use of Reflex fabric with the purpose of enhancing the operator’s visibility (already guaranteed by the High Visibility colors) even in low light situations, when hit by a beam of light.

Canada Adopts CADPAT-MT Camouflage

Friday, April 2nd, 2021

In addition to adopting a new variant of CADPAT called Multi Terrain, Canada’s Department of National Defence has called upon industry to produce fabric for new uniforms in the pattern. It will replace CADPAT-TW (Temperate Woodland) as the primary camouflage pattern for Canadian forces.

Under development for the past few years, CADPAT-MT has seen a color palette refinement. An early version trialed at Petawawa in 2019 was darker with a brown dominance.

The current tender for fabric calls for an initial order of 390,000 meters followed by an order of 560,000 meters a year later. Total quantities are anticipated at 1.1 million meters.
