The Boonie Hat Gen 2 will be available later this Spring in the whole line of UF PRO colorways.
Update: here’s another photo for those of you who couldn’t discern the difference between the hat and background.
Finnish suppressor manufacturer Ase Utra displayed their new training suppressor. It’s a Denny device and can be used for non-blank firing training such as combatives or non-firing rehearsals. This sample has been painted but they are working on a Cerakote version.
If you need a blank firing device, Ase Utra offers this model from their partner Thales which was developed for use with the Austeyr and has been adapted to their muzzle attachment.

Important Events
Enforce Tac is billed as a discreet international trade fair for command, control, and operational equipment used by security agencies. Event-goers are able to explore the latest trends in law enforcement, particularly police equipment, security gear, and tactical solutions.
IWA OutdoorClassics is touted as the leading international trade fair for hunting and shooting sports, outdoor equipment and equipment for use in civil and regulatory security. Attendees come to scrutinize
high-quality weapons and outdoor products, plus experience the newest in lightweight materials, comfort and enhanced features – such as those slated to be on display at the UF PRO® booth.
“We expect to cause quite a stir at the two back-to-back fairs with our latest tactical clothing innovations,” said Armin Wagner, UF PRO® head of product development. Among these innovations will be camoshield™, a state-of-the-art fabric technology that hides near-infrared and thermal infrared signatures by bringing the wearer’s surface temperature down to as little as 10 °C without compromising comfort.
Other UF PRO® favorites that will be exhibited include the company’s fire-and-forget Striker Combat gear range, P-40 combat pants collection, Delta cold-weather gear, Monsoon rain gear, Urban tactical clothing line, and an acclaimed group of pocket, pad, and strap systems.
“Everything you’ll see at our booth at both these outstanding fairs is built to perform under the toughest environmental conditions,” said Wagner. “Our products use world-class materials combined with innovative technologies. And, they are one and all made in Europe – a fact we are extremely proud of.”
Prize Drawing Forecast to Be a Hit
Wagner added that the shopping giveaway is also predicted to be a huge hit with attendees.
“To participate, attendees need only stop by our booth and fill out the short entry form,”
he said. “ One lucky contestant’s name will be picked at random just a little over a week after IWA,” he continued. “The winner will receive a special code to purchase free 300€ worth of UF PRO® gear at our online store.” Wagner said the UF PRO® team looks forward to these two vital trade fairs. “We wouldn’t miss them for the world,” he enthused.

MODULAR ADVANCED WEAPON LASER (MAWL)
The B.E. Meyers & Co. MAWL family of individual carbine lasers have been designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the modern night fighter and is currently used by Special Forces groups across the world, including the French GIGN. Understanding the shortcomings of common laser devices in use with both military and law enforcement, B.E. Meyers & Co. built the MAWL with three ideal settings (Close Range, Mid Range, and Long Range) which allow for seamless transitions in any operational environment. The MAWL-DA (Direct Action, class 3B) and MAWL-C1+ (Class 1+) feature high powered near infrared and visible green aiming and illumination capabilities. The MAWL-CLAD (Covert Laser Aiming Device) distinguishes itself from other MAWL variants through the inclusion of a Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) laser pointer. Every MAWL features cutting edge Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology to provide consistently superior NIR beam quality and clarity, as well as a significantly greater illumination range.
HAIL AND WARNING
The GLARE® RECOIL, now designated the LA-22/U, was selected by the Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) as the sole source winner for the U.S. Marine Corps’ Ocular Interruption Systems (OIS) program. It features the B.E. Meyers & Co. patented SmartRange™ technology that utilizes laser range finding and near-field detection to self-regulate power output. The result is a product that represents the pinnacle of Hail and Warning systems technology, featuring controlled EyeSafe™ irradiance while simultaneously achieving maximum permissible exposure on target.
B.E. Meyers & Co. also offers a class 1M variant of the LA-22/U, known as the GLARE HELIOS™.
IZLID
The IZLID® series of NIR and SWIR laser pointers/illuminators are versatile and dependable. Theyallow Special Operations and conventional forces to clearly and precisely communicate with to other assets both in the sky, and on the battlefield. Primary applications include marking, pointing, targeting, and illumination. The IZLID series of lasers can be used as handheld units or mounted to various weapons systems or aircraft.
BOARS-M2
In response to the need for a modular, compact optic mount for the M2 platform, B.E. Meyers & Co. developed a revolutionary low profile mounting solution, the BOARS-M2™. It offers a modular, quick-disconnect system with true return-to-zero reattach, and a pass through aperture for use with iron sights. The BOARS-M2’s low profile form factor increases operator survivability by lowering the end-user defilade.

While these are a one-offs, intended to show German brand MD-Textil’s laser cutting capabilities, it’s still cool to see pouches made in this US, 1970s-era Night Desert Camouflage pattern, designed to defeat night vision systems.
