IWA 22 – True Velocity

Monday, March 7th, 2022

True Velocity and LoneStar Future Weapons exhibited in the PT Defence booth at both Enforce Tac and IWA Outdoor Classics.

However, the RM777 bullpup rifle, which fires TV’s proprietary plotter cases 6.8 TVCM cartridge, was in the Beretta booth at Enforce Tac. This prompted me to clear up something I had misunderstood from SHOT Show.

Should the TV team win the US Army Next Generation Squad Weapons PON, the contract guns will be manufactured by LoneStar. They plan for any commercial guns to come from Beretta.

IWA 22 – Durabo

Saturday, March 5th, 2022

Durabo is a Polish company that specializes in work and casual wear with military design cues like this Super 65 Field Jacket they launched awhile back. They also use Cordura fabrics in their clothing.

At IWA they gave is a sneak peek of their upcoming Combat Uniform.

It’s an interesting design with more of a field or Recce-style jacket than a combat shirt. As you can see, they anticipate use of Crye Precision knee pads.

IWA 22 – Lowa Task Force

Saturday, March 5th, 2022

Lowa has been working on updating several boots in the Task Force line including the ever popular Zephyr.

While maintaining the the overall look of the boot, they’ve updated the materials and they are now fully certified to CE EN ISO 20347:2012 standard. The lacing system now features a locking hook and there’s a lace storage pocket at the top of the tongue. They’ve also enlarged the loop at the rear of the heel.

Additionally, the X-TRAC military outsole is new and incorporates a fast rope arch.

One interesting design change is that they’ve moved the seam at the side of the toe further back so that it won’t separate over time due to flexing. You can the new seam location on the Mk2 at the left compared to the original construction of the Zephyr at the right.

in this layout you can see the update extends to low, mid, and hi versions of the Zephyr MK2, in all colors as well.
