At the Milipol Expo later this month in Parais, NFM is launching a new helmet line called, naturally enough, Hjelm.

NFM Is Launching New Helmet At Milipol
Tuesday, November 12th, 2019UF PRO to Spotlight New Striker X Combat Pants, Other Tactical Gear at Paris Milipol Show, 19-22 Nov
Monday, November 11th, 2019TRZIN, SLOVENIA (11 Nov. 2019)—Homeland Security officials and other attendees will get eyes on the newest and best tactical garments and accessories from UF PRO at the Milipol international fair set for 19-22 Nov. in Paris, UF PRO today announced.
UF PRO, which makes advanced-technology tactical garments and related gear for military special-forces teams and for law-enforcement agencies worldwide, said it plans to display at its exhibit booth (5D 083) a soon-to-debut range of highly anticipated combat shirts and pants known as Striker X.
“Our Striker X range is built to meet the demanding needs of military operators, whose input we drew on in designing both the shirts and pants,” said Armin Wagner, head of UF PRO product development. “Milipol is the big international gathering of homeland security players, the leading event of its kind in Europe.”
According to Wagner, the Striker X range is notable for extreme ruggedness combined with remarkable comfort.
“Striker X combat pants and shirts are made with high-tech, best-in-class materials that offer no-melt/no-drip,” Wagner explained. “All the seams are streamlined, and the places most vulnerable to rips and damage from abrasion are super-reinforced.
“Yet, they’re also exceptionally breathable. And, thanks to their anatomic fit, they move freely as though they’re part of the wearer’s body.”
Along with the new Striker X combat garments, UF PRO will showcase the special Striker FR range which can only be purchased by government entities, Wagner said.
However, those two patterns will not be the only ones to make an appearance at the UF PRO exhibit station, Wagner assured.
“We have a number of other new colours we want to parade past our guests at the booth,” he said. “One of these is Steel Grey, and it will be presented on our upcoming Delta OL 3.0 winter jackets and pants, as well as on our already available Striker BDUs.
“Another new colour is PHANTOMLEAF. A novel algorithm was employed in designing this adaptive pattern, which is why it can cause a wearer to visually blend in against almost any background. The surrounding landscape or environment may change, but this one pattern works in them all. It’s available only to governments in this pattern, but the WASP II Z3a pattern is developed for civilian usage as well.”
One more camouflage pattern expected to garner an abundance of interest is CONCAMO, which will be shown on UF PRO’s Striker HT combat pants, Wagner said.
“CONCAMO is short for ‘confusion camouflage,’” he explained. “And confusion is exactly what it produces in the brain of someone looking in the direction of a CONCAMO wearer. Its eight blended colours combined with an array of scientifically structured shapes toss a wrench into the subconscious mind, preventing awareness of what’s practically right in front of your face.”
Other major attractions announced for the UF PRO exhibit:
• Monsoon XT Gen.2 Rain Jacket and Monsoon XT Rain Pants. The jacket features a unique hood-harnessing system that doesn’t restrict the wearer’s field of view. UF PRO air/pac® inserts in the shoulders help better distribute the weight of a plate carrier or backpack. Both the jacket and pants are made of 100-percent waterproof laminates and include functional elements such as ventilation zippers, zippers for easy access of pockets beneath outerwear, and boot hooks to prevent the pants from bunching or riding up along the wearer’s legs.
• AcE Winter Combat Shirt & Delta AcE Plus Gen.2 Jacket. Both are designed for bitter cold-weather conditions by wearers engaged in a significant amount of sweat-breaking physical activity. Functional elements common to both include air/pac® inserts, highly water-repellent and windproof face fabric, and the ability to accommodate a plate carrier and backpack. The jacket offers abrasion-resistant side ventilation panels, while the shirt comes with a zipper side ventilation system.
• Delta ML Gen.2 Jacket. This feather-light, thermal-insulated tactical jacket is making its public debut at Milipol. It’s suited for use as either a middle or outer layer, and features abrasion-resistant side panels, G-Loft thermal insulation filling, and moisture-wicking microfleece lining. The face fabric is water-repellent and windproof.
Wagner extended an invitation to Milipol 2019 attendees to not only visit the UF PRO booth but also arrange one-on-one meetings with the company’s top executives to talk in a relaxed setting about tactical gear and other matters related to homeland security needs.

Monday, October 21st, 2019It is a pleasure to announce that Lorica Nostrum, an European Company, will Exhibit their Integrated Combat System (I.C.S.) during MILIPOL2019, Paris, France next November 19-22nd 2019. Pavilion 5, stand VD 026.
It was invented during Close Protection Team missions in Afghanistan, between years 2002 and 2005. Only for governmental agencies, military and L&E units.
The Integrated Combat System (I.C.S.) has been designed to work in special covert missions where a very low recognition profile is required, cloaked as a sport backpack.
Its design provides a tactical advantage which allows Special Forces soldiers or SWAT Officers to obtain an operational superiority, carrying the same weapons, ballistic protection and mission equipment in a covert and comfortable manner, enabling the users to employ this system in its full offensive envelope, while they mingle with the crowd until the operation starts.
It has been tested in operations in Africa and Europe since 2014. It has been tested in Static Line jumps, Military Free fall jumps, and waterborne operations since 2017.
It is compatible with more than 250 current weapons, assault rifles, carbines, SMG´s, PDW´s, grenade launchers, shotguns and handguns.
As options, the system may include:
1. An integrated harness for helicopter operations (SPIE or HRST),
2. An integrated positive buoyancy device for water operations,
3. A geolocation device,
4. RFID tags for better logistics,
5. It may be custom made, in size, colours and materials.
Worldwide and European Patents, US Patent #US10188197B2. Also patented in China, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Russian Federation, Spain and UK.

Milipol 17 – Good Guys In Bad Lands
Tuesday, November 28th, 2017At last week’s Milipol Exposition in Paris, I met the founders of the Italy-based international military/LE chaity, Good Guys in Bad Lands.
Good Guys in Bad Lands was born in 2012 on Facebook by an Afghanistan Veteran as a page to commemorate Fallen Soldiers worldwide. These days they are a charity, raising funds via auctions and the sale of memorabilia to train local agencies, provide support to the survivors of fallen service and LE members, and support those with service related PTSD. They have several industry partners such as Garmin, which is offering a special version of their tactix Bravo.

Milipol 17 – NFM Group Introduces Hellhound Grey
Tuesday, November 28th, 2017Hellhound Grey has joined Coyote Brown, Raptor Green, Raven Black and MultiCam as color choices for NFM products.
It’s great to see the clothing side catch up with the armor which was first to adopt Hellhound Grey. Here, you can see a THOR carrier along with GARM combat clothing, all in the same color. The gloves are Mechanix Wear in Wolf Grey which also gives you an idea of how Hellhound Grey will blend with Urban Wolf Grey. These Grey hues have become very popular in Europe, particularly with LE CT organizations.
Milipol 17 – Helikon-Tex Previews Boots
Tuesday, November 28th, 2017Helikon-Tex displayed prototypes of a possible expansion into footwear. It’s a natural progression as they add more and more categories to their line. The current models are more focused on the LE amd security sectors than military customers, but if they do get into footwear, I’d expect them to add other models as well.
I’ve been impressed with the amount of new products coming out of Helikon-Tek these past few years. What do you think?
