Aardvark Launched Project 7 Armor

Saturday, January 16th, 2016

La Verne, CA – AARDVARK is excited to announce the launch of PROJECT 7 Armor. Designed in collaboration with The Safariland Group and utilizing cutting edge technologies from several industry leaders including Blue Force Gear, Honeywell, and Dupont, PROJECT 7 is the first full coverage tactical armor system that doesn’t compromise safety for comfort. Designed to be lighter, flexible, comfortable, and more athletic, PROJECT 7 achieves what other tactical vests have failed to do – provide both mobility and coverage.

PROJECT 7 hosts an array of unique features including an external flexible yoke designed for full range of motion, a prone position compatible collar, Safariland’s patent pending angular webless MOLLE, and structured upper arm protection sized to each user.

AARDVARK’s CEO Jon Becker stated “For PROJECT 7, we started with a blank piece of paper. We looked at every design aspect of the vest and asked ourselves, ‘How can we make this better?’ Then, we took that design and made it out of only the absolute best technologies available across the industry. We’re ecstatic to finally have PROJECT 7 reach the tactical market. ”

Todd Mackler, VP of Armor for the Safariland Group echoed Becker’s sentiment saying, “We are very excited for PROJECT 7 to finally be launching. We considered an unprecedented amount of client feedback in the development of this armor system, and I believe PROJECT 7 will not only meet the needs of our clients, but will also help the tactical community to be dramatically safer.”

In addition to PROJECT 7 Armor, the revolutionary P7ARMOR.COM was launched this morning. The first interactive website in the industry, the site was designed to allow users to have an in-depth understanding of all of the innovative key components of PROJECT 7. Not only are visitors able to view vests in 360°, but perhaps more importantly, users have the ability to configure their own vest to their exact specifications including color options, ballistic packages, rifle plates, accessories, and even custom ID patches, and then download or share the spec sheet for their specific configuration.

Among the latest NIJ 0101.06 certified offerings to be showcased at PBE’s booth (#11366):

Revolutionary ballistic packages provide unprecedented comfort

AXBIIIA (Alpha Elite™ Black): An enhancement to the previous Alpha Elite model and the world’s lightest-weight Level IIIA package at .79 psf. It is 17% lighter than the original Alpha Elite with the same high level of protection. It is available in both male and female versions.

FLXIIIA-1: Weighing 1.04 psf, this advanced ballistics model is 10% lighter than the previous FLX package, providing the same performance capabilities with no increase in costs.

BCIIIA: This new low cost alternative offers a reasonable weight at 1.25 psf and delivers high performance protection.

New tactical carriers offer cutting-edge scalability, flexibility and mobility

ARMIS: Offers a new, innovative approach to body armor design. This highly scalable, side-opening carrier allows tactical units the flexibility to configure the body armor system to meet mission-specific needs. It includes the capability to release the complete vest in one quick motion, select the specific level of protection needed, while enhancing mobility, agility and substantially improved range of motion for the operator.

Federal LE Plate Carrier: Is creatively designed to provide unmatched comfort, protection and flexibility to meet the needs of every mission. Through the addition of an adjustable cummerbund and optional side plate pouches for hard armor plates, the Federal LE Plate Carrier is the operator’s choice for today’s missions. It is available with accessories as a complete tactical system.

Two-In-One Plate Carrier: Delivers the instant solution when a threat situation escalates and more than one operator needs hard armor protection. This cutting-edge plate carrier features front and back plate pockets for NIJ Level III or IV hard armor plates. Within a matter of seconds, a second operator can quickly remove the rear plate panel and don the plate carrier for immediate ballistic protection.

First Spear with PBE ballistic solutions: Advanced tactical systems from First Spear and PBE are designed to deliver state-of-the-art protection and enhanced light-weight load carriage.

Innovative concealable carriers deliver ultra-covertness

Executive: Offers an exceptional low profile fit for the executive and operator requiring a covert vest, and is ultra-lightweight. The “T-shirt Carrier” design has been enhanced to eliminate the edges of the vest from being visible, offering the ultimate in an ultra-covert carrier. It features a left and right side front zipper for easy donning/doffing and is made of stretch fabric for comfortable wear.

PBE’s concealable carrier family of products, including Elite, Vision® and Hi-Lite have also been enhanced for 2016 with features that deliver even greater benefits for law enforcement officers, including Dri-Lex® technology which wicks moisture away from the body up to six times faster than other fabrics.

Latest accessory solutions support growing private security and hunting markets

Executive Ballistic Briefcase: Instantly converts from a lightweight, discreet briefcase to a fold-out ballistic shield with additional “special threats” protection (by inserting SPEED plates in the plate pockets). Within seconds, this convertible product can provide instant protective coverage against fragmentation and bullets. It’s ideally suited for dignitary protection details, private security and other high threat environments, and goes beyond traditional ballistic blankets by offering instant adaptability with maximum functionality in one, easy to deploy system.

Weapon Carry System: A one of a kind, totally hands free long gun carry system that creates little to no pressure points. Whether hiking, hunting, or sport shooting, or whatever the task is required, the Weapon Carry System is a one stop solution for weapon retention and hunter safety. It is available for purchase at www.pbhunting.com.

Intelligence Retrievable Incident System (IRIS CAM): Designed to meet the growing demand for law enforcement agencies to provide a visual and audio record of officers’ interactions with the public. The body-worn camera offers multiple capabilities for storage to meet all law enforcement agency requirements.

Foreman continued, “Our PBE team looks forward to demonstrating the latest engineering, design and system advancements which address the needs that matter most to the marketplace. SHOT Show is an ideal forum to preview our 2016 line-up of solutions and meet with many of our key customers and partners to share insights on industry developments and trends. We can’t wait!”

IWI US Introduces TAVOR SAR in .300 Blackout at 2016 SHOT Show

Thursday, January 14th, 2016

IWI US, Inc., a subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd., is proud to announce a new caliber for the TAVOR® SAR; the .300 Blackout. The bullpup deemed “Rifle of the Year” by the NRA’s American Rifleman Magazine in 2014 continues to excite the American audience who have embraced the TAVOR SAR and the bullpup concept with open arms. For those who already own a TAVOR® SAR in 5.56 NATO or 9mm, a .300 Blackout conversion kit will also be available.

“We’ve had a ton of requests for this particular caliber as its popularity has grown as a good self-defense round as well as a hunting round,” Michael Kassnar, VP of Sales and Marketing for IWI US explained. “The .300 Blackout is a highly accurate, soft shooting round that is also a very effective hunting round, unlike the lighter more traditional varmint or military calibers. We listened to our customers on Facebook and through our Customer Service Department and this was a round that kept coming up to the top of the wish list. And we listened to our customers express their need for a .300 Blackout rifle that can reliably handle sub-sonic and supersonic loads. The result is an integral gas regulator built into the Tavor barrel that is easily adjustable for sub or supersonic rounds.”

The TAVOR® SAR bullpup configuration offers the short rifle convenience but with a full size rifle’s velocity, energy and accuracy. All of the TAVOR® SAR’s parts are MIL-STD and 100% interchangeable. The 16.5” or 18” .300 Blackout barrel is cold-hammer forged and chrome lined, made from CrMoV steel. The long-stroke gas piston system is also 100% ambidextrous in configuration and operation with an optional opposite hand bolt, and a simple field stripping is all that is needed to quickly and easily break down the TAVOR into two major serviceable subassemblies. MSRP is $ 2,049.00.

The .300 Blackout conversion kit includes a 16.5” or 18” cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel made of CrMoV steel with a 1:7 right hand twist, a headspaced bolt, an A2 flash suppressor and barrel wrench. MSRP is $499.00.

High Speed Gear Announces TACO LT and Slotted Battle Belt Lines for SHOT Show

Thursday, January 14th, 2016

SWANSBORO, North Carolina – Jan. 14, 2016 – High Speed Gear® has a history of producing some of the most versatile tactical pouches and platforms in the industry. A proven performer, HSGI® continues to show tremendous popularity in the law enforcement and military markets worldwide. Our lengthy list of top tier operators includes U.S. and allied special forces, state and local tactical units, and hundreds of federal agencies.

In keeping with that standard, and from popular demand, High Speed Gear® is proud to expand its TACO® and battle belt families with the new TACO® LT and slotted battle belt lines. These lines feature our three top-selling TACOs®, including the Pistol TACO® and Double Decker TACO®, and slotted versions of our popular Slim-Grip™ and Sure-Grip® Padded Belts.

The TACO® LT, Pistol TACO® LT and Double Decker TACO® LT function like the traditional TACO pouches, but weigh 30% less with our new injection-molded polymer brackets and improved Cordura® laminate. The MOLLE versions take advantage of our resilient and light new vinyl MOLLE backers, while the belt mounted versions use a loop of Velcro® One-Wrap®. These pouches have been tested by law enforcement professionals and special operators alike and have proven to be as durable as the originals. Additionally, these pouches are much more flexible than the standard TACO® line, able to easily twist, bend and collapse without losing shape or breaking.

Our new, slotted, padded-belt systems are the next generation of the HSGI® padded-belt family. They maintain all the durability and versatility of the standard Slim-Grip™ and Sure-Grip®, but add more options for users. Through their paneled design, the wearer can attach both MOLLE and belt-mounted pouches, holsters and drop platforms to these padded belts. The design allows the user to either wear it as a full MOLLE system or weave the inner belt in and out of the panels to expose both belt and MOLLE attachment points. Additionally, the Slim-Grip™ – Slotted now features uniloops like our Sure-Grip® for use with our High Speed Low Drag Suspenders or other similar tactical suspenders.
