S.O.Tech “30 Seconds Vest” as Seen in “HEAT”

Wednesday, April 26th, 2023

“Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.”

The S.O.Tech team respects pivotal change influencers, and the movie HEAT is just that. It was just as entertaining as other action movies up until that time, but HEAT incorporated real tactical movement and weapon manipulation that caused the rest of Hollywood to up its game. And representative piece of this ground breaking, the HEAT clandestine magazine carry vest earned the respect and homage of a S.O.Tech Redux.

Vest includes built-in hook silencers on the shoulder and waist adjustments. When the user extends the shoulders or waist, hook Velcro is exposed which can tear and eat at your clothes. The hook silencer negates that.

“30 Seconds Vest” goes live 4/28 12pm PST.

$150 each. Vests come in S/M and L/XL size. No backorders, not a pre-order. Limit 1 per customer.

Tuesday, April 25th, 2023

U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, will tour 25 military bases across the country this spring and summer, celebrating the bravery and service of U.S. Military Service Members to our country.

Lexington, KY (April 2023) – U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, announced a Bravery Tour celebrating US Military Service Members, past and present, and their families, for their service, bravery, and sacrifice. The U.S. Patriot team will start the tour on May 2, 2023, at Ft. Campbell, KY, and will visit 25 US military bases over four months ending the tour at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, on Aug. 5, 2023. The U.S. Patriot team, which includes several US military veterans, will drive a 2023 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 4×4 wrapped in a beautiful red, white, and blue U.S. Patriot livery for 6,000+ miles.

“I am thrilled to kick this tour off next week at Ft Campbell,” said Mike Fadden, CEO of Galls. “There is no better way to honor those who serve than by spending time with them and getting to know our troops. We look forward to interacting with the US military service members for the next four months, celebrating everything they do for our nation, and bringing their voice directly into how we serve them better for their tactical gear needs.”

The tour will be interactive, and the military service members will be encouraged to leave their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind by the end of the tour. At the conclusion of the tour, the Jeep will be given away through a sweepstake random drawing to one lucky winner. All active-duty military members, national guard members, reservists, military retirees, military veterans, and dependents of active-duty military members are eligible to enter the sweepstakes. No purchase is necessary.

The tour will conduct fun events on each of the 25 bases it visits. These events will offer active duty, veterans, and their families an opportunity to mingle while enjoying food and beverages, promotions and giveaways, product demonstrations, and the chance to win the Jeep. Throughout the tour, the U.S. Patriot team will update viewers and fans via social media with commentary on military life, their stories, being on the move, and the importance of being professionally equipped.

Germany Buys 227 Additional BAE Systems BvS10s Through Framework Agreement

Tuesday, April 25th, 2023

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — April 24, 2023 – Germany is investing in an additional 227 ultra- mobile, protected, all-terrain BvS10 vehicles from BAE Systems. The German contract, worth around $400 million, follows the joint procurement by Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom in support of Arctic operations for the Collaborative All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program, with Sweden as the lead nation. This will extend the deliveries from the framework agreement, which are to begin in 2024, out to 2030.

“This framework agreement streamlines the process by allowing prospective and existing customers to acquire vehicles at previously negotiated terms, while also benefiting from the joint development,” said Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, managing director of BAE Systems Hägglunds, which manufactures the vehicles in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. “This will secure Germany’s access to these highly capable vehicles for decades to come, and demonstrates the strong relationship between BAE Systems and our customer.”

BAE Systems’ military all-terrain vehicles are designed for operations in the harshest and most remote environments, and this agreement signals the company’s position as the defense industry’s leader in these capabilities. The new contract is for additional troop transport vehicles and armored personnel carriers (APCs), as well as three new German BvS10 versions; Command and Control (C2), and two logistics variants that will add combat support to the German Armed Forces.

The BvS10 (and Beowulf) are world-leading all-terrain solutions. Their articulated mobility systems provide optimal maneuverability across varying terrains including snow, ice, rock, sand, mud, swamps, and steep mountain environments. The vehicles’ amphibious feature also allows them to swim in flooded areas or coastal waters. The vehicles can deliver personnel and supplies to sustain strategic, tactical, and operational mobility.

BvS10’s unprecedented mobility is based on terrain accessible North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) standards. Its modular design allows it to be reconfigured for varying missions and can be delivered in multiple variants that include carrying personnel, command and control, ambulance, vehicle repair and recovery, logistics support, situational awareness, and a weapons carrier with additional mortar capability.

The vehicle is currently operated by Austria, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. BAE Systems’ Beowulf, the unarmored variant of the BvS10, won the U.S.

Army’s competition for its Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program in August. The U.S. Army will receive 110 vehicles over a five-year period.

ProTact by Haartz Now Available for Tactical Applications

Monday, April 24th, 2023

New line of materials offers increased durability and versatility for military and first responders

Acton, Massachusetts, April 24, 2023 – The Haartz Corporation, a global leader in highly engineered and uniquely designed textile materials, recently announced ProTact by Haartz™ – a new range of coated fabric products for use in tactical applications.

ProTact is a multi-layer textile laminated together to form a superior product with all the qualities required for tactical vests worn by military, law enforcement, SWAT teams and other first responders. ProTact is compliant with the Berry Amendment.

“We understand the importance of strong, durable fabrics when used in high-stress environments. Our analysis has shown ProTact by Haartz offers a high tensile strength and proven durability when tested against flex and fatigue, fabric fraying, high-temperature laundering and high-temperature and humidity endurance testing,” stated Samit Sadavarte, director, business development – new markets at Haartz. “Our development of premier-quality material is drawn from decades of developing flexible fabric laminates and a deep understanding of application-specific performance requirements through our long history as a trusted supplier to the world’s largest automakers.”

ProTact laminates are compatible with high-energy laser ablation cutting processes which offer a lighter weight and more versatile replacement to the widely used Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) system. Laser ablation avoids the risk of fabric tearing and allows for attachment points to be placed anywhere on the fabric, offering flexibility for applying the webbing feature in more sizes, shapes and locations. The laser cutting process also makes it easier for the wearer to adjust their ballistic load carrier and to remove ballistic plates when they are not needed.

A broad range of colors and prints are available, including solid colors using solution-dyed nylon fiber technology and multi-colored prints that can be adapted to conform to multiple common camo patterns. ProTact is available for large scale manufacturers and smaller individual companies in the United States and Europe in standard material constructions of 500x500d, 500x1000d and 1000x1000d yarn structures.
