Original SWAT – Alpha Series – Where Tactical Meets Poweful

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019

MORRISTOWN, TN – Original Footwear, the leading value-minded tactical footwear manufacturer, is proud to deliver designed and engineered for the next generation elite operators and service professionals – the Alpha Series.

Alpha Fury boots are not your typical line of tactical boots. These boots are equipped with a lightweight, dual density EVA midsole with shock absorption zone for fatigue control.

With the comfort and flexibility of an athletic shoe, the boot still maintains the tried and true reliability and functionality of a diligent tactical boot. Another key element of the Alpha series is our custom molded thermoplastic heel counter and toe box. This helps provide immediate ease and protection. This offers 3 different styles: The Alpha Fury 6-inch, The Alpha Fury 8-inch, and the Alpha Fury 8-inch side zip.

“We are so thrilled to be offering a new series like none before,” said Kevin Cole, Original S.W.A.T. CEO and product developer. “No competing product comes close in terms of features, agility and price. The Alpha boots are built for comfort and performance first. We removed the stitch construction in the forefoot to give you one of the lightest boots on the market while still retaining our known tactical boot protection.

The Redback Company – Meet the Ambassadors

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019

The Redback Company is lucky to work with two great Brand Ambassadors. Glen Steyn and Piers Hallihan.

Glen Steyn (@glen.steyn)

Glen is a former Royal Marine and member of the Special Forces Support Group. Last year he, and another Royal Marine, walked the length of the Orange River in Africa completely unsupported. A journey of 2500 km over 97 days.

Glen is currently working with Veterans For Wildlife on anti-poaching operations and Ranger training in South Africa and Namibia.

Glen believes passionately in conservation and is dedicated to using his skills and training to end poaching in Africa.

When he isn’t treating the wildlife to his supermodel good looks he lives in Johannesburg in his native South Africa.

Piers Hallihan (@speleotrog)

Joining Glen is our second Brand Ambassador Piers Hallihan.

Piers is a consummate outdoorsman. Regularly to be found on top of or under the Welsh Hills as a keen mountaineer and caving enthusiast. Piers has been a Scout Leader since the mid-90s having joined as a youth in the early-80s. As a Scout Mountain Leader, he ensures that a new generation of young people is learning to love the outdoors.

He is also a long-standing member of South & Mid Wales Cave Rescue Team (http://smwcrt.org/j32/), using his caving skills to help others.

When he is not out and about being an outdoor god, Piers loves to spend time with his wife and children. He is also an accomplished photographer (check out his work at his website) and plays a mean trombone!

Piers says:

“Having spent time in the mountains with Ben and the Explorers who inspired the Redback brand, I’m flattered to be invited onto the team. Redback has a great ethos, some awesome product lines and some brilliant ideas for the future!”

The Redback Company is looking forward to working with Piers, alongside Glen, to develop new products, put prototypes through the wringer, and show why Redback Company products are worth buying.

You can check out his adventures on Instagram @speleotrog

SHOT Show, Las Vegas, NV. MOHOC, Inc., creator of the world’s first military-optimized helmet cameras, today launched LASOTM, a WiFi-based Tactical Video Transmitter to livestream video from MOHOC® Cameras to teammates and command.

Small, rugged and easy-to-use, LASO™ is a two-part booster system that extends the MOHOC® Camera’s existing WiFi streaming distance up to 10 times the stand-alone camera (line-of-sight up to 200m/650ft). The operational benefits for real-time situational awareness include EOD, room clearing, K9, riot control, surveillance, and training.

MOHOC, Inc. Vice President of Product Development, Dan Fuhrman, commented “Since pre-launch at SOFIC and Eurosatory in 2018, tactical operators have successfully deployed LASO™ beta-test units. Thanks to their feedback, the product is now ready for the mass market. As MOHOC’s first Tactical Video Transmitter, LASO™ represents our commitment to pioneer live-streaming video technology specifically developed for defense and law enforcement.”

LASO™ is a rapidly deployed system that requires nothing more than powering on and opening the app. Cable-free and body-worn, LASO™ consists of a transmitter unit that accompanies the operator with the MOHOC® Camera, and a pre-paired viewer unit that stays with those watching the video on phone or tablet through MOHOC’s iOS or Android app.

Launching now at SHOT Show (booth 7110), LASO™ is available for immediate purchase (MSRP $499) at www.mohoc.com or from authorized MOHOC dealers.
