Galvion Demonstrates Helmet Sizing App at Rampart Range Day 25

Thursday, June 12th, 2025

During the recent Rampart Range Day in Canada, Galvion demonstrated their developmental Helmet Sizing App. Team members measured the heads of volunteers and then compared the suggested size with actual fit.

As you can see I had a great time and a bit of a laugh over the situation. Me and my odd-shaped head didn’t quite fit their model and I needed to size up. It’s data collection like this that allows them to dial in their models. Likely, they’ll toss my data as an anomaly.

At any rate, look for the sizing app, coming soon to a fielding near you.

Rampart Range Day 25 – Mustang Survival Rescue Swimmer Vest

Monday, June 9th, 2025

Mustang Survival created the Rescue Swimmer Vest as a low profile alternative to their popular Universal Swift Water Rescue Vest which some find too bulky for certain applications.

Additionally, the Rescue Swimmer Vest is intended for military and LE applications with its PALS field to accept pouches at both the front and back.

For flotation, it combines inflatable and foam (9 Ibs foam tuoyancy and 26 Ibs total buoyancy when manually inflated with CO2) and is intended to make swimming and performance in water when bladder is inflated easy. Additionally, an oral inflation/deflation valve easily adjusts buoyancy and tucks away when not in use

The yellow stitching was entirely a design choice as matches well with the dry suit seen above, featuring yellow and black panels. There’s another version with all stitching being black.
