Whiskey 5 – 215 Gear

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

Who
At 215 Gear, we take great pride in catering to the top tier Military and Federal Law Enforcement Units. Since 2007, we have the honor to design and purpose built equipment, as tough as the men wearing it.

What
215 Gear produces high quality kit, specifically designed for Special Operations use.

Where
The 215 Gear manufacturing and distribution headquarters are located in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

When
215 Gear was formed in the beginning of 2007. Our first legacy products hit stores in October 2007. Since then we have focused on providing our gear to America’s elite.

Why
215 Gear was founded by a Special Operations member, with numerous tours to multiple AO’s. Tired of poorly designed kit failing when it was needed most, 215 Gear was born. At 215 Gear, you will see products and ideas with innovation and design unparalleled in the industry. Most, if not all, of our products have been fielded by Special Operations personnel before you see it on the shelves. Our products are designed around current mission requirements, using firsthand knowledge of the task that gear was designed for. Many of our competitors use designers that have never served, let alone done the kind of jobs expected by today’s Operator. This gives our products a unique design perspective, because they are truly

For the Operator, by the Operator

215 Gear searches out the latest hardware and finest materials, combined with out of the box thinking, providing products that are lighter, stronger and faster than anything currently on the market.

By purchasing a product from 215 Gear, you can rest assured that product has passed the ultimate test, combat. If a product is on our shelves, we are saying it has been tested and is good to go. Item for item, we cannot price compete with companies who outsource everything overseas from their product packaging, to the gear in the bag. What we can do is source the best materials made, combine that with real world experience and produce a superior product. Made in America, for the Americans defending our way of life.

Whiskey 5 – Panteao Productions

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Who
Panteao Productions was founded by Fernando Coelho. Fernando was the founder of EOTAC, the tactical clothing company under the Freedom Group. Prior to that he developed the Woolrich Elite Series line of tactical clothing and founded Triton Cartridge, an ammunition company in NY. Rick Bravo is the VP of Panteao and Director of Photography. Rick also works for the Miami Dade PD. Prior to that Rick worked in the motion picture and television industry, including as a camera man on the television series Miami Vice.

What
Panteao produces instructional videos covering tactical training, competitive shooting, armorer’s training, and home defense. Additional areas are coming including precision shooting, dog handling, ammunition selection, documentaries, and more. These videos are available in either DVD format or as streaming video from the Panteao website. The streaming video is available via either a monthly or yearly subscription, in Standard or High-Definition.

Where
The Panteao headquarters is based out of Columbia, SC. The production crew are based out of Miami, FL.

When
Panteao was formed at the end of 2009. Video production commenced in July of 2010 and has continued ever since. As of September 1, 2011 we have fourteen video titles live on our site and on DVD with four more in post-production.

Why
Our goal is to provide a destination where you can receive the best training from the best instructors in their given areas of expertise. This ties back to the meaning of our name. Panteao is Portuguese for Pantheon, which means “a group of persons most highly regarded for contributions to a field or endeavor”. Our approach to the video content is a no nonsense, straight forward one-on-one training between the instructor and the viewer. It’s important to us that end users can absorb the information we are providing without any distractions. With more instructors being added and more titles coming from each existing instructor, we plan on growing the Make Ready series of instructional videos each month over the coming years.

Whiskey 5 with Kwikpoint

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Who
Need to communicate with someone that doesn’t speak the same language you do? That product you’re using not working the way it should and you need to fix it? Can’t quite remember what comes next from the training you had a couple of months ago? You need Kwikpoint, the leader in visual translation, visual instruction, and visual reference publications.

What
Kwikpoints are used by our military in a variety of settings, particularly the combat theaters of Iraq and Afghanistan. Kwikpoint Visual Language Translators (VLTs) simplify communication between individuals who do not speak the same language. Kwikpoint Visual User Guides (VUGs) and Visual Reference Guides (VRGs) allow people to better understand products, systems or processes with visual language rather than complex text and illustrations. Kwikpoint’s visual language content increases the effectiveness and efficiency of how people understand and retain information. Kwikpoint VUGs and VRGs offer an alternative to wordy, confusing, and oftentimes ineffective tech manuals and reference material. They contain easy to follow visual instructions; accurate, colorful illustrations with brief, supplemental text; come in a handy pocket sized form factor which can be conveniently stored and used during combat operations. With over 7 million in the field, Kwikpoint supports not just the military but also law enforcement, homeland security, the medical community, and first responders

Where
Kwikpoint, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, is a world-leading publisher of innovative, inexpensive, powerful visual instructions, visual language translation and visual reference publications. We sell our products directly through our web site (www.kwikpoint.com), GSA, and through a select group of Prime Vendors and key distributors.

When
Kwikpoint opened the doors in 1991 after our Founder and CEO, Alan Stillman, returned to Virginia after a two and a half year, 15,000-mile bicycle trip through 28 countries. His bike bogged down with phrase books and language dictionaries so he began cutting pictures out of magazines to communicate his needs visually. It was a simple concept that was the genesis of Kwikpoint over 20 years ago.

Why
Kwikpoint is committed to improving the quality of life for all by using visual language as a fast, clear, effective way to learn, understand and communicate. We are passionate about Increasing safety for our troops – whether collecting intelligence from civilians that don’t speak English, or making sure the protective vest is properly assembled and worn. Having a conversation with people that don’t speak your language is essential. Most instructions are frustrating. Training and understanding have a shelf life and quick recall can be critical in the field. Kwikpoints are easy to use and get the job done. Let us develop a custom publication that meets your needs. Call us and we’ll get to the point, Kwikly!

Whiskey 5 with Hyde Definition

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Who
Hyde Definition Ltd

What
Our team has a combination of over 60 years of camouflage expertise and we develop innovative, leading-edge camouflage solutions. We are particularly known for the PenCottâ„¢ Multi-Environment Camouflage Pattern Family. PenCott is the first commercially developed, advanced, hybrid camouflage pattern family to be available on multiple fabrics – including 50/50 NyCo ripstop, 35/65 Poly-Cotton ripstop, 500D Cordura and 1000D Cordura (coming in September).

In addition to the PenCott family, we develop bespoke camouflage patterns for clothing on behalf of clients. We also develop concealment solutions for land vehicles, watercraft, and structures.

Where
Founded and Headquartered in the UK, Hyde Definition established a US base on the 1st of August with the relocation of Lawrence Holsworth, Hyde’s Director of Marketing and Business Development, to Westport, Massachusetts.

When
A good camouflage pattern is not a fashion statement nor a popularity contest. It’s about reducing the risk of being detected, which can mean the difference between mission success or mission failure – and even between life or death That’s why we call the PenCott family of patterns Mission-Critical Camouflageâ„¢.

PenCott is the culmination of more than 5 years of pattern research, analysis, testing and development and is superior to other patterns because it features:
• a hybrid, naturalistic, omni-directional, multi-scalar, fractal-based pattern geometry
• an optimized color palette synthesized from real-world shades and tones
• high-difference boundaries and hypoacuitive color dithering that creates false edges and the illusion of 3D
• a micro-pattern for close quarter concealment, a midi-pattern to foil detection at mid-range and a high contrast macro-pattern for long distance disruption

The result is a truly unique pattern that effectively enables you to literally disappear into the background “noise” of the terrain and avoid detection for longer.

What Else
Our Director of Marketing and Business Development, Lawrence Holsworth, will be in attendance at the Soldier Equipment and Technology Exhibition at Fort Bragg, 30/31 August. Contact Lawrence at Hydedefinition.com for further info.
