Tomorrow is the Last Day for Airmen to Wear the ABU

March 30th, 2021

Thankfully, 1 April is the wear out date for the most useless utility uniform in modern history. Hot and festooned with cartoonish “camouflage” properties, the ridiculously named Airmen Battle Uniform is what happens when you put the Air Force in charge of ground stuff. Granted, with four colors, it was only slightly more ridiculous than the Army’s ill-fated Universal Camouflage Pattern.

The mandatory wear date for the operational camouflage pattern uniform is April 1. Airman Battle Uniforms will no longer be authorized for wear.

From here on out, the Air Force is back in the same uniform with its Army and Space partner forces, the Army Combat Uniform in the operational camouflage pattern.

Revision Announces New Collection of Eyewear Products to Benefit Military & Law Enforcement Charities

March 30th, 2021

ESSEX JUNCTION, VERMONT (March 29, 2021) – Revision Military is proud to announce The Honor Collection™, a new category of products where 20% of the proceeds from each purchase is donated directly to a select military or law enforcement charity.

The first offering of The Honor Collection is a special law enforcement edition StingerHawk® spectacle, featuring a unique, blue line-branded frame and corresponding microfiber storage pouch. Proceeds will benefit Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing resources to help the families and co-workers of officers killed in the line of duty, while also offering training and assistance to law enforcement agencies nationwide on responding to the tragic loss of a member of the law enforcement profession.

Revision has selected Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) as the beneficiary of the first Honor Collection™ product offering. 20% of all proceeds of Revision StingerHawk® LE Edition products will be donated directly to C.O.P.S.

“We believe in the critical importance of giving back,” said Revision CEO, Amy S. Coyne, “especially to organizations that directly benefit men and women in uniform and their families. I’m thrilled to announce our new Honor Collection of products, and our support of the law enforcement community with our first release benefiting C.O.P.S. There are so many great organizations supporting law enforcement, but we were drawn to C.O.P.S. by its mission, professionalism and the great impact they have on their community.”

“It’s been a rough year for our country, especially on our law enforcement heroes,” said C.O.P.S. Executive Director, Dianne Bernhard. “In addition to line-of-duty deaths, we’ve seen far too many officers impacted by COVID-19, which more than doubled the amount of survivors C.O.P.S. has added to our membership in 2020 and 2021. With the support of Revision’s Honor Collection, C.O.P.S. is able to continue planning our healing programs, conferences, and trainings at no cost to the survivor or attendee. The price they have paid is already much too high.”

In response to the recent urgent demand for laser protection, Revision has successfully delivered thousands of ballistic laser protective lenses to law enforcement around the United States. After an initial rapid delivery to the Department of Homeland Security, Revision received a dramatic increase of inquiries from Federal, State, and Local departments, and Individual Officers seeking protection from this emerging threat. Since last summer, reported incidents of laser attacks on law enforcement have skyrocketed around the nation leading to a variety of eye effects and injuries, including reports of partial blindness. While handheld lasers aren’t new, their widespread use with intent to harm is increasing, just as the demand for laser protective eyewear to prevent effects and injuries.

Revision’s StingerHawk® Law Enforcement Edition kits offer blue-line branded frame, adjustable nosepiece, choice of clear, smoke or FT-2 laser protective lens and branded microfiber pouch. All products exceed military-spec ballistic standards, offer world-class OcuMax® anti-fog performance, and optional integrated prescription correction solution.

The Honor Collection is available exclusively on the Revision website, and StingerHawk LE Edition kits are priced with special introductory offer of 30% off MSRP. LE Edition kits include a StingerHawk blue line-branded frame, an adjustable nosepiece, choice of clear, smoke or FT-2 laser protective lens and an blue line-branded microfiber pouch. All products exceed military-spec ballistic standards, offer world-class OcuMax® anti-fog performance, and an optional integrated prescription correction solution.

For seasoned service members, the Rocky C4T Trainer was a tried-and-true staple that many relied on as their day-to-day boot.

The boot is as advertised – lightweight, great ventilation, and comfortable. Designed for rigorous training, the game-changing Rocky C4T Gen 2 Boots allows you to move light-footed while providing outstanding support and keeping your feet safe under tough conditions.

The Rocky C4T has an 8” boot height and a rubber outsole that is abrasion, oil and slip resistant. They are durable because of the full-grain leather with 600 Denier Cordura and includes speed eyelets, 550 cord laces with NATO hooks, and they’re also water-resistant.

New Medical Video Series from Panteao – It’s Not Just About Firearms Training

March 29th, 2021

Columbia, SC, March 29, 2021 – Panteao announces the upcoming release of a new series of instructional medical videos. Panteao Productions teamed up with Tactical Medical Solutions to create a new series covering medical for concealed carry, hunting and maritime scenarios. The videos are taught by Dan Stout, the Training Manager with TacMed Solutions. Dan served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve and spent 25 years in law enforcement. During his career, Dan cross trained as a Paramedic and was the “Medic” on the SWAT Team for 14 years.  Dan spent a considerable amount of time as both a Sergeant and Lieutenant as part of the “Training Unit” where he taught at the Police Academy, Inservice Training, EMS Programs, and Advanced & Specialized Courses.  

“Having some level of medical training is becoming more and more important and goes hand in hand with firearms training. While medical and firearms training in video format cannot replace hands on training, it is a place to start your education process,” said Fernando Coelho, President/CEO of Panteao Productions.

Tracy Shank, Marketing Director for TacMed Solutions said, “At TacMed Solutions, we want to equip, train and protect those who find themselves in a crisis situation. We are pleased to work with Panteao Productions on a series of courses that can further that goal among those individuals pursuing their passions while seeking the know-how to medically treat themselves, friends and family members in a worst-case scenario event.”

The first video to be released will be “Make Ready with TacMed Solutions: Concealed Carry Medical”. In that video, Dan reviews phases of treatment, bleeding control, tourniquet application, wound packing, the basics of individual first aid kits, dealing with gunshot wounds, and more that – in the end – can help you and your family members stay alive.

After the introduction of Concealed Carry Medical, Panteao will be releasing Hunting Medical followed by Maritime Medical. These videos will be part of a new series devoted to bringing medical training and information to the Panteao streaming video audience.

The medical series will be available for purchase on DVD and digital download, or can be streamed via Panteao’s Make Ready streaming platform. The videos will be available online via a PC or Mac, on a smartphone or tablet using the Panteao Make Ready Android and iTunes apps, or on television with the Panteao Make Ready channel on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV.

Team Wendy Makes Waves With New Maritime Helmet Liner

March 29th, 2021

New EXFIL® Maritime Liner System Offers Water-Resistant Protection for Coastal Operators

CLEVELAND, OH (March 29, 2021) – Cleveland-based Team Wendy®, a leading global provider of exceptional head protection systems, announced today the launch of its EXFIL® Maritime Liner System. The liner features sealed pads made from Team Wendy’s patented Zorbium® foam optimized to dry quickly after routine exposure to water.

The EXFIL Maritime Liner System is a drop-in system offered in two configurations: one for the Team Wendy EXFIL Ballistic and EXFIL Ballistic SL, and one for the EXFIL Carbon and EXFIL LTP bump helmets. Designed specifically for Team Wendy’s EXFIL shell geometry, the liner is available as an aftermarket retrofit system for these four Team Wendy helmets. Each system contains front, crown and rear impact pads, as well as a fit adjustment pack with four (4) shim pads.

“Wet helmet pads negatively impact comfort and add weight, and every minute they take to dry makes a difference for coastal and underseas operators,” said Mike Romanchek, director of sales and business development for Team Wendy. “The EXFIL Maritime Liner doesn’t absorb water and dries quickly while still maintaining the protective integrity our Zorbium pads are known for.”

Both configurations of the EXFIL Maritime Liner retail for $99.95 and are available for purchase on TeamWendy.com and through authorized Team Wendy dealers.
