The helmet includes an integrated front shroud compatible with GoPro camera mounts and a variety of headlamps, as well as offering the capability to mount night vision and thermal optics for rescue operations.

Integrated goggle strap retention

-Retention System:

–Open area on the crown allows for mounting of cameras and beacon lights, including the MOHOC® military-optimized camera, and Core Survival HEL-STAR 6® multi-function light
We invite you to stop by our booth #8311 to see the new M-216™ and all our other new items to include the EXFIL® GEN II Ballistic Helmet, which will be 20% lighter than our current model and the Team Wendy Transit Pack by Mystery Ranch.

Anteris Alliance: A Pillar of Patriots!
January 13th, 2017
Anteris Alliance: an organizational network of outdoor manufacturers and service providers bonded by their dedication to support our Veterans and First Responders and their families through the manufacture and market insertion of top quality products and services!
Scottsdale, AZ (Jan 2017) – Anteris Alliance, LLC, brings together a network of manufacturers and service providers that are integrally dedicated to the mission field of our military veterans and first-responders. By joining arms with other companies in a formal network, Anteris Alliance generates and builds stakeholder partnerships providing discounts to its members by reducing overhead and further driving the ability of give back through company growth.
“When a company dedicated to our nation’s servicemen and women has a built-in percentage of sales that goes directly to the charities that support them, it only makes sense that the more successful that company is, and the greater its sales, the greater its ability to support those foundations,” states Casey Betzold – CEO of Anteris Alliance. “We recognize the best way for companies to make a difference is to vote with our dollar bills. Our goal is to generate support from the ground up, fostering company growth and increasing sales and services through greater exposure, events, and networking!”
The Alliance, already comprised of a large association of companies both in and out of the outdoor industry, has much planned for 2017, starting with the Try & Buy 2017 Distributor event happening January 15-16, at the Pro Gun Club, Las Vegas. This event will bring together the Alliance of corporate members to exhibit their products and services as they are intended to be used to buyers and media members in the outdoor network. Future events, which will benefit veteran and first responder charities, and will be open to the general public, are already being planned for March, April, May, and June of this year with more expected to be locked in soon. Watch for the next big event planned for March 25 at the Cowtown Range, just outside of Phoenix, AZ, hosted by Anteris Alliance corporate members Gnat Warfare, PD Warehouse, and Riton Optics! Advance ticket sales will go live online at www.anterisalliance.com soon!
Anteris Alliance focuses on several ways to generate increased support to great vet and first responder charities:
1. Build and utilize the Alliance to increase corporate member growth allowing them greater opportunity to maximize their give back (which is already a part of the fabric of their company).
2. Host and sponsor events which have a charity component tied to the event with between 50-100% of the generated proceeds going to the event’s selected charities.
3. Individual member platform offered to any patriot who wants to be part of the mission, and by attacking the mission from a business perspective, greater monies will be generated throughout the year allowing the Anteris Alliance to simply sit down and write some great donation checks to end out each year! Individual memberships can be purchased by emailing info@anterisalliance.com and are being offered in either annual or a limited number of lifetime memberships.
Anteris Alliance has also launched, via a partnership with Birdman Media – Patriot Edition, the Anteris Radio Network, which brings both a video and audio show to viewers and listeners alike to introduce them to the great company network members, awesome stories, and Veteran and First Responder VIPs! A full advertising package via the ARN is included in the annual corporate memberships! The podcast and YouTube channels can be accessed via: www.birdman.media/arn
PR and media questions can be directed to info@anterisalliance.com.
Interested Patriots of all kinds to include Manufacturers, Service Providers, Dealers, and Individuals can visit www.anterisalliance.com for more details and follow Anteris Alliance on social media on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
