Carbondale, PA, October 7, 2015. Gentex Gentex Corporation, a global leader in personal protection and situational awareness solutions for global defense, emergency response and industrial safety markets has completed the acquisition of Aegisound, LLC, an established provider of products that significantly improve hearing protection, safety and communications in high noise environments.
Gentex and Aegisound will combine their world-class products, technologies and manufacturing resources to provide customers one of the most advanced, comprehensive lines of hearing and communications products in the global defense and industrial safety markets. The addition also expands Gentex’s contribution to the U.S. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. Awarded the contract for the helmet system platform and respiratory protection system, Gentex, through the acquisition of Aegisound, will now also provide protective hearing and communication products to JSF ground crew.
“This addition of Aegisound strengthens our hearing and communications offering, helping us to further expand in this category in both domestic and international markets,” said L.P. Frieder, president, Gentex Corporation. “Our combined products and complementary technologies promise to bring even higher levels of performance to our customers.”
Located in Christiansburg, Virginia, Aegisound employs approximately 30 people. Terms of the transaction between the two privately owned companies were not disclosed.

For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at a classic FirstSpear garment, the Squadron Smock. It was one of their first clothing items and this classic design remains one of my favorite jackets, years later. The shell fabric on the Squadron Smock is 330D by 3-ply 70D Taslanized nylon with DWR finish. Additionally, it integrates a gridded fleece yoke lining, 330D Cordura elbow reinforcements, as well as mesh interior pockets along the skirt.
The Squadron Smock features a total of 18 pockets, giving wearers a large amount of carriage capacity. The hood is sized to accommodate helmets, with drawstring and rear adjustments, and a wire stiffened brim. Two-way pit zips provide ventilation, and drawstrings along the waist and hem allow for adjustment to suit the wearer. The Squadron Smock also features scrim/camo attachment points along hood, upper back, and waist; 2-way main zipper with snap closure at bottom; and Velcro adjustable cuffs.
Available in Black, Coyote, and MultiCam.
