Carrington Textiles Aligns All Cotton Fabrics with Better Cotton

October 7th, 2024

Adlington, United Kingdom: Carrington Textiles, a global leader in the manufacture of workwear, flame retardant and defence and security fabrics, has made a significant announcement underlining its commitment to sustainability by pledging exclusive support for the Better Cotton initiative with all the company’s products containing cotton.

The announcement was made on the occasion of World Cotton Day on 7th October 2024, an ideal opportunity for Carrington Textiles to highlight its commitment to developing workwear fabrics that not only offer high levels of quality and performance, but also support the production of responsibly sourced cotton globally.

What is Better Cotton?

It’s an initiative that promotes sustainable cotton farming practices to improve the environment and the livelihoods of farmers while ensuring high-quality cotton for consumers.

In 2019-2020, Better Cotton licensed over 2.4 million farmers from 23 countries across five continents. Together, these farmers produced 23% of the world’s cotton.

Better Cotton is sourced via a chain of custody model called mass balance. This means that Better Cotton is not physically traceable to end products, however, Better Cotton Farmers benefit from the demand for Better Cotton in equivalent volumes to those sourced.

How can this benefit customers?

When customers buy any of Carrington Textiles fabrics containing cotton, Better Cotton Credits or BCCUs are generated. These BCCUs can be claimed by a registered company directly on the Better Cotton Platform and used to communicate the responsibly source nature of the fabric’s cotton by using hang tags, labels and other marketing materials.

Neil Davey, Carrington Textiles’ Managing Director, announced this pivotal commitment to sustainability reflecting the company’s dedication to reducing its environmental footprint and providing customers with responsibly sourced materials.

Neil stated, “With 99% of fabrics from our FR, workwear and defence ranges containing cotton, this is a huge step towards our sustainability efforts, all of which we are proud to cover in our latest Sustainability Report. This initiative is expected to have a lasting positive impact on our products and the planet.”

Whiskey 5 – Ammo To Go

October 7th, 2024

Who:

For the last 20 years, Ammo To Go has been the go-to online ammo retailer, trusted by hunters and gatherers nationwide for fast, easy and reliable ammo shopping. Why should you care?

Because it’s easy to fake online credibility. Dozens of online ammo retailers claim to have inventory in stock, promise timely delivery, or keep your personal information sacred, but if you go on reddit, you’ll quickly find many disgruntled customers out hundreds of dollars trying to buy ammo from internet ri? ra?, that end up arguing with foreign customer service agents, who get paid pennies on the dollar just to respond 30 times with “I understand.”

What

At Ammo To Go we actually understand. We hunt. We shoot. We reply to emails from customers raving about our delivery times. We go to expos. We buy too much ammo, and then we complain that we don’t have enough. Why does all that matter? Because we solve pain points for customers that we ourselves experience. Not sure if we have the caliber you’re looking for? We probably have it. We stock 200+ calibers. Except .21 Sharps. That’s a strange one. We deploy countless man hours and sometimes thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars to deliver the most up to date ballistics testing data for our readers and customers. We even publish all that data on our blog, free of charge.

When

Typically 2-3 days. If it arrives on day 4, sue your mailman.

Where

Your house. Make sure you’re there to receive it. We’re not in the business of arming porch pirates.

Why

Why? Because varmints need shootin’. Game needs huntin’. And people need protectin’.

PROJECT7 Armor Revolutionizes K9 Protection With New Tactical Dog Vest

October 7th, 2024

PROJECT7, an armor brand exclusively distributed by Aardvark Tactical, is proud to announce the latest innovation in tactical K9 armor: the P7K9 Vest. Born from the PROJECT7 line of advanced tactical armor, this innovative platform is designed to provide four-legged tactical officers with the same industry-leading armor technology found in the full PROJECT7 lineup.

Representing three years of intensive research and development, the P7K9 Vest provides unmatched coverage, mobility, and protection for canine units. Developed in collaboration with dozens of elite handlers and tactical experts, the vest addresses critical shortcomings of traditional K9 tactical gear with its innovative biomechanical design. A detachable yoke collar shields vulnerable neck and chest areas without hindering the dog’s ability to move, bite, or search. The P7K9 includes structured ballistics and a contoured profile for maximum coverage. Quick-release buckles on the yoke pivot seamlessly with the dog’s body, offering flexible and adjustable protection. The P7K9 can be donned, doffed, or scaled in under 30 seconds, making it quick to adjust and ideal for protecting dogs in various high-threat environments.

Designed for real-world operations, the P7K9 maximizes coverage with a sleek profile that ensures safety in any environment. Stowable handles, concealed buckles, and optimized profile prevent snags and hang-ups, making it nearly impossible for a suspect to remove the armor during a mission.

“We are incredibly proud to bring the P7K9 Vest to market,” said Jon Becker, Founder of AARDVARK Tactical and PROJECT7. “From the beginning, our mission with PROJECT7 has been to deliver the best possible protection, developed in direct collaboration with the professionals who rely on it. The P7K9 is no exception. By working closely with elite handlers and tactical experts, we’ve created a vest that provides unmatched protection while optimizing mobility.”

Available in three colors and three sizes, the P7K9 Vest can be customized for a perfect fit on any K9, with adjustability to maintain that fit as the dog’s weight fluctuates. The P7K9 is made in America and backed by PROJECT7’s nose-to-tail 5-year warranty. This specialized product is exclusively available to sworn military, law enforcement, and federal agents through its exclusive distributor, AARDVARK Tactical.
