The ITS Hypalon Concealment Wallet is constructed from Hypalon, a synthetic rubber resistant to chemicals, ultraviolet light, and extreme temperatures. This material’s “tackiness” keeps the wallet in the user’s pocket, and will also keep its contents in place. The Hypalon Concealment Wallet is a bi-fold design capable of holding 4-12+ cards, with a rear currency pocket.

Aside from being extremely durable, the Hypalon Concealment Wallet also has two discreetly hidden compartments along the currency pocket, designed to hold physical security tools. These compartments are located on concealed fold-out flaps which blend in with the seam lines from the front wallet interior, and are bisected with stitch lines, forming the individual compartments to store tools.

ITS is offering an optional Wallet Entry Kit as a complement to the hidden compartments featured in the wallet. The kit consists of a selection of tools which are appropriate and functional enough to defeat common pin and tumbler locks, padlocks, multi-wheel combo locks, and escape from multiple methods commonly utilized in illegal restraint, such as commercially available handcuffs, zip ties, duct tape, and rope. Those tools are:

  • (1) Diamond Wire Blade
  • (1) Split-Pawl Handcuff Shim
  • (1) Quick Stick
  • (1) EZ Decoder
  • (1) Ceramic Razor Blade
  • (6) Feet of 188 lb. Test Kevlar Cordage
  • (6) Feet of Stainless-Steel Coated Leader Wire
  • (1) Flat Ti Bogota Entry Single Rake
  • (1) Flat Ti Bogota Entry Triple Rake

    ITS is also offering an optional RFID Wallet Sleeve. This sleeve interferes with radio frequencies and electromagnetic waves, disrupting the operation of any electronic device contained within. It is perfectly sized to fit in the rear currency department, and can hold a few credit cards and/or ID cards which utilize RFID technology to transfer data. The RFID Wallet Sleeve features include:

  • 3.75” x 2.75” RFID Blocking Card Sleeve
  • Single Layer of Conductive Silver/Copper/Nickel RoHS Compliant Material
  • Shielding Effectiveness of -70dB in the range of 30 MHz to 18 GHz
  • Interior Conductive Velcro Closure
  • 99.99% Average Signal Attenuation Achieved
  • Lightweight and Flexible

    The Camo Wars Heat Up – Crye Precision Sues Duro Textiles For IP Infringement

    November 14th, 2014

    On 12 November 2014, Crye Precision filed suit in New York Southern District Court against Duro Textiles, LLC claiming IP infringement. While we have no further details, we can only wonder if this isn’t a step by Crye to protect their IP in the interest of their current licensees. And, we must wonder if this move isn’t somehow connected to the unresolved royalty situation with the US Army. Crye Precision has not responded to requests for comment, however considering this is an ongoing legal dispute we would be surprised to hear from them.

    Certainly Inspired

    A little over a year ago, Are Armor introduced the Derma Plate Carrier which features this unique buckle from AustriAlpin. During this week’s SWAT Roundup in Florida a new buckle appeared from a different manufacturer.

    It’s not an exact copy, but it was obviously created to accomplish the same function. Certainly inspired. Barring any IP issues, let the market decide.

    November 14th, 2014

    In this week’s FirstSpear Friday Focus we begin to take a look at completely new products. This time it’s the Roo Panel.

    The FirstSpear Roo Panel integrates not only to FS 6/12 carriers but also many other Armor Carriers that feature PALS sections at the front of the vest. In the case that you use the Roo with a non-FS vest, it allows you to use 6/12 pouches. It’s a great way to they started before you make the full transition to a FS 6/12 carrier.

    Additionally, the envelope design can be accessed for Map Info Card or other flat storage. You can also use it with specific pockets from the Ragnar Series. Finally, The exterior has a full 6/12 mounting field the user can configure with a variety of pockets.

    DSM Dyneema Wins 2014 Worldsafe Award For Development Of Dynemma Force Multiplier Technology

    November 14th, 2014

    Safe America Foundation honors groundbreaking material for life-saving protective gear

    Stanley, N.C. – Nov. 13, 2014 – DSM Dyneema, a world leader in life protection materials and high-performance fibers, has won the 2014 WorldSafe Safety Product Innovation Award from the Safe America Foundation™ for the development of Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology. The award was presented to Hugh Welsh, president of DSM North America, on Saturday, Nov. 8 during the Safety on the Home Front Gala at the Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta. Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology delivers exceptional ballistic performance and the lightest weight and lowest profile for armor applications.

    Safe America Foundation™ Chief Executive Officer Len Pagano said this groundbreaking platform “will dramatically improve both personal body armor and vehicle armor used by police and military personnel worldwide. The life-saving protection that Dyneema® has and continues to provide is incalculable.”

    “We are honored to receive this prestigious award for our Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology, which is making a meaningful difference in the safety of law enforcement officers and soldiers,” said Welsh. “This innovative material is already demonstrating its superior ballistic performance, ultra light weight and enhanced comfort in protective gear. We take pride in leading the life protection industry with visionary solutions to safeguard those in harm’s way.”

    Built on the company’s Radical Innovation Platform, Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology combines breakthroughs in polymer science, next-generation ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) fiber technology and unique uni-directional engineering. This platform avoids the traditional compromise between ballistic protection and light weight, offering top performance in both areas. Compared to body armor made from other materials, protective vests engineered with Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology can reduce weight by up to 30 percent, while enhancing comfort and agility with fewer layers of material.
