Trzin, 12.05.2016. UF PRO® introduced the new P-40 Summer gear consisting of the P-40 Tactical Shorts and the P-40 Shirt.
The P-40 Tactical Shorts incorporate all of the proven functionality of the P-40 All-Terrain Pants, offering you unlimited movement, functional pocket configuration and awesome wear comfort.
The pants are made out of breathable and durable Polly/Cotton ripstop material and Schoeller®-dynamic stretch material.
Additionally, the pants offer double belt loops, 7 pockets, dual front closure and additional stretch in the waist.
The P-40 Shirt is feather light, fast drying and thus extremely comfortable to wear in hot weather environments.
It features air/pac® inserts in the shoulder area which distribute the weight of whatever you carry on your shoulders and, in case you don’t need them, they are easily detachable.
Materials are a mixture of cotton and 37,5™ polyester which guarantees effective moisture management, odour resistance and UV protection.
Nuremberg, 05.03.2016. UF PRO revealed 7 new products at the annual IWA exhibition in Nuremberg. If you didn’t have the opportunity to visit their “jungle” booth in hall 9, here is some news straight from the UF PRO booth.
“Tough gear for rough weather.“ That’s the mantra for the new generation of Monsoon rain jackets, which were designed to offer extreme reliability and functionality during extreme weather conditions.
“Does 100g lighter gear compensate for less reliability and functionality? We don’t think so. That is why, during the design process of our new Monsoon jackets we focused on guaranteeing superb waterproof reliability, comfort and functionality, rather then saving grams and thus not including crucial functional elements, like the air/pac inserts or our Hood/Harness system“ said head of product development at UF PRO, Armin Wagner.
UF PRO is going to add 3 new jackets to their Monsoon rain gear; the more civilian styled Monsoon jacket, the heavy duty Monsoon XT jacket and the lightweight Monsoon Rain Shirt, which has been designed to be worn underneath a plate carrier.
“Our specialty has always been the designing of waterproof gear and with the new generation of Monsoon jackets, I really think that we are bringing a game changer to the waterproof garment market“ added Armin.
UF PRO also introduced their updated Striker XT combat pants and shirt, which should be available by the end of May. One of the biggest updates with the new generation of Striker XT pants is that the camouflage version is going to have the stretch panels also in camouflage. This was until now only the case with the Striker HT pants in MultiCam, where UF PRO combined the MultiCam NyCo fabric with the Schoeller-dynamic stretch material in SloCam.
A complete novelty to the UF PRO product range is the new addition to their Striker combat range- the new Stealth Smock.
“We wanted to design a smock, which would allow you to stow everything you need for a 24 -36 hour mission in it, without the need to carry an additional backpack or a chest rig. It was of course clear from the start that the problem isn’t going to be how to design a jacket with large pockets, but how to make sure the jacket stays comfortable to wear, even loaded with all that gear. That’s why we integrated a special air permeable load-bearing system into the jacket, which fixes the pockets onto your hip and thus helps to distribute the weight evenly.“ Armin reflected on the design process of the new Smock, which is going to be available in Flecktarn, MultiCam, PenCott GreenZone and RAL 7013 Brown-Grey.
UF PRO also introduced their new summer products, consisting out of the P-40 Shorts and the P-40 Shirt.
The shorts offer the known pocket configuration from the P-40 All-Terrain pants. The knee can be adjusted in length and can either cover the knee or stay above it.
The P-40 Shirt has integrated breathable mesh material in areas of high perspiration, air/pac inserts in the shoulder area and a high collar for extra sun protection and protection against abrasion in case of wearing a rifle sling.
UF PRO recently made a post on their blog on the Schoeller dynamic stretch material utilized in the construction of their P-40 and Striker combat pants. An excerpt can be read below:
“Is this stretch material going to keep up over time?“ We get that a lot when people first encounter the Schoeller-dynamic stretch material, which we use in our P-40 and Striker combat pants.
And you always get that suspicious look when the answer is: “Well each material has a breaking point, but in most cases, for example your NyCo ripstop material will rip way earlier.”
But where is the real breaking point of this amazing stretch material?
To those of you, who do not know Schoeller yet, they are a Swiss manufacturer of highly technical textiles. While Switzerland in general already has a great reputation for quality (the best watches, great ski resorts, and the best chocolate ever), Schoeller is a picture perfect example as well.
UF PRO recently put together a series of action shots of the Striker BDU and other gear in the MultiCam and PenCott BadLands camouflage patterns. The images aren’t for the purpose of a comparison test, rather a chance to show off the Striker BDU in the patterns.
Slovenian tactical clothing company UF PRO offers some impressive products, however they have been difficult to procure for the North American customer, until now, that is. Canadian company SEALS Action Gear has become the North American distributor for UF PRO, and will be carrying their full line of products in the full colorway UF PRO offers, including PenCott patterns. Last month, we featured a story on SEALS Action Gear and their adoption of PenCott patterns for several of their in-house designs.
Additionally, German tactical gear company Tasmanian Tactical is now offering various packs and load carrying gear in PenCott GreenZone, including, but not limited to, the TT Raid Pack MK III PC, TT 3 SGL Mag Pouch BEL PC, and TT Tac Pouch 4 PC horizontal.
Ljubljana, 26.06.2015. UF PRO® announces the new Striker HT Pants- the ultimate combat pants for hot environments.
THE NEW BENCHMARK FROM NOW ON.
With a special air flow system, state of the art knee protection, high-class fabric and component combinations and lots of other unique features, the new Striker HT Combat Pants have yet again set the benchmark for modern high-performance tactical legwear.
THE STRIKER HT AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM.
The Striker HT Combat Pants are equipped with a new and very “cool” air flow system. Mesh lined openings in the groin area, together with opening knee protector pockets generate a cooling air flow in your upper leg and groin area with every step you take.
THE UF PRO® 3-LAYER KNEE PROTECTION SYSTEM.
The Striker HT combat pants can be upgraded with two different knee pads:
The UF PRO® Flex- Pads offer reliable and comfortable protection against impacts and additional cushioning while kneeling.
The UF PRO® Solid- Pads offer protection against penetration of sharp objects.
Both layers are protected with a CORDURA® face fabric which provides extreme abrasion resistance.
UF PRO® HYBRID/DESIGN.
Three different fabric technologies are used in the Striker HT Pants:
The breathable and durable Schoeller®-dynamic stretch material in the back area makes sure the pants follow all your moves. For durability and abrasion resistance the knee and instep area are reinforced with CORDURA® fabric. A lightweight Polyester/Cotton or Nylon/Cotton fabric for the camouflage versions offers excellent breathability and wear comfort.
POCKET CONFIGURATION.
The Striker HT Combat Pants are equipped with a total of 14 pockets, and not only the number is impressive but their functionality, storage capacity and accessibility make this pocket configuration completely unique.
CONNECTING YOUR GEAR.
The Striker HT Pants can be easily and efficiently connected to your other tactical gear. For instance you can quickly connect your duty belt with double belt loops, your battle belt with extension straps and your boots with the boot loop.
COLOUR AVAILABILITY:
The UF PRO® Striker HT Combat Pants come in Coyote-Brown, PenCott™ Badlands and MultiCam®.
UF PRO has recently added Brown Grey as a color option for their Striker Field Shirt. The field shirt is made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric, with all loop material meeting NATO NIR requirements. The anatomic cut is designed for comfort when worn under body armor or battle vests. Dual access chest pockets feature Velcro closures to help prevent injury from secondary fragments, and offer good access to contents, even when wearing equipment or body armor. Big upper and lower arm pockets are spacious enough for equipment that requires quick access. Also included are pouches for D30 Trio Mid elbow protectors.
The Striker Field Shirt is available in sizes XS-3XL, and also comes in PenCott GreenZone.
Recently, UF PRO announced their new line of P-40 pants. The full release can be read below:
THE NEW UF PRO P-40 ALL-TERRAIN AND TAC-2 PANTS
Ljubljana, 17.04.2015. UF PRO announces the new P-40 All-Terrain and Tac-2 Pants, the perfect all-round tactical pants for various environments and activities.
LIMITLESS MOVABILITY.
The new P-40 All-Terrain and Tac-2 pants will follow even your fastest moves, while all functional elements will remain in their most ergonomic position. An anatomic cut, as well as a breathable and hardwearing Schoeller-dynamic stretch material in the back of the pants provide these excellent wear characteristics.
POCKET CONFIGURATION THAT WORKS.
The P-40 All-Terrain and Tac-2 Pants offer different kind of pocket configuration for maximum functionality and accessibility.
The P-40 All-Terrain Pants offer a two way access side pocket with huge storage capacity, inner compartments and an attached gear pocket with a security flap.
The P-40 Tac-2 Pants are specifically designed for operators who want full access to their upper leg pockets, even while wearing a thigh holster. The “tunneled” upper leg pockets allow you to loop the straps of your thigh holster underneath them and thus keep the pockets 100% functional and accessible.
PROTECTION YOU CAN RELY ON.
As with all P-40 Pants, also the All-Terrain and Tac-2 Pants can be equipped with UF PRO Flex Knee Protectors. A unique construction of the trouser legs makes sure that your knee protector always stays in place, without any adjustments.
The CORDURA reinforced knee and instep areas provide durability also on the long run.
THE PERFECT ALL-ROUNDER.
The new P-40 Pants can be used for different kind of environments- from hot, arid terrains to cold mountain areas. When it gets hot, the mesh lined knee-protector pockets can be left open and thus provide additional air circulation. For cold temperatures, you can equip them with a detachable WINDSTOPPER lining.
COLOUR AVAILABILITY:
The UF PRO P-40 All-Terrain Pants come in Coyote-Brown, Black and Brown-Grey.
The UF PRO P-40 Tac-2 Pants come in Black and Brown-Grey.
