UF PRO is now offering their Silent Warrior Sniper Suit on the open market. Designed to fulfill the requirements of professional scouts and snipers, the Silent Warrior Sniper suit consists of a camouflaged multi-layer garment system which protects against the ingress of insects, as well as providing concealment performance in the visual and near-Infra-Red spectrum.

Silent Warrior is cut looser than UF PRO’s STriker XT BDU system, given its use as an over garment, and can be easily adjusted to fit over a variety of base, insulation, and wet weather protection layers. Mesh-lined ventilation openings provide air circulation without leaving the wearer vulnerable to insects, dirt, or debris.

– Integrated mosquito net in the hood, which covers the whole head area

UF PRO recently posted an article on the design principles behind their UF PRO Knee Protection System. Utilizing the Richard Davies Axiom – Protection efficiency = Protection level x Surface covered x Time, the US PRO Knee Protection System consists of a flexible and compact protector that is inserted separately into a specially formed knee area of the pants, remaining in the right position without affecting comfort.

The Striker XT BDU line teased late last month is now fully revealed. It consists of shirts, pants, and jackets, which feature improvements over the original Striker line.

Striker XT Combat Shirt

Based on the previous Striker Combat Shirt, the XT model features a new cut and improvements to comfort and functionality.

The torso is composed of 100% polyester with abrasion-resistant knitware, and the armpit area is composed of a mix of polyester and merino wool for durability, comfort, and odor-inhibition.

UF PRO air/pac inserts in the shoulder area distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.

The cut of the sleeve and the slide-in elbow pockets have been ergonomically improved so that the wearer will always land on the inserted D3O elbow protection. Large upper arm pockets with Velcro, and forearm pockets with additional phone clasp allow for storage of important items.

Striker XT Combat Pants

The Striker XT pant is made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric (the SloCam variant is made from a 67/33 PolyCotton blend) and features a proximal anatomic cut with inserted stretch areas made from a resilient Schoeller-dynamic stretch material for limitless comfortable movement.

The XT pant has a functional pocket configuration:

– Large 2-way access side pocket with inner compartments and attached gear pocket
– Security pocket
– Large lower leg pockets
– Knife or magazine pocket

The XT pant also features a front zipper with two zip sliders, and a high belt area with double belt loops.

Striker XT Combat Jacket

The Striker XT Combat Jacket is a multipurpose outer layer field jacket, made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric.

The shoulders feature UF PRO air/pac inserts to distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.

The arms feature pockets on the upper arms with large Velcro area, elbow pockets for D3O Trio Mid protectors, and cuff adjusters.

Four front pockets with inner compartments and a back pocket offer ample storage.

Additional features include a stow away hood, waist draw cord, lower hem adjustment, and side vents.

Pre-orders are available with an introductory price of 5% off. Orders will start shipping on May 13th, 2014. The STRIKER XT line is available in PenCott GreenZone, SloCam, Olive Drab, and Black. No word yet on if and when the line will be available in North America.
