Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

Velocity Systems has added Desert Digital as a color option for its products. After fielding phone calls and requests for the pattern over the last couple of years, Velocity Systems ordered up an entire lot of material of 500D Cordura as well as all the trimmings. Grey Group is currently stocking product, available for purchase and shipment. The new color is not reflected on the current Velocity Systems website, but look for a new Velocity website late this spring.

NTOA – Velocity Systems

Velocity Systems is well known for armoring humans but up to now few have known that they have put their expertise to work protecting K9s. Their new K9 armor vest was a challenge in design as well as execution. Not only did Velocity Systems have to model K9 physiology in order to conduct a tradeoff between protective coverage and weight, but they also had to ensure that the armor could be properly borne by the dog.

Consisting of 4 hard armor plates, Velocity’s solution was to provide two different sizes of plates. Weighing in at 6 lbs, the plate carrier can be worn independently by the dog or can integrate with other manufacturer’s harnesses.

Velocity Systems and Mayflower Research & Consulting Combine Forces

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Remember the old Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercials, “Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together”? Well, that’s exactly what has happened here. They’ve been working together for some time and finally decided to make it official.

Velocity Systems has acquired a minority share of Mayflower Research & Consulting, LLC. This acquisition will strengthen their ability to bring high-quality tactical gear to their extremely valued customers. Velocity Systems and Mayflower R&C have had a long-term friendship and a strong professional relationship which has led Velocity Systems to manufacture Mayflower products for the past several years and for them to collaboratively develop products together. The Velocity Systems patent pending SwiftClip® system, which is available on all Velocity and Mayflower vests, allows all of their auxiliary equipment to fit on all platforms, armor vests and plate carriers.

The synergy achieved by this acquisition will result in cutting edge highly-compatible products for the Warfighter. The compatibility and scalability of their products is second to none. Many of their valued customers are already utilizing this compatibility and their goal is to bring you much more of this in the near future. If you look at what they have already achieved together, just imagine what lay ahead. In fact, look for several new product releases from both Velocity Systems and Mayflower in the near future.

Mayflower Bringing Back Direct Sales 1 April

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Trying to decide what to do with that end of month pay check? We’ve got a great suggestion; buy some of that Mayflower kit that has been out of stock everywhere. If you are game, you’ll have your chance starting 1 April, 2011 when Mayflower, listening to overwhelming customer requests, brings direct retail sales back to their site. They’ll still support their full dealer network, but this gives consumers the opportunity to purchase products that are normally stocked at retailers.

You might be thinking that it has been awhile since you’ve seen anything new from Mayflower but rest assured, they have been working on specialized kit for certain clients as well as refining their current line. In fact, versions of some of those special projects will start migrating to the mainstream soon. In the near-term, Mayflower has converted all of their chest rigs to hybrid configurations featuring their Swiftclips. They can be used with a removable H harness shoulder strap or attached directly to Velocity Systems armor systems. For example, the 5.56 rig above is one of the new hybrid configurations.

Both Mayflower and Velocity Systems gear are Berry compliant. www.mayflower-rc.org

The Pro-Shop carries small quantities of their most popular products for those who are deploying on short notice or for those who are traveling through the Washington DC area and want to get their last fill of tactical “must haves” before heading out.

They also offer custom designed gear through the Pro-Shop, and anyone interested should make an appointment for a sit down design consult.
