I would think marketing "their" design to civilians would piss the Army off. There's no rationale for not doing it but the military do like to feel they have something special. In fact, I'm surprised that it's not on your contract.

Well done on the contract and well done to Defence for awarding the contract locally and not to bloody China!

Hi Dude, yes new products well under way, they need to get here first, then photo/model shoot, then do website, lots going on but working bloody hard, as a little looky here is one of the new jackets from the rapid range.

It is very highly spec'd external TPU armor (from italy) which is a new thing for us, as well as a heap of other high specs not found in most Jackets here.

this model is available in Red/blue/ black silver
available in about two weeks

Army use alot of Civilian gear.

If you want to survive in Wiberia you go and buy a civvy sleeping bag, in the Summer you use a Camelback..... with the adapter so it works with your S10 respirator mind you.

There are a few things that they use that are just COTS..... a term you see more and more in the military all over the world.

Commercial Off The Shelf.

Awesome Quasi, well done mate. So where/when do we get our sets then?

**wayne708** · 23rd July 2007, 11:37

Nice score Quasi, shouldn't take to long to kit out the whole of the NZ Army, but then there's the Aussies, and heaven forbid George dubblya' lot, but then they would want it in a desert camo

**gijoe1313** · 23rd July 2007, 13:16

And will they be able to make them in molten red camo...

Nods. I was thinking more about stuff developed for military but I guess if they don't pay for the development then they have no IP claims on it.

I would still clear it with them though ... no point in messing up a new and beautiful relationship.

Congrats on the contract. Nice to see the Army doing something for the locals.

Bloody rare these days for locals to support locals. Good show and all etc.
