AVON PROTECTION & TEAM WENDY
It might be surprising for some of you but in 2020 Avon Protection, the ma-
nufacturer of gas masks and other respiratory protection systems purcha-

In 2023 Team Wendy (now as a brand of Avon) unveiled a new generation
of lightweight ballistic helmets. According to the information there will be
three separate lines: Patrol (MICH/ACH cut) that features the front cover
plate for accessories and simple H-harness retention system, Mobile Field
Force (step-cut/gunfighter cut with added side rails) and The Specialist

CARINTHIA
The Austrian manufacturer of technical and cold we-
ather clothing and sleeping bags is expanding its of-
ferings with some brand new products. Carinthia will
be busy supplying Nordic Combat Uniform (NCU) cold
weather uniforms for Nordic countries, Switzerland
with MBAS cold weather clothing system component
and France. In the meantime designers found time to
develop a new Softshell Jacket SF, women's variants of
the MIG 4.0 and G-LOFT ULTRA Shirt, Pants, Jacket and
Vest. The latest product will be modular... poncho. The
CPS (Carinthia Poncho System) consists of the PRO-R
Poncho, which protects against rain, and the PRO-C,
which is a thermal liner to which a hood with built-in
mosquito netting can be attached. Think about woobie
on steroids.
