Ä production – a product must be done professionally, by professional tailors, in a mass, repeatable production cycle; Ä tenders– a company must be able to service cus- tomers. The SPECOPS products fulfil all that requirements and they yield only the comprehensive GARM system by the NFM Group. At the top of the pyramid cannot be complete without distributors of the foreign companies, such as the TYR Tactical or Arcteryx LEAF. But is it really a market option if you have to pay $1000 for a TYR plate carrier without ballistics? Coming back to the prices – genuine fabrics in A-TACS or MULTICAM camouflage patterns are manu- factured only in the United States. An industry customer needs the NYCO Ripstop fabric with the NIR treatment. One uniform, a jacket plus trousers, is circa about 6 linear meters or 7 yards of the fabric. The fabric costs $13.50 per yard, plus a cost of shipment – air cargo, (un- less we order more than 100 rolls), customs, taxes, plus transport and duties. The total amount should be multi- plied by a currency exchange rate. Sewing such a set by a good subcontractor in Poland costs about $30. Let's add a distributor and manufacturer margin, and it turns out, that such a uniform must cost on shelf not less than $250 for a set. For the SPECOPS a civillian market is secondary one. We had our distributors and buyers, now we come back to a model of an exclusive distributionship by the www. sprzętmilitarny.pl store, however our priority are custom- ers whose you will not see on the websites and who don't have Facebook account – simply, all the high-speed low- drag guys doing black ops blacker than your ops. SPECOPS Board now A role of the SPECOPS on-line for a few years is has been taken over by the SPECOPS Facebook Group. The group is a humorous safety vent for the community which sometimes treats itself too serious. The group is of a burlesque nature and it is dedicated to adults, matured and with a distance towards themselves. It is a place where you can call by name shooting instructors who put on their heads a plastic mesh. Not everyone is able to find himself in such an environment, and he is not obliged to do so. An entrance is reserved for the invited persons and the group is strongly moderated. Certain hashtags which originated on the forum of this group have already become legendary. The SPECOPS is still an on-line meeting place of people from different, often www.fragoutmag.com
