CarInthIa Carinthia from Austria as usual have presented a really wide offer of insulation gar- ment and sleeping bags with G-LOFT synthetic filla- ment. But there was also a very interesting piece - the Schneetarnanzug, beweglicher Einsatz or Snow camou- flage uniform, flexible task which was developed as an- swer for request of German mountain infantry and spe- cial forces units which are operating in high mountains. It is not a standard snow overwhite layered on standard uniform or cold weather clothing but a dedicated out- er layer: GORE-TEX hardshell parka and pants in latest German winter camouflage which is a simplified version of standard 5-color Flecktarn camouflage. The number of shades was reduced to three: white background and green and grey blotches. This kind of camouflage cloth- ing is dedicated for units operating in the terrain where the snow cover is constant (high altitude Alpine regions) and works better and is more comfortable than another clothing layer on your back. karrImor sF The famous Karrimor SF from United Kingdom after a while of be- ing silent, launches new packs for 2017. To the current line up consisting of such models Sabre, Delta or Predathor in different sizes, the new Thor, Odin and Loki packs will be added. They will come in different sizes and with completely redesigned suspension system. One of the version will be just a flat bed with the same suspension system which could be used to carry an over- sized load. Last addition will be notebook transport bag designed for ruggedized computers such as Panasonic Toughbooks. The bag can be easily converted to a backpack thanks to hidden shoulder straps. nFm GrouP The Norwegian NFM Group still can surprise. Just recently they have opened the new production facility in Ukraine and during the Future Forces they have showed the latest development based on the requirements of Singapore land forces. The prototype plate carrier has completely modular design and can be easily converted to the load bearing vest without ballistic plates (the plates pockets are removable). The shoulder harness is based on NFM-specific shoulder yoke responsible for bulk distribution known from the THOR plate carriers. The main fabric is the NFM proprietary, strong, durable and light- weight ALPHA laminate with laser cut slits for pockets and pouches attachment. ALPHA is really strong, we have seen many big guys trying to rip the fabric with bare hands - all failed. On NFM stand there were also components of the 2 nd generation GARM combat uniform system REPORT
