Chemical and Biological warfare, as well as the risk of Radiation and Nuclear pollution, are all realistic threats and personnel need to be equipped with protective clothing, have access to collective protection, be able to decontaminate themselves and their equipment and have the capacity to deal with casualties.
 

UNIFORMS AND CLOTHING
 

As a soldier you need comfortable and durable uniforms, clothing and footwear to ensure you remain in best condition to operate. Many advances in technical materials and clothing in the sports and adventure markets have led to ever improving performance garments.

We use these technologies in their uniforms and clothing to ensure that they meet your operational needs. From outerwear to underwear and from headwear to footwear, we strive to provide the best quality products using the best and most economic materials and manufacturing techniques available to make sure you get the best kit available.

WEBBING AND PLCE

In today's expeditionary environment you may have to carry a considerable amount of kit, travel long distances in many types of transport and be prepared to deal with different operational and climatic conditions. Your kit needs to be carried in a variety of packs and bags and be readily available, dry and in good condition, when you need it.
 

We make a wide selection of backpacks, day packs, kitbags, travel bags, valises and other webbing and load carrying equipment to meet these requirements and can provide you with advice on the most suitable for you.
