Former Israeli Special Forces member talks about UF PRO gear

hey guys we are in IWA 2017 my name is Ellie and Portugal I'm a former IDF Special Forces and today I'm going to talk with you about the structure exceed we're going to talk about it more from an experience point of view and not like the casual you know marketing stuff logistics about it okay we're going to sell first of all maneuverability one of the most important things when it comes down to equipment because you know I don't want to buy something that's going to limit me at some point I want to buy something that will work with my body that will cooperate with my movement and will be flexible to my needs ok let's talk about a stretch material the majority of the stretch material design of the market are weak and placed in the wrong places of depends however in the structure exceeds all the way around first of all the stretch material is exactly in the pelvic area to allow you maximum flexibility when it comes down to climbing or moving around because remember mobility equals survivability the durability of the fresh material is just insane I've used my fence for over two and a half years and nothing gets ripped nothing is damaged nothing is expended or whatever everything is in its natural form and this is reading this is pretty amazing ok let's talk about the knee protection not so many people think about it but the knee protection is one of the most important things when it comes down to equipment why because I want to always remain protected what you're for did was they concealed the protection of your knees inside the fabric it means nothing is exposed why one because of durability second because of noise for example the traditional methods are plastic which means if I'm going down or kneeling position in CQB settings or in a forest always there will be a noise always it will be like fact people will hear them there so in the US for configuration the entire prediction is behind the Cordura now essentially what we're going to have inside the compartment of the protection is what we call it that stack which looks like this it's quite flexible it moves with with your legs nothing is limiting and then on top of it and this pouch over here we're going to put an additional layer of protection wise not to allow any object such as branches or sharp Grossmont out for example to penetrate through or whatever all in all it's a great solution not only for just protection on the kneecap but also oh the kneecaps for example if you're running into into a room and you're focused on your targets and there are stuff on the ground like you know cheers and degrees or five systems like this is going to really protect your chin their bone and yeah it's just great awesome so when it comes down to equipment some guys are getting totally emotionally attached to their brands or plate carriers or carbines but for me to be different every time when I buy a product whether its technical outdoor just civilian I'm looking into the purpose behind a division Deanna's or the mindset and you push just about that everything in their design is Purpose Driven it means that literally everybody every stitch here has a meaning first of all one of the things I really like is the extra both loops that we have here they'll all be in flexibility when it comes down to exploring or attaching or it or get attaching stuff on the go for example this would be my contact then I always used to secure their like carbine with chem-lights because it's real easy to access it just to hook it around it and close another great thing with it is and I agree this one that in the field after like two weeks of just being in the field we have equipment it can happen that prove the belt loop for free even getting snatched away and it's always nice to have an extra in cases that happens to maintaining Riddler belt independence in addition to that another thing that I find really great and that just shows you how much you're putting into a design and development of the product which with reality context is the following thing and that is the good hook the good hook allows me to maintain grip of defense in relation to my boots regardless of my position in a tactical contact it basically means that I can lay down in a overwatch position in the forest it might not the rifle for the next 24 hours and my pins are not going to come up and expose my skin to bugs or anything like that it might sound a little bit like a marketing trick but trust me that's after 24 hours you're going to recognize how uncomfortable it is when your friend starts to go up up and house and all these degrees and stuff start to get into your shoes in the air bags everywhere another really cool thing by the way that I really like about expense is the pocket so the packets are designed in a way that I can access regardless to my body position I can be sitting down in a helicopter in the car in the boat or whatever and I can always access my pocket from here without moving my body too much the guys who were flying in black ops know we don't have so much space around us in addition to that of the packet are not too tight but from the other hand that was too wide so it's a very good balance we'll use and you can really see how much thought is rotting into this design how much mindset really is and that's for me why director XE is literally a force multiplier because it's not just clothing is not just a piece of pants but it's literally a equipment that's connection to my body to my performance to my mission okay guys so we talked about a purpose-driven product product a test they have sometimes the mindset behind it and not just a jacket or pen so let's talk about the still smoked by us broke it is one of my favorite products out there not because the same brands but because it just has a serious black [ __ ] it's jacket that just works it just stands exactly what it is so just to put you guys in perspective the rigorous math of definition those there in the German military is that they must be capable of carrying up to 15 kilogram worth of equipment of course in reality we tend to push more stuff into it um without being said when I tried it once the Bundeswehr typical smoke I figure it out they were not so comfortable and you know it's all just falling down and it's just seconds so comfortable however the EF bra they overcome this problem by thinking by developing and what they did was a very interesting solution I want to show you real quick the small cast technically a belt around a way an depending on the top that allows Marx to maintain of a certain level of balance it means that instead of everything just flopping around making noise or just making that stain on my lower back everything is just laying down and controlled on a belt around my waist basically in addition to that what you were did was they made everything way more adjustable that means I can adjust the size of the bell for example I want it to be above my hip because I don't want all this way to go down then I can just close the belt doesn't matter of my side in addition to that they place the pouches on molas which gives me obviously a freedom of placing a house either here and there and speaking of you know a thought or a purpose dreaming product another thing that is really cool is this little thing now it's a little thing but also if you've been in the field especially during the winter and they were wearing gloves you were gonna you can appreciate it you all know how [ __ ] it is to take a glove and try to reach other pocket or that button or whatever but what you were did was they use the shock cord as an attachment point for the bottom that means the only thing I need to do is pull it out or to just lock it in that's it obstruct directs depends which today you for presents their second generation which is the way most grooved model of the first one and soups most decadent but there is another thing that I want to say and that's really important that seems like some kind of the messages regardless to everything it just said when you buy equipment when you buy a car barn and plates carrier shoes whatever just think whether it's going to give you a mobility or not because mobility equal survivability and without mobility you just limit it doesn't matter how life can you place carrier or our time it is or how much supposing like in a Brazil is you can move around with it your debt think about it as you can also be the number one aspect of all diaspora that older products are designed in a way that allows me to move be more about to be dynamic doesn't matter of my stance my position right now always accessible always there through [Music]
