non so se è un repost, comunque mi giunge questa notizia:
Come molti di Voi sapranno, Eagle Industries è stata acquisita dalla ATK.
Ad oggi non è ben noto ancora come verrà utilizzato il marchio EI dal suo acquirente.
MA... dalle ceneri della EI, ovvero dai tagli del personale, è sorta una nuova azienda
la First Spear LLC

Il materiale utilizzato è ultra leggero ma robusto ed il design è ottimizzato per una massima ergonomia
he FirstSpear™ production facility utilizes the latest machinery technology and has been engineered for efficient, scalable, and flexible manufacturing.

FirstSpear™ design philosophy
The tactical equipment put forth by FirstSpear™ is designed to function interactively as a fighting system. By utilizing the equipment as a system, an overall weight reduction, weight transfer and operational scalability is achieved that is far superior to systems that fail to consider the ultimate challenges that the User must face in an operational environment.
What is integrated into the FirstSpear™ line is reflective of constant dialogue with Users that are on the very tip of the spear. This includes but is not limited to elite organizations within the US Inventory as well as those of other friendly foreign nations that also feel evil is worthy of punishment.
FirstSpear™ achieves this relationship by putting complete focus on the User’s needs and their overarching requirements. Each subcomponent of the overall system integrates field feedback from concept development, through rapid prototyping, and ultimately production and delivery. Impact to the overall weight, form, function and durability is considered in every detail down to fabric and hardware selection.
Platforms, like the Sleeper™, SICR™ & OAGRE™ are designed with direct input from professional Users; built to be durable, lightweight, and highly functional. FirstSpear™ incorporates performance driven features that execute both as stand-alone items or integrated into an overarching individual equipment and personal protection system. This system will lower overall weight, reduce bulk off the silhouette contributing to more effective signature suppression and take into account the manipulations required that will benefit operational enhancement.
N.B. l'annuncio mi è giunto agli occhi in forma più colorita... eccolo qua fra virgolette
"First Spear was founded by all of the guys at Eagle Industries who were worth a shit when ATK bought them."
