The week of SHOT Show is always busy in the tactical industry, as companies roll out their new products for the new year – from guns to scopes to ammo to bags to the latest in tactical gear and apparel. Here’s what Propper has in store for 2017.

Propper Kinetic™ Pant: Potential Unleashed

Kinetic

The next generation of go-anywhere-do-anything tactical pants for men and women is here in the modern and comfortable Propper Kinetic™ Pant.

Built with revolutionary NEXstretch™ two-way mechanical stretch fabric, the Kinetic pant is designed to keep you moving forward, ahead, in pursuit of your goals.

Features include unique durable and rugged ripstop material, gusseted crotch for ease of movement, internal gripper waistband to keep a shirt tucked in, ambidextrous pocket configuration, durable water repellent (DWR) and wider belt loops with badge/sunglasses holder.

“This a super versatile pant,” said Joe Ruggeri, Senior Vice President of Merchandising and Product Development. “It’s designed to hold up under the toughest conditions but is softer and more comfortable than traditional durable fabrics. Wear it on duty, to the range, the office, out to dinner – wherever life takes you. It’s more than a typical tactical pant.”

The women’s version is not just a modified men’s pant. It offers all the same great features but is specifically tailored through the hips and waist to fit a woman’s shape.

Beginning in late January, the Kinetic pant will be available in six colors: black, charcoal, coyote, khaki, olive and LAPD navy.

Women’s

A new year brings a new emphasis on women’s apparel, with a dedicated line of women-specific shirts and pants that are more than just modified men’s styles.

The next generation of women’s pants is here. Built with revolutionary NEXstretch™ fabric and cut for a woman’s shape, the Women’s Propper Kinetic™ Pant is designed to keep you moving forward, ahead, in pursuit of your goals, wherever life takes you. It’s potential unleashed.

Designed for women, the Women’s Stretch Tactical Pant is designed for enhanced movement, with a comfortable, stretching material and an action-stretch waistband. Nine pockets hold everything from your phone to your multi-tool. DWR (durable water repellent) finish protector repels stains and liquids, and our innovative “pocket in a pocket” design for secure added storage.

RipstopMade from our popular lightweight poly-cotton ripstop fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, the Propper Women’s Lightweight Ripstop Station Pant looks professional and is built for performance. A standard four-pocket design gives you storage for critical items, and a hidden slider waistband stretches with you as you move. Pair with our Propper Tactical Shirt to create a matching uniform.

Propper’s Women’s Uniform Tactical Pant gives you the tactical functionality you need in four standard uniform colors. Make tactical performance and everyday durability a part of your uniform without breaking the bank. With lightweight ripstop fabric, reinforcements in the knees, an easy-fit waistband and nine pockets, you can comfortably keep your gear by your side in every situation. Cut and tailored to a women’s form.

Stay focused on the task, not the heat. The ultra-lightweight Women’s Summerweight Tactical Pant carries everything you need and keeps you cool at the same time. Durable fabric wicks moisture away from the body while angled cargo pockets on the upper thigh offer quick access to your tools and supplies. Cut to fit a woman’s form. Additional zip pockets and nylon pocket reinforcements keep everything in place when you’re on the move.

Breathe easy. The Women’s Summerweight Shirt does, with a large mesh shoulder yoke that creates maximum airflow, cooling you down in the hottest environments. Durable, lightweight wicking fabric pulls moisture away from your body, while pockets on the chest and waist give you quick access to your supplies. Cut and tapered for a women’s form.

Need a tactical performance polo cut for a woman? Grab a Women’s Uniform Polo, the best value in women’s tactical performance polos and cut to a woman’s shape, making it the perfect shirt for an entire team. Performance polyester dries quickly and will stand up without fading, shrinking, or wrinkling.

Boots

Four new boots arrive for 2017 to enhance the already popular assortment of tactical duty wear.

Series 100 Waterproof

The new Waterproof Series 100 headlines the new offerings. Based on the popular Series 100 platform available in both 6-inch and 8-inch versions, the waterproof version adds waterproof leather and a 1000D Cordura® upper that can be pulled snug with the quick and easy NATO speed lace system. A special gusset behind the zipper helps keep water out while the triple density rubber foundation and an arch made from a durable compound will hold up to the rigors of fast-roping.

For a terrific value in an entry level boot, the Tactical Duty Boot keeps your feet comfortable and ready to take you into the toughest places with professional quality leather upper and high traction outsole, while breathable, moisture-wicking mesh lining lets your feet breathe. Comfort comes from an athletic performance rubber sole with EVA cushioning and padded collar.

Durable comfort and versatility are the trademarks of the WPX waterproof crossover tactical boot. Keep your feet dry and ready in the harshest tactical environment with rubber, molded toe cap and mudguard, 600D nylon mesh with waterproof backing and a gusseted tongue to prevent water from seeping in. An EVA-cushioned footbed with contoured arch support provides all-day comfort.

Body Armor

Propper International has expanded its comprehensive line of body armor and accessories for 2017 with the addition of new tactical vests and pouches for maximum mission effectiveness. In addition, they are offering faster turnaround on orders by stocking many of the most commonly requested products.

Inventory

One of the challenges of ordering body armor is the long lead time required. However, thanks to a special arrangement, Propper is now able to stock many of the most commonly requested plates and carriers to reduce turnaround time on armor orders.

Switch Vest

Switch

Scalable to any mission, the new Switch tactical vest offers the flexibility to equip the entire unit, from snipers to EMT, with one style of vest and provide everyone with what they need to get the job done. This low-profile vest can be worn slick under a button-down shirt or fully loaded over a uniform or BDU, offering more options than the typical plate carrier. Pouches inside the cummerbund hold mags, tools, medical supplies, whatever the mission demands, while soft armor inserts can slide easily into the side panels for added protection.

4PV-EC

Flexibility is the name of the game with the 4-panel EC (External Carrier) vest. Built-in badge grommets, placard loop, comm channels on the shoulders, and 4PV inserts come standard. The rest you build the way you want it, with triple kangaroo pouches, pistol/M4 mag pouches, even a set up for medical.

4PV-U

The 4PV-U (Four Panel Vest-Uniform) -- available this spring -- uses our innovative four-panel protection system in an outer carrier designed to match a professional uniform and an easy on/off design with built-in pockets and badge holder, the 4PV-U is as comfortable as it is professional. Made from the same fabric as Propper’s Lightweight Tactical Pant for a perfect match.

Critical ResponseCRITICALRESPONSE® Kit

For the first responder on the scene, the CRITICALRESPONSE Kit is a lightweight, low-cost, one-size-fits-all carrier that stows easily in the back of a patrol vehicle or EMT unit to be ready at a moment’s notice.

Pouches

From small and large pouches to the new kangaroo insert that holds both M4/AR and pistol mags side-by-side, Propper now offers a complete line of MOLLE-compatible pouches to customize any armor carrier to maximize your effectiveness in the field.
