Two years ago we proudly introduced features and concept of our VIRTUS Soldier System for the first time to the SHOT Show audience. This year our booth was no less busy.

Two years and 1,000s of fielded VIRTUS Soldier Systems later, we showed some of the VIRTUS updates and additions, as well as information about our SOURCE Hydration, Packs and Protective Vests product lines. Find a selection of booth pictures below. Get in touch with us here if you have any followup inquiries or if you didn’t make it to our booth.

SOURCE VIRTUS Soldier System + Product News

This year we present our SOURCE VIRTUS Soldier System as chosen by the UK MoD including the groundbreaking SOURCE DWD Weight Distribution System – which had its industry premiere at last year’s SHOT Show. We will have VIRTUS on display and demonstrations on request and by appointment only (get in touch to apply for a last minute appointment).

Discover our product news and the new colors of our best selling Patrol 3 day pack and Kangaroo hydration pouch (also available shortly in our SourceTacticalGear.com Online Shop).

From all our Tactical Hydration Systems, Packs and Footwear on display, one particular exhibit attracted special attention at our SHOT booth last month: For the first time we displayed the revolutionary DWD load distribution system our developers have been working on for years. 

In the coming months we’ll follow up in our blog here with more details about the unique new Dynamic Weight Distribution System (DWD). At IWA Show in Nuremberg (March 6-9) we’ll have the DWD on display as well. Please set an appointment for presentation and demonstration of the unique features and functionality.

The upcoming Shot Show is an early highlight in our trade show calendar. We will present our new and upgraded 2014 Tactical collection in Las Vegas. Here’s a preview for insiders.

Our brand-new 2014 gear is ready! In the coming weeks, we will have a booth in each of the two big industry trade shows in the US: The Shot Show in Las Vegas (focus on tactical gear) and the Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake. We’ll be presenting both our classics and our new SOURCE Hydration Packs and Hydration Systems. Here’s a sneak preview and a teaser for the visitors of the shows.

Introducing: Double D «3 day pack»

SOURCE’s New “3 day pack” reconnaissance/assault cargo pack is specifically designed for ballistic vest integration. A unique, removable “boomerang” shaped hip belt facilitates increased load bearing capabilities and makes the Double D suitable for any mission. The Double D 45L+ comes with the WLPS hydration system. Here’s a Double D prototype test-report we published last year in our blog.

Introducing: WXP Low Profile 

Our WXP™ is now Low Profile! With a new baffle wall, this next generation reservoir keeps its shape when filled for a smoother fit inside the pack. Upgrade your current hydration pack with a SOURCE low profile reservoir for pure water taste, Glass-Like™ bacteria resistance, and increased reliability.

Presenting: SOURCE iVis Hydration Packs 

The iVis received high attention even before it’s launch – it received the Australian Good Design Award. It’s a high visibility Hydration backpack incorporating the WXP low-profile, wide mouth water bladder. The Firefly, Blaze and AquaSource iVis Hydration Packs make sure you’re seen also at night. Ideal for search & rescue and other night workers that need to be seen. Here’s more on the iVis line products in our blog.

Introducing: New versions of SOURCE Classics

Next to the premiering innovations we showcase new versions of the Patrol 35L, Assault 20L and Commander 10L hydration cargo packs. We’ve also had a new camo fabric in the works for a long time. at the Shot we’re presenting it for the first time. Be there!

SOURCE will be exhibiting at the 2013 SHOT Show- January 15-18th, Sands Expo & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV, level 1 – booth #7106 (Law Enforcement and Tactical Products area).

We’ll display our 2013 product lineup including:

  • Armor integrated low profile hydration
  • CBRN hydration
  • Our groundbreaking Vehicle Hydration Hub System
  • NEW! Military socks and sandals with CUPRON antimicrobial and anti fungal protection!

Plus the global premier of our brand new developments, set to change the industry standard and give soldiers an enhanced ability to carry, hydrate and maneuver!
