Spike Camp Wilderness Safety Supply Ltd

Description

Our primary focus being a manufacturer of paramilitary equipment has guided our philosophy on sleeping bag design.

Our shoulder strap designs have won praise from our customers for years. In fact, in the tactical sewing business, we pioneered the concept of making the strap wider rather than over padded. A concept that we are proud to say some of our competitors have now adopted as their own. While a thickly padded shoulder strap may look good or even feel good in the retail environment, in the real world of combat it has a disadvantage. Simply put, the bulk of a thickly padded shoulder strap amplifies the bulk created by body armor and web gear making bad situation worse. If the soldier can actually move his arms, to raise his weapon, his cheek weld has changed, due to the bulk of all the gear! At Drop Zone we found that by making the shoulder strap wider, spreading the load over a wider area, we could not only retain the comfort of a thickly padded strap, but increase the comfort factor without adverse change to shooter’s the cheek weld!.

Drop Zone™ is a trademark used to identify the Police, Military and Public Safety Products. The Drop Zone brand was founded in 1981 with the aim to supply people who work outdoors with the finest in clothing and safety products. In the 1990’s the Canadian Armed Forces built a large army base less than a half hour from Drop Zone’s doorstep enlarging the target market for Drop Zone products almost overnight.

The sewing of military and police clothing and equipment. We use nothing but the finest fabrics and materials. Our work place is modern, well lit and very clean. The management team is pleasant and respectful. Our jobs are typically short runs as we specialize in gear for special teams and research and development projects. Sewing enthusiasts please note that due to our research and development work for the military it has not been uncommon for our sewing machine operators to work with fabrics years before they hit the commercial market! What this means for you is that we do not have long, boring sweat shop style jobs where you are stuck like a mindless drone doing the same thing day in and day out. We have variety! Lots of variety!.

To solve this issue some manufactures have created insulated gloves that are “pre-curved” in the fingers and back of palm. The problem with this design is that the extra seams reduce “flexibility” especially in extreme cold as the material build up at the seams stiffens. Rather than a warm glove, the user is saddled with a glove that is expensive to buy and does not perform well as a glove or a mitt!.
