ST. LOUIS, July 13 (UPI) -- FirstSpear, a U.S. tactical equipment designer, has announced a line of 60 enhanced load carriage solutions and personal protective equipment products.

This debut line is the first complete portfolio of the company's spectrum of warfighter equipment.

FirstSpear said its designs are produced with direct input from the end user and by developers who take into account specific mission needs, resulting in innovative, capability-driven products.

"By considering the entire system as a whole, we have designed a suite of products that work great alone but together allow the user to achieve remarkable scalability, modularity and weight reduction," said Jonathan Laplume, FirstSpear vice president of Strategy.

"With each new product release, FirstSpear will seek the input of the professional user to continue raising the bar in equipment comfort, accessibility and durability."

FirstSpear will launch its new product line Thursday and Friday at the ADS Warrior Expo East in Virginia Beach, Va.

ADS, Inc. is the exclusive distributor of FirstSpear products to the U.S. military.
