This topic raised itself in comments on the post: ‘Gear: My Operational Loadout: Chris.’ I did comment on the post itself: This hearing protection thing perplexes me a little. The advent of decent electronic hearing protection that actually amplifies sound, and thus helps you hear, is a real help. If you are in vehicles, wearing […]

I have had a trickle of nervous MVT SHIELD customers over the last few days, sending me emails. If you paid for it by PayPal or Check/MO then you are on the list and it is being made. Many completed MVT SHIELDS  have been shipped out already; the team are working hard to get over the […]
