History and development of the UF PRO brand
The UF PRO brand started in Slovenia on the foundations of UNI&FORMA, which was established in 1997. UNI&FORMA focused on the production of clothing for large organisations, including the Slovenian armed forces, police and customs services. However, after almost two decades of operation, the company began to adapt its products to the needs of smaller military units and security services, which required even higher quality and durability from its products. The result was the creation of the UF PRO brand, which quickly gained popularity thanks to its use of innovative solutions, modern technologies and unique features of tactical clothing.
UF PRO tactical clothing - who is it for?
UF PRO branded clothing is a proposition for elite military and law enforcement units, among others. All products offered by the company are developed based on extensive research, testing and valuable feedback from those operating on the front line. When members of the world's top military and law enforcement units are looking for clothing that will not let them down in critical moments, they often turn to UF PRO products.
However, UF PRO is not limited to the military and law enforcement sectors - the garment is also designed for outdoor and survival enthusiasts. That's because their products are characterised by durability and practical features such as numerous pockets, membranes and ventilation systems that provide comfort and protection in the field. It is worth noting at the same time that many of the products offered by the brand are EDC garments that can be successfully worn by anyone in everyday, urban conditions.
Technologies and patents used in UF PRO clothing
The UF PRO brand is clearly distinguished in the market by its use of advanced technologies and innovative patents. For its clothing, the company uses moisture-wicking fabrics, durable and flexible materials that do not restrict movement, as well as many proprietary solutions.
Technologies and patents used in UF PRO trousers
Flexible SCHOELLER® panels
UF PRO equips the trousers with stretch side panels located at the sides of the waist. Thanks to these, the trousers adapt better to the figure, making them more comfortable to wear, especially during intense physical activities.
Innovative WAIST/FLEX system
The waist with Waist/Flex system consists of stretch side panels. This allows the trousers to adapt to the body when jumping, crawling or running.
BOOT HOOK shoe hooks
Hooks located on the trouser legs allow them to be attached to the laces. This prevents the legs from sliding or rolling up when walking, kneeling, running or crawling.
5-position height adjustment of inner knee pads
The Striker XT Gen.3 trousers feature a five-step knee height adjustment, which is discreetly concealed in the side pocket. This allows the protectors to be precisely adjusted to suit dynamic movements during tactical tasks.
WINDSTOPPER® LINING
Select models of UF PRO trousers are compatible with the WINDSTOPPER lining, which can be inserted into the trousers to convert them from summer to winter.
FLEX/ZONE technology
It is a system consisting of elastic panels placed in key areas of the garment. The panels are located on the knees and buttocks. This solution contributes to increased freedom of movement during intense activities. Flex/Zone also allows the thermal insulation properties to be maintained in areas of the garment that stretch.
Technologies and patents used in UF PRO jackets
AIR/PAC® inserts built into the shoulders
Selected models of UF PRO sweatshirts and jackets feature inserts in the shoulder area for extra protection and comfort. They absorb the weight of a rucksack or tactical waistcoat and insulate against cold air.
System HOOD/HARNESS®
This is a state-of-the-art hood adjustment system. It consists of adjustable straps and Velcro that allow the hood to be precisely sized to fit the wearer's head.
INSTRUCTIONS HOOD/HARNESS® - step by step
Step 1
Locate the four Velcro®-covered straps attached to the flaps inside the Hood/Harness® hood and separate them. |
Step 2
Flip the Hood/Harness® onto your head and pull the bill down to about the middle of your forehead, to just above your ears, and midway to the back of your head. If it droops to your neck, tighten the straps and recheck the fit. |
Step 3
Adjust the two Velcro® straps at the rear of the harness to closely fit around your head, but not so close a fit that you have trouble taking off the hood or putting it back on. |
Step 4
Lift the four flaps on the Hood/Harness®. |
Step 5
Pull the hood over your head, feel around inside the hood to find its Velcro® straps, grasp the straps, and press them onto the flaps of the Hood/Harness®. |
Step 6
Finely adjust the connection of the four Hood/Harness® flaps and the hood’s Velcro® straps. If you skipped optional steps 4 and 5, align the harness’s bill and the hood’s visor, then connect the straps and flaps. |
G-LOFT® insulation
UF PRO tactical winter jackets are equipped with G-LOFT® insulation. This material combines the properties of natural down and synthetic fill. It is very light, warm, breathable and effectively wicks away moisture.
Lining sewn from COCONA 37.5 fleece
The individual models of the UF PRO jackets are equipped with Cocona 37.5 microfleece, which contains natural, active molecules that absorb and wick away moisture, accelerating the evaporation of perspiration and reducing the drying time of the garment.
SELFPACK® pocket
Selfpack is a special pocket located inside selected UF PRO jacket models. It allows the jacket to be folded into a small pack for easy transport and storage.
Technologies and patents used in UF PRO sweatshirts
LIZARD/SKIN fibres
UF PRO sweatshirts use a modern weave of polyamide and Lyocell fibres, which have been reinforced with ceramic particles. This makes the sweatshirts highly stretchable, resistant to mechanical damage, excellent moisture wicking, as well as being quick-drying and flame retardant.
Ventilation zips at the top of the sleeves
The UF PRO sweatshirts feature ventilation zips along the shoulders, which are great for intense activity. When it gets too warm, simply open them for better ventilation.
3-step collar fastening
The three-stage collar system means that it can be fully unzipped for better ventilation, closed for protection against cold and wind, or half unzipped.
