GEAR ON TEST<br />
CANNAE PRO CLOTHING<br />
US Brand Cannae Pro are fast becoming known and<br />
respected for their packs and bags, but they also make<br />
some cracking clothing. The team at <strong>PMCI</strong> got their<br />
hands on it and took a very close look.<br />
Cannae Pro you may well ask, who are they, where have<br />
they come from, and why should I be interested? Valid<br />
questions all which I’ll endeavour to enlighten you on.<br />
Cannae Pro Gear is now one of the fastest-growing<br />
tactical brands in the USA, producing superior quality gear,<br />
apparel and accessories. Based in Long Beach, California<br />
Cannae Pro works with active operators from specials<br />
operations units, law enforcement, first responders,<br />
and enthusiasts who specialise in the tactical, hunting,<br />
and active/outdoor markets to develop a cutting-edge,<br />
practical and diverse product line.<br />
Cannae Pro Gear was founded by Robert Hollander,<br />
Chairman and CEO, a noted brand builder who has created<br />
and successfully launched numerous products, including<br />
those for the automotive industry and NASCAR, in addition<br />
to his ground breaking marketing of the 1996 Summer<br />
Olympics in Atlanta. Cannae’s experienced team is led<br />
by the company’s COO, Andrew Work, who has built an<br />
international reputation for product development, sales,<br />
and merchandising of consumer products ranging from<br />
outdoor, tactical, extreme sports, and lifestyle accessories.<br />
Named for the famous battle at which Hannibal defeated<br />
a vastly superior Roman force in 216 BC (historians consider<br />
“The Battle of Cannae” one of the most brilliant military<br />
victories ever!) Cannae Pro’s stated mission is to provide<br />
the best possible products that they possibly can.<br />
RANGE READY!<br />
Although you might think that the gear is the high point of<br />
what’s on offer from Cannae Pro I’d like to introduce you<br />
to their excellent clothing range. It’s a tight, meticulously<br />
thought out collection that right now amounts to just<br />
six items, Operator Tactical Polos both long and short<br />
sleeve, the Centurion Performance Pullover and Rig Fleece<br />
Performance Pullover, a superb Battle Ready Tactical<br />
Hoodie, and last but by no means least the Shield Soft<br />
Shell Jacket.<br />

jacket which has been designed for the professional user.<br />
Made from water and wind resistant Poly Soft Shell with<br />
a bit of elastic makes this a lightweight, all-weather jacket<br />

to “move and groove” in extreme situations.<br />
Features include an easy-entry chest zipper pocket,<br />
wide and deep abdominal side zipper pockets for heavy<br />
objects/concealed carry, side zip openings for side holster,<br />
generous sized inside pockets, and an easy-access left arm<br />
zipper pocket. In addition, there are patch fields on both<br />
arms to customise your ID or team patches, and velcro cuff<br />
straps help keep the heat in and the cold out.<br />
The Battle Ready Full Zip Hoodie is the ideal tactical hoodie.<br />
Made from cotton, poly fleece and a little bit of elastic,<br />
this lightweight tactical hoodie provides soft and durable<br />
warmth with the flexibility to manoeuvre in extreme<br />
