02-01-09 ITW MILITARY PRODUCTS GHILLITEX HARDWARE

Beginning February 1st, 2009, URBAN-ERT SLINGS began to phase out National Molding Hardware and began manufacturing our products with ITW Nexus Ghilli-Tex hardware from ITW Military Products. The phase out should be complete by the end of the second quarter of 2009. All ITW Nexus Ghilli-Tex hardware and National Molding hardware are 100% compatible. There will be an extremely slight texture and color difference between the two, but users will not experience any problems. The overall benefit to the customer will be the Ghillitex™ IR Reduction technology and the greater break strength. We will continue to use color matched hardware with our custom ordered webbing.
