Being SEALFIT is more than just a sculpted physique; it is a way of life, state of mind and a way of orienting oneself in the world. To be SEALFIT is to embody character traits like honor, courage, discipline, integrity, responsibility and leadership.

SEALFIT was developed by Navy SEAL CDR Mark Divine for the unique and specialized needs of elite and industrial athletes such as special operations forces, first responders and life-long warrior-athletes. These men and women rely on their bodies to work at peak performance over long periods of time, while maintaining an unconquerable spirit and unwavering mental toughness. At SEALFIT we share this passion and knowledge with all who seek this way of life.

Extreme Outfittersoriginally opened in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1997, with a simple premise that the heroes of this country should get great gear – presently from roughly 300 manufacturers that include Blackhawk, Granite Gear, 511 tactical, Bates, Converse and Surefire.

The military veteran owner worked closely with the Special Operations community while on active duty and after entering the civilian world sought to provide a commercial off-the-shelf availability of high quality equipment at a fair and reasonable price in a timely manner to outfit the service member prior to departure on deployment.

Tim Leatherman, a 1970 mechanical engineering graduate of Oregon State University, and his business partner, Steve Berliner, formed Leatherman Tool Group in 1983 to sell Leatherman’s first patented multi-tool prototype, called "Mr. Crunch" while in development.

Leatherman was inspired to design a "Boy Scout knife with pliers" while he and his wife traveled Europe and the Middle East in 1975, often attempting to use a simple pocketknife to repair their repeatedly malfunctioning car and leaky hotel plumbing. He spent several years perfecting the "Mr. Crunch" prototype and received his first patent in 1980. After additional refinement, Leatherman’s first product was introduced in 1983 as the Pocket Survival Tool (PST) and initially sold through Early Winters and Cabela’s mail-order catalogs.

Today, Leatherman produces 46 products sold in 82 countries, with U.S. market share estimated at 55 percent.

In 2003 Reactor Watches set out on a mission to design a line of sport watches that would exceed the demands of the action sports athlete, while creating a style uniquely different from the norm. In short, we wanted to push well beyond what the watch industry had to offer and create a product that would truly set a new standard. Bold components, uncompromising quality and unconventional styling have combined to create REACTOR.

REACTOR watches are designed to meet, or exceed, demanding Swiss standards. Cases are forged from solid stainless steel. Multiple O-ring seals and water-tight screw-down crowns are used throughout. To ensure that REACTOR could survive the decidedly non-sedentary lifestyle of our target customer, we developed new standards. Swiss sapphire crystals gave way to the more impact-resistant hardened mineral glass. The delicate precision of a Swiss movement gave way to the robust accuracy of Japanese quartz. An entirely new case-to-band fastening system was devised, to keep these watches firmly in place during the worst unplanned events. REACTOR truly represents the best of what the world of watches has to offer.

Tactical LEDs was formed in 2007 by two police officers in south eastern Pennsylvania. Since the late 1990's LED technology has been advancing and it has found it's way into the flashlights we use everyday at home and at work.

We have recognized that LED Technology is an important source of portable lighting for public servants. LED flashlights are now bright enough that they can also be used as defensive tools in the tactical environment. Years ago, the use of a flashlight as a defensive tool meant physically striking someone with the light. Now, portable LED flashlights are bright enough that with proper training, they can be added into the arsenal of tools officers and soldiers have available to gain the advantage in an confrontational situation.

Fitness Anywhere LLC owes its roots and ongoing drive to the US Navy SEAL Teams — the world’s finest commandos who are professional athletes of the most serious kind. Development of the TRX® Suspension Trainer® began among these ranks as an invention of necessity. In wharf-side warehouses, urban safe-houses, on ships and inside submarines, our company’s founder, Randy Hetrick, and his SEAL teammates searched for ways to stay in peak condition while stashed away on missions.

This is when Hetrick got the idea to develop a prototype of the TRX Suspension Trainer. The original TRX was a training harness — a few lengths of parachute webbing hand-stitched together by boat repair tools.

In 1965, as a result of unsatisfactory performance of previous Army combat footwear in the jungles of Vietnam, the Army adopted Wellco-Ro-Search technology for the manufacture of its hot weather boots, and this product thus became know as the "Vietnam Boot." Later the technology used to manufacture the Vietnam Boot was adopted for all Army combat footwear. Wellco became a prominent supplier of such footwear to the US Military in 1965, and the remainder of the Army's needs were supplied for a number of years by three other companies, all of them using Ro-Search supplied molds and presses, as well as technical advice. To this day, the technology is used to manufacture military combat boots.
