Elbeco, Incorporated announced today the launch of two new additions to its Response line of uniforms: T2TM Shirts and Tek2 TM Shirts and Trousers. Engineered to meet the technical requirements and physical demands of today’s first responders, these garments include features to enhance performance and comfort.
Elbeco will debut its new Tek2 and T2 lines at its booth, #1919, at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference set for October 22-26, 2011, in Chicago, IL.
“As equipment, technology and strategies evolve, Elbeco remains committed to keeping up with the demands of today’s first responders,” said director of sales and business development, JD Devine. “We engineered T2 Shirts and Tek2 Shirts and Trousers with ultra-comfortable fabric tested to stand up to the daily punishment of a first responder’s day. Then, we incorporated convenient features like a Covert Flex Waistband for ease of wear, our new Flex Underarm Vents – which boost ventilation and mobility - and Dual Comm Wire Access Openings – perfect for use with listen-only microphones, body cameras and other technical devices. Finally, we delivered superior color matching for a complete, professional look. I’m thrilled with the results, and know our customers will be, too!”

The new garments are an enhanced version of their TekTwill counterparts, offering the same cut and comfort, with new, improved features to complement today’s first responders.
