Revelyst's Project Freedom to Showcase Tactical Heritage, Next-Gen Innovation at 2026 SHOT Show

See what's coming from the brands in Revelyst's special initiative — Blackhawk, Eagle, CamelBak and Stone Glacier.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Revelyst Inc., a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture sports technology and outdoor gear, for the first time will bring its full portfolio of tactical brands — Blackhawk, Eagle Industries, CamelBak and Stone Glacier — to exhibit together at SHOT Show, held Jan. 20-23 at the Venetian Expo + Caesars Forum in Las Vegas.

These brands are part of Project Freedom, Revelyst's initiative to deliver innovative gear that enhances safety, efficiency and effectiveness for military, law enforcement and first responders worldwide. This unified presence showcases a streamlined platform built on decades of trust and proprietary design, all of which will be on display in booths 10521 and 10518 on the main floor.

Project Freedom is the result of Revelyst's commitment to creating gear and technologies that enhance the work of service members and allies across the globe. The precision products crafted by the company's Project Freedom brands — just like everything made at Revelyst — are purpose-built with a steadfast obsession with quality and innovation to help consumers get the job done. In this case, it's about protecting freedom wherever it's threatened.

By harnessing cross-brand innovation and integrated solutions, Revelyst is reimagining performance, reliability and operational effectiveness for tactical and outdoor professionals.

Revelyst recently opened a new sales and business development office in Chesapeake, Va., allowing the Project Freedom team to service police/law enforcement, tactical and military buyers in nearby Norfolk, Va., and Washington, D.C., as well as providing a space for rapid prototyping of products under development. The team is led by David Hein, Vice President and General Manager. Hein is a longtime industry veteran who brings proven category experience, having worked with iconic brands such as Dickies, 5.11 Tactical and Outdoor Research.

"Revelyst is the only company that can fuse tactical gear, hydration, load carriage, optics and equipment into one seamless ecosystem," said Hein. "With cross-brand R&D and synergy driving faster innovation, we deliver true end-to-end solutions for military, law enforcement and first responders. No competitor matches this depth of category-defining brands or the unified vision behind them, a shared DNA of performance, trust and legacy elevated through collaboration."
