Warrior West 18 – Belleville 901V2 “Burma” Jungle Boot
Thursday, April 19th, 2018The 901V2 is Belleville’s Jungle Boot, called the “Burma.” The V2 is because it’s their second version, with a thinner midsole than the first version.
As you can see, it features a Panama II outsole. Inside, there’s a puncture resistant textile insole and medial and lateral side drainage perforations. The vamp construction acts as a screen for sand and debris.
There’s also a removable PU footbed which provides some shock absorption and sits the sole just a bit off of the puncture proof insole which might have a bit of water which hasn’t drained. This helps keep your feet drier.

This sun shirt, called the Enthios, combines UV protection with FR properties, thanks to the Polartec Delta fabric it’s made from. This hoodie is currently in a light blue, but that’s because it’s sample fabric. The production version will be Coyote.

Warrior West 18 – LBT-WTV (Weight Training Vest)
Thursday, April 19th, 2018
Looking to offer an alternative to working out in your armored plate carrier, LBT worked with the fitness community to develop a functional/stable weight vest capable of handling the stress of a high intensity workout.
The weight vest can hold standard 5 or 10 lb circular plates that can be found at almost any gym/fitness center, they also partnered with Sorinex to develop weight plates specific to the shape of the vest that will come in 5/8/10 lbs plate options, the plates can be purchased with the vest or without.
Unlike most weight vests, the LBT-WTV also comes with an elastic compression strap to keep the weight vest stable during running and inverted exercises.
The LBT-WTV will be launched later this month via LBTINC.com, just in time for those of you training for this years Murph challenge.
