Sneak Peek – Garmont T4 & T4 Tour
Friday, February 23rd, 2018The Salomon Forces 2018 is Marching Its Way to US Elite Gear
Thursday, February 8th, 2018The newest members of the Salomon Forces boot family are here at US Elite Gear!
First up are the revamped XA Mids; this flagship of the Forces line has been ruggedized for military tasks like fast-roping and rappelling, and is available in standard and Gore-Tex versions. The GTX version also has a new Ranger Green colorway.
Next, the Speedcross 4 Forces is now available with a wide instep, making the shoe a true ‘E’ size and eliminating headaches about finding the right fit.
The X ALP MTN GTX is built for scrambling through rocky mountain terrain, and now has a wider toebox for increased comfort.
Something new is the TOUNDRA FORCES CSWP (ClimaSalomon WaterProof), designed to be the warmest possible boot or arctic conditions at the lightest possible weight. Available in extended sizes (half sizes).
Finally, Salomon has released what many have been clamoring for: a uniform regulation-compliant boot. The Guardian meets the Army’s AR 670-1 standard and maintains the Salomon standards of comfort and quality.
U.S. Elite is the market leader in Arc’teryx LEAF and Salomon Forces. Check out the newest footwear from Salomon Forces from the internet’s most trusted source. Fully stocked and ready to ship.
SHOT Show 18 – Garmont Nemesis
Monday, February 5th, 2018I was pretty excited to see the new Nemesis 4.0 and 6.0 GTX from Garmont.
Garmont boots have been very popular with troops because they are so lightweight. Still lightweight, this new style is a serious departure from the T8, with abrasion-resistant nylon uppers reminiscent of a civilian hiker. The Nemesis also features rubber overlays at the toe and heel. They offer a roomy toe box, anatomical tongue (with lace pocket), asymmetric cuff, and heel slide.

SHOT Show 18 – Reebok Duty Sublite Cushion Tactical
Friday, January 26th, 2018
Reebok Duty has expanded the Sublite Cushion Tactical line with three new models. There is Sage Green for the Air Force and Coyote for the Army AR 670-1 compliant boot. Additionally, they’ve introduced Mid versions as more a tactical causal shoe.
Interestingly, they developed a special sole for the AR 670-1 boot.
It incorporates a rope guard and offers a full rubber outsole with additional abrasion resistance.
The other models (as seen above) have deeper flex grooves as well as targeted rubber at the toe and heel for weight reduction.
At the top of the younger there is a lace garage.
Finally, the footbed incorporates memorytech massage with massaging pods. Although hey come standard with the Sublime Cushion, these footbeds as an after market accessory later this year.
