Timberland Force Boots

Timberland Military Boots

This family of boots has been kicking around for at least a year and a half. Consisting of specialized designs for Urban, Jungle, Desert, and Mountain climes, the entire line is offered in a variety of color schemes to match environments as much as personal preference.

They successfully commercialized the Mountain Force boot with US Cav and BQM that Fall and Timberland recently transitioned the remainder of the line from their skunk works to the Pro Force sales team.

The entire line was on display at SHOT Show and we will be introducing the entire line over the next few weeks but the Desert Force Mid Boot in Coyote Brown Camo caught our eye as the most likely for our readers to put to immediate use.

While the materials are the same as the issue item, LBT does provide their liners with a zipper around three of the sides in order to make a simple sleeping bag.

RAN Issues New Uniforms

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Although the Royal Australian Navy announced plans for a new camouflaged uniform over a year ago, they just recently began issuing them. The modified DPCU is intended to denote RAN personnel as being Australian as it as much a branding issue as a form of camouflage. Most interesting, the sleeves have reflective bands to help identify over board crewmen.
