Frost Grey is initially available in the Striker XT Gen.2 battle dress uniform.
• P-40 All-Terrain Pants
• Hunter FZ Jacket
• Delta OL 3.0 Cold Weather Jacket

Omni-Wool Socks are made from Merino wool which comes from a herd in Montana, making them Berry compliant. It also means they offer all of the advantages of Merino: wicking, inherent FR, anti-microbial.
Although they offer a wide range of socks, the boot models are available in light, medium and heavy. The heavy sock was initially intended for use in cold weather environments but some users have adopted them for hot weather due to their thick nap. The socks are engineered from top to bottom to fit the shape of the foot, ankle and calf. For instance, they’ve integrated a non binding top and calf relief feature so the sock stays up, but doesn’t constrict.
Interested parties should contact Darley Defense.
