In a nut shell, the SPM-622 Squad Power Manager intelligently manages energy transfer to and between batteries and electronic equipment.

Altama – Temperate PRO-X
April 17th, 2018Altama is working on a new version of their PRO-X boot. The original is a straight up Jungle Boot design but this new model combines the US Army 8″ Temperate upper with the PRO-X sole system. It incorporates a direct attach polyurethane midsole which uses Dual Density Technology with comfort pods.
As you can see, it incorporates the classic Panama tread which remains the best sole for use in the jungle due to its ability to release mud.
