SSD Exclusive – Salomon FORCES Footwear Lineup
January 6th, 2015Here are the first official photos of the inaugural 2015 SALOMON FORCES range, designed specifically for military and law enforcement.
Based on end-user demand in Europe and the USA, the French company Salomon developed a new segment of footwear products for professional customers.
Based on popular, existing models that have already proven their mettle during hard missions over the span of multiple deployments, Salomon has adjusted a few features to make them even more appealing for FORCES customers.
Closed-hooks, gusseted tongues, murdered-out and tan colorways are the primary features they’ve integrated into the new line. But they haven’t stopped there. Salomon is applying over 20 years of footwear expertise into the continued development of FORCES for the foreseeable future.
The very Salomon line was created for extreme winter sports. They have been built to withstand extreme cold weather in mountainous conditions. Turns out, they are also well suited for load-carriage during fast movements during recce and direct action missions. But now, they’ve increased the brand’s versatility across more environments by offering the choice of shoes with or without Gore-Tex membrane.
Thus far, the FORCES line consists of 14 articles that will enhance the performance of tactical law enforcement and military end-users everywhere.

High Threat Concealment Belts
January 5th, 2015High Threat Concealment has designed two belt systems to be used in conjunction with their HTC Low Profile System that allow the user to quickly put on their system, while still securely holding the gear in place along the waistline. The belts incorporate a two-piece belt concept where the inner belt goes through the pants loops to act as a traditional belt, and the outer belt feeds through the Low Profile System. The outer belt then attaches to the inner belt via high quality Velcro brand hook and loop. The HTC Tactical Cobra Belt incorporates the quick-release functionality of AustriAlpin’s Cobra buckle, and provides a comfortable and secure platform for your HTC Low Profile System. The HTC Low Pro Belt blends the performance of a quality leather gun belt with the comfort of nylon webbing, and helps reduce the appearance of carrying tactical equipment by appearing to look like a normal leather belt. It features a removable buckle to allow the user to thread the belt through his or her pant loops like a regular belt.
HTC has expanded their line of belts, and now offers to additional belts to choose from, the Cobra Tactical Rigger’s (CTR) Belt and the Everyday Tactical (EDT) Belt. The CTR Belt is HTC’s take on the popular rigger’s belt, and it incorporates the new Cobra D-Ring buckle from AustriAlpin. The belt is made of 1.75” Type 13 Mil-Spec Nylon webbing reinforced with a layer of stiff dive webbing around the back from hip to hip. The EDT Belt consists of a sturdy double layer of 1.5” or 1.75” dive webbing from the points of the hip around the back, and then tapers down to a single layer of material where it crosses itself. This results in a consistent double layer of material around the entire belt, instead of a thicker 4-layer area where the belts overlap. It also incorporates the smaller version of the AustriAlpin Cobra buckle, allowing for quick, secure attachment and easy removal.
Come check out the all of the belt options from HTC, as well as their other new releases, at their pistol bay, SR-22, at the Shot Show Industry Day at the Range. You’ll also have a chance to check out and try pistols from Salient Arms International in HTC gear. HTC will also be at BOOTH # 8103 for SHOT Show with their friends from Renegade Armor. You’ll also be able to catch a glimpse of some other products from our friends from Tactical Walls, Tennessee Arms Company, and Velocity Systems.
