The Marine Corps is getting ready issue a solicitation for a full and open competition for both Temperate Weather and Hot Weather Rugged All Terrain Boots. Just a few years ago the Marines began their love affair with the retro look (and construction) of the RAT Boot. They’ve had a couple of contractors build the boots but haven’t been very happy with the product. Rather than look at the 19th century construction of the boots as the real culprit they decided to treat at least one vendor with disdain publicly and blame them. But, I’ve heard from more than one company building them that the boot’s design is the issue.
Originally innovated by Danner for the Marine Corps, the RAT is available in both Hot Weather and Temperate versions with the Temperate model incorporating a Gore-tex liner. It features a lace to toe system with a flex “V†notch. It also features a heel and toe counter that helps resist abrasion. Overall, it’s a great looking boot. As you probably know, Marine Corps combat footwear is “Olive” (originally Olive Mojave) in color but it really resembles Coyote. Additionally, he heel is branded with the Eagle Globe and Anchor insignia. The boot has a couple of great features but the stitch down construction between the sole and upper remains troublesome.
The Marine Corps anticipates a maximum quantity of 325,000 Boots consisting of 162,500 pairs TW and 162,500 pairs HW. With shrinking demand for military footwear it will be interesting to see which companies are willing to dance with the devil on this one.
The actual solicitation hasn’t been released yet but you can read the per-solicitation here.

Platac’s tagline for the new Nomad Pack is “Overt is the New Covert”. The idea is to hide in plain sight and the Nomad does that. Appearing as a mild mannered commuter pack, the Nomad is specifically designed to accommodate the HK-G36C and Short Barreled M4 Carbine variants. Thanks to an ingenuous hideaway extender sleeve it will also fit longer barreled weapons.
It has hideaway straps for use as carry-on luggage, or you can criss-cross the shoulder straps to make a sling bag. Additionally, the interior of the main compartment includes PALS webbing. Yes, it’s available in MultiCam but the Black and Grey combo looks pretty good for playing the Grey Man
Red Stitch Tactical has a new enhanced rifle “dueling tree”. Similar to the one we reported on before, the “enhanced long range rifle dueling tree” is designed for focused precision rifle fire training and practice at long ranges. The basic platform consists of 4 steel plates (AR500 steel) on a 3/4″ steel bar, with a 3/8″ angle iron shield in place to deflect errant shots to the side so you don’t eat it up on a bad day.
The base can be staked on uneven surfaces or mounted straight to a 1/2″ square tube that can be permanently mounted at a range. Red Stitch Tactical is a veteran owned business.
Specifications-
– (4) 8″ AR500 steel target plates
– 3/8″ angle iron shield
– Base included but also set up to be mounted directly into a 1/2″ square tube in the ground
