Introducing Asolo Tactical: Renowned Bootmaker Partners with Military Equipment Specialist to Launch Exclusive Tactical Footwear Range

December 13th, 2024

The outdoor footwear industry is ever-evolving, with advancements in technology, materials, and construction methods constantly driving new standards in performance. From enhanced cushioning systems to breathable fabrics and waterproofing innovations, the sector propels rapidly, often outpacing the defence sector in terms of technological progress and performance quality.

Whilst outdoor brands certainly deliver high-performance footwear, many leading products are unsuitable for military use, with aesthetic limitations and operation-specific functionality often overlooked in their design and construction. To meet this need, leading military equipment specialist, Brigantes has joined forces with iconic Italian bootmaker, Asolo, to develop a new line of military-specific footwear. By combining Brigantes’ military expertise with Asolo’s rich heritage of traditional craftsmanship and technical innovation, this line will promise to meet and exceed the rigorous demands of military customers operating in complex tactical environments.

Bespoke Military Footwear

The Asolo Tactical footwear line marks a groundbreaking development in the defence industry, but these two companies are not strangers to collaboration. Brigantes and Asolo have enjoyed several years of successful partnership and have already seen significant success with the development of their flagship product, the Fugitive Tactical GTX boot – an adapted take on Asolo’s Fugitive GTX, with some key adjustments made for military customers. The expanded line of tactical footwear will encompass a broad range of environmental needs, offering six bespoke styles from approach shoes to high-altitude mountain boots, each precision-engineered to support military personnel to perform at their best.

Asolo’s Fugitive Tactical GTX boots have already seen huge popularity within the military community

Traditional Craftsmanship

Pioneers of innovation and creators of the very first Gore-Tex lined mountain boots, Asolo are an established brand who have been influential in shaping the outdoor footwear market. Founded in 1975, this family business has since expanded significantly, becoming renowned for their commitment to traditional craftsmanship, quality materials and cutting-edge innovation. A commitment which has earned them a loyal following among outdoor enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Military Expertise

Founded in 2014 by ex-military personnel, Brigantes are specialists in on-the-soldier equipment and a trusted supplier to NATO military, government, and elite police units. With a product range spanning apparel, footwear, vertical movement, signature management, technology, mobility, and sustainment, Brignates unite decades of military experience with advanced technical expertise and keen industry awareness to deliver unparalleled solutions to their customers.

This partnership between the two brands, each experts in their field, will mean that military customers can tap into the best of both worlds when it comes to operational footwear requirements. Asolo’s timeless craftsmanship and technical ingenuity uniting with Brigantes’ extensive intelligence on the subject of operational intricacies. More than just a tactical colour change, the two brands are going in depth with the design considerations for the new line of footwear. The Asolo Tactical range will cover the full spectrum of operational capability, from 6000m Arctic boots to cold weather specific footwear, long distance styles and light and fast approach shoes. Each piece will be designed with the unique requirements of military personnel in mind.

Speak to us

The design and development of this exciting new line is well underway, with stock expected to be available as early as Autumn/Winter 2025.

10th Mountain Division Soldiers at the Helm of New Army System

December 13th, 2024

FORT DRUM, N.Y. — Developing a new product, may require a hefty time commitment, multiple revisions, and a lengthy process to get it to the consumer. Army Training Information System, or ATIS, developers are not only trying to circumvent the lengthy process of putting a product in the hands of users, but they are working with the ones it is intended for – Soldiers.

Soldiers of A Company, 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (LI) are getting a chance to work with a system that is not yet available to the rest of the Army.

ATIS is tasked with taking 21 legacy systems that the Army and its Soldiers are currently using to manage training and data and merging them into one. The goal is to have a new system that will be a one-stop shop for tasks that manage training, resources, data and scheduling.

Maj. James Oliver, assistant product manager for ATIS, said he believes that the work that they are doing is important and staying Soldier-centered is essential.

“It’s going to save Soldiers time,” Oliver said. “A lot of these systems aren’t modernized, so Soldiers that are using them, they’re using some old system that haven’t been updated.”

The goal is to produce an intuitive system that does not require multiple systems or training to log on and use it. As part of this project, the ATIS team held sessions with Soldiers about their jobs, what they do, and what they would like to see when it came to the system.

First Sgt. Andrew Acuna, A Company, 2-87 Infantry Regiment, and his Soldiers, have been participating in sessions with ATIS since August 2024, and have been able to use the new system and give first-hand feedback to its engineers.

“It has been great having a direct line to the individuals responsible for designing the user interface here,” Acuna said. “It’s rare that we have the opportunity to directly talk to someone when we’re having difficulty, and it’s a huge plus.”

The ATIS team not only takes the feedback from the Soldiers using the system, but they are interacting with the Soldiers by interviewing the Soldiers using the system and watching them complete training lanes, which allows the team to see the reasoning behind the recommendations the Soldiers are making.

The program’s engineers are using these moderated systems as a way to pull together a mockup of what they believe Soldiers want and use that information to put a working system into the hands of the Soldiers who provided the feedback. The information taken from these sessions will be used to continue to revise ATIS so it is ready for the entire Army to use in fiscal year 2026.

Aggie Cadets Plan 1,000-Mile Ruck March To Benefit Special Operations Warrior Foundation

December 12th, 2024

Six-man Project Atlas Rucks team to depart Texas A&M University’s campus early Dec. 11 for hike through the Colorado mountains.

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Dec. 9, 2024 — Six members of Texas A&M University’s Corps of Cadets will participate in a 1,000-mile, 10-day ruck march across Colorado this month.

The ruck march, a fundraiser for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, began as a service initiative known as Project Atlas Rucks in 2017 by members of the Corps’ Company H-1.

Following the Corps’ consolidation of Company H-1 at the conclusion of the 2021-2022 school year, Project Atlas did not occur in the fall 2022 semester. The efforts were revitalized in the fall of 2023 when eight cadets from Company P-2, several of whom were former members of Company H-1, revived the efforts.

The term “ruck march” is in reference to the rucksack carried by the cadets that holds their clothing, food and water.

This year’s team is a group of five seniors and one sophomore cadet: Nico Barerra of Sugar Land; Zack Hampton of Austin; Max Hulen of Charleston, South Carolina; Christian Lange of Austin; Zach Lehmann of Keller; and Matthew Reckleben of Tucson, Arizona. Four of the team’s members participated in last year’s ruck, which exceeded the project’s $15,000 fundraising goal by nearly $500.

“It’s such a great opportunity to take part in an event like this and to do what we can to give back to the heroes who sacrificed so much for our freedom and their families. It’s truly a blessing to continue this tradition that was started years ago,” said Lehmann, Project Atlas’ co-lead.

This year’s trip will begin early Dec. 11, when the team will drive from Texas A&M’ to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. “We wanted to select an area that would challenge us with high elevation and cold weather during the ruck. Our route will pass through several landmarks, including Camp Hale national monument as well as the towns of Vail and Leadville,” Lehmann said.

The team has a goal to raise $15,000 for the SOWF over the course of the journey.

“These cadets have selflessly elected to spend the first part of their winter breaks serving a very worthy cause. They’re exemplifying the Core Values and leadership development that the Corps experience is rooted in. We’re proud of this year’s group for keeping such a special tradition going and we hope they know that the entire Corps is supporting them along their way,” said Lt. Gen. Chip Utterback, Commandant of the Corps of Cadets.

The team is scheduled to complete its 10-day ruck march on Dec. 22 in Buena Vista, Colorado.

To date, Project Atlas has raised a cumulative $89,436 for the SOWF, which benefits children of military special operators who have died or been injured while serving our nation. The foundation ensures that those children have access to comprehensive educational support, from primary to post-secondary school.

“This ruck is significant to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation because many of the fallen Special Operations personnel whose children we support were A&M graduates. This ruck event honors their sacrifice, while helping fund the education of their children,” said Sean Joseph Corrigan, executive vice president of the SOWF.

“The commitment, sacrifice, and effort that goes into the Project Atlas Ruck march align with what drives Special Operations Forces (SOF). The event honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice and pays tribute to the families who lost their SOF Operator. Texas A&M should take great pride in those who participate in this event. It is uniquely Aggie,” continued Corrigan said.

A link to give to the Project Atlas campaign can be accessed here.

Regular updates about this year’s Project Atlas Ruck march will be posted on the @aggiecorps Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and @projectatlasrucks on Instagram and Facebook.
