Heritage Jump Boots from GORUCK

GORUCK is on fire with boot options – here’s the newest – the Heritage Jump Boots. The original Jump boots were first used by the 82nd Airborne Division and were distinct because of their solid toe caps and calf-length lacing. This gave GORUCK an inspiration for their boots but to put their signature in it, they use the supportive MACV-1 platform paired with the best materials, including the most rigid leather. The leather is from Rostaing Tannery, established in 1789 and family-owned since its origin. It is relatively small, exclusive, and only provides the highest quality and unparalleled leathers. Here’s some of the styles we are going to look at: Heritage Jump Boots – Overview The dual-compound rubber outsole of the Heritage Jump Boots offers functional performance in any environment, even on wet and muddy terrain, with its augmented traction. The outsole also covers the toes for understated protection against the hostile ground or when doing push-ups.

GORUCK Task Force Dagger Jacket

GORUCK has a new product – the Task Force Dagger Jacket. GORUCK honors the legacy and the effort of the teams from the 5th Special Forces Group deployed to the mountainous region of Afghanistan, along the Hindu Kush thirty-nine days after 9/11.

Here are some of the styles we are going to look at: Task Force Dagger Jacket – Overview Using the same Polartec 300 weight fleece, the Task Force Dagger Jacket gives tribute to the jackets worn by those Special Forces units 20 years ago.

Bonehead Ruck Weight Plate Review

Let’s review the Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates from Fringe Sport. What’s a Ruck Weight Plate? It’s a heavy weight that you put in your rucksack (aka backpack) to add resistance and therefore burn more calories when you walk, hike, or “ruck” (as it’s known in the military). Can’t you just use a barbell plate or a dumbbell? Ruck weight plates are a better option because they are a shape and size that will actually fit into your backpack. And leave you enough room to pack other important stuff. DISCLAIMER: Fringe Sport provided the equipment in this article for review. Here’s the complete set of Ruck Weight Plates that Fringe Sport has to offer: Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates – Overview The Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates are made from solid cast iron, and receive a black powdercoat finish. The most important thing about these is the weight. After all, we use plates to add resistance to work harder and grow stronger. All of these weigh in at or over the advertised weight. That’s good because if you are participating in a GORUCK [Read more …]
