We are proud to announce what we feel is the best Tactical Combat boot on the market, the New Belleville M310.
Following on from the popular M610Z, the M310 is the Tan tactical boot all of you have been waitng for. With the longer wearing MeraMax PU sole, the M310 is Belleville's Lightest boot ever, and the ONLY tactical style boot that is US Army ACU Uniform Approved.
The M310 will be avaiable to Australia about Mid-September, but you can pre-order now to make sure you don't have to wait.

Carinthia Has Landed

Finaly, those of us dreading another winter in an underperforming sleeping bag or bivy can now rest warmly.
This ship has docked and the gear will be cleared by Wednesday. As we said on the home page, pre-orders get first crack then it's up to you to be quick!
The only issue is the reversible insulation suits. They went on back-order and will be airfreighted in a week or so.
Like you, I wish I had a Carinthia bag and bivy on a range prac last week. This strain of the flu is not very pleaseant!
We'd like to thank our customers for their patience. It will be worth it. Check out the Explorer II bivy review in A&NZ Defender magazine.

2nd Carinthia Delay

It would appear our ship has gone on a world tour prior to arriving in Australia! The new date for Carinthia is now the 27th of May.
Some items on backorder are ready and will be airfreighted in the next week or so. This kit is worth the wait.

M590 Replacement Soles Available

Whilst almost all of our customers have yet to wear out a pair of soles before the boot, we now have a supply of Vibram Sierra M590 soles on hand to support our customers. A Vibram re-sole is about $65 (inc soles) at a reputable shoe repairer (not Mr Minit or any franchised hole in the wall shoe repairer). If you don't know who is good in your area, get in touch and we'll find out for you, or post the boots back and we'll organise it all.

Pelican Tactical Lights

We've looked at a lot of tactical lights over the past few years and not just from the features side. We have found that while Pelican has all the features found in other tactical lights, they also have the best warranty, support and reliable supply. Weapon mounts for the lights are also available. Contact us for details.
In the near future we will offer the famous Pelican cases in our product line. With so many overseas deployments, laptops are a digger's lifeline to home, so it makes sense to protect yours with the best case going.

Delay in Carinthia Shipment

Unfortunately, there is some bad news in our latest shipping update. Our shipment of carinthia didn't leave Europe when we expected and is on the water now, but will be due the 29th April. We apologise for the delay, however, if you are in Townsville, you can see examples of Carinthia sleeping and bivy bags, by contacting Danny at Nth Qld Tactical Supplies.
