Army New Mountain Combat Boots

[Diamondback 2/2]

Anyone using them in the stan? If so how do you like them, can I get a AAR on them?

Jab - go onto the Danner site to check them out... $310.00 without discounts

Those boots look nice, but they look more like casual boots rather than combat boots. They do not go with the multicam either! More like a pair you would wear around for everyday use with a pair designer denim jeans.

Expensive enough too.

What is that black L shaped device on the soldiers midsection. I has a grey end cap?

It looks like an electronics item.... maybe a flashlight?

It's his inhaler, for the mountains.

An angled flashlight?

Looks similar to a Tomahawk flashlight by First Light.

That's a pretty specific attachment device which seems overly built to hold a flashlight. The vest appears to be new and worn for display purposes only....hmmm? I don't know, but I like Pardus' answer

Tactical fleshlight?

Its a Tomahawk angled flashlight and they are damned expensive...too expensive for what they are/do.

Had one given to me at SOMA 2009, used it a couple times but then gave it away. It ook up too much space and was too finicky for my liking. I will stick to my Petzl headlamp thank you...

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo back to the boot's, anyone used them? Wondering how they feel, work and if they hold up well. X SF I am not buying them brother a buddy of mine has 2 pair in my size and offered me a pair. I don't want him to waste the time and money on shipping if they are crap. He has yet to wear them b/c his CoC won't allow them to wear anything but the normal tan stuff even though the whole btn has been issued them.

I use the boots for a little bit of hiking... not all that comfortable, but free is free..

Its a Tomahawk light. Its written at the top & side! Get ye're Guinness glasses off!

Is it just me or do they not look like combat boots?

$310?? ... Why can't they go with something like Merrell Sawtooths? Cheaper by less than half of the Danner price.

I like my Merrells, but the Danners are better built IMO.

I still have and use my issued Chippewa mountain boots... they were more expensive than $310 back when they were issued to me in the Dark Ages.
