Leatherman MUT Multi-Tool

The Leatherman® MUT™ Multi-Tool is the first multi-tool that functions as both a tactical and practical tool for military, LE or civilian shooters.

It's designed to provide quick access to commonly used tools to keep an AR-15 up and running.

The MUT™ features multiple areas on the tool threaded for cleaning rods and brushes that are part of the Otis Weapons Cleaning System. All screwdriver bits are sized for standard military and civilian sighting adjustment work.

A bronze carbon scraper is the perfect tool when cleaning your weapon. It easily breaks free the built up crud on your bolt and in the carrier.

The most commonly used tools on any multi tool are the blade and the plyers. The MUT™ delivers exceptional quality here. The blade is made from 420HC Stainless Steel and features a clip point combo straight/serrated edge. The needle nose pliers include 154CM Replaceable Hard-Wire Cutters to extend the useful life of the tool.

A simple Torx #8 adds the flexibility to replace the most commonly used parts on the spot, keeping downtime to a minimum. The whole tool is built from stainless steel and had a removable Titanium pocket clip for those times when you want to forgo the included MOLLE sheath. The sheath however, carries an included 1/2" and 3/8" adjustment wrench to complement the MUT™ itself.

The Leatherman® MUT™ is made in the USA and carries a 25 year warranty. It may very well be the most efficient and useful piece in your kit. Get yours today at uscav.com.

Lowa Zephyr Combat Boots from U.S. Cavalry

The Lowa Zephyr line of boots offers the soldier in the field a lightweight, breathable and comfortable assault boot with the comfort and high-end features Lowa boots are known for.

View our product video here.

This German based boot company has been building world-class mountaineering footwear since 1923. And with almost 90 years in the boot making industry, they're bringing the expertise in mountain and hiking boot designs to the modern combat boot.


The fit you'll get with the Zephyr is that of a running shoe as it was designed with that purpose in mind. This isn't a boot to ruck cross-country with, but is ideal for anyone who spends lots of time in a vehicle and needs ultimate stability when they have to hit the ground.

The sole of the Lowa Zephyr line of boots has a stickier rubber than your typical combat boot. This makes it have great traction on any surface. It's much softer too, designed for maximum shock attenuation, it's one of the most comfortable combat boots for running and other high impact activities.

A nylon through-going stabilizer gives the boot torsional rigidity to help prevent ankle twisting.

A great feature that sets the Zephyr's apart form other traditional combat boot designs is the distinct bi-injected PU midsole and monowrap frame. The use of PU, or polyurethane, doubles this boots average life for shock attenuation versus an EVA midsole. The monowrap frame and mid-sole structure, is directly attached to the boot via a injection molding process and is bonded to the upper and sole of the boot. This frame envelops the foot, giving critical support and protection but also allowing the boot to retain specific design features essential to any combat boot.

The frame uses a skeletonized design, which helps your foot breathe, reduces weight and excess bulk. The cut outs in the ankle area greatly improve your range of ankle movement without pinching. The monowrap design also allows the upper to have minimal to no padding around the forefoot which also aids in ventilation and keeps the foot cool.

The midsole is also molded up the toe kicker to provide some impact protection to the toes.

The suede leather fully protects the sides of your foot and the nylon mesh panels on top increase airflow.

Nylon webbing loops are used in the forefoot. These help reduce weight and are designed in a way that grasps the foot for a secure fit.

Metal eyelets are used up the remainder of the boot and allow quick cinching of the laces.

A half inch of foam padding is used to surround and support the ankle. Also the tongue is padded down the middle, but the gussets remain un-padded so they will lay flat. Re-enforcement of the tongue ensures that the laces won't cut into your foot.

Inside you'll find a climate control full mesh liner which also aids in the overall breathability and moisture wicking properties of this boot.

The insole is also topped with this climate control mesh. A 1/4 inch of padding is sandwiched between the mesh and a semi-rigid base. This works in conjunction with the injected midsole and frame for a total support system.

The 8" Zephyr is available in Gore-Tex only, denoted by GTX in it's name. This feature was added by request of soldiers in theater, because having a Gore-Tex boot in a desert environment may not seem necessary, but is critical when you encounter less than sanitary obstacles in urban environments.

If you don't need a full 8" boot, the Zephyr GTX is also available in a 6" cut in both desert or black.

Or you can opt for the non-gore-tex 6" Zephyr if you don't need a waterproof liner in your boot.

At just under 2 and a half pounds for the 6" and just 4 oz. more for the 8" these are very lightweight for such a stable boot.

Overall Lowa boots are made extremely well and are robust enough to last. The stitching and materials are top notch and are prefect for a boot to wear outside the wire.

XTREME Evolution: The New TRU XTreme Uniforms from TRU-SPEC

The evolution of the tactical response uniform is here! The newly designed T.R.U. Xtreme line of apparel by Tru-Spec is new for August 2010.

Everything has been re-designed from the ground up with this garment system. Specifically tailored to the tactical operator, the features found in the T.R.U. Xtreme are high-end without the price that you might expect.


The T.R.U. Xtreme system consists of 4 total garments: a shirt, pant, combat shirt and vest. The addition of a vest and a combat shirt to a tactical uniform gives the operator an efficient uniform that can be mission ready at a moments notice.


All that is required is to remove the uniform's vest and throw on body armor over the combat shirt. With a light, breathable base layer as the body of the combat shirt, the operator stays cooler and is more comfortable. When the mission is over, simply don the uniforms vest again to maintain a clean appearance.

The shirt and combat shirt both feature two slanted shoulder pockets with VELCRO® loop sided panels for attaching insignia. The angle of these pockets allow for quick access to the contents, but in addition to this top opening, a side zippered pocket is available as well behind the main pocket.


Tru-Spec has also included with each shirt a forearm document pocket that is removable and fits either the right or left sleeve. Mission notes, maps and codes can be safely stored under the water resistant window covered by a privacy flap. This flap has integrated slots for storing pens, markers or slim penlights. Additional pouches will be made available by Tru-Spec for various mission specific requirements in late 2010 - 2011.


The T.R.U. Xtreme pant could be considered one of the most comfortable tactical pants on the market. The slider waist is made to move with you and expands up to two inches. This is the same design found in the popular 24-7 tactical pant and included by request of some of the most elite operators.


Adding to the range of movement the entire pant is articulated to naturally follow the leg's bend and a diamond shaped gusted crotch provides a more relaxed fit.

Six total pockets and two knee pad pockets give this pant plenty of storage.


Both shirts as well as the pant feature Super Fabric® patches provide for extra high abrasion resistance to high wear areas in the knees and elbows. Super Fabric® is designed to be cut and stain resistant and extends the life of your uniform versus traditional re-enforced designs.

All of the garments in the T.R.U. Xtreme garment system are made from rugged lightweight 50/50 Nylon Cotton (NyCo) Ripstop fabric for added comfort in any season.

Solid colors will be available August 15, 2010 while MULTICAM® will be available October 15, 2010.
