Brown Light Op boots being looked at now. The ridiculous single boot concept is dead.Thank god."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

Overloaded?? Sound like. It is rated to take a certain weight before the straps start ripping. (On the tag inside)"Let us be clear about three facts.

Article on the Haix scouts in this months Cosantoir. Bit of background on why they were issued but the rest is a copy and paste off the Haix website.Still no info about how to maintain them except to say they shouldn't be polished.
Really?? is this the best we can do?"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt.

Must have been defective or you overloaded it before and weakened it.To be fair they are bombproof. Your's is the first complaint I have heard about."Let us be clear about three facts.

On the whole they are a solid hold all, but those back pack straps are definitely a weak point, know a good few lads with them gone ..... I think there's been a couple of runs of them? Perhaps they penny pinched on the final version
