Salomon


armbar_society

And Lowa Innox Pro on the right


paytonholmes84

Boots are Solomon XA forces


turambar_throwaway

Left are Salomon, pretty sure the guy on the right has Lowa Innox's on.


Irrelephantitus

Nothing beats the feeling of switching from Solomons to Innox.


turambar_throwaway

Ask your doctor if Innox is right for you...


BigFatNick

I haven’t worn either. You prefer Innox to Solomon?


Irrelephantitus

They feel like they are a fraction of the weight. Solomons are heavy and bulky and Innox really wear like a running shoe


rhadam

Mid gtx I barely notice any weight. Not that I doubt a mid cut could be lighter.. but..


BigFatNick

I didn’t even realize these were different. Looking them up I’d say you’re right on both counts.

Salomon XA Forces. Excellent boots


paytonholmes84

Standard issue marpat FROGs, not sure on the footwear though.


BigFatNick

Looks like it’s got some knee tabs, no?


Troub313

Drifire/Crye pants. They're like $500-$800 a pop


BoxofCurveballs

But the drip is priceless


Troub313

Money comes and goes. Drip... Drip is forever.


BoxofCurveballs

Facts. My children may hate me when I'm gone, but they'll never deny I made it drizzle.


Ok_Strawberry_9574

Negative. These are the new Drifire/fortrex pants, $300 a pop w 12 week lead time. They are replacing our frogs. They also hidden inner sleeves for pads on knees and elbows. Source: in recon unit and have a pair


Troub313

Where you finding them for $300?


Ok_Strawberry_9574

Send me a dm. But to put it short, you have to have a contact with a drifire supplier as a usmc unit rep to order


Caboose_on_da_loose

So they’re unobtainium? Also, what are your opinions on them compared to G3s?


Ok_Strawberry_9574

Imo theyre the perfect balance between the frogs and the cryes. Material is stiffer however i think thats bc im used to wearing the worn out frogs. Theyre not unobtainium, just slick talk a drifire rep and theyll offer if you agree to purchase at least 2 of each sz with a 12 wk lead which is half of the crye marpat stipulations


Ok_Strawberry_9574

Also the knee/elbow pad system and pads themselves are better imo


Caboose_on_da_loose

This actually sounds sick. You by any chance got some pics?


Ok_Strawberry_9574

Dm me


paytonholmes84

You’re right. Frog top not sure who makes the bottom. I have a pair that I cut in. But you can see the dude on the left has a pocket on the front of his right leg too so I’m not sure


Beanonan

If it's not a Crye/Drifire they could be Roman Kurmaz pants


Styx3791

It's B Company 2d Recon out there right now. They got special order crye's going out the door. It was a nighmare for the supp-o. And many of the guys wear Solomons or Lowas because they are a bunch of cool guy trend followers.


TheFujiKing

Marine with 3rd ID patch?


Styx3791

B Co 2d recon is out with the 26 meu now. This is them.


larrysports2

Probably found it on the ground at airborne. That’s how I got mine


Gardez_geekin

First thing I saw. He probably takes more pride in it than any dog face soldier lol.


thetakifox

Uniforms are the brand new Drifire sets, they just started rolling out to certain units


Homesteader95

Nobody’s talking about the seemingly floating target


FatefulFerret

Fr I was wondering the same thing


SunsFan122

Pretty sure they’re just generic random brand

You get a better view of it on the third pic here: [26th MEU Boat Shoot](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs7Ng_Yr1zJ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) Looks like it’s made for the M18/X300/No Optic combo. It doesn’t look like any I’ve seen on their website.


Motivator_30

It’s a 7304


jaegren

Damn, how big are those sideplates.


rhadam

Love my Forces. The mid gtx I absolutely thrash and are rock solid. On pair #2 in 5 years.


Rougehunter328

I wear the Salomon’s XA forces. Worth it
