I am a retired SWAT officer (Asst. Team leader-Precision Marksman-Instructor-Man Tracker-Rappel Master Instructor..14 year USAF SP EST/25 year State Trooper SWAT). Love the content, back in the day 1980-2011 we didn't have some of the cool guy gear you are sporting..but for years part of my loadout included a M-60 Machinegun in the trunk!!
Salomon boots are my gold standard. I worked in land surveying for about six years. When I first started working in the field, I tried cheap Wal-Mart Brahma boots. Absolute disaster. Worked up to a new pair of boots -- either Merrells or Timberlands, I don't remember -- but they were hardly an improvement. Finally, my buddy who was serving in the 1st Ranger Battalion at the time and on leave loaned me his issued Salomons (which he loved compared to the standard Big Army boots) to wear for a day at work. We had broadly similar sized feet and though the fit wasn't perfect and they were broken in for him, I could instantly tell that the boots were the most high-quality footwear I'd ever worn and definitely the best boots. I ordered a pair of Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX that evening when I got home. They served me well for three years of hard daily use before finally showing signs of wear and tear. Great traction on most terrain, super comfortable for all-day use (nearly comparable to tennis shoes in that regard, I honestly forgot I was wearing them more than once), tons of ankle support, and totally waterproof until the aforementioned three years of use finally managed to wear them down. I ordered a pair of the third-gens to replace them and they, too, lasted me an additional three years. I still have them, though they're showing their age. Also of note: Salomon customer service is excellent. When one of the pairs had a minor issue (an eyelet came off), all I had to do was send a picture & fill out a form explaining the issue and they let me keep the old boots *and* delivered me an entire new pair of ~$350 boots. I was floored.
@@grim5547 Yeah, I ended up getting one of those after a few times where the inside of my boot got wet. No fault of the boot or its Gore-Tex -- it was due to heavy rain getting in from the top or me just walking through creeks that were too high to keep out. The boot dryer in concert with a high-powered fan blowing on the outside was a lifesaver. Wake up the next morning to nice, toasty dry boots.
I just got my Kore belt this past week and have yet to run it, but after setting it up and dry firing with it, it's definitely one of my favorites. As a larger dude, having a belt that will scale with me as I lose weight is huge
I’ve been using my on duty for about two months. The ease of donning and doffing is a definite plus. It’s also way more secure than a traditional duty belt. I run blade tech clips for my pouches and gear and use Velcro strips on the inner side which mates up with my inner belt perfectly. It’s a great setup. Love the Kore belt.
@@GunsNGauze Man the strips of Velcro on the inner side of the TekLoks are such a great addition to the belt! I use mine on a TRex arms kydex mag pouch
Iv had my Korean belt just over a year now and it's carried a p320c with red dot the entire time in a hidden hybrid holster. You can tell it's ben holding something but it's still good and solid. Buckles perfect and the ratcheting system if perfect still and I work hard labor 10+ hrs 5 days a week n its got years left in it. Def best belt iv ever owned
@@IronInfidel not to bring this type of talk to your channel but I have a serious question I’m African American and I live in a area where I’m so dam tired of the hoodlums that roam the neighborhoods here sick of the break ins and so on .I do both carry conceal and open carry .is there anything that you recommend to me to defend myself before drawing my firearm .
Awesome video dude, my buddy told me about the Salomon boots about a year ago and they’re phenomenal, my buddies and I went for a hike after we all got them original plan but curiosity and a wrong turn took us for a longer hike and we ended up hike 4 of the miles in the pouring rain the only thing that was dry on my body was my feet thanks to the Salomon’s
New to the channel brother I'm going to recommend your channel to my community i train alot of people here but can't reach them all love your channel sorry didn't get here sooner but been recovering from a quadruple heart bypass now I have to get back to operational readiness so BRAVO ZULU .....HOOAH!!!
@@IronInfidel I completely agree! They are the quiet company doing their thing under the radar. Just as good as everything else top of the line and IMHO in certain areas sometimes better.
Would like a boot video. I got some $200 under armor boots, that after 3 uses have enough sand in between the layers (I can't get it out), and I can't comfortably wear them anymore.
Same. I have UF Pro for my multicam, but for my everyday uniform, UF Pro doesn't have anything close enough for policy. I will say UF Pro's customer service is amazing. They shipped fabric samples of their "almost green" stuff so I could compare against approved pants. Ultimately everything was too brown.
Great video, thanks. Love the channel and my Battle Bottle - I even took the bait and got the multicam black for my buddy at the discount. I’d love to hear more about those Salomons, they look great but reviews are mixed. How does the GTX fare in warmer weather? Thanks again!
Jason, I can't thank you enough for supporting our brand. Never hesitate to reach out if you need anything. I seriously appreciate it. Yeah man, I do need to make a video on the boots. I live in a warm weather climate and I've never had an issue with them.
I find it kind of scary I just received the resistance bands from Amazon nd your the first video popped up on my RUclips channel I had no idea I ordered from y’all
Wondering if you could test out the hard head veteran ballistic helmet it's about 500 like the helmet you run but sometimes it's a "you get what you pay for" thing and wondering if they are worth it
What's the logic of only running front and rear plates in a civilian LE environment? The overwhelming threat is handgun rounds, and I'll take all the protection (side armor) I can get when fighting in an urban environment.
most le armor doesn't stop rifle rounds. There is always a median between threat protection, movability and comfort. You can add or take away as your threat level increases.
I've just ordered my battle bottle from Amazon I had a little problem at first I was looking for it for a week as I live in the UK and I find it in the end can't wait to start using it and love your videos keep up the great work
How do you think the Kore Belt will compare with your others in terms of rigidity and use? I also EDC one of Kore's regular belts and I appreciate how you can immediately tell it is reinforced. To me, those double layer cobra buckle belts always look floppy and without having any in hand, I doubt they're going to be as good feeling as Kore's ratcheting system that I've learned to love. I'm trying to decide, would value your thoughts since you have more than 3 on hand to compare!
So far the Core seems equally as rigid. I of course don't really have any solid experience with it, but I believe it is quality. I think I'd make my decision based on which buckle system you prefer.
@@IronInfidel Thanks! Do you also happen to know if the Kore belt will work with those popular Blade Tek clips (regular or large)?. I want to get Kore but I see that the ratcheting buckle's loose end covers some of the opposite side's molle space. I use that space to mount a flashlight or a horizontal TQ holder.
Man I'd love to get some UF Pro pants but I'm a 38-40 waist (based on brand) and 30 inseam...and the only pants I've ever worn, aside from issued BDU/ACU with bitton flies, that fit well with those measurements have a fly that doesn't go down far enough and I can't afford to spend the money on their gear without trying it on first and knowing it'll fit right and not be an improvised TQ when I try to pee lol. I looked into Solomons too but they don't really have anything I'd wear in a wide size. Being short and stocky athletic build sucks for sizing 😅
It’s not you. Most footwear is absolute garbage, regardless of how it “feels”. Major shoe manufacturers are still making pointy elf shoes and last I checked, none of us are elves. Shoes should naturally have a wide toe box and allow for the foot to spread and toes to splay. We also wouldn’t walk around all day wearing high heels, and yet that’s what a majority of people do, because “modern” footwear has a huge heel drop which is the same as wearing heels. Doesn’t make sense when you start to think about ergonomics and actually comfortability, not the perceived 5 minutes you have to wear them around the store or when compared to a more uncomfortable shoe, so it makes the new one seem “comfy”. Cheers!
They're not Solomon, for sure, but I love my Merrell Moab 2 Mid Gtx Hiking Boots. I have a narrow heel and a wide toe box and these fit great- don't slip in the heel but give my forefoot room to spread out.
Ok kinda a weird question but I’m a senior in highschool and graduating soon.I’m really interested in law enforcement and am looking into being a cop and then trying to get higher and eventually would love to be in swat type stuff.but I’m a very quiet introverted person.I just don’t know if someone like me could be in law enforcement because you literally have to enforce the law and on of the Maine things you need for law enforcement is social skills.Idk just something I’ve been thinking about but loving the videos man really inspiring
Just get out there and develop those social skills. There's Meetup if you want to find people with similar interests, there are explorer programs with most Police and Sheriff's departments that will link you up with people your age and are trying to go down the same path. And speaking with women is something that pays dividends since those tend to be the most difficult interactions for the majority of guys. Build up that confidence and you'll do great man
Of course man. What you consider a detriment is actually a strength. You don't sound like you have an ego which is what gets LEO's into trouble. You're willing to reach out for help and listen to what people have to say. That's an important level of social skills in itself, brother. Don't overthink your pitfalls, focus on your strengths and the rest will fall into place. We all have to start somewhere.
Nicolas, I was always a very very shy person as a kid and into my teens. I am still not the most social guy. You absolutely can get to where you want to be.
I Myself want the Battle Bottles , and Yes, if I need the IR Strobe Light, Ear Pro with Comms , and, an Aircraft Tether Line, it means that , more than likely, these items will be mandatory for use in any Mission Dependent SHTF OPS scenario.
I never used multicam black or multicam for duty purposes. Our team always stuck with ranger green. Personally, I think ranger green or multicam is the better option, over MCB.
I think one of the big differences between the $500 dollar helmet and $1,000 helmet is the more expensive one might have less deformation when hit. They might both be rated the same but if one dents in enough when hit to cause brain injury then I’d rather have the more expensive one.
It is amazing how many Brands and types of items you can find in the tactical gear World if I will put all together that was that I like I could fill up a whole Warehouse
You say those Solomon 4d’s lasted you 5 years, as in 1 pair? I have a pair of Haix Mission’s that have gone strong for 7 years and they’re just now reaching the end. I’ve been considering replacing them with the 4d, but hear mixed reviews on their durability.
@@IronInfidel thanks for this, I think I’ll give them a try. Haix discontinued my model, and what they replaced it with doesn’t share the same features.
Hard to believe you get five years out of Salomon boots. I am issued the same boots every year and by the end of the first year the soles have completely fallen off. I am now issued 2 pair a year I love the boots for swamps exc but they don’t hold up for me. I am a county canine handler Maybe I just train harder than you 😉
Haha no love from the K9s. I guess I should clarify. Not 5 years of daily use. But 5 years of frequent use. For patrol, yeah I doubt they would last a full 5.
@@IronInfidel Great content. And every time you say, “In the 90’s they did…..” “In the 90’s they carried this….” I laugh at myself. 17 years LEO (swat, scat, fto, academy, air unit, JTTF, Chief, blah, blah, blah) now flying for a living. 🚁❤️🇺🇸
One difference between a $500 helmet and a $1000 helmet is backface deformation. One will save your life and allow you to enjoy the rest of it. One will save your life only to have you drooling all over yourself for the rest of it. Don't EVER go cheap on a helmet. I'd rather have to $500 headset and the $1000 helmet than vice versa.
I don't think I’ll get an answer but I’ll ask anyway, I'm 24 almost done with my bachelor's in Public Security, my end goal is to join the FBI HRTs, I don't have any military background I'm thinking of joining the SWAT team in Puerto Rico, but I don't know if it counts as experience or do I have to move to a US state that has a SWAT team to get a valid experience to them ?
Most don't. Most use RG, black or even blue. But many LE departments work in rural environments, of which multicam is significantly more useful than black. There is more to it than rolling up to the house in a bearcat. There are perimeter positions that need filled prior to BC arrival, sniper overwatch, etc. It really depends on your work environment, but to think LE fall into a one sized fits all color or pattern is the wrong way to think about things.
This is how stupid the ATF is with their rules. A SWAT police officer has to use a pistol brace as a stock. I’ve seen patrol officers running “pistol” length rifles with braces in their cars. Mind boggling our actual sworn police officers can’t even run a rifle the way it’s intended because, ATF rules. Great video btw.
I'm a retired US Army ranger and don't wear half of the crap this guys wear. This is ridiculous, I hope this guys have military backgrounds otherwise they are just a mockery. Not even while deployed I wear the amount of crap this guys wear just to go to the range 😂😂😂😂😂
Well Alex is a SWAT guy, Mike is a 2nd Batt Ranger and Others here have been SF and Rangers. Were you Ranger School or did you serve in batt because our kit was pretty loaded out when I was in.

Why would you get multicam black? For night operations? I think any other option would be more viable as actual camouflage than that pattern.
I never used multicam black or multicam for duty purposes. Our team always stuck with ranger green. Personally, I think ranger green or multicam is the better option, over MCB.
The crazy part is most battles will be caught close urban gun fights no time for full gear

How are you running a leg strap with that holster? Certain part you have to order? I’m seeing the CT2-A.
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Whats the name of the gloves?
PIG Full Dexterity Gloves
38 seconds in, what optic is that? Is that eotech with a dust cover or something else?
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
I can't believe you kept your boots for 5 years I'd blow through those every 3 to 6 months
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Whats that Bullpup ? looks like an HK MDRX :D
Springfield Hellion🤜🤛
@@IronInfidel uhh fresh stuff
What primarys does the swat use? Or do they have the freedom to pick?
Depends on the agency. Some use glocks for pistols and BCM or other nice AR's for rifles.
Good stuff
Thank you!
love swat they kick in people's doors that isn't even their target
Much appreciated.
Awesome video man 😎📈
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
You say those Solomon 4d’s lasted you 5 years, as in 1 pair? I have a pair of Haix Mission’s that have gone strong for 7 years and they’re just now reaching the end. I’ve been considering replacing them with the 4d, but hear mixed reviews on their durability.
The Quest 4D's have held up great. Yes, 5 years on a single boot. Now that is not daily use, but pretty frequent.
@@IronInfidel thanks for this, I think I’ll give them a try. Haix discontinued my model, and what they replaced it with doesn’t share the same features.
I pay 230 bucks for boots that only last a year in the environment i work in. Luckily i get 145 towards it by the company
Much appreciated.
Were to I buy magzine kite
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Just get the sunglasses and you'll be all set.
Much appreciated.
The only sad part about UF Pro gear is buying from their website, almost nothing is in stock 😂😭
That tends to happen
Hey what was the sight on the AR in the last shot in the intro video please?
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
Great video. Looking to buy a ballistic helmet. Will check out the helmet you use. Thanks brother. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
Does SWAT allow you to have patches on your vest
All teams have different policies. Our team was very flexible with uniform standards.
Hard to believe you get five years out of Salomon boots. I am issued the same boots every year and by the end of the first year the soles have completely fallen off. I am now issued 2 pair a year I love the boots for swamps exc but they don’t hold up for me. I am a county canine handler Maybe I just train harder than you 😉
Haha no love from the K9s. I guess I should clarify. Not 5 years of daily use. But 5 years of frequent use. For patrol, yeah I doubt they would last a full 5.
I love gear vids. So learning you have hours worth of videos makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.
Glad you like them. We will have more coming.
Would the kore ratcheting battle belt work with a full patrol setup?
No that is not a duty belt rig.
Love it
Thanks brother!!!
I missed the link on the helmet. Where did you buy the helmet for $500 ? Thanks
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.

Much appreciated.
3 Battle Bottles ordered and delivered. I’ll get them into use when I get home from traveling for work. 🚁❤️🇺🇸
That's Awesome John! Thank you for supporting our brand!
@@IronInfidel Great content. And every time you say, “In the 90’s they did…..” “In the 90’s they carried this….” I laugh at myself. 17 years LEO (swat, scat, fto, academy, air unit, JTTF, Chief, blah, blah, blah) now flying for a living. 🚁❤️🇺🇸
Nice video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Hell yeah! And niiice gear man@@IronInfidel
If the military says things like oorah, hoorah, and hooyah; what is the saying for SWAT?
TWAT
yea,thats cheaper than my Pelican. kinda wish i got the duffel now. lol
Solid stuff.
Im just looking here and going… “yup cant afford that…” haha
haha yeah it can get pretty expensive. Thanks for the comment and sorry about the delayed response.
@@IronInfidel lol. No worries. Youre a busy dude. 🇺🇸🤙🏼
The 5.11 CAMS seems better then the Hercules. The wheels and other parts are replaceable.
Yeah
0:36 want sum? Get sum
Much appreciated.
Be nice if I could find a pc for me. Nothing fits decent!
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
God bless you bro!
Thanks for watching.
Of course!
You look related to Canelo Alvarez with the hat on 😂
I've heard that a couple times haha
so this is basically an AD
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
One difference between a $500 helmet and a $1000 helmet is backface deformation. One will save your life and allow you to enjoy the rest of it. One will save your life only to have you drooling all over yourself for the rest of it. Don't EVER go cheap on a helmet. I'd rather have to $500 headset and the $1000 helmet than vice versa.
Well yes and no. And fbi study showed most the high end one ms didn't fare well when hit from the side
Cool intro - I’m new

I don't think I’ll get an answer but I’ll ask anyway, I'm 24 almost done with my bachelor's in Public Security, my end goal is to join the FBI HRTs, I don't have any military background I'm thinking of joining the SWAT team in Puerto Rico, but I don't know if it counts as experience or do I have to move to a US state that has a SWAT team to get a valid experience to them ?
I think a basic requirement is that you know how to use grammar.
Hrt is an elite team. You'll need to do your time and work into it.
Why does SWAT, and other LE boys, like Multicam so much?
Most don't. Most use RG, black or even blue. But many LE departments work in rural environments, of which multicam is significantly more useful than black. There is more to it than rolling up to the house in a bearcat. There are perimeter positions that need filled prior to BC arrival, sniper overwatch, etc. It really depends on your work environment, but to think LE fall into a one sized fits all color or pattern is the wrong way to think about things.
@@IronInfidel couldn’t have gotten a better answer, thanks.
Hi guys, hello from Russia.
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
Complains about $230 boots that last 5 years but has multiple pairs of pants that cost $270 each.
My boots cost 550$ and am lucky to get a year out of them. Worn at least 40 hours a week.
@@Dunk1It1Hard ripoff
@@HarryKuloh caulked boots ain’t cheap
If you know where to find boots that last longer than a year I’m sure guys would buy them
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.

Ups....
Not that I am picky.....
Content great anyway.

Beautiful uniform I love America 🇺🇸
Much appreciated.

This is how stupid the ATF is with their rules. A SWAT police officer has to use a pistol brace as a stock. I’ve seen patrol officers running “pistol” length rifles with braces in their cars. Mind boggling our actual sworn police officers can’t even run a rifle the way it’s intended because, ATF rules. Great video btw.
It not due to the aft rules
Thanks for watching here!

I'm a retired US Army ranger and don't wear half of the crap this guys wear. This is ridiculous, I hope this guys have military backgrounds otherwise they are just a mockery. Not even while deployed I wear the amount of crap this guys wear just to go to the range 😂😂😂😂😂
It is not a mockery if they used it for their work, no one asked you for an option.
Well Alex is a SWAT guy, Mike is a 2nd Batt Ranger and Others here have been SF and Rangers. Were you Ranger School or did you serve in batt because our kit was pretty loaded out when I was in.
