Military Kit – Pick of the Week – MWC NATO G10 Watch (with Battery Hatch)
by admin on Mar.31, 2008, under Patrol Store
The simple and functional design of the MWC G10 NATO watch gives it a timeless look. Including a battery hatch to enable owners to change their own battery, making it only 2mm thicker than a standard G10A.
The MWC G10BH is a classic G10/98 model and although the general design is very pleasing to the eye it is nevertheless pure military and concedes nothing to fashion.
If you are looking for a solid stainless steel military watch that is water resistant, rugged, tough and built to survive the most extreme of conditions then this is the one for you. It is supplied with a current European NATO webbing strap.
Dimensions:
Width is 35mm excluding crown, and 38mm including crown
Crystal diameter is 32mm
Lug to lug is 42mm
Thickness is 11mm

by admin on Mar.28, 2008, under Patrol Store
The Patrol Store team have been waiting for this boot to arrive like a group of five year olds waiting for Christmas.
To say that we’re excited about this new addition to the range of Magnum boots would be an understatement.
The Magnum Elite Spider – 8†Leather and Nylon features many revolutionary design features that set it apart from its competition and put in a league of it’s own for use in elite tactical situations.
The boot ranks as one of the lightest boots in this market, also it features a breathable membrane that puts many of its rivals to shame.
This boot is a rival to all boots competing in the tactical boot market, this cutting-edge boot is engineered to suit the needs of the highest level elite tactical professionals, including US SWAT, UK Tactical Firearms patrols and operational task force officers.
Hopefully I’ve now got you as excited as we are about the boot let’s see what Magnum have to say about their great new boot.
“Raising the bar in the lightweight category, Magnum Elite Spider is 20% lighter than any other boot in its category.
Elite Spider’s lightweight construction suits SWAT type operational missions by keeping officers light and agile on their feet. The boot’s upper is constructed of combination fully polishable full-grain leather, lightweight action leather and highly breathable aero mesh allowing for added breathability.
Unlike most tactical boots on the market, Elite Spider is built on a running shoe structure/last making it cut out for running and physical training.
The integrated tri-density compression-moulded EVA midsole, a technology typically reserved for running footwear, provides support and comfort where needed, while a 3D Max Comfort Contoured Footbed cushions with 3 layers: comfort, support and shock absorption. A shoelace pouch conceals laces for safety and convenience.
Elite Spider’s proprietary Vibram® outsole, which exceeds international slip and oil-resistance standards, is made up of the quietest rubber compound available, generating less noise and providing a higher level of grip than the industry standard.â€
Features include:
Lightweight, Breathable Aeromesh Nylon
Full Grain/Action Leather
Running Shoe Last
‘Spidermesh’ Lining
3DMax Footbed
Composite Shank
EVA Midsole
Vibram Slip Resistant Sole
EN347 Compliant
Available in sizes 3 to 14
By creating the Elite Spider Magnum have made a boot that not only is more comfortable, lighter, and easier to use in situations where the wearer needs to be quick on their feet but with the added re-assurance of high levels of grip, stability and comfort.
Customers have stated:
“The Magnum Elite Spider is a remarkably comfortable boot, It has great breathability and a sturdy construction.â€
“Straight out of the box they are comfortable and extremely light. When walking, your foot is thrown forward like when wearing trainers, making them ideal for foot chases. This boot is great.â€

The Viper security belt patrol system is one of our top selling security products. Even though it’s not as exciting as some of the gadgets and gizmo’s I post about, if you work in a patrol environment, be it either contract security or police work this is a great bit of basic kit.
Viper security belt patrol system Features:
· Mobile phone holder.
· Glove pouch.
· Torch/baton holder.

· All on a belt with quick- release buckle. It will fit up-to size 40″.
Another great security feature is that it is fitted with a three-point release buckle, requiring 2 fingers and a thumb to release it. This prevents a situation you get with 2-point releases where people standing in front of you can undo your belt.
