The protection system in our boot, unique in design and application of materials, incorporates features in the upper as well as the sole of the boot. The main protection system in the sole makes our boot very flexible and maneuverable compared to other antipersonnel landmines boots currently
available in the market.
Another unique feature is the weight of our boot. Even with the added protection system our boot weighs only about 950g per boot. This makes them suitable for prolonged use without compromising performance by the user.
Our combat boots were independently tested by the Carnfield University Ordnance Test and Evaluation Center in the United Kingdom against certain common types of anti-personnel landmine of different explosive charge sizes. The test was conducted under strict conditions against what we believe to be two of the most likely scenarios. Firstly, stepping on an anti-personnel landmine at the heel and secondly, at the ball of the foot.
Our test results show that our boots can provide substantial protection against anti-personnel landmines. These tests were not uniformly successful against all anti-personnel landmine types tested, but they did show that our boots can provide substantial protection against high velocity fragments, debris and hot gas streams created during blast from particular common types of anti-personnel landmines at certain explosive charges.
