Texar Combat Shirt

Texar Combat Shirt keeps things practical without trying too hard.

Lightweight, durable and quick drying, it's made for movement, layering and long days outdoors. The stretch centre panel keeps it comfortable under a vest, pack or jacket, while the tougher sleeves bring the field-ready feel.

Elbow pockets allow room for protective inserts, shoulder panels are ready for patches, and the YKK zip collar helps shield the neck from wind, straps and general outdoor unpleasantness.

Adjustable cuffs mean no flapping sleeves when you're getting stuck in. Ideal for airsoft, training, hiking, or bushcraft.

Rite in the Rain All-Weather Tough Universal Top Spiral Notebook

Some kit looks simple until you actually need it. Then it becomes the thing you’re weirdly grateful you packed.

With handy rulers, conversion charts and map scales printed on the cover, it’s made for quick notes, rough sketches, measurements, grid refs, job lists and all the tiny details your phone battery won’t remember for you.

Handy for the range, workshop, campsite, van, hike or shift.

Protektor Grom Unique 929 Tactical Boots with Membrane

Protektor Grom Unique 929 has that sandy, no-nonsense look that feels right at home on dry trails, rough worksites and anywhere your footwear is likely to earn its keep.

Under the beige nubuck upper there's a waterproof membrane, reinforced toe, shock-absorbing sole and cold insulation, so it’s not just posing for the camera.

The tread is built for grip, ladder work and shedding muck, while the sole resists diesel, acids and brief contact with hot ground up to 180°C.

Handy, because the outdoors rarely reads the product manual.

Metal-free, breathable, easy to clean and quietly tough.
