In 2013, on the request of one company closely co-
operating with US SOF teams, Salomon released a
special edition of extremely popular XA Pro 3D hik-
ing boot, for elite unites, called Murdered Out". They
were same ultra lightweight footwear but complete-
ly black, without any reflective elements and they
sold out very quickly. That is why someone started
to think about forming Salomon lineup dedicated
to military ad law enforcement users which could
be also a perfect addition to the Arc'teryx LEAF tac-
tical clothing. That was the begining of FORCES line,
which was described in detail in FRAG OUT! #04
while one of its models, Quest 4D Forces, appeared
in FRAG OUT! #07.
Salomon FORCES XA Pro 3D is not one model, but
four different shoes:
Ä XA Pro 3D – low-cut hiking boot,
Ä XA Pro 3D GTX – low-cut boot GORE-TEX
Performance Comfort membrane,
Ä XA Pro 3D Mid – a mid-height boot,
Ä XA Pro 3D Mid GTX – a mid-height boot
with a GORE-TEX Performance Comfort,
