How to choose tactical equipment for the IDF? A complete guide for soldiers in regular service and reserves

The equipment you choose to take into combat duty or to the training area directly affects comfort, efficiency, and operational performance. An informed choice of quality tactical equipment is a tool for everything – just like a weapon or shoes.

Whether you are a new recruit, a regular soldier, a reserve soldier, or a member of advanced units such as the patrol, the Kingfisher, or the 669th – your choice of equipment is no less important than your combat fitness or the weapon you will carry. A smart investment up front brings with it more accurate performance, security, and lasting comfort.

For us, the only stars are the warriors, the soldiers. We do not accept payment in stars, but offer a variety of solutions tailored to every budget – including the option of consultation and guidance before purchase.

Equipment that proves itself in the field

Various brands on the market have become synonymous with quality and durability – and we are not ashamed to say that you will find products of this level with us as well. Our team carefully selects each item, so that you can feel confident with what you have, in any operational situation or during training.

What is important to check when choosing equipment?

• Durability – the equipment needs to survive daily use, dust, water and sweat
• Simplicity – easy to operate even under pressure
• Compatibility – Suitable for standard weapon equipment or clothing
• Comfort – because you’ll be with it for hours
