Magnum USA has issued a press release with images of their all-MultiCam Sidewinder HPi and Spider 8.1 HPi boots.
These boots have been in development for more than a year with the aid of American, British and Southern Hemisphere Special Forces personnel, which also includes field testing in Afghanistan.
These will officially be launching at SHOT Show 2011 with a June release date. You can check these out for yourself, if you’ll be at the show, by visiting Magnum USA’s booth (#11164).Features Spider 8.1 HPi

- Spider out-sole with reinforced stabilizers and flexible toe fins to silently stick to walls
- Vent-Guard™ sand-proof ventilator technology - This advanced, patent pending system is the best way to keep your foot breathable while keeping debris out. It was designed specifically to allow airflow at the point where the boot bends the most and builds up heat. As the foot flexes, air is cycled through both sides of the boot, keeping the foot cooler for longer. There is also a special filter layer within each Vent-Guard port that allows this flow of air while keeping out sand and other unwanted materials.
- Fast-Rope System with SuperFabric® - SuperFabric® materials were specially selected as the very best way to protect the uppers from abrasion damage caused by fast-roping. This material is laced with ceramic, making it highly heat-resistant—a must-have feature for operators and trainers. The exo-frame build also includes a curved, hard composite piece at the instep that wraps around the rope correctly. It is highly resistant to melting or other damage. The lateral side of the out-sole also has a 90-degree edge for reliable braking to slow decent.
