These YDS Kestrel Patrol Boots have been specifically developed for the British military.
These boots fall within the MOD's specification for "Boots Desert Patrol (BDP)". The official specification states "The BDP is primarily for use where the combat threat is medium to low and patrol pack weight is light. As the threat level in any situation can accelerate the BDP may also be used for heavy combat use for limited periods. Terrain including desert, sand, road, field, track, rubble and rock. The area of use and terrain embraces climatic areas A1/A2 as described in Defence Standard 00-35 (Part 4); this covers temperatures ranging from -10°C to +45°C and 0%rH to 80%rH. The extremes of this range will be for short periods of use and in combination i.e. with Warm Weather or ECW socks.
The YDS factory in Turkey produces around 10,000 police and military boots a day - more than any other manufacturer in Europe. Across 40 countries worldwide YDS has become a specialist in technical footwear that has proved invaluable to many industries. The mix of high output, manufacturing skill and technology has given YDS an enviable reputation.
These are used boots and so may arrive with some mud and/or scuffs and scratches, but they are very rugged and so have plenty of life left in them. We cannot offer any guarantees as to the cosmetic condition of these boots.
Now reduced to clear - limited sizes remaining.
