Viktos is not your typical veteran-owned tactical gear company. I’m a big fan of Viktos gear and have purchased a lot of Viktos products on my own dime. I find most of their offerings thoughtfully designed with very useful features.

What really keeps me coming back is the fit, though. 

Everything I’ve bought fits very well, like it was built for normal dudes. I’m 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weigh 205 pounds. Usually, XL is baggy on me and Large is tight. With Viktos, size Medium fits me like a glove: not too tight and not too loose. It’s amazing.

Here are the new items from Viktos for 2024.
 

1911 Retro Boot

The 1911 Retro Boot is your everyday work boot for guys who are on their feet all day. It features premium water-resistant Nubuck leather, 20-ounce waxed canvas NyCo, a Vibram Christy outsole, and hi-rebound EVA insole for increased comfort.
 

Core Combat Shoe

The Core Combat is the high-top version of Viktos’ popular Core gym shoe. It is built with a durable leather chassis, pararigger sidewall webbing, and a hi-rebound EVA midsole. The 4.5-inch height gives ankle support, and the larger volume forefoot allows foot splay when you land hard. The volume on these shoes is awesome.
 

Operatus XP Glove

The Operatus XP glove is a minimalist shooter's glove priced at only $25. It has a four-way stretch polyester mesh backhand and an AX Suede microfiber palm. The one-piece design allows excelled dexterity for gun handling. 
 

The top of the finger is reinforced to endure stippled trigger guards, and the thumb is reinforced to resist slide bite. This is a steal for $25.
 

Recovery Sandal

The footbed on this sandal can be heated and molded to your foot for maximum support and comfort. I own a previous version of this sandal, and it is the most comfortable flip-flop I own. It has a few updates to the strap for a more minimal look and improved comfort.
 

Counteract CCW Slingbag

The Counteract series of bags is all about discreet off-body conceal and carry. The CCW Slingbag has a cool feature that allows you to pull on a tab and have the gun pop out of the bag. It’s an innovative and fast design. 
 

It comes with a fabric holster, or you could Velcro your own holster into it. The gun compartment fits a full-sized pistol.

In addition to the CCW capability, it’s a great sling bag. It’s made of 500d polyester ripstop and has a padded shoulder strap with a quick-release buckle. Zippers are YKK with quiet pulls. There is also a back panel designed for IIIA ballistic soft armor (sold separately).
 

Counteract 15 Backpack

This backpack version of the Counteract CCW Slingbag has all the same features, just a bit more room. The laptop sleeve can fit up to a 17-inch laptop.
