Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What changed from the Oakley Light Assault 2 to the Light Assault 3?

The Light Assault 3 introduces a newer Oakley design with a more modern tactical profile, an enclosed Lace-Lock system, and an updated performance outsole focused on traction and longer service life. It keeps the lightweight, athletic feel that made the Light Assault line popular while giving the boot a cleaner and more updated build.

• Is the Oakley Light Assault 3 approved for OCP uniform wear?

Yes. The Coyote Brown Oakley Light Assault 3 is listed as AR 670-1 and AFI 36-2903 compliant, making it authorized for OCP uniform wear where approved by Army and Air Force regulations.

• Is the enclosed Lace-Lock system better than traditional speed loops?

The enclosed Lace-Lock system is designed for quick slip-on/off and secure lace tension while reducing exposed hardware. This gives the Light Assault 3 a cleaner profile and helps keep the fit locked in during training, range use, garrison wear, and active movement.

• Who should choose the Light Assault 3 instead of a heavier combat boot?

Choose the Light Assault 3 if you want an authorized OCP boot with a lighter, more athletic feel for garrison, training, patrol, and everyday military duty. If your priority is heavy rucking with maximum structure under very heavy loads, a stiffer load-bearing boot may be a better match.
