ROCKY S2V PREDATOR WATERPROOF MILITARY BOOTS

The Rocky S2V Predator takes the legendary stability of the S2V platform and seals it against the elements. While the standard S2V is designed to drain, the Predator is designed to keep water out entirely. Engineered for operators facing cold rain, mud, and standing water, this boot features Rocky’s advanced Vapor Pass Waterproof Technology—a proprietary membrane backed by a 1-year guarantee to keep your feet bone-dry without sacrificing breathability.

Fully GSA/TAA Compliant and authorized for wear with OCP uniforms under DA-PAM 670-1, the Predator is a fortress for your feet. It combines flash-resistant leather and 1,000 Denier CORDURA® with the famous Roll-Stop Ankle Stability™ system, ensuring you stay upright and combat-effective on the most treacherous terrain. The high-walled Vibram® outsole is both stitched and cemented to the upper, providing a bombproof foundation that won't delaminate when the mission gets tough.

FEATURES:

• Vapor Pass Waterproofing: Rocky's "most superior dry experience." This advanced membrane blocks 100% of external liquid while allowing internal sweat vapor to escape, crucial for preventing blisters during wet rucks.
  
  
• GSA & TAA Compliant: Manufactured in a Trade Agreements Act designated country, making this boot eligible for government contracts and GSA purchase (distinguishing it from the Berry Compliant RKC050).
  
  
• Roll-Stop Ankle Stability™: The rounded outsole edge and high-top structural support work together to prevent ankle rolls on uneven ground.
  
  
• Flash & Flame Resistance: The leather is chemically treated to resist flash fires, and the entire boot is coated for flame resistance, adding a layer of safety for vehicle crews and flight line ops.
  
  
• Stitched Vibram® Outsole: The proprietary high-walled Vibram sole is stitched directly to the upper (not just glued), ensuring it remains attached even after months of abuse in mud and water.
  
  
• Rocky® Air-Port™ Footbed: A perforated polyurethane insole that cushions every step and promotes air circulation inside the waterproof barrier.
  
  
• Stretch LYCRA® Tongue: Hugs the instep for a secure fit, keeping debris out and the tongue centered during movement.

Sizing & Fit Guide

• Fit Profile: Spacious & Stable. True to Size. Like all S2Vs, the Predator offers a generous toe box to accommodate foot swelling.
  
  
• Unisex Sizing: These boots are sized in Men's sizes.
• Women's Sizing: Subtract 2 sizes from your standard women's size. (e.g., Women's 9 = Men's 7).
  
  
• Break-in Period: Moderate. The waterproof membrane and thick leather make this boot slightly stiffer initially than the non-waterproof version. Give it 2-3 days of wear before a long ruck.

Comparison: Predator vs. Standard S2V

Confusion often arises between the RKC127 (Predator) and the RKC050 (Standard S2V). Here is how to choose:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Is this boot Berry Compliant (Made in USA)?
  
  No. The RKC127 is TAA Compliant (Trade Agreements Act). It is made in a partner nation. If your unit strictly mandates Berry Compliant (US Made) boots, you must buy the RKC050. If your unit allows AR 670-1 compliant boots regardless of origin, this boot is authorized.
  
  
• How does the waterproof membrane affect the breathability and thermal regulation of the boot?
  
  Due to the integration of the Vapor Pass waterproof membrane, the Predator model inherently retains more heat than the fully vented RKC050. This makes it an exceptional choice for temperate to cold, wet climates. For operations in extreme heat or arid desert environments exceeding 100°F, we highly recommend the non-waterproof standard S2V (RKC050) to ensure optimal airflow and prevent overheating.
