Military Equipment®: Empowering Heroes with Quality Gear
Founded in 2005 by Naik Vinod Kumar (Retd), a distinguished ex-commando of the prestigious 9 PARA SF, Military Equipment® is a brand born out of experience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to providing top-tier tactical gear for the Indian Armed Forces. Having endured some of the world’s most arduous and inhospitable environments during his service, Vinod Kumar’s background has been the cornerstone of the brand’s success.
Our Story: From Battlefield to Innovation
During his service, Naik Vinod Kumar faced extreme conditions—from the freezing tundra to the scorching deserts and dense jungles. The constant demand for high-quality, reliable military equipment in such challenging environments inspired him to establish Military Equipment®. Today, our company continues to supply elite forces across India, including the MARCOS, Special Forces, Anti-Terror Squads, Ghatak Forces, Special Frontier Forces, COBRA, National Security Guards, Special Task Force, Anti Terror Squad and many more.
Our products are designed with the utmost attention to detail, offering the highest standards of durability and performance in the most demanding climates. From cold, harsh tundra to humid jungles and arid deserts, Military Equipment® is trusted by the Indian Armed Forces and internationally.
Unmatched Quality and Innovation
At Military Equipment®, we operate with complete transparency, ensuring our clients fully understand the value and worth of every product. Our gear is made using world-class fabrics, zippers, and raw materials sourced from both national and international brands renowned for their quality. Each product undergoes rigorous testing and multiple stages of development to ensure that it meets the highest performance standards before it reaches our customers.
Failure is not an option for us. We push both ourselves and our products to the limit, ensuring that every piece of gear is designed with functionality and reliability at its core. Our founder’s military experience drives our focus on producing products that never compromise on performance or durability.
Founder’s Legacy: A Journey of Excellence
Naik Vinod Kumar (Retd) began his journey with the 14 Garhwal Rifles in 1988 and later volunteered for the elite 9 PARA (SF) in 1991. His service in the National Security Guard (NSG) from 1995 to 1998 further enriched his experience. As a key participant in numerous counter-insurgency operations, including Operations Rakshak, Vijay, and Parakram, Vinod Kumar witnessed firsthand the improvement needed in available products of the gear available to the troops. This deep understanding of the operational challenges faced by soldiers led to the creation of Military Equipment®, with the vision to provide durable, comfortable, and practical gear for soldiers in the field.
