This jacket is so comfortable and warm, I love it! It’s my new fav jacket.

Correctional officer so heard raves about 5.11's. Good boot so far with being on your feet. Only issue is a white film that showed up on the leather around the toe area. I polished them and with in few hours the film is back.

Two things first: 1. The boots do run a bit small, so order at least a half size bigger than you normally wear. (I wear size 11 and ordered an 11.5 and they fit perfectly). 2. The soles on the boots are not shiny like the picture displays. With that said, the boots are very lightweight and very comfortable. The zipper access is also a plus as I am getting older and it's becoming more of a challenge to push my foot into boots without that access. Also, I've never been a fan of speed lacing. Too much work and trouble. These boots don't have that. What they do have is the traditional eyelets all the way up and with those eyelets, I can just tie the boot strings, forget about it, and then put them on and off via the side zip method. Work smarter, not harder as it were. I cannot give any rating on durability because I just received them. However, my initial rating is 5 stars because: - Lightweight - Look and feel - Side zip access - Traditional eyelets as opposed to the speed lacing Providing the durability holds up for what I have planned for these boots (normal wear and hiking around my wooded property), I will be buying more of the 5.11's from this site.
