      5.11 changed something around 2020 and now their pants (and clothing in general) do not measure/fit correctly. I have several pairs of Ridgelines that I purchased from Scottsdale Gun Club back in 2019 and the fitment is drastically different versus the new iterations.

    Beautiful Mal!! I’ve never personally owned a Mal, but being involved in Schutzhund & French Ringsport as an Agitator/Decoy I can appreciate the Mal’s ability to do things my Rottweilers couldn’t & do things much much faster than a Shepherd. That’s a great example of a Malinois. We called them German Shepherds with a Twin Turbo! If I didn’t just turn 50 I’d consider getting one, but my body & endurance aren’t the same so it wouldn’t be fair to Super Mal not giving him required exercise. BEAUTIFUL DOG!!

      Originally Weatherproof vintage pants from Costco are great work/EDC/urban tactical pants for around $20-$25. 5.11 is overpriced. I purchased 10 pairs from Costco in case they stop selling them. Many earth colors available. Much better and so far they are holding up at work (construction) just fine.

      I have complaints about the Stryke line, but durability isn’t one of them. I wear them every day on the farm, and they’re holding up just fine. I don’t like how they’ve gone to a more “skinny” fit through the legs, but I have gotten a little used to it.

    • @DT-ww4gv

      Also my friend wears 5.11 boots and I've been listening to him complain every hunting season. He finely got some Danner boots like I've been telling him to get for years and this hunting season he was like I can't believe how good these are. I think with 5.11 you are paying for the name mostly. You are getting some gear that is pretty good but there clothing line is not that special at all. Definitely not work the coin you drop on it. If you do a lot of hiking, hunting or work outside in the Pacific northwest you are going to find what works or be miserable.

    I'm glad they are doing a variation on the Norris with far better tread. I had been wearing nothing but the 5.11 Range Masters for years and I'm guessing they have discontinued the Range Masters in favour of the Norris line which was disappointing to me because the Norris sneakers a comfortable but have absolutely no grip so I refuse to wear them. If the Mcclane line has good grip than I can go back to wearing 5.11 shoes again.

    You, James, really are the perfect host for this channel; knows his s***, can back it up on the range, genuinely funny, and has the gift of putting interviewees/guests at ease (which facilitates smoother communication, and thus more thorough interviews). I know. It sounds like I'm angling to pucker up to your kiester, and although the latent homosexual part of me that is in all of us "pixel operators" (you know who you are, my brethren) might relish the oppo, I really just wanted to say "thanks", and wish you and yours the best. 🤙

    Thought I'd use this video as a product review. After last years Shot Show (2022), I took your suggestion and bought a pair of the Norris High Top sneakers. I did the black/white version and I have to say they're pretty comfortable for me (narrow feet).
    The problem
    Like many other reviews, they are splitting on the top of the 'Toe Box' area where they fold. Searching reviews shows this as a common thing. I have reached out to customer service and to date they have not responded. The newer version looks like the same material as the old version. I wouldn't take the chance, they're expensive and they apparently don't back their product and there are better options out there. I still wear mine even though they are splitting more and more. People mention my shoes and I let them know, "don't even waste your money, look how these things are falling apart".

    I will definitely buy the bdu stuff from 511 if they made it available

    Wish they would have gone more into what separates the McLane from the Norris. I found the Norris terribly uncomfortable.

      I love the Norris but if you have wide feet, ngmi.
