Currently I use Garmont SitkaGTX for winter, and Garmont T8 jungle boots for every other occasion. T8 is simple and durable boot with vibram, not too much padding which makes me sweat and so far itīs the best one I ever had. I used to wear my old Ranger school hot weather boots, and they have proven great for the jungle training, but have too thin sole for rocks in A-stan, so T8 is my solution and I really like them.

I have a pair of T8's, and they are SUPER light-weight, VERY durable, ultra comfortable and they are ready to go, right out of the box (Aside from switching the tennis shoe-like laces with ACTUAL boot laces....)... But, my only complaint is the lack of traction on hard, wet surfaces, i.e. rocks after a good rain, or ANYTHING hard and wet for that matter.
