Keep an ace in the hole These days, it pays to be prepared for the unexpected. But it isn't always convenient to carry a handgun or knife at your side. And advertising your back-up weapon defeats it's purpose. Our Guide Gear Bandit Boots are the perfect way to carry your primary or back-up defense. Reinforced loop holes in the shaft allow for secure placement of your knife sheath or holster, keeping your insurance policy within easy arm's reach when you need to react quickly. Guaranteed waterproof/breathable comfort. Guide Dry waterproof/breathable technology is our top level of waterproof protection, and it's a key ingredient in our premium footwear. How does it work? It's simple. Water molecules are larger than vapor molecules. Guide Dry features a special membrane with tiny pores that prevent larger water molecules from penetrating the exterior. Meanwhile, smaller vapor molecules are able to pass through, transferring body heat and sweat from the inside out. The result is 100% waterproof protection, without the stuffy feel of traditional waterproof material. It's all about keeping you in your comfort zone longer, so you can take your adventure to the next level without worrying about the weather. Premium full-grain leather Intricately stitched detail throughout, including bulls' head motif
