I got wrong size and replaced it. Instead of the Trajectory Hybrid I got the older version Flight Series which actually I was trying to replace. This was a newer model of the Flight Series and the one thing I did not like is they got rid of the zipper vents under the arms which eliminates the build up of moisture when you exercise considerably. Also they did not carry the rip cord material all around the jacket. The back has a thinner material and I hope it is somewhat water resistant for light shower type problems. I was pleased with the older Flight Series and hope this is as good. One thing I learned is that these materials they are made of do reqire some washing to remove the body sweat and oil. Otherwise the coatings on the jacket deteriorate. I am hoping to get as many hiking days out of this one as my older worn out Flight Series. Five stars are if it performs like the previous.

As I read the reviews I wonder if we are discussing the same boot. This is my second pair. I wore the first pair everyday on either a hike or walking for about 2 years. I finally just wore the soles out. I never had any problems as a few other reviewers. It could be a quality control issue but who knows. The person who had a separation should definitly talk to a company rep. They would probably make it good. I do find the Europeon brand boots tend to size out slightly larger than the american. I wear a 9 1/2- 10 and this boot I ended up with is a 44 which is a 10 1/2 boot and fits nicely and has room for a very heavy winter sock which I need as I hike often on long winter hikes in snow and ice with crampons. I seldom read reviews since like this one they tend to differ greatly. I am personally well pleased with the boot.
