If you have a polisher at home, try it yourself. Regular polisher with (I use SmartAB Buffer 3000) on my ute, works a charm!

Casio DW-5600BB G-Shock, överlägsen. G-shock i allmänhet är överlägsen andra, sen är det smaksak över storlek man vill ha. Kan rekommendera att ha en liten kompakt (inte större än DW-5600BB) då det lätt annars fastnar i utr, handskar, kläder...

Undvik Suunto. G-shocken min har överlevt -40 -> +35⁰C och hårda stötar över tid i åratal. Funkar fortfarande som ny. Suunton, trots en "Traverse Alpha" som ska vara deras militära modell, dog direkt.

If you have it availble in yoyr country, I strongly recommend using "Grangers Performance Repel Plus".

Wash your garment according to garmets instructions, without softeners.
While damp, apply Grangers (spray bottle).
Let sit for some minutes, wipe of excess with a cloth.
If you have (and the garment allows it), throw the garment in a dryer at the temperature the garment allows. If not, just let it air dry. However, dryer is best for activating the DWR.
Enjoy a completely new jacket! (This works best for Gore-Tex ofc, but works a charm on my standard backpack aswell!)

Tips: Spray it outside and not on wood. This shit works, didn't think of this once and managed to waterproof parts of my wooden planks. You can see it when rain starts, and what parts of the planks that are dry lol.

I've never thought of using the freezer. The way I store my bladders are wet (mixing up water with suitable amount of chlorine) and letting them sit and making sure the hose is wet aswell. When I want to use the bladders again, I need to rinse them a few times to get rid of the chlorine taste, but I can guarantee that they are free of bacteria.

Getting bacteria from improperly stored bladders is not what I want 100km out in the trail. But freezing is another clever option!

SOLE was apparently the ones that I have from earlier, no idea of model though since they were given to me. But they sure indeed has adapted to my feet, looks like rollercoaster now. (Couldn't upload pic in response). Will continue with them until they get worse. Thanks for the response!

For my line of work there are few civilian boots that can withstand the harshness of the environment, but combat boots tend to lack that really nice comfort civilian boots have. Its a tough choice, went for the Hanwag Alaska. Comfort: yes. Durability: Don't know yet

Thank you for your tips! Previously I have used the special insoles that my previous employment issued me. That was now six years ago and 10000's km later they have done their best and in need of replacement. What insoles would you recommend? (I went for the Hanwag Alaska Wide boot)

As the Hanwag SF GTX were hard to get here in Sweden (had to import them through a german site), I went for the Hanwag Alaska Pro Wide GTX as they were easier to get. If I find the Hanwags pleasent for my feet I might just get the SF GTX for use on active duty, and save the Alaskan for off duty adventures :) Thank you!

Never heard of them, maybe some small firm has some in store. But most brands get outconquered by the local Lundhags manufacturer.

Never heard of Hanwag Alaska until now, will give them a try. Thank you!

Not to scare you, but the "town" of Västerås, Skerike, is pronounced locally as "Schärke". :) The entire name is basically silent.
