Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Is the Coyote Garmont 9.81 Alert authorized for military uniform wear?

No. While it features the authorized Coyote color, the 9.81 Alert is a 4-inch tactical hiker. Standard military uniform regulations (like AR670-1) strictly require an 8-inch boot height. This shoe is specifically designed for off-duty wear, outdoor range training, tactical hiking, and civilian use.

• Are the Garmont 9.81 Alert boots waterproof?

No. The 9.81 Alert is intentionally non-waterproof to maximize breathability. The lightweight polyester mesh allows heat and sweat to escape rapidly, making it the perfect tactical shoe for hot weather hiking and active outdoor wear.

• What makes this a good tactical hiker?

It combines the rugged, slip-resistant traction of a combat boot with the lightweight, breathable mobility of a trail running shoe. The Vibram® Megagrip outsole ensures you maintain your footing on wet rocks and steep inclines without the heavy leg fatigue associated with traditional hiking boots.
