The Fire Critic with New Magnum Boots

A few weeks ago, we talked about Magnum’s ion-mask waterproofing. Now we’ve discovered that Rhett Fleitz over at The Fire Critic is putting a pair of ion-mask boots to the test.

Mr. Fleitz has been in the Fire/EMS service for about 15 years and has probably been through his fair share of boots.

Only after 8 hours of having the boots in his possession, he was ready to give the world a preliminary glance at his Magnum Elite Force boots.

“I have had the boots on since 8am (4pm at time of post),” he writes. “I had to get through a short break in period this morning where it seemed as though the hair on my legs was being ripped off, but I made it through ok.”

He notes that the Magnum boots won’t replace his current firefighting boots. However, he said he might wear them on calls.

Look out for The Fire Critic’s full review in two weeks. For now, check out a video of Medic999, who also reviewed the Magnum boots, testing out the ion mask waterproofing feature.

“Overall, this boot is one of the best I have seen, and worn,  so far,” the blogger at Medic999 writes about the Magnum Elite Force boots. “It is lightweight, looks cool, is cool – i.e. it doesn’t make your foot feel like its in a heater, and the Ion Guard feature really does seem to work.”
