“One of the best companies, especially in todays society”

I ordered the LEAF Arcteryx jacket for my husband as a surprise. They shipped it out immediately even though it was around the holidays and my husband got it before the estimated delivery date. When he received it, he loved it of course, but asked me if I let them know we were dual military for the 10% discount, I said now. So I emailed them and asked about it and they kindly refunded me the difference with no questions asked. Wonderful customer service and respect for the military

“Charge you for shipping back a returning item.”

If I would have realized, there policy is to charge you for shipping all items back to them, regardless of the reason, I would not do business with them. Very important to read the return policy on these online companies. Today not very companies that sell online charge for return items, personally i would not do business with that type of company.

I knew what boots I wanted, and did a quick internet search to find US Elite had the best price. Ordering was simple too. When the boots arrived they fit perfectly. Would definitely recommend this site.

My pants came on time in 6 days towards my APO address and the box was not damaged. The Magpul reflex pants came in the exact size and color through the Magpul as stated. I ordered the size 30x30 which fit as a size 32; right on! I will continue to support veteran owned business from a fellow veteran.

I am very pleased with the TR Mini-mil boots. Pros: They give just enough protection with great ground feel. They fit like I expected with wide toe box. Sturdy construction with no immediate issues of workmanship. Cons: Wish they had drain vents on instep like traditional jungle boots. I got blisters on first wear due to heel slippage... I did work through this and found solutions to limit slippage issue by modifing sock combination, adjust lacing tension, and applying lubricant to feet under socks (all techniques learned from 20 years in the Infantry). There also could be more snug in the mid foot section, as there seems to be loose material no matter how tight I pull the laces, this is not a major problem with comfort, just an initial observation.

Overall I highly recommend this boot to anyone wanting a minimalistic duty boot that looks good, is comfortable, and durable for years of use.

Today not very companies that sell online charge for return items, personally i would not do business with that type of company.

Tip for consumers:
Read the RETURN POLICY before you buy.

Products used:
Salmon boots, to narrow, when I returned them, I learned I had to pay the $30 return shipping fee.

Always read the return policy before buying from an online retailer. Most retailers do not charge you for returns, US ELITE does. In today's online shopping and buying of products seems like a terrible policy. I would not buy from any company that has this policy.

Dealing with US-Elitegear has been awesome. The best products at great prices all in one place. And the customer service is amazing. I guess I shouldnt be surprised with a veteran-owned operation... but its rare to find this type of quality and service these days.

Shop offers good equipment. I am expecting a bit better contact and cheaper delivery. No return for sale products:-(

Best boots I've worn for long distance backpacking. Almost no break-in period. Great service from US Elite team.

Ordered a size too small. When I called the customer service rep was extreamly helpful and helped me get the right size shipped the same week. Although the boots still dont fit that great they are the size I needed and I believe its the boot style. Too late to return now that Ive worn them so, to the cobbler I go! Thanks again!

The team at US Elite are extremely knowledgeable and 100% service oriented. My Arcteryx LEAF gortex pants have exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, US Elite is the best place to purchase the LEAF line - undoubtedly the best bang for the buck with unparalleled customer service!

When I chose to purchase a pair of Salomon forces boots I decided I would purchase them from the first company that introduced me to that particular Salomon line of footwear. I was impressed with US Elite Gear's swiftness in processing my order, and was glad to hear they use the United States Postal Service flat rate shipping. For some perspective I purchased a bag from a large company out of Virginia on the same day as I purchased my Salomon forces. I spent $13 for two day shipping and receive the assault pack 4 days after I receive my boots, USPS service only cost me $6. US Elite Gear is high speed, low drag just like the products they offer for sale. I will be using US Elite Gear in the future.

I recently ordered the (Salomon Forces Quest 4D) boots. The delivery was fast, less than a week and exceeded all expectations. The boots fit great and there are no comfort issues. Im very hard on shoes so I no issues paying the higher price. So far these are holding up better than any others I have purchased elsewhere. Definitely quality stuff you wont be disappointed.

Great fit! Exactly like I had hoped for. I was worried about the width but went a size up and have no problems.

When the soldier mindset comes to market, the market wins. Arcteryx jacket is great, but I had to exchange for a size down. The process of this exchange was easy and simple. The customer service rep. Even responded 2 minutes after I sent out the request! After normal East Coast work hours! Id give extra stars if I could. Props to Kimberly Grady & the rest of the team for handling all of that.
