Couple of additions:
Danner Agitator 45 hiking boots. Took longer to break in than the Wellcos but they are cooler as summer approaches.
Ingenious Rebel crew socks. Light, thin, wicking. LEOs needing something that is cool on your feet may want to try a pair of these out. They are a bit thin, but thicker than gore-tex sock liners. If you are looking for an in between sock that isn't too heavy these or the Ingenious everyday socks may be what you need.
I also learned how to tell the difference between their hiking socks and boot socks. Different colored thread for the logo. I can retrieve a pair from my hooch and post that guide if anyone needs it.
Hats: I don't normally wear a hat, I hate the things, but I have found one that I like for hot weather. An Adidas running hat. Lightweight with a mesh top to it, it allows body heat to escape. The reflective logo isn't that noticeable during daylight hours and I don't wear the hat after dark.
Cabela's trailhiker (I think that's the name) pants. As good as 5.11 pants, slightly cheaper. I'll see how they hold up this summer. The 5.11 stuff is bulletproof, the Old Navy pants look like a bum wouldn't wear them. Great for the winter since they are thicker but they fray easily.
Hope this helps someone out there.
