    I HATE the look of nylon. My high gloss looks VERY professional.

    But I do wear nylon when i'm biking, for comfort reasons, certainly not looks.

    The squeaks man... the squeaks. I cant stand the damn squeaks. Nothing worse that squeaky leather when you're clearing a house or building.

    I only wear leather for full dress stuff.

    Duty is nylon. Looks aren't as important as being functional. The old belt buckle leather limited me as to what I could put on my belt.

    We use both nylon and basketweave. We have a very lax policy regarding our uniform requriements.

    My department wears clarino. However, special units like bike, K9, etc, wear nylon.
