Why do people seem to think that the u-lock holster is the only thing separating these from standard 511s? They are also water-resistant, have a reinforced crotch, reflective materials, higher back, etc. In fact if I were to get a pair of these I'd prefer they didn't have the stupid u-lock holster.
Like I said earlier, I'm really curious about how water-resistant these really are? If they can stay dry in the rain, I'll definitely get a pair.
