Ten years since the first Five Ten Impact??? Oh AJ how young you must be to think that the Impact only came out 10 years ago, try closer to 16-17 years ago. I know because I bought my first pair around the same time I bought my 2003 Big Hit Expert. They were this ugly yellow/grey thing ([https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p3pb650579/p3pb650579.jpg](https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p3pb650579/p3pb650579.jpg)), but man were they awesome.

FWIW, I will attest that the water resistance is amazing with the Impact Pro, having worn them through several very rainy days, many of them commuting, here in Seattle they are indeed quite water resistant. Still always good to pair with a nice waterproof sock for reassurance, but awesome none the less. Great shoes.
