828 U
Ultimate integration of design.
Innovation and inspiration combined to create the 828U – the first O/U worthy of the Benelli badge. With the strength of steel and the light weight of aluminum, the 12-gauge 828U redefined the upland game shotgun category. Now also available in 20-gauge.
The 828U features a patented steel locking system and plate, which eliminates the transference of stress-causing shot pressure to the receiver and hinge pins. A compact, easily removable trigger group increases safety, reliability and ease of cleaning. The unique opening lever provides a smoother, more consistent opening action. From butt to muzzle, there is nothing conventional about the Benelli 828U.
You've heard of EDC, meaning everyday carry, the essentials you don't leave home without. Well, these are everyday boots. Think upland, pronghorn, mule deer, tree stand hunting and more. Trail, off-trail, rocky, grassy, timbered, open, dry, wet, snowy - these are your boots. And the fact they deliver on the promise of light weight (only 3 lbs. per pair for the uninsulated version.) adds to their every-day, every-season, every-hunt appeal. You've heard, and felt during long days in the field, that every ounce on your feet is like carrying an extra pound on your back. Meindl takes that to heart. Looking at EuroLights in the box, you don't expect such full-featured boots to be so light. And if they're surprisingly light in your hands, wait 'till you lace them on your feet. Light but tough, they feature 9" waxed full-grain Nubuck leather uppers (and reinforced toe cap) to stand up to use and abuse in the gamut of field conditions. A Gore-Tex® waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out but lets perspiration vapor escape. Flex-Zone Venting, a series of strategically placed vents in the forefoot, allows the boot to breathe and move naturally with your feet. Flex-Zone in the Achilles areas enhances your natural stepping motion while a high-performance polyurethane midsole and Air Active insoles provides cushioning and support. And you'll appreciate the over-sized gusset that opens wide for easy on and off; no more struggling to pull them on at the start or kick them off at the end of the day. The Meindl Duo-DUR III Sole, with aggressive multi-directional lugs, provides traction and stable footing on a variety of terrain types. Every day, every man, every woman - these are your boots. Also available in an Insulated and women's model.
