Have tried a few knives trying to find an easy to use lightweight knife and this has finally met all my needs. Love the feel, ease of use and safety catch. Colour is a bonus as easy to find. I will be using this knife for rock activities as well as hiking and paddling.
The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX has genuinely surprised me. After more than 100km of use across mixed terrain, they’ve proven far more durable than I expected for such a lightweight boot. Comfort was excellent straight out of the box, with virtually no break-in period required, and the fit feels secure without being overly stiff or bulky.
I’ve used them in wet conditions, snow, and rough backcountry terrain, and one of the standout features has been how quickly they dry once soaked. Despite their lightweight and relatively sleek build, they also perform better in colder conditions than expected — I never found them excessively cold, even in snow.
For anyone looking for a lightweight, comfortable boot that still feels capable in genuine mountain terrain, these are well worth considering. Excellent service from Past Outdoors as well.
Bought to Increase Space in vehicle for outback travelling and it delivered.
I recently purchased a Mont Supercell through Past Outdoors and couldn’t be happier with both the service and the product.
The team were easy to deal with, knowledgeable, and clearly understood the realities of using gear in New Zealand alpine conditions rather than just selling equipment from a catalogue. Communication was excellent and the tent arrived quickly and exactly as described.
The Supercell itself has already proven its worth in strong alpine winds and poor weather on multiple trips through Canterbury and the West Coast. It’s heavy compared to lightweight three-season options, but the durability, weather resistance, and confidence it provides in exposed country more than justify the weight.
Would happily purchase from Past Outdoors again.
