This stuff is hiking gold. Imagine, you're cold, wet and hungry and a simple boil of the billy and there's a yummy, filling side, or snack. It was the best bit of meal times, is quite forgiving if you add a bit too much water, and a packet goes a fair way. Absolutely won't be overnight hiking without it!
This is a new inexperienced user’s subjective review, nothing more. For the last four years I have walked in respected Italian made footwear, but the use-by-date became a reality: my feet, particularly the left one, started to suffer noticeably after two hours walking. Foot issues are a good motivator and driver to address, say, foot discomfort and joint pain. Off to PAST Outdoors. Problem described to staff. Response focussed and honed in on eliminating foot problem. Solution a pair of LOWA RANGER III GTX W. These trekking boots are well made. Compared to what I have been previously used to, these boots are slightly heavier and a little more rigid - given they are new. However these parameters, along with a wider toe box, have paid dividends in terms of foot support, comfort and so far, the elimination of joint pain. Another thing noticed is the very effective reduction in ground reaction forces teflected back up through feet, ankles and legs, and noises from walking. This, in addition to better ankle support has increased levels of comfort when walking. Have owned these trekking boots only for 1 week, but have, to date, walked 50km in them with no issues materialising. They are a well made and quality trekking boot. They are comfortable to wear and help secure and maintain one in functional trekking shape. They will also help take one places safely and with more confidence.
Purchased as a day pack but will also use for overnighters. Comfortable with plenty of space. Love the stretch front pocket.
An awesome tent for any hike.
Plenty of room and well made.
Easyb to pitch and take down.
