What was Mountain Hardwear thinking?

I'll keep this short. Jacket itself is well made and provides decent insulation for low aerobic activities--walking the dog, etc. down to about 40 degrees. The HUGE problem is the cuffs.

The 141's are not. I know from past experience that I

I was looking for a pair of low cut shoes suitable for extended walking in travel/touring, some of which would take me off road for light trail activity. I considered these shoes as well as the Garmont Dragontail Lite, but I was reluctant to order both and return one.
