Best hiking boot I've ever had.

Written on Feb 24, 2020

These hiking boots are well-made, comfortable and seem to hold up better than most other hiking boots. I've had boots that were far more expensive that weren't as good. So far, I've only hiked about 200 miles but, they show very little signs of wear.

Good solid support

Written on Apr 28, 2016

I bought these boots because I wanted to hike the JMT with a heavy pack. I didn't want to be 100 miles from nowhere and break my ankle. I've hiked over 200 miles in these boots and they hardly show any wear. Unlike other reviewers, I found the boots did need a break-in time. Also, this is not a light boot. This is a heavy duty, reasonably comfortable, hiking boot. The part I don't like is it uses 4 buckles to lace up the boot. This makes it easy to get your foot into the boot, but it gets to be kind of a pain to deal with 2 feet of laces all the time. Plus, one set of buckles is recessed back for some reason which makes it a little harder to hit when lacing up the boot. All things considered, it seems to be a quality boot that offers a good deal of support.

Great Sleeping Bag

Written on Dec 19, 2015

I have never spent so much money for a sleeping bag in my life. I am planning to hike the John Muir Trail so every pound makes a difference. I tested the bag out in 20 degree weather and was pleasantly surprised that the bag kept me so warm. It is a tight fit, so I thought I would not like it. However, in the cold I found it surprisingly comfortable. If the weather is warm you can unzip the bag and use it as a quilt.

If you are like me the sticker price is a shock, but you get what you pay for.
