Great boots
Written on Dec 07, 2020
Have used these boots backpacking rugged & steep terrain in the North Cascades of Washington State. Stable with great foot protection. Grippy on mud, snow and rock. Probably overkill for summer or casual hikes. Same comfortable fit as my Salomon X Ultra 3 hiking shoes and they look really nice too.
Sturdy lightweight hiking boots
Written on Feb 29, 2020
My second pair of Lowa Renegade GTX boots. My first pair lasted through 2 yrs of 4-season hiking in the North Cascades. Comfortable and lightweight with excellent grip and foot protection. Good in mud, snow and rooty & rocky terrain. I use Nikwax Nubuck & Suede to restore waterproofing as the nubuck pores open up after hiking in water and snow. Works well with snowshoes and microspikes, but the sole is too flexible and curved for mountaineering crampons. Eventually the toe rubber separated and now allows water to enter the footbed. They took a beating before that happened.

MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes - Men's
Great backcountry snowshoes for Pacific Northwest snow conditions (Cascades, Olympics). Work well in deep powder, hardpack and crust. Can traverse steep slopes with them. Binding straps sometimes come loose unless they're tight.

La Sportiva Boulder X Approach Shoes - Men's
Bought these for summer hiking but did not try them on in a store. When they arrived I felt they were a little too small and I'd pound my toes descending the mountain. Shoes were lightweight and would have been good if they didn't run small. Unfortunately the stores near me don't carry them so I couldn't try on the different sizes to get the perfect ones. I ultimately returned them and am going to get hiking shoes since we do more traditional hiking than approach.

Rab Ventus Jacket - Mens
Great jacket. Perfect weight for spring hiking. I liked it so much I bought one for my wife. The jacket is lightweight and easy to pack. It doesn't wrinkle. It has a nice fit and is very comfortable.
