Comfortable. Good Structure.

Review for salomon-x-raise-gtx-hiking-shoes-men-s

Walking on a balance beam, or a log is good. The shoe help with balance and won't induce rolling. Walking on the trails is also good. The hiking shoes dry quickly after a rain, other comparable shoes would require greater drying time. Comfortable for walking in snow; double the hiking socks recommended for snow. Long walks are very comfortable. Comfortable 3.5 miles with 20lb backpack. Rubber sole of shoe should be toughened. They could increase the usable time of shoe with more durable sole. 4 months daily usage, then replaced. Tougher more durable outer skin, would increase hiking shoe durability.

Surprised by the size.

Review for Snow Peak Vole 30 Backpack

At first the pack seems small. Seems too small compared to a 40L pack. Untrue. Used two compression bags for my 0F down sleeping bag~ 1000 grams of insulation. Small stove and small cookware fit in the pack. Hip is designed to be un noticed when not in use; zippers to put the fasteners away. Straps feel comfortable in my hands.

Bivouac Has built in bug mesh

Review for Outdoor Research Interstellar Bivy

Spacious. 6ft tall and my 30 liter pack fits as a large pillow. Water repellent functions, tarp is mandatory for heavy rain. Must use zipper lube to maintain the zippers, I liked silicone aerosol. Durable bivouac works well with an air mattress.

Waterproof.
