Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 5 days ago

These were working so well for me, very comfortable and well made until they got soaked in a 22 mile hike in the rain. They stayed dry for about 15 of those miles but the water eventually worked it's way in, but that wasn't the problem. I expected some water to get in, especially in the heavy rain i was in, the problem was two weeks after. I took the soles out and let them air dry for two weeks before i used them again, they were never the same again. The boots became very stiff and uncomfortable and i started to get blisters that i didn't get before they got wet. I still like this boot but i had to return and get something else. good boot if you don't get wet inside.

Osprey Packs Stratos 36 Backpack - 2100-2300cu in

Rating for this product: 5 5 days ago

I believe this is the smallest pack you can get away with for an overnight hike, everything fits just perfectly. Sleeping bag, tent, pad, food, clothes and all the extra gear you need for an over niter or even a weekend hike. Very comfortable and well made. I put about 30lbs in my pack but you wouldn't know it, carries weight very good on your back. Love it!

the bag is very nice and warm only problem for me is i am 6'3" 230lb, i have wide shoulders so this bag is a little tight around the edges, if you like to be nice and snug with not a whole lot of room to move this is the bag for you.

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 GTX Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 3, 2012

Just received these today from the UPS man, great looking shoe. Within 10 minutes of delivery these were on my feet and out the door.......8 miles later of trail running in the local mountains and all i can say is these are great, combined with my SmartWool PhD Outdoor Ultra Light Mini Sock my feet were very comfortable, I actually improved on my best time! My only concern is the Quicklace system, i have never used this systen before so i was a little unfamiliar but they seemed to hold pretty good, loosend up just a little. I was afraid if i pulled too hard they would break but im sure they were built to take the punishement. I'm sure after i put a few more miles on these they will become even more comfy, only time will tell. so far so good.

Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 3, 2011

Just returned from 10 mile hike that had a little of everything, dirt, rock, river crossing's, 10 to be exact, and some bolder hopping. They held up really well and very comfortable during the whole hike. They require very little break in time, my feet began to feel a little discomfort at about mile 9 but that's to be expected after jumping around on rocks all day. The only thing I noticed on the shoe once I cleaned off all the dirt was that the toe guard piece peeled back just a bit. I'm going to clue it back and hope it does not get worse, other than that they are very nice boots. The water proofing worked very well, did not feel any moister at all other than a little sweat from my feet but even that was not bad, they breath pretty good. Ready for the next ten miles +.
