Not sure if this helps anyone, but there’s a referral promo for Harry Rosen right now:

$100 off your first purchase of $250+

I just used it and grabbed a pair of Salomon XT-6 for $168 CAD all-in, which felt like a pretty solid deal.

I have a hard time choosing between these two colorways!! What do you guys think??

Moonstone made some legendary down pieces like puffers and sleeping bags, until they were purchased by Columbia in the late 90’s and the label was quietly sunsetted by the mid 2000’s. This is an ‘04 model, one of the last made.

Puffers like this one can be found dirt cheap, and the slightly cropped fit is perfect. The bottom quilt is slimmer than the rest of the body, works well with pants that sit more at the waist. I got this one for like $25, and a cycle with Down Wash made it good as new!

Use it for our last Peru trip and we love them

I’ve finally moved away from "Tactical Black" and grabbed the Mammut Ducan Guide HS in Silver Sage. Love the fit, love the look, but I’ve realized light-colored hardshells are high-maintenance.

It’s a literal dirt magnet. 🧲 I feel like I can’t even look at a muddy trail without it staining.

I’m curious about your strategy:

• Do you re-apply DWR more often on light gear to keep dirt from "setting"?

• Are you Team "Battle Scars" (let it stay dirty)?

Let‘s hear your maintenance hacks for light-colored technical gear!

Got these recently, even tho I heard some negative reviews on Reddit, still coped. I have to say, the lacing style is really comfortable and easy to put on, you only need to pull and twist the top of the laces. I won’t be using them for any hiking and stuff, only at work or going out. They fit a little small on the sides so I recommend to try them if you have wider feet. They don’t get dirty easily and they are breathable. Just don’t get the gore-Tex ones. They have also very good grip on any floor. They have many different color s so I recommend checking each one.

This is love. Can’t stop, won’t stop.

How would you style these patagonia pants?

Preferably fully sleeved top

I’m new to the sub, and to the world of trekking in general. Up until now I’ve been using pretty bad shoes, but I want to invest in a good pair. The thing is, this summer I’m going to Scotland and I’ll be doing quite a bit of hiking there, so I want something that will work well and keep my feet dry. If they also look nice and I can wear them day to day, even better.

I live in a country with a pretty dry climate, so I don’t usually have issues with rain, but while I’m at it I’d like something that works for rainy days too.

I’ve looked at the Merrell Moab 3 GTX and of course the Salomon XT-6 (but I don’t really like the GTX version). I’d prefer them in brown or warm tones.

Thanks :)

Hi All

I'm new in this community and wanna share one of my fav hk brand (lono) that I have been wearing it for 2 years. It's my daily shoes that I wear it for hike, daily dog walk and even work. I love this brand a lot but I found not much ppl are talking about it out of Barefoot community so I wanna share with everyone.

Background info: I'm living in an island and during the summer, hk rains a lot.

The feature that I love of this brand:

1. Water and dirt resistance

It's very good for hike and walking under the small rains. Easy to remove the mud and dirt, especially I'm a clumsy walker, I always kick on something during the walk

2. Comfortable

The fitting is so good that my feet don't feel stress even after a long walk. I basically walk 10k steps everyday. my feet or leg never feel stressed or constrained with it. I even wore it during my Europe, Bali and Vietnam trip. It actually fit for any type of walking, including hiking. The grip of the shoes are very good that I don't need to worry about the slippery floor during the rain and hike. I'm not kidding, after I stepped into the barefoot shoes, I cannot even go back to the normal shoes haha (my calf are no longer tight after long walk or standing)

3. Design

I found the color and design is so easy to match different color and style. Basically I wear them for work, vacation, party and hike. I found they are still matchy matchy with all kinds of style.

Couldn’t find many reviews or posts about this shoe, so figured I’d make one. Picked up for 25% off, $145cad tax in. Fits just a hair short of perfect half size down, they didn’t have TTS, but half down felt good enough to buy. Heel to toe drop is noticeable coming from skate shoes, but not too extreme.

I know Moabs or something would probably be better for day hikes, but I wanted a reasonably stylish, wide friendly, climber/approach/lace to toe style shoe.. and aside from these, I’m not sure any others exist in this price range.

Any fans of this model? Pics or opinions to share? Long term durability? While the available colourways are decent, I feel like there’s so much potential for future ones.

Just picked up these Hi-Tec Altitude VII WP in Dark Chocolate for an absolute steal—roughly $38 USD (MSRP here is around $130).

​I'm planning to make these my daily casual drivers for the urban jungle. I was surprised by the tech specs at this price point:

​Protection: It features a Dri-Tec waterproof membrane and i-shield technology to repel water, dirt, and stains.

​Hardware: The lacing system is rustproof, which is great for the humid tropical climate here.

​The Sole: It’s a beastly combination of an impact-absorbing CMEVA midsole and a high-performance Michelin rubber outsole.

​Interior Comfort: It has a micro-fleece moisture-wicking lining and, most importantly, OrthoLite insoles for that "walking on clouds" feel right out of the box.

​The Fit:

I'm currently a 9th grader in a growth spurt, so I sized up to a 27cm (Size 43). There's about 1.5cm of room, but with thick socks and the secure lace-up fastening, they feel very stable.

​I need your advice on styling:

Since these have a chunky "adventure" silhouette, what kind of outfits work best for a casual city look?

​Would they look better with cuffed raw denim, or should I go for olive/earth-tone cargos?

​Any specific color palettes that go well with this "Dark Chocolate" leather?

​Can I pull these off with just a simple hoodie or a flannel for a daily hangout?

​Also, given the i-shield coating, should I apply Mink Oil now to soften the leather, or just let them age naturally first?

​Cheers from Indonesia!

Looks pretty slick to me. Still Topo Designs DNA while really celebrating & putting Dyneema in spotlight.

What’re your thoughts? Favorite pieces? Would you purchase?

I thought they were Arc’teryx because buddy is sponsored by them but I can’t find them on their website. Anyone know what they are?

Tried Dawn Powerwash, doesn’t work
