Deuter Futura 30L Backpack - Men's
It might look like your average day pack, but the Men's Deuter Futura 30L Backpack has a few tricks up its sleeve. The ergonomic and ventilated design of the padded shoulder straps
and waist belt keep you comfortable on longer treks, and they're
designed for minimal chafing—so if you're thinking of bagging a peak and doing an overnighter in one trip, you most certainly can. Slip a divider into the main compartment, creating a spot to store your sleeping bag, then stuff your extra layers above that, and your cooking and meal supplies into the top. Compression straps on the sides can be used to store your tent, but if you're the sleeping-under-the-sky sorta adventurer, you can travel even lighter. Plenty of exterior pockets are available for snacks, map, or phone, and the integrated rain cover protects your gear from unexpected showers.
So this is my future backpack made by. Buddha and it's a thirty liter day pack that I'll be using on the camino it's. Got a lot of features that i really like it's a solid frame but it's pretty light weighs three and a half pounds this section here is holds it rights quite a. Ways away from your body so you get a lot of air flow in there and you don't get too hot i like that space in there it's about three inches i guess the. Straps are quite nicely padded in here all the way down and in the back and. Also along the waist belt and it's a. Women's specific design so this whole section in here is quite a bit shorter than it would be on regular size it's. Got adjustable straps in the very top. And around the hip that you can keep it. Pretty snug as well as the straps themselves tighten up and of course it's got the chest strap as well and it slides up and down so you can make it pretty comfortable so let's see flip it. Over and on each side has a pouch that. You can put anything you want in it'll fit a one liter water bottle though and these side straps they tighten up or. They can be loose whichever you like there's a side pocket on both sides. That's kind of expands when you put stuff inside it and each side of it has. One of those on the bottom the section. Divides in half right here and inside you can actually have it a kind of. Panel that you can have and separate the top from the bottom or you can do like i have right now and i have it open lots of hooks on the bottom for hanging things on as well i put some clothes and things in here so you can sort of see but that section there is where it fits. In and then of course you can undo the. Top so right over here is a pocket. That's really well accessible when you're actually walking use put your hands over your back and grab it so i put things i need during the hike inside sort of more of a safety thing i guess. You can keep things inside this pouch here and then it's pretty easy to pull. Things out I'll just open it up and stay so you can see inside I'll pull out my towel there's a little strap in there with a little bit of velcro that you can hook things on and. Then again this will be oh yeah i. Forgot there's a little pouch in here and you can put the water bladder in if. You're carrying water and there's a little hole right on the side that you can leave the little bit of a pipe. Through or whatever i usually just have it coming through the top though it's just pretty easy to do that there's a. Pouch here just for putting things in that you want to keep maybe maps and stuff things that you want accessible and quick and it's got lots of straps on. The outside that's for keeping your poles hiking poles and let's see what. Else it's overall it's really. Comfortable i quite like it and I've. Been wearing it a lot and using it a lot lately so that i can get used to it oh. Yeah on the bottom it's got an opening. That you can pull out the rain cover and. Just get it out here and it's got a bit of elastic around it covers up the entire pack really quickly and easily and it's waterproof so it gives you that. Little bit of extra protection so deuter. Pack i really like it and I'm hoping that it'll just be perfect for our trip.
La Sportiva Trango Tower GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's
A far cry from the bulky alpine boots of yesteryear, the La Sportiva Men's Trango Tower GTX Mountaineering Boot offers ultralight warmth and support to help you scale towering peaks in remarkable comfort—relatively speaking, at least. After all, if you don't suffer a little, then the mountain wasn't big enough.
Gore-Tex Performance Comfort keeps your foot dry when you get caught off-guard by a freak snowstorm in the middle of summer, but still breathes well to keep you from overheating at lower altitudes. The rugged upper with Honey-Comb reinforcements withstands the roughest punishment the mountain can dish out. PU in the midsole offers support and cushioning when moving over rocky terrain, and EVA inserts decrease weight while still absorbing impacts and providing excellent rebound. Rounding it out is a Vibram One outsole for reliable traction on precarious ridgelines and the durability needed to withstand season after season in the high alpine. This sole is also equipped with an Impact Brake System for better control on descents.
La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's
When the mountains are a technical obstacle course of ice, snow, and frigid temperatures, the La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot will be your foot’s best friend. La Sportiva combined a waterproof breathable Gore-Tex membrane, an insulated lining , and a durable leather upper to keep your feet warm and protected for many summits to come. The Vibram sole, featuring the Impact Brake System, provides tough traction on slippery inclines, while the 3D Flex ankle allows for maximum sole-to-surface contact on the steeps. An adjustable, removable tongue offers a comfortable, customizable fit for any foot shape.
Asolo Elbrus GV Mountaineering Boot - Men's
The Asolo Men's Elbrus GV Mountaineering Boot is comfortable in high places—between its sticky Vibam sole and stiff lasting board, the Elbrus delivers hoof-like traction when you're scrambling across an airy ridge in the alpine or setting a steep bootpack up a snowy couloir during a summer mountaineering mission. Asolo made sure the Elbrus was ready for all of your alpine adventures by making it compatible with semi-automatic crampons and equipping it with a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex insert that gets an extra boost of breathability thanks to Schoeller softshell panels in key areas.
Scarpa Grand Dru GTX Mountaineering Boot
From Himalayan treks to hauling a heavy pack across remote mountain ranges where trails are far and few between, the Scarpa Men's Grand Dru GTX Mountaineering Boot was designed and built for rugged mountain terrain, primitive trails, and packing heavy backpacks. When you encounter mud, frequent creek crossings, and wet brush, the Grand Dru's waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex membrane ensures that your feet stay dry and you don't have to dry out soggy socks after you set up camp after a day on the trail. Adding to the overall durability of the boot, Scarpa built the Grand Dru with an Italian-crafted Perwanger suede upper that's reinforced by a burly rubber rand for added protection. A stiff midsole puts an emphasis on stability while navigating rock-strewn trails and talus slopes, and it's compatible with hybrid (semi-automatic) crampons when you need some extra bite to reach your objective.
Hi it's peter again I'm here to talk. About a variety of different mountaineering boots that we use in the field I'll start over here on my right with the uninsulated single boot kind of. Rock climbing summer mountaineering oriented we're going to see this boot on the matterhorn and the eiger in europe. And on the 13-day course and the cascades moving up in insulation is. Another single boot but this one is. Insulated we use this on all over the. Cascades and on mount rainier in mid summer and you'll also see this on mont. Blanc in europe next step up in. Installation is our double plastic boot even more insulated with the removable. Liner you're going to see this on mount. Rainier and in the cascades for the bulk of the season early and late especially when it's colder you're going to see this on mexican volcanoes and Ecuador this type of boot is very versatile one. More step up in installation is a high-altitude double boot here a little bit more streamlined lighter weight package and a even further warmer liner. Compared to this for higher altitude. Expeditions this is going to be really appropriate for Aconcagua and especially Denali trips finally on my left is the. 8,000 meter boot you're going to see. This in antarctica on mount everest any. Other 8,000 meter peak and a lot of people are starting to use boots like this on Denali expeditions as well for. Extra warmth.
