Mammut Magic High GTX Boot - Men's
Forget about the treeline—the Mammut Men's Magic High GTX Boot will take you above the clouds. This crampon-compatible alpine boot offers the support and weather protection needed for ascents into the alpine, all in a lightweight and comfortable package.
Base Fit 2.0 technology provides greater heel support for a more precise feel, less fatigue, and reduced blistering. Gore-Tex keeps you foot dry without suffocating it, while the EVA and PU midsole cushions your step as you cross jagged terrain and provides rebound to propel you forward. Memory foam at the instep, shin, and ankles eases strain and fatigue at common pressure points, and returns to its original shape after being subjected to heavy loads.
La Sportiva Nepal Cube GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's
The La Sportiva Men's Nepal Cube GTX Mountaineering Boot isn't just for the high-minded alpine adventurers amongst us. New this season, the Nepal Cube takes a lighter approach to versatile warmth in a mountaineering boot than its older sibling, the Nepal Evo GTX. While both boots use Gore-Tex to guarantee your foot's dry ride, the Cube loses a full four ounces without taking away any warmth or capability. Whether you're summiting the Grand (Teton, that is), performing telecom magic in the middle of winter, or trekking high and low over many miles, this leather boot gives you a dry and flexible ride.
Rugged Idro-Perwanger leather gets shot full of 3.2mm silicone to create a robustly water-resistant and flexible outer. An air-injected rubber rand creates a durable connection between the top and bottom of this technical boot. Laces tease your toes and weave their way up the boot through locking D rings to help the boot keep a firm grip on your foot. The Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort lining does more than guarantee waterproof and breathable kicking; it adds heat to your hoofers so hiking across snow-covered flats doesn't turn your toes into stubby icicles. In addition, the 4mm Carbon Tech honeycomb footbed uses air to further insulate your foot without adding weight to keep you high-stepping for hours on end.
Not a gossip, this tongue lets fresh air kiss your ankles while giving you the option to customize the boot fit with a removable piece. The 3D Flex tech improves your stability over contorted terrain. The graded polyurethane midsole starts at a whopping 2mm thick in the heel and tapers into a whisper of plastic by the time it reaches your toes. The Impact Brake System turns hard-wearing Vibram into directionally opposed lugs to give your footsteps traction on the way up and the way down.
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 Cube GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Winner of the Gear Institute's Best New Gear award at the Outdoor Retailers Summer 2013 show, the all-new, incredibly light La Sportiva Men's Trango Cube GTX Mountaineering Boot makes your extreme high-altitude pursuits heavenly. The Gore-Tex insert ensures that water won't slip into the boot and tank your toes midway towards the apex of Gannett Peak, and part of the tongue comes out when you need more room for your foot. Direct-inject lacing system and an exclusive Vibram sole lightens your load so you can pack an extra chocolate bar (or 6) to celebrate the summit.
Put together without seams, the uppers blend waterproof QB3 and FlexTec 2 fabrics to keep external water away from your toes. A rugged Vibram rubber rand protects your toes, wards off water, and rounds out this stable shoe when the trail takes a new twist on technical. The direct-inject Thermo-Tech TPU lacing system keeps seams at bay for extended durability while shaving off nearly 1/3 of the weight of traditional riveted lacing systems. Gore-Tex Performance Comfort lining guarantees a waterproof, breathable climate-controlled environment for your foot whether you're learning to self-arrest on ice or starting out well below the snow line.
A low-profile 4mm graded nylon insole puts a skinny pillow under your heel and has a barely-there feel by the time it reaches your toes. A combination of materials create a stable platform for hiking without taking away underfoot cushioning. Opposing lugs of the Impact Brake System offer traction for the trek up and trip down. ONE, an exclusive sole made by Vibram for La Sportiva, keeps the weight off and the silhouette on the down-low. The TPU heel insert allows the Trango take a hybrid crampon for quick changes to accommodate the hyper-variable environment.
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.
The North Face Patrol Glove - Men's
If you're an early riser who likes to beat the crowds to the coolest areas, The North Face Patrol Glove is a friend to you. A 2-layer stretch nylon shell covers the HyVent waterproof insert for excellent protection from wetness, day in and day out. When you're churning out heat on multi-day backcountry excursions, FlashDry lining helps to minimize sweating and, when you do sweat, serves to wick that moisture away from your hands before it has a chance to make you cold. The palm is made of water-resistant leather, so it'll hold up to the rigors of everyday use without wearing out prematurely. For long days in the cold, 200-gram Primaloft Gold insulation on the back of the hand.
So we've got a whole new fit system here. At the north face called five dimensional fit, and we've borrowed what we've learned from footwear which is you've got to measure the interior volume of the glove and go outward from there when you're adjusting for size, but we've got a whole new system for grading. Size on gloves it's called five dimensional fits and it ensures that if. You're a large in a technical mountaineering glove like this you'll be a large in a stretchy fleece glove for. An entirely different end use, so we've also employed some pretty sophisticated new construction solutions one of them. Which is called radiometric articulation. Basically that mouthful means that we've. Cut the glove in such a way that you end. Up with that a nice natural curve built. Into the glove so that your hand isn't fighting a flat glove to relax we've. Built our gloves with a warm warmer the warmest sensibility and you'll see actually on the hang tags at retail. You'll see snowflakes and now one snowflake is warm two snowflakes is warmer and three snowflakes is warmest as it needs to convey the message that out you know in the case of the kelvin here we've built it to be the warmest possible globe that we can build with 8 ounces of frame loft on the back of hand. And 4 ounces of primo loft on the front of hand this is as warm as we can build a mountaineering glove and still maintain the kind of dexterity that this users gonna need.
