Thanks for the responses both. Good to hear your experiences of the boots Decal. I'm wearing them about the house at the moment - still trying to work out if it's too tight on my rig heel or if it's just the sock fit wrapping around it........ Did your boots loosen off any after a few walks? I didn...

Hi all, Does anyone have the r-evo pro's and, if so, what is your opinion on them? I can see a few online reviews for the r-evo's but the pro version has less content currently. I'm on the hunt for a pair of boots suitable for year round use on a mixture of Munro and lower level walks. Ideally also...

Just go for it. I did it in a storm of wind and rain and it didn't do me any harm... Would have been nice to see the views though. Not great advice! This was my attitude until I got a real scare and was forced to employ the services of mountain rescue. My post accident attitude has changed greatly....

It's a non starter I'm afraid.

I've never walked in Cuba but been flying to European destinations for the past few years and you won't get them through security.

Buy a pair of z-poles, stick them in your bag and forget about it.

I may be wrong but I think the one on the left with "go up" on it is the more recent.

What 2 boots?

I concur with regards to adding Patagonia to the top of the list and I'll add Fjallraven into the same bracket (especially on the trouser front!)

I'd probably have to put quite a bit of thought to this and certainly introduce a few brands not included on the OPs list however I would suggest that Lowe Alpine and Marmot may want to drop down a grade and Montane, Paramo and North Face (Summit Series) would be promoted.

I would imagine, if you're not used to walking then it's probably as your father suggested. 9 days is a long time for the route so it's likely to be the stiffening up, it should go after a few days.

I'm planning to head up to do the South Glen Shiel Ridge on Saturday. Clearly Mother Nature has once again taken a keen interest in my plans and it seems that the forecast isn't very good at all with mist and poor visibility prevalent! That aside, I was wondering if anybody has been up there recentl...

My Mammut monolith B2 failed after 4 munros and 22 miles. % weeks later I've been offered a full refund from Go outdoors. Really really disappointed in Go and Mammut. I'll be making a point of not taking my business there again. I don't really understand your point here. It sounds to me that Go Out...

Hi folks, Just back in from gooutdoors and thought I'd update the thread. Tried on quite a few pairs and the two that stuck out were the "Berghaus Explorer Trek Plus GTX Men's Walking Boots" and "North Ridge Men's Tower eVent® Waterproof Walking Boots" Just need to decide if I p...

I have only good things to say about them!

I wear Oakley Radar Locks and change the lenses to suit the conditions. I also have a good pair of Columbia polarized which are my 2nd division choice!

I think eye protection is something I'm happy to spend money on.

I have a Garmin Dakota 10 and use it a lot, I generally have the route downloaded onto it from Walkhighlands and may refer to that when I'm out and about. The biggest thing for me is that I like to upload all my tracks to the Garmin Basecamp, this records all my stats and is a really quick and easy ...
