The Hanwag Tatra Wide GTX Boot is specifically designed for people with a wider forefoot who may find traditional walking boots uncomfortable and irritating. The Tatra Wide has an extra wide toebox, with more room for the forefoot but without just widening the entire shoe like some wide fit boots do, this ensures a more anatomical and proportional fit around the heel.
Zamberlan represent three generations of Italian boot makers who have been constructing boots suitable for every type of terrain since 1929.
Never let rain spoil your fun outdoors again with the Heron Rain Tarp. This 8.6oz (243g) Silpoly hexagonal rain tarp is ultralight and won’t weigh down your pack. Traditional lightweight tarps are often made from 1.1oz Silnylon that can stretch out when wet, but Hummingbird’s Rain Tarp is made from a newly developed 0.9oz Silpoly which provides a full coverage that doesn’t mist through or stretch.

The Trango Tower from La Sportiva is a lightweight, Gore-Tex boot designed for mountain hiking, via ferrata and backpacking, even with heavy loads. As we have come to expect from this brand, these boots are beautifully designed.

In the Men’s version these come in that classic La Sportiva red/yellow, black/yellow and ocean/sulphur.
