With winter only round the corner, here are three items that’ll fit the bill for wet and chilly outdoor adventures.
If you like a light hiking boot/shoe but still want decent stability, Salomon’s X-Ultra Mid GTX (€149.99) could be the perfect choice. Fully waterproof but breathable thanks to the use of lots of mesh, these mid-height boots have a fantastic grippy sole that uses lugs based on a mountain bike tyre. Available in men’s and women’s fit, they are ideal for fast hiking on mixed terrain.
