Absolutely. As much as I like my down jackets, have generally stopped taking them on overnight trips unless weather 100% guaranteed good - not often. Synthetic very good now when it comes to weight and packed size of jackets. When wet, down is immediately useless and will be for the rest of the trip. When wet, synthetic retains 80% (I think) thermal efficiency and will keep working. One may not agree perhaps, but recently I chatted with some river rafting guides from the Franklin River, Tasmania, and apparently they're moving over to synthetic jackets - but not their sleeping bags yet. Generally still too bulky. But still glad I have down too but the my synthetic more versatile for longer trips I feel.

A nice breakdown of your kit Paul. With regard to the issues with your boots, I can highly recommend getting a pair of SEALSKINZ Unisex Waterproof Cold Weather Mid Length Socks. I own a pair, just in case I step in a bog that goes over the top of my boots, or they spring a leak like yours did. You can literally step in a puddle of water, wearing just the socks, and your feet will stay dry. I won't post the direct URL (Amazon) link, as I think that the YT algorithm is blocking the post (as my first post attempt on this matter to you never showed up), but if you do a quick Google for them, then that should remedy the situation.

I have those same Salomon GTX boots and have similar experiences, they work well for puddles and bogs, not so well vs water entering from above. They do let some water ingress in bad conditions, but for 1-2 days your feet will still be drier than with trail runners that simply don't dry out in these sort of saturating UK conditions. I have the Saloman XA filter (basically the same as the Befree). Great flow rate, no issues yet. After every trip I give it a 12h diluted vinegar soak followed by a 24h white bleach soak. Flow rate is still good as new.

Very comfortable walking round in the shop 😁 very good service, 3 year warranty, and for £4.50 they treated them with a special coating, recommended retreating every couple of months. Looking forward to getting out & about. Thanks again for your vids, very informative and inspirational

Hi Andy, I wore a pair locally and I would have recommended them 100%. 20-mile hikes around Dorset they're great! However, I wore them on the Cape Wrath Trail and they let me down massively. The sole disintegrated and I fell too many times to remember. I got a replacement pair but I'm not taking them on my next trip to Scotland. I found some hate them, but some love them. I bought them because they were lightweight and waterproof. It didn't matter when you're up to your knees in rivers 😉I hope you have better experience than me 👍

I had similar issues with my BFree slowing over the course of a trip, but managed to solve the issue by part filling the bag with water, (maybe 1/3rd) then screwing the top back on with plenty of air in the bag, then shaking vigorously for a minute or so, then unscrew and empty out before refilling and filtering. Should find it speeds up again, at least I did, and now I try to do this process every couple of uses to stop it getting so slow again in future. Hope this helps someone else!

With my leather hiking boots (Lowa Camino GTX) I clean and beeswax them 2 or 3 times a year. Warm them up to 50C or so in the oven or near a heater, then rub in all the beeswax they’ll take. Wipe off the excess and you’re good! It keeps water from coming through if there’s a leak in the membrane, and when I’m snowshoeing in them it keeps the leather from absorbing water and then freezing. That makes them pretty warm down to around -10C. My feet still stay nice and sweat-free.

There is an argument in Scotland that if the weather is bad boots are pointless, unless you wear wellies you're going to get wet. A lot of people, myself included, prefer trail runners as they dry more quickly and are lighter although it's very much a personal preference. I use a Sawyer Mini filter but also carry (as it's very light) a Millbank bag from Forest Fundamentals. I can use it as a sediment filter in peaty areas, or as a pre-filter for the Sawyer. It's only a particulate filter, so water still needs to be boiled, treated or filtered again before use.
@Globetrotter-1 Жыл бұрын
Cruachan... I disagree completely and my preference is to use Scarpa Manta boots (non-gtx version) during all seasons, all weather, across all terrains and altitudes. Simply use a natural beeswax to feed and waterproof the leather (I use Redback Bootwax or Grangers G-Wax) and your feet will remain warm and dry in snow, pounding rains, trekking through marshes or crossing mountain streams. The advantage of using the non-gortex version is that the boots don't overheat and avoids the problems with cracks in goretex linings. Even though the thick 3mm reversed leather is silicone-treated by Scarpa to maintain a waterproof layer, it still breathes far better than goretex. For temperature fluctuations between seasons, I simply wear ultra-thin socks in summer/spring/autumn and slightly thicker merino wool socks during winter.

The waterproofness of boots is an interesting issue. They leather and/or goretex may stop the water coming through the sides but are susceptible to water coming over the top or draining down through the socks from your legs/trousers. This makes putting on waterproof overpants early on quite important or you could use gaiters. These seem to have gone out of fashion perhaps in the UK but are still used widely in Australia as snake protection as well as for against rain!
