not 3 item but never mind. What would yo say about your boots?

[Matthew]

I have had a few pairs of boots in the past but the Meindel's for me are the best yet. They have an excellent fit, very waterproof and for me very durable. I have had mine for about two years and they have survived everything I have done. When I got back from my month away the cleaned up a treat to the point where they look like new.

The boots are quite stiff, I do not mind, but  some users may. I would say that they are one of the few items that I would instantly buy again if I damaged them.



I know there are four items but it's a hard choice...

I open these links from twitter and get back to them - sometimes days later... so I probably look like a lurker.

3 things - favourite...

Montane featherlite smock instantly comes to mind.
Buff.
Headtorch - rarely used, but I love them. Mainly for reading, the odd late cook or very early start.

-----------------
excluded - baselayers because you get arrested if not wearing something, footwear because I'm in an undecided transitional phase, camera and notebook because they're not really "kit"... like chocolate and port

Can't fault it chum, it has served well and with no problems. I was sad enough to mount it to my lathe and polish the frame oops.....well it was due a service

Meindl boots are very good but best suited to wider feet, That's why I went with the Asolo's (better for narrow feet)
