    The Seatosummit Aeros Pillow has an adjustable valve, the little blue button when you lift the 1st tab, that allows you to adjust the hardness/softness of the pillow. Yes, you can wash it, obviously not putting it in the washing machine, but when deflated and with the valves closed, it can be hand wash. I had mine for quite a few years now and still going strong.

    I have the 34L and experienced the same side-pocket zipper issue but found a solution. When you have the pack on and snug around you, go ahead and cinch up the lower strap connected to each pocket. This will keep the pockets taut, making it easier to use the zipper. Otherwise, a loose strap can cause the pocket to fold over on itself when tugging on the zipper. Look at it this way -“ if won’t zip then, then fits not legit” 😂 Hope this works for you & others.

    I purchased a pair of these about 6 months ago and have since hiked about 200 to 300 miles in them. Comfortable, well built, stable platform, all great. The one thing that is needed is additional scuff protection over the toe. The trails I hike are often rocky, littered with large, sharp rocks and boulders that tend to scuff the toes. I had a cobbler laminate a piece of rubber on the toe so that I don't prematurely wear a hole through the toe. Something that Danner should do at the factory.

    You can’t go wrong with either option. Leather will likely be the most durable in the long run but I also like that suede is a little more comfortable and breathable, it’s also still very durable! I’ve had my sieve boots for two years and put them through a lot of terrain and they’re holding up great

I’m gonna be using them for work as an Amazon delivery driver. I was using a pair of lowa renegade gtx that are awesome and super stable. But I wanted something with a little more bounce and the resoling sold me on them. Hopefully they fit. I sized down half a size from my sneaker size which is what the customer service rep told me to do.

    Nice review. I'm on my 3rd pair. The first pair leaked water and Vivo replaced it for free outside their warranty period which was great. Retired the 2nd pair after 6 years of mostly uneven forest hiking off trail. These shoes were actually narrower than the first pair despite same size which was annoying as my feet are wide for my height which is why I bought them (along with zero drop benefits). Bought 3rd pair and despite only a few years old have used them on average at least twice a week, so heavy use. Still narrow for my foot and almost impossible to take off after hiking with no socks! Otherwise I love these boots, almost impossible to twist your ankle when laced up normally, excellent dry grip, and ankle support. You do feel rocks so you have to tread carefully as is the barefoot design philosophy. My only gripes are the laces are difficult to lock in the first hoop and the rubber tends to come apart off the leather. The hoop issue is just irritating for me but the rubber I've found has come away after only a few months on all my boots. It's only come off a few mm but in all the high stress areas. I will need to get it re glued soon.

    Yes the weather has been unpredictable lately! It snowed yesterday, sunny today, and rain is expected tomorrow. Those roads will likely not be open next week. You can still hike up to Mariposa Grove we actually uploaded a vlog recently on how we did it. And there’s still plenty to see and do down on the valley floor: Lower or upper Yosemite falls, bridal veil falls, mirror loop trail, vernal falls, Nevada falls, there’s also a few museums and visitor centers.
