how are these verse the Scarpa Terra? cross shopping these two boots right now
As this is the 'light' version, do you find that in wet conditions water is forced through under the pressure of backpack straps and padding pushing against the jacket? It seems the non-light version has reinforced extra layers of the directional material to combat this, but I'm not sure if it's a 'real' issue?
Does the outside of the cup get notiably hot for you when pouring hot water? I just got it home and im kind of dissapointed if how warm i gets, i guess its not vaccum insulated..
I have been using Lowa tibet hunter, amazing pricey but heavy' for long Alberta Rockie mountain hikes. So I bought keen 6" waterproof hikers that literally fall apart in 2 months. So 2 weeks ago I bought Oboz Bridger 8" insulated B dry wide . In last 9 days I completed 140km of hard hiking in Kananaskis Alberta. Snow above 1900 meters, below that mud rocks and all kind of trails. Wow' hands down this is my favorite hiking boot now. Ankle support is amazing and, not a single signal of any wear on them. I do use "Mink oil" for leather protection.
Great to hear you’re getting out there and doing some serious walking 🤗🏔️😄 Lowa are a great company with a wonderful heritage and produce some good footwear, but high like boots such as the hunter will always tend to be heavier and I really designed for hunters who may be stationary on slopes and require the ankle support and underfoot support 🤔 glad to hear you’re getting on with your Oboz, I’ve only experience of the lighter footwear and always found it to fall within my expectations of the price and quality- that said I’ve had some excellent use from keen as well over the years 🤔 but again I have tended to only use their lightweight items and I’ve heard many negative things over the years about their range and I suspect we have sold the bits that work well 😉 we stocked Keen for the fit more than anything, as the ones we stocked were very wide ☺️ in the UK I think Oboz are an underrated brand 🥾 thanks for your insights and I hope you get out there and have some fantastic days on the hill 🏔️☺️🌀
My OBOZ are easily the greatest set of boots I have ever worn. I have used so many brands yet these are soooooooooooooooooo comfy. Question...Should you use beeswax on leather boots like the OBOZ? What do you folks here use to treat leather boots like the OBOZ????>>>
I also rate the company, they produce excellent quality lightweight footwear similar to what Merrell used to produce before the fall in standards They so sadly seem to end up doing 🤔 as for leather care, in any membraned waterproof leather boot, I would recommend any care product rated for Gore-Tex 🤔 however I would avoid purely water resisting ones and try and find a cream that is rated for use with membrane boots- I rate Nikwax leather cream and Scarpa HS12 😉 to be honest I am unsure about beeswax but suspect if used sparingly it should be okay- it’s the high content dubbing that tends to damage membranes and these also tend to have solvent in them that can damage the glues that I used in modern boot constructions as these were really meant to be used with stitched leather Old Skool boots 🥾 they are very good at nourishing leather and keeping it supple but I would avoid them all but the more traditional non-membrane heavier leather boots ☺️ however in my experience of lightweight footwear the sole unit tends to die before the upper leather areas and the leather tends to be lightweight and flexible in nature and also the only thing keeping boots like this truly waterproof is the membrane 😉 lots to unpack here, and I hope this helps 👍🏻 but most of all I hope you get out there and have some wonderful outdoor experiences ⛺️🏔️☀️☺️🌀
@@WildcraftBritain thank you..I had heard from a few people and figured the beeswax would affect something like Gore Tex and not allow any breathability, so I avoided it most of the time.
Thank you for a great video. What paramo garment would you recommend for really hot weather? And which paramo coat offers 4 season options...warm in winter, light and cool in summer. I'm looking for an all in one clothing system for multi day trecking in UK eg cape wrath trail where all the elements ( hot, cold, wet, windy) might hit you. Cheers
Thank you for your kind encouragement ☺️ this is a question I am often asked of various products both in footwear and clothing. The answer is generally not what people want to hear. There are little to no product that bridge the gap between very cold and very warm seasons- base layers are perhaps an exception to this but even here a good warm Marino bass layer will have you sweltering in summer (I have even different weights of underpants for different conditions) 😉 in my experience there is no good waterproof for very hot humid conditions, and believe me, I’ve tried many over the years 😂 in those conditions I tend to just go with lightweight windproof and put up with being wet in damp conditions knowing that if I have chosen the right breathable kit I will dry out quickly and remain a reasonably comfortable temperature level 🤔 Paramo is by far my favourite brand for waterproofs- there is however no one jacket to do all jobs, the demands of winter are so different the demands of summer 🌦️ however, I do know what my choice would be 😊 not only that it’s one I have actually made (although after spending over 30 years accessing the Outdoors as my primary activity outside of work, I do have an interesting supply of jackets 🤣 in addition add did have access to many while I owned the shop which has sadly now shutdown 😔 but my advice would be the Velez Jacket with the Enduro windproof to go over- it adds up to an expensive system but is extremely flexible, the two combined produce an excellent winter jacket and on their own also have a myriad of uses and they tend to be my go to jackets and have proven themselves timing again in the variable conditions, I have found myself in the great Outdoors 🏔️😊 ultimately only trying them out will allow you to find out how they suit your particular needs as everyone has different experiences of temperature and works at different levels in the outdoors so what is good for one person may not be as good for another and therefore personal choice due to individual physiology and expectations of comfort and what they are prepared to suffer in terms of weather in the Outdoors will be key to whether or not a particular garment will be seen as excellent or poor 🤔 as a final thought, I think peoples expectations of waterproofs in colder humid and wet conditions with variable temperatures are often incompatible with physics 😁 I tend to run hot and produce a lot of perspiration but I also push myself hard and tend to head for mountains 🏔️ in these conditions I have found Paramo to be far and away the best 👍🏻 hope this helps, as I appreciate investing in a long-term waterproof is a complicated and confusing dilemma 😉 but most of all I hope you get out there and enjoy your Outdoors time 🤗🌦️⛺️🏔️🌀
Ow about very hot seasons? Were they still feel comfortable?
That’s a question. I’m often asked about various kit and it’s a difficult one to answer as there are many nuances 🤔 these are not a summer boot but can be worn in summer in the right conditions, as ever sock choice are a very important part of the too hot too cold equation- any boot made of leather with a GX liner will prove warm in hot conditions and it’s only the mesh construction non-waterproof liner boots that tend to deal well in very hot weather 🤔 I have around eight pairs of boots for different seasons and different locations, one piece of footwear for all of your outdoor activities and all of the seasons in the northern hemisphere will always result in a compromise 😉 my advice would be to buy the footwear that most suits your general walking times, and as a final thought, in very hot weather, You can tend to get away with just trainers or other lightweight cheaper footwear, but in winter, you need to correct footwear for the environment ☀️🌦️🍂🌀
@@WildcraftBritain I truly appreciate your time spent giving your insight on this matter. I’ll be choosing wisely accordingly. Thank you.
What color are those?
I’m not sure 🤔 I don’t own the shop anymore so I can’t look on the box 😔 Brindle seems to come to mind, and so does bison, but I don’t think Keen do many browns so there should be reasonably easy to find 👍🏻 thanks for the comments and enjoy your Outdoors time ☀️🏔️⛺️🌀
Excellent videos just wondering how this compares to a stanley flask
Thank you ☺️ I own both and rate them very similar 😉 both are well constructed and work exceptionally well and perhaps most importantly have a lifetime guarantee which in a vacuum flask is definitely worth it ☺️ (so always keepyour receipt)😉 I prefer the cup on this one, and have found the Stanley ones to be the weaker part of the unit, but again they are covered by the guarantee 😊 the other advantage of this one is the pouring function with the stopper in works really well where I never really trusted the Stanley one 😄 there’s not much between them, but if I had to make a decision, I would probably go with Klean Kanteen 😊 but either is good 👍🏻 I do like a hot beverage on a cold winter day out on the hill 🤗🏔️🌦️ at some point I will try and do a comparison video 😉🌀
Sorry didn't watch it all. KEEN Men's Circadia Mid Waterproof Boot Bison Brindle and Men's Ridge Flex Waterproof Bison Golden Browna are best fitting shoes/boots I have owned ; but the soles are totally bloody useless! The soles just don't last . Only use them for a few hours day at most , and not everyday --- I'm 70 and retired so basically walking the dog in the Australian Outback bush --- no stones or rocks . Have worn out to two pairs of shoes and the boots have lost most grip . All in a couple of years! It's seems near impossible to buy similar and so sensible broad footwear --- would love to hear about any you know of Cheers
Yes, the fit is not unique but almost so ☺️ they have a very wide area a square toe box and the wide heel 🤔 this is a fairly rare last type but there are other manufacturers that produce wider fitting boots- but I can’t think of any that are wider than these ones ☺️ however sole unit degradation was always a topic in the shop and it tended to be dog walkers that found issue- there is much to unpick here and I could write a small essay on sole unit construction, well actually quite a large one 😂 Tough hard, low rubber content sole units with stiff lasts tend to last longer but are less comfortable and tend to be heavier- these are lightweight softer easy walking types of footwear and with regular use will never last as long as we would like, in my experience anyway ☺️ one thing you could do is a little bit of maths to work out how many miles you’re doing in them, regular dog walks can add up to a surprisingly large amount of mileage 🐶😄 it’s a bit like car tyres, the type of compound they are made of will tend to dictate how long they last and also the type of tread they have, softer off-road tires will tend to degrade much faster than harder summer rated road tyres, and it’s very similar without our footwear 😉 they are also at the cheaper end of the premium market, but that said, in a similar type of boot, I don’t think you’d see much more mileage out of paying more 😉 in addition, I suspect you walk far longer distances over the months then you realise ☺️ which is a great thing wonderful for your mental health and absolutely key for your physical health 👍🏻 Hope this helps, great to hear you’re getting out there and enjoying your local environment! 🤗☀️🌀
@@WildcraftBritain Thank you for a wonderful and l o n g reply. And thank you for confirming my thoughts about the soft sole . Most others seem to "not know about that" Have decided keen targhee iii or the similar Merrell boots maybe better even though a bit too costly ---- but we get what we pay for. Again; many thanks for the article and reply. Safe wanders IanB
Thank's for doing the review but it scared me to death at 3mins 25 secs in.
🤭 it’s a good shot- there is a short with more of that footage ☺️ am working on a longer vid, good day out but very hard 😅 glad you enjoyed the review- good flask ☕️😊🌀
Great
Thank you☺️ it really is an excellent pack and I think Deuter are generally an underrated bad company and produce some of the best packs on the market 🤔 thanks for your comment and enjoy your Outdoors time ⛺️🏔️🌀
@@WildcraftBritain I have deuter guide 44+
I’ve been wearing a pair of these during the warm season for two years now. I love these sandals. I’ve hiked hundreds of miles on them. They are very durable and comfortable. My favorite sandals ever and I’ve been wearing sandals since the 90s.
Yeah, they are among the best constructed sandals I have owned ☺️👍🏻 many companies have dropped quality to maintain price or allow discounting from big boys but they seemed to have maintained theirs in the products I’ve used 🤔 glad to hear you have had a similar experience 😊 thanks for the input 👍🏻🌀
I really would love to get a pair of these boots. They will be great for Victorian winters/Autumn but I wonder if they will be too hot past 20 degrees (celsius)?? Has anyone had experience with over heating in these due to the all leather upper/waterproofing??
It’s an often asked question, how things will perform at a given temperature range ☺️ I suspect sometimes we just want to believe there’s one item to cover all eventualities 🤔 but in a four season environment with big temp swings a product that’s good in summer will be too cold in winter, or at least potentially, (things like bass layers can be bridged across seasons but even here season specific tend to be better and for example a heavyweight base layer for winter will be no good in the warmth of Midsomer), and I think where boots are concerned this is very much the case- it sounds excessive but I have eight pairs of boots alone for various jobs in various seasons, but I have been accessing the great Outdoors for over 30 years and some of those are quite old now as they only come out at certain circumstances that are reasonably rare but by when they occur prove valuable- I would say in general they will be too hot over 20° especially in humid conditions ☺️ but again it’s, as with most things, more complex than that as much depends on what else you are wearing and where footwear is concerned your sock is so important to control, as is fit of the boot🥾 these are wide with a wide heel and suit people with basically high volume large feet- ultimately I would class them as a autumn winter boot that can be used in the warmer seasons on wet and cold days 🌦️ hope this helps and enjoy your Outdoors time 🌤️☀️⛺️🍂🏔️🌀
Thanks for the review, even years later. I’m looking at the leather lined version.
Can’t wait for the full video!
It brought a new definition of knife edge ridge to my world 🏔️ amazing place 😄🌀
What size is it? M or L? I'm an M but idk if the jacket fits too tight or not... How tall are you and what size are you wearing, thatd be really helpful!

9y review? Please, can you do a look back?!
Wow, 9 years, been a while 😃 yeah, am thinking of doing a few tbh 🤔 thing is, with the exception of Paramo they all outsource manufacturing (well the clothing lot anyway), and within this time many have been sold etc, but still, I’m going to have to make a few 👍🏻☺️ I’ve not used it that much either, but that’s a thing to look at 😉🏕️🏔️🌀
@@WildcraftBritain I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and thank you for considering this.
By the way, I'm having this jacket for 3 months already.. i'm just curious how it will behave in time.
Great review. This convinced me to buy this jacket. As an avid Paramo wearer already I don’t need to be sold on any of the properties but I did need clarity on how this jacket actually works. My jacket arrived today and I can tell it’s going to be sometime before I retire it if ever. My Quito has been my go to jacket for approx 8 years and I need to do some repairs on it to bring it back up to scratch. I’m already thinking that the Enduro Windproof is going to fill that spot. Best wishes with your adventures.
Thanks ☺️ it’s to top big of kit and like you say, it’s Paramo so we known the fabric works 😁 Enjoy it’s use 👍🏻🏕️🌅🏔️🌀
Top notch. Moments like these make you feel alive.
I certainly felt mortal dread 😁🌀
Wow, simply breathtaking episode friend!

Liked the review. I've got merrel trainers and meindl boots but need something in-between and these look perfect 👌
Thank you ☺️ they are well made and fit an unexploited niche in outdoor footwear 🤔 if they fit your foot shape they should give good service 👍🏻🌀
Fantastic scenery. We'll look forward to seeing the full film. 😊

Good review
I did this walk when i was about 11, 43 ish years ago, did it with my dad and brother, did it again a couple years after as well plus the cleveland way, such nice memories. Wanting to do it agin this year but will be solo, and will be making it a double crossing, so 80 miles in one hit. Back then you have to use a map and compass at many places and didnt have the paths like there is now that i see on all the videos. How clothing has changed and the rest of the gear and is so lite now, I think one of the best tings about youtube is that your daughter can look back on it in many years to come.
Hi pal, am I right in saying the lower part isn't Gore Tex? I've been considering these for my mtb rides.....I have Gore Tex boots and waterproof pants but they're too short in the leg so on a really wet ride the top of my socks get wet and the water migrates down into my boots hence the reason I'm looking at these...Cheers Michael
They are Cordura backed with I don’t know what 🤔 it’s very tough and what you need in the location 👍🏻 not sure about MTB use 🤔 have you tried long waterproof socks? 🧦 really rate them on a bike ☺️ Enjoy your outdoors time 🏔️🏕️🌅👍🏻
The pour seems a bit messy, not precise enough.
Yeah, I see your point, but it works well in practice and it’s the only flask I have trusted to use with the stopper not removed 🤔
Great review, thanks! I love the design and simplicity of this bottle. I still have a Stanley Master series 1.3 l, which is an absolute monster, but the stopper is made of plastic, and I had one failing after a year of use. The all metal stopper of the TK Pro is pretty unique. The only thing that stopped me from buying one was that some of the Amazon reviews were not as good.
Thanks for watching 😄 I’m have a Stanley 2ltr and it’s been a good flask 👍🏻 rate them both tbh 🤔 prefer the aesthetics of the TK though ☺️ Enjoy your outdoors time 🌳🏕️🏔️🌀
Just bought mine 3 days ago paid $200 American. I don’t want to take them off for the moment I put them on it was the perfect fit. I tried on Danner, Solomon and Keen and these just amazed me. The gib is fantastic and I went on a 25 mile hike with the support I needed and kept me dry in wetland. Thanks for the great review
Fantastic video, adorable dogs and stunning views! Hoping to do this with my two beagles. Tried to do Bruach na Frithe in May but my youngest dog struggled so only made up to the ridge. Thanks for sharing 🐶🐶😊
Thank you 🙏 that’s a really kind comment ☺️ it has some steep sections, but some good route finding makes it accessible 😉 the view is well worth the climbing (and there’s views a plenty on the way up) 🏔️ 🌞 good fortune with your attempt, I hope the weather gods are kind 🙏 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕️ 🌳🌀
Have you tried the fjallraven expedition Down hoodie....
Not had any new Fjallraven for years tbh- they tend to be @20% more RRP than equivalent brands 🤔 their Bushcraft range is fairly unique though but you pay that premium again ☺️🌀
Hello... Fantastic info dvd review just bought two of these in a limited edition colourways ... Hoping it'll be fantastic with a paramo alta iii over it for my winter hiking.. The other I'm keeping for commuting and leisurewear...
It will be very insulating under that Alta 🥵 it’s a good stand alone jacket for cold dry days and it’s a great urban jacket for cold weather 🥶 heats up quick and is light- it’s not that durable on the outer though, that lightweight fabric can rip easily on sharp edges 😉
Enjoyed your video I'm planning doing the same route nxt spring so found your vid very helpfull. I'll be going solo - which I prefer - mekes it more challenging but in other ways easier I find.
It’s a great route- will go again as I missed the views 🏕️have a good trip and stay safe 👍🏻😉 glad you liked the vid ☺️ enjoy your outdoors time, Andy ⛰️🌀
Could barely hear you. I had the volume up max on the video and my speaker - very quiet.
Sorry 😞 as it said in the description we had a mic fail 🫣🌀
Very good and informative video for those boots. Exactly why I bought a pair and I got mine for 75% off the original $170 price by looking around. 👌
Glad you enjoyed the vid ☺️ sounds like you got a right bargain 👍🏻 enjoy your outdoors time, Andy ⛰️🦌👍🏻
Having already bought the enduro windproof last year decided I might as well get the fleece, wore the combo up scafell pike two weeks ago in 70mph wind and it was great really comfortable to wear. Also had solid rain the day after and gave it a good test in the rain and it lasted quite a while but like you said does get damp, just wondering if it would get cold in high wind or not. Off up moel hebog end of October so sure it will get another good test after a thorough proofing. Cheers for the vid.
That’s some wind 🌬️⛰️ sounds like an interesting assent 😄 yeah, it’s a good system and I rate them both as stand alone pieces- they don’t replace an Analogy Waterproof but do a reasonable job in rain 🌧️ I ware my fleece all the time as I find it comfortable and it’s taken a lot of general ware without signs of ware (but that’s Paramo in general) ☺️ while it’s warm for its weight it’s not a heavy insulation system, but if your working hard it might be enough in October- as you mentioned, proofing is important (like in all outerwear) 🤔 have a good trip and enjoy 😊🏕️🌀
@@WildcraftBritain we camped at langdale campsite walked up scafell pike via rossett gill, got pretty precarious over il crag with the wind sheer but soldiered on, ended up being a 12hour round trip then 6hrs In the pub after 😂 but yh love paramo gear it's top notch
@@Jman21UK sounds like an epic 😄🏕️⛰️🌀
After wearing both together in rain for a while I've come to the conclusion you need to wear a light grid fleece underneath and that then works perfectly, without the grid fleece the arms get very damp and cold. On the whole though happy with the duology set up.
@@Jman21UK thanks for the input 👍🏻 they work alone or together well (I use both, but I use the Bentu Windproof as well- will review that at some point)- combined it’s not an Analogy waterproof but it works and fills a broad niche 🤔
Ive been a liquid fan for a bit. Been through a few. Just got my first whisper and it’s a great little stove. Frankenstein a good Primus or optimus pump and it’s great.
Nice idea 👍🏻😁🌀

Hi . Did you say the newer ones have a bit of a wider foot. Because I’ve got a pair and they seem very narrow especially going from mid to toe section . Can’t wear them unfortunately.
Yes, I’m the 2018 and beyond edition they increased the toe box are width and volume 👍🏻 did you get your feet measured before trying? What size are you and what size are the boots? I fit a lot of boots and sometimes people have very wide feet 🦶 always try on before you buy and get advice if you can 😉 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🌳🌀
@@WildcraftBritain Hi Andy . I’m size 8 feet . Got them last year but in truth never really wore them until 3 or 4 months ago . I’ll take them back just to see what they say .

Thought maybe it was just a case of breaking in but I don’t think so . I’ll take them back and put them up against another pair in store and tell them . Someone also says scarpa are more suited for narrow feet but I don’t know . I only heard that from a random hiker when I was talking to him . Thx mate
@@stevie2686 no worries 😉 would seriously suggest getting your feet measured and looked at- I suspect you have a wide foot 🦶 it’s an urban myth about Scarpa and narrow- it comes from over 40 years ago when Scarpa just made a small range for Italy 🇮🇹 which were narrow ☺️ the modern Scarpas are made in conjunction with the Mountain Boot company, (the importer), and they have made lasts to suit our feet, which tend to be wide and big volume (I see a lot of feet so my experience it’s true, with exceptions 🤔) There are wider boots 🥾 Keen do some very wide boots, as do Gri-Sport, both good makes 👍🏻 did you try the 43 on as well?

Hi there. This is a lovely video. Thanks for sharing. Can I ask if you would class this as a “light mountain” route. I’m looking at buying a pair of Scarpa Terra boots and that phrase in your review video struck me as interesting. This type of hike in the Lake District is as tough as I will do, and I’m trying to make as informed a purchase decision as possible. (I’m in Australia, and I hiked the Pennine Way last year in trail runners - which were super comfy and adequate for that walk.) Thanks for the channel, which I’ve just stumbled upon.
Hi Andy- in those conditions, (ie dry), I would class it as light mountain walking ⛰️ especially if you stick to the trails 👍🏻 there’s a few narly bits, but the Terras should be a good choice, (especially if you have a reasonable level of fitness), and adding a pair of poles will help safety and help take the pressure off feet and ankles 😉 glad you liked the video, thanks for the sub ☺️ Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🌞🏕️🌀
