Our #1 Favourite Travel Gear
We're not supposed to take favourites with our gear, but if you had to ask us what is the most import item we used for our 3 year adventure, then without question the clear #1 choice would be these pair of boots.
Our Mountain Light boots have been worn almost daily for 800+ days in the Amazon rainforest, on Icelandic glaciers, and in Namibian deserts. It survived a rainstorm in Oman. A tour guide in Hanoi commented how great it looks and horseback cowgirls in Colorado was in awe of its style.
It has never once failed us despite the weather, humidity, sand or mud. The one-piece leather design and GORE-TEX lining keeps the water out, while maintaining breathability so it won't overheat on you.
It also has a lot of smaller clever design details that you will learn to appreciate through your travels, such as the fast-tie hooks for laces (great for Japan, India or Airports where you need to remove shoes constantly) and a very comfortable and grippy Vibram Kletterlift outsole. And it's so low maintenance that we've only oiled/conditioned it once in 3 years despite the abuses we've put it through!
If you can only have one thing from our website, or one item for your next adventure, it would be these amazing boots!
