Features

Warmth: These boots are lined at the top part of the boot with a comfortable fleece. They feature 200g of insulation,a bit light on insulation compared to other competitors.

Water Resistance:  I was a little nervous taking the boots when walking for 4+ hours a day in the rain in a muddy forest but they were good, the water repellent membrane kept my feet dry.

Comfort: These boots are comfortable and lightweight. Its wide toe-box allows you to wear thick socks and still have room to move your toes. I recommend ordering your normal size, but the boots feel a tad large. While the boots have a zero-drop outsole, you may find that the boots do not have enough ground feel due to their thicker and less flexible soles.
