Oh! No, I’ve just got them and weighed them. Not taken them out of the house yet. I’m not too sure about hiking in them as they’re neoprene but it’s worth an experiment of a few miles I think.Thems vibram trek ascent knock off soles...! Have you tried hiking in them?

(a dumb question - did you hike in them without socks?)

The only dumb question is the question not asked
On the 2 dayer, I wore xoskin socks with them. Helps stop rubbing from trail dust and some extra comfort when constantly wet.

A Durston Kakwa 40 Ultragrid 2024 (850g in Large) - thanks to @verysimple for the spot.
Second try in the none-too-urgent search for a lighter pack than my trusty old Nigor Zero-G (1100g).
The first try (last year) was a Gossamer Gear G4-20 which I only had to try on once to realise it wasn't for me.
Will this be The One? We shall see...

Where was the offer? That’s my current shoe of choice

Trekitt, also SportPursuit has them at a slightly lower price but postage needs to be added.

Mountain Equipment Glace sun hoodie
www.sportsshoes.com
Now a convert to sun hoodies, tried it on a 7 hour walk today in 29°c, felt great, kept the sun off, wicked well and didn't pong.
Doesn't have thumb loops but arms were long enough and elastic enough to cover my knuckles and stay put.

Surprised you're even allowed to bring then up with you. Normally when we take longer bus journeys everything goes in the back "boot" storage or underneath. Id much rather have it by my feet as everything underneath just gets chucked around, piled on, squashed etc

No problem with bringing them on the bus: you can bring whatever you like, as long as you can fit it under/on the seats you're in, or on the overhead shelf.
We ask the attendant (who loads your bags, brings you coffee or other refreshments and wakes you up at your stop) not to put anything heavy on them, and they're usually good about it.

Once left my wallet on one... And got it back from the depot.....
After seeing tea leafs with their hands removed... I guess that even theft by finding is a big no no!

While turks will absolutely fleece you, they will do no evil and always help when there is trouble.

I cannot work out how to put a photograph up, but I'm sure everyone knows of them. Really responsive company I found in my dealings with them.
