Thousand Mile - Thousand Mile Classic Sock

Thousand Mile Classic Sock The 1000 Mile Classic Sock is a sock within a sock. The inner layer stays with the foot, the outer layer moves with the shoe thus eliminating friction on the skin and reducing wear. The unique mixture of fibres helps to keep the foot cool, dry and blister free. 76% Cotton, 24% Nylon for comfort and durability. Suitable for running, cross-training and as a thick liner sock for outdoor use.

Terra Nova - Terragaiters

Terragaiters Tough Goretex front fastening full overgaiter with exceptionally durable 5-10 sticky rubber rand. These are far more durable than similar gaiters from other brands we have tried.

On virtually all boots it will be necessary to glue the toe onto the rand of the boot. This is best done by turning the toe inside out and then fitting the heel of the gaiter to the boot. Then spread glue over the front of the boot rand and flip the gaiter toe over pushing it onto the boot and temporarily fixing it in place with sellotape. The best glue for the job seems to be Freesole, though any seam sealant should do.

Mardale - Needle Sports Bivi Boots

Needle Sports Bivi Boots Buffalo used to make their own Bivi Boots but unaccountably dropped them from their range. We redesigned them so that they now feature a pertex outer and pile inner with a waterproof nylon sole. Made for us by Mardale.

They are ideal for winter camping and alpine bivis as they weigh virtually nothing but will warm your feet up quickly, dry out damp socks in the process and are waterproof enough to cope with an essential dash out of the tent in the middle of the night. Very comfortable worn inside plastic boot outers for loafing around basecamp and great used in this way for fording rivers.

A pair of Large weigh 150g.
