This time we review the Verdi Mid WP from Keen.

The first thing I noticed about these boots is that they’re more like tennis shoes

than boots which is a good thing.

They’re made of a very soft mesh fabric that conforms to your foot kinda like

spider man’s suit.

The Keen are so light and comfortable it’s like being barefoot.

At only 15.5 ounces they’re almost half the weight of the Keen Oregon PCT’s.

Having said that, the PCT’s are more rugged like a work boot and offer better ankle support which is better for extended backpacking.

The Verdi do have a gusseted tongue and the Keen Dry Waterproof system that

breathes surprisingly well.

I have never gotten a blister with my Oregon PCT’s and don’t expect to with the Verdi.

Backpacking - OR Gaiters funny

http://twogearguysblog.blogspot.com/

This week we’ll be reviewing the Verglas Gaiters from Outdoor Research.

The Verglas Gaiters are really durable to help protect your legs from thorns and biars.

They close in front with large strips of velcro.

There is a lace hook up front and a tough instep strap to hold the Gaiters securely in place making sure your shoes don’t pick up any loose rock, leaves, twigs or dirt.

Getting that stuff stuck in your boot can be really irritating when you’re hiking.

Also, the straps up top help adjust the fit.

Best of all, the Verglas Gaiters are waterproof, so walking through tall wet grass will not

leave your legs soaked. However, the Gaiter doesn’t breathe that well. So, after a long hike you may find your legs soaked with sweat rather than dew.

So lets review. The Verglas Gaiters offer your legs protection in several ways.

They protect you from briars and branches.

They deflect dirt, rocks and twigs.

They’re waterproof.

They resist confetti.

However, they will not protect you from any of the following!

bullets.

snake bites.

harsh words.

hockey puck.
