LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD

Reducing pack weight (and thus increasing fun) begins with the three 'heavies' - your shelter, your sleeping system and your backpack. VentureLite offers guidelines for each of these, alongside comment on lightweight adventure kit such as stoves and fuel, clothing and footwear, lighting, nutrition, water purification and survival gear.

Salomon Exit GTX Multi-Activity Shoe

I have had a pair of Salomon Exit GTX Multi-Activity shoes for a few months now and they have been a fantastic purchase, for use in all-conditions. They are water-tight and breathable thanks to the GoreTex membrane with a nubuck and split suede leather upper. They are reasonably lightweight (for their comparable durability) at apx. 800g for the pair, offering a stable, deep-lugged 'contagrip' sole unit. I have used them walking muddy trails, cycling the moors as well as pottering into town, with a bounce in my step. They fit snugly, hugging the foot well, giving confidence of grip and protection. Overall, I would say that they are a jack of all trades shoe - rather than being specifically great at one particular activity. I am very pleased with them and would certainly recommend them to VentureLite readers.
