Lightweight but crazy warm—ideal for backpacking trips ⛰️🎒. Didn’t leak a single feather after months of use. Props to the site for fast shipping and zero hassle. Love it! 🔥👍
Me*****ole
Love the fit and warmth 🌟 Only wish it came in more colors! That said, the black looks sleek with everything. Website was amazing — saved my favorites, sent restock alerts, and the reviews helped me decide. 10/10 shopping experience 💻✨

Built like a dream 🔧 Sleek, durable, and crazy efficient. I’m a guide in the Rockies, and this jacket earns its keep every day. Packs tiny into my emergency kit — lifesaver on unpredictable days. Also, the website? Clean, fast, secure. Even recommended matching gloves — snapped ‘em up 💥

Love this jacket! 😍 Lightweight but so warm, perfect for hiking in the mountains 🏔️. Packed it for a recent trip to Banff and it took up almost no space in my bag. Super happy with the quality and the fit is spot on 💯. Also, the website was super easy to use and the delivery was fast 🚚. Highly recommend! 👍

Obsessed doesn’t even cover it 💘 This thing weighs nothing but heats like a furnace! Took it on a flight to Iceland and used it as a blanket — genius move. Pockets are roomy, hood fits over beanies, AND the site has the best filter options ever 🔍 Found exactly what I wanted in 2 clicks 🙌
Emi*******pson
This jacket is like a warm hug from a cloud ☁️💖! So light I forget I’m wearing it, yet keeps me toasty in chilly weather. Perfect for hiking or just looking cute in the city 🌲🏙️. Also, the website’s checkout was smooth as butter—10/10 shopping experience! 🛍️😊
Mar******ed
Solid jacket, really impressed with the warmth-to-weight ratio 🤩 Only reason not 5 stars? Took a minute to figure out the zip — kinda stiff at first. Once it loosened up, smooth sailing. Also, the site’s customer service chat helped me pick the right size 👍
Aid******ter
Just back from a weekend in Banff — this jacket crushed it ⛰️💪 Windy peaks, icy trails, you name it. Stayed warm, dry, and didn’t puff up weirdly under my pack. Also, props to the website — saved my cart when I forgot to check out, and the email reminder had a sweet discount 😏
Li*****en
Great jacket overall! Super packable and cozy 👌🧥. Only minor thing—it runs a *tiny* bit small, so maybe size up if you're layering. Website was super easy to navigate, plus love the real customer photos 📸❤️.
Jak*******son
Perfect for layering! 🏔️ Wore it under a shell in freezing rain and stayed completely dry + toasty. The down doesn’t clump, and it breathes way better than I expected. Also, huge shoutout to the site — super easy navigation and the size guide was spot-on 🙌 No guesswork needed 😎

I’ve had the Zamberlan 309’s for a month now and have put about 75 km on them. They fit great right out of the box but have been getting even more comfortable every time I hike. I like the lacing system and the ability to adjust the tightness in different parts of the boot. Although they’re fairly new they are definitely waterproof and have good grip. Hopefully they hold up over time.

One of the best all around boots you can buy. Good for 2 hour hikes or 4 day backpacking trips. Not too stiff, but lots of support. Ama*******ots

I bought these last month at the tail end of winter. I am 5 ft 7 woman approx 160 lbs. They are a great size and weight for me. I wanted a pair that would be easy to strap on as I have arthritis in my knee. The harness is easily adjustable. The back strap is a little fiddly to connect the hole into the spike and to insert the extra strap into the holder. However that is minor and after a few tries I got the hang of it. Only reason for the 4 instead of stars. Great product and I look forward to many years of use. kh*****tfg

My wife and I traveled for two months last winter. These were the only shoes/sandals I brought, and they served me well through some of the harshest conditions including the desert outback in Australia, the rain in New Zealand, and several encounters with saltwater... They are the perfect everything sandal/shoe for hot, warm, and moderate climates. When we were traveling, we did lots of walking, hiking, beaching, etc. These sandals were up to the challenge of a good hike, or just recreational walking around town. While they are comfortable and breathe well, They don't easily dry while being worn, and because of the toe cap/footbed design, have a tendency to sometimes trap pebbles or sand, requiring that your remove them to shake it out. Also, after time, they really started to stink and required a through cleaning/bleaching which is strange for me because none of my other shoes ever stink. Overall, an excellent comfortable everything sandal/shoe with a few very minor flaws. df*****hk

I bought this during the MEC sale. I wear a size 6 women boots and the size small fits my boots. I can't compare to size XS which is what is recommended for my boot size as they didn't have it in the store but my size small works and fits me well so no complaints here. Haven't used it for that long so I can't talk about the longevity but I did use them for winter hiking and they are 100% waterproof and the velcro still works! b***gh

l love these gaiters. They kept my feet dry in 3 days of continuous rain. I find them easy to adjust and don't budge or slide down as I am a small human. I recommend them to all my friends who want quality gaiters for a modest dollar amount. Would love to see more colours in the future! kh****lh

I am in my 3rd year of wearing Keen boots and will not buy another brand period. They have always had a great fit and no break period. I wear them everyday at work and for pleasure. f***dg

Had these a short time but so far they seem pretty nice. Good quality and comfortable. My previous Targhee III’s were splitting at several seems, but these are reputed to be less prone to this. vb*****fn

I bought my first pair back in 2006 and last year replaced them with new version. Materials are high quality and very durable. We wear them 3 seasons fall/winter/spring when they are needed. Definitely happy with them. Follow sizing chart which works well for me. h***h

I recently bought a pair of these from MEC and have not yet tested them in the field, but I love their hand-made Italian construction and strength, their good Vibram soles, and their general feel and good quality. They fit well, feel supportive enough for most hiking, and are a very good price. Unusually, the tongues in these boots have no seams, but are directly part of the outer boot leather, which is a bonus to not have leaking tongue seams as in most boots, and it's a sign of high-quality design and manufacturing. Zamberlan have been making boots since 1929, almost 100 years. I love these boots. Thor*********boots

Loved the Targhee III's, they did start to crack after countless miles and several years of abuse, the IV's have addressed this while keeping the same comfort. I was able to take them out of the box and hike a rough 10 mile hoke with np break in. yt*****urt

Bought these for a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier National payl for light, waterproof hiking needs. Very comfortable through miles of walking and hiking. hn*****gjh
