een’s new Wanderer WP (£120) is described as a sleek premium hiker with a distinctly European


fit and feel. The Wanderer has been created as a semi mid-cut – said to suit those who want to combine the flexibility of a shoe with the support and comfort of a mid-cut boot. This hybrid concept aims to deliver a balance of flexibility and protection allowing outdoor explorers to focus on the adventure afoot, wherever they should roam. The hiker features a direct-inject construction technique that attaches a high-


quality nubuck and suede leather upper directly to the PU midsole for long lasting comfort and durability. The semi mid-cut shaft is equipped with a KEEN.DRY membrane and a hydrophobic mesh lining for breathability and comfort in a range of conditions, whilst a soft collar offers out-of-the-box comfort and ankle protection. An integrated heel cushion locks directly into a lightweight EVA footbed for


comfort and shock absorption whilst a dual-compound rubber outsole ensures reliable grip and robust performance from groomed trails to challenging terrains. www.keenfootwear.com

The Fuse has the following features: •30 Denier Mini-Ripstop Nylon shell. •Lightweight 30D Mini-Ripstop Nylon lining. •Internal Pocket – placed to provide storage for small essentials •Arrow Foot – shaped foot area allowing feet to relax into their natural position •Omega shaping – to position zips and seams in the bottom of the bag. •3D Hood with Multi-Cord Closure – strategic design means the head and shoulders are kept much warmer during the night. •Full length two-way auto-lock zip with zip guard: Used to seal in warmth or provide ventilation and can be used from inside the bag. •Roll Top Dry Bag - Roll three times for a sealed, water tight bag.
