What&acirc;&#128;&#153;s the difference between the 1) Sundowner GTX Hiking Boot and 2) Summit GTX Waterproof Backpacking Boot?

The Sundowner is more for everyday wear or short hikes. The Summit is a heavier boot made for more serious backpacking.

I currently have both (Aggressor in Tundra and the 3-in-1 in Black) and am deciding which to keep. By all observations these two jackets are identical in size, build quality, stitching, insulation, waterproofness, etc.So much so, that it appears the only real differences are: 1. the available colors. Aggressor has Tundra or Tan. 3-in-1 has Black, Navy or Red. 2. the microphone molle at each shoulder on the 3-in-one jacket. There doesn't appear to be any justification for the 3-in-1's higher price. Guess you need to pay it if you want black. Would be nice if the outer shells and the fleece jackets were sold individually so you could mix and match the colors.

I have taken both out on 2 backpacking trips, never had to use the msr, to be honest I take the msr just in case the ultra light fails on me, well it hasn't, don't know if I got a really well made version, but I almost never use the msr, to be fair though the overall look and finish of the msr is better but both are equally functional in my opinion, if ever my ultra light fails I will revise this answer.

These boots are meant for rugged terrain and outdoor use , for an pool you would like to use a lighter shorter boot and a thinner gauge neoprene

Tough to answer. I'd suggest contacting the company. I had a question about the fit of my K-Summits, and they were quite helpful over the phone.

Sloggers are also waterproof - the sole is much better, I had a pair of muck boots and the tread wore out in a year so they became very slippery to walk in especially on a slope - Sloggers are 1/2 the price and I find that I like them much better than the muck boot product - Hope this helps you make your decision

According to Ledge Sports.com this bag is water resistant. All of ledge backpacking sleeping bags are water resistant. These bags are a great value!

since you asked this a few months ago - did you decide yet? :-) the reviews of the summit 360 single and double seem to have a lot of people who have had both. the 360 and xc are pretty similar. i'm waiting till a local store has the xc in person to try one. i have a bob dualie and now need a single - the summit seems to have a much less annoying harness adjustment system and takes a taller kid. if it really feels as solid as the bob i will probably go with the summit. otherwise i will get an old single bob as i don't care for the new bob at all.

The bundled laces are elastic, which is a problem. No matter how hard I tried tight them up, they just can't provide enough support to fasten the hiking boot (Salomon X Ultra Mid 2 GTX). I ended up using just the lock & clip with original laces from the hiking boot, which is not elastic. The combination works much better than the lock laces.

HI, I really have no idea. Your question would be answered better by Osprey. What I can say is the fit and finish is excellent, it's super comfortable and I am very satisfied. I also own the Stratos 34 by Osprey and really like the company. I hope that was helpful. Musashi84

The Evo Tour version (about $30 more) have the heel riser - many find it helpful if you are ascending steep slopes, but IMHO these are not the snowshoes for mountaineering.

You have to buy Garmin's Topo US software in order to make the unit usable for hiking. It is available from Amazon. I'd say the important difference between this and the eTrex is size/weight and price. If you don't mind paying the extra money and carry something just a bit bigger and heavier, the 60Csx is a superior unit. I also use it in the car and on the bike. You can have both Topo and City Navagator software on it at the same time. You will need another memory chip into the 60Csx. I have a 1G chip that holds all the Northeast road and Topo maps.

I did! I bought second pair at the end of the summer. Best wading boot I've every hiked in.

Yea! Gore tex is usually attached under the leather of a boot. Which makes the boot water proof for your feet, but the leather will still take on water. If you spray this on leather it will protect/waterproof the leather as well.

the difference comes in the fabric they use... they comfort models have the anti-slip dots on the bottom and the suede on top so your bag doesn't slide off the pad. On a level surface, which good luck finding in the woods, they are equal, on slants the comfort model will keep the pad still and you on it, whereas the lightweight model could have you waking up with the pad crumpled at the downhill end of the tent with you halfways off it.

The dx is the big one. I have both and use both for different reasons. The dx is good for an overnight trip (without sleeping bag and tent). The smaller is good for a day trip.
