    Quick lace issues on my Salomon X Ultra Gore-Tex Trail shoes

    I don't think that we have the same type of shoe. My shoes don't have a tip or top option to be tighter. Look at the Go Outdoors website to see what I mean. They're the black with blue trim shoes.

    Quick lace issues on my Salomon X Ultra Gore-Tex Trail shoes

    But at almost £100 I shouldn't have to buy other laces. They shouldn't loosen so easily, after all the big advice is to keep your shoes as tight as reasonably comfortable to avoid possible irritation and blistering.

    Quick lace issues on my Salomon X Ultra Gore-Tex Trail shoes

    Hi all A few weeks ago I bought a pair of Salomon X Ultra Gore-Tex Trail shoes with a quick lace system. However, after a short time of wearing them (15 minutes) of light walking the laces on both shoes tend to loosen. I have checked each shoe thoroughly to see if there are any defects, or if...

    Water bladder or no water bladder; that is my question?

    Water bladder or no water bladder; that is my question?

    Hi Sarah You're right that different people need different amounts. What I know about daily fluid intake is this; For each kilo of body weight, 30ml of fluid is required each day. I'm 80 kg x 30ml = 2.4 litres. This fluid intake can be a combination of liquid and food, this can include tea and...

    Water bladder or no water bladder; that is my question?

    My point was whether to carry a 2L bladder and fill it, or only take a water bottle and stop off more etc. Plenty of people in both camps it would seem. No wrong or right way I guess.

    Water bladder or no water bladder; that is my question?

    Me to Keith. As you know i'm possibly getting this tomorrow, however, I had a stark realisation last night that I seriously need to cut weight down. My current equipment list (packed weight), and my walking weight combined is close to 10kg!! I'm need to slice 2kg off of this if possible. Hence...

    Water bladder or no water bladder; that is my question?

    Thanks for the comment xin, but it wasn't of much assistance to me. I wouldn't want to risk dehydration, I know that when I'm in a hot climate and/ or active I do need to drink fluids.

    Water bladder or no water bladder; that is my question?

    Currently putting the equipment list together for my Camino. I've even found the actual weights to all of the products that I want to pack, however, the pack weight came out as 8.9kg including the pack. So im looking at which areas to scale back on, or to forget about completely. For now, forget...
